He probably already knows, because, well, ya know

It should be bipartisan at this point to demand the release.

If it makes everyone in office look bad then all the better!

Because a ton of people in office were his "clients". This country is rotten

Reading the Epstein saga start to finish has been instructive as to how power works in this country.

I previously had not understood it.

What you wrote is very interesting (and intriguing). What readings would you recommend?

Not the previous commenter, but I would recommend Hiding In Plain Sight, by Sarah Kendzior. It centers on Donald Trump, but covers in great detail what is publicly known about the seedy history of the people in his orbit, including Epstein, and it calls into question how the people in power in the political, business, and media worlds have left so many questions go unanswered.

I think Biden sniffing every kid he could get his hands on qualifies as "hiding in plain sight".

Not the person you asked but what (s)he described sounds like "One nation under black mail" by Whitney Web. Actually worried whether the author would get Epsteined herself.

'they' works wonders in such cases :) (hope this is not seen as snarky or whatever)

That's precisely why we'll never see it.

No I don't know, tell us.

Because he was friends with Jeffrey Epstein and has personally seen the island

Trump, a sexual offender known to grab pussies of random women, had a relationship with Epstein.

Yeah, unless his dementia worsens even more he's not going to release those files.

Unless the release won't actually hurt him. There's a big group of persons that will aspire to be powerful enough to do those sorts of things... It would help strengthen his image
