Honestly!! I cannot believe your spiral down to a bad TV reality show!!!This is not a serious country.

Here is what I think. The files contain no end of embarrassing and salacious information on many men of both political stripes but none of it reaches the level of hard, prosecutorial evidence of criminal behavior. Releasing the information, minus criminal charges , would be both inappropriate, unethical and illegal. The Garland DOJ knew that and therefore didn't release the info. In comes Bondi thinking she had some sort of smoking gun and finds the same thing.....releasing the information would be a political and legal disaster. Yup, there is stuff there but releasing it serves no legitimate public purpose. Good luck Bondi walking this back. Best Trump can hope for is the public becoming bored .....
I'm not going with anything except to say the evidence would have to be overwhelming.....he says , she says won't cut it. Personally, I think a bunch of very rich, entitled pigs need to be, at the least, exposed for their disgusting behaviors but releasing salacious details without an indictment isn't appropriate either.We successfully threw a woman in jail for running a criminal underage sex ring for the rich and powerful, and yet, we don't have enough evidence for any prosecutable offences by any of those rich and powerful people despite the likely testimony of the people involved who would know precisely what happened?
That's what you're going with?

My point is they likely don't have the kind of hard evidence needed for a conviction. Make no mistake though, I think these men, including Trump, are pigsWe don't have the evidence, the government is sitting on it.
**** this is the home of jerry springer. All those trash shows from the 90s to early 2000s probably made this inevitable.Honestly!! I cannot believe your spiral down to a bad TV reality show!!!

It's a tough one. I believe that horrible men did horrible things. However, I also believe a civilized society cannot allow the prosecution of those people to happen in the court of public opinion. A special prosecutor would be the answer but there is no way this Administration would appoint a true and unbiased arbitror of the facts. Its a messI'm quite certain we don't have enough evidence for a conviction if the people who prosecute such things won't pursue one.
What's "likely" in this scenario is hard to tell because it seems like there ought to be plenty of evidence.
We all know his name is in the files he flew on Jeffrey Epstein's plane multiple times he didn't go to bugger Island.![]()
Donald Trump says his name may have been planted in Jeffrey Epstein files
The president has faced pressure from his supporters to release the files about Epstein, which they believe will reveal a cover-up.www.newsweek.com
But Donald.... for years you've pushed the conspiray theory that the global elites (Jews and Democrats) were having sex with underage girls in a sex-trafficking ring run by Jeffrey Epstein. You continually told your MAGA base that if elected, you would drain the D.C. swamp and reveal all the names in the "Epstein List". Now that you're in the Oval Office, you want nothing to do with any purported Epstein List. Your Attorney General, Pam Bondi, informed you that your name was indeed in Epstein's List. Dozens of photographs have surfaced of you and Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell (Epstein's girfriend and child groomer) at parties, and flight manifests denote you flying on Epstein's "Lolita Express" party airplane no less than 8 times. Your Deputy Attorney General (and former personal attorney) Todd Blanche secretly interviewed Ghislaine Mawell and offered her limited immunity. Maxwell's attorney says Ghislaine is (somehow) the victim and should be pardoned. He seems to forget that Ms. Maxwell was convicted of the sex-trafficking of minors, and also convicted of two counts of perjury. Borrowing a page from Maxwell's attorney, Donald Trump now claims he is also a victim and was probably framed.
It seems Donnie, that you have a fairly good idea of the context that your name appears in the Epstein Files. Drain the swamp? America has never before seen such scandalous corruption from the Oval Office.

Everyone knows this I think there's probably more going on here.
We all already knew before bondi said anything. It's not a secret not sure if ever wasPam Bondi told Trump his name is in the Epstein Files. The exact context is unknown unless the files are released, which Trump is now reluctant to do.

Trump was told by Bondi his name appeared multiple times in Epstein files: Report
According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, Pam Bondi informed President Trump in May that his name appeared multiple times in the Epstein files.abcnews.go.com
Oh OK.....tell me again why Trump won't release them
The grand jury testimony is a small subset of the information in the file. Everything other than the actual testimony is under the control of the DOJ. They absolutely can release it if they wanted to.Is it "won't release them" or can't force them being released?
you're right in that the DOJ said they'd release files then said there were no files ..... even though I'm Trump voter/supporter I clearly see the problems and then Trump saying Epstein stole his spa girls .... again, troubling
I absolutely do not know any such thing. I believe they didn't release them for the same reason Bondi now realizes she can't. It is inappropriate, unethical and likely illegal to release investigative material on individuals who were, for whatever reason, not charged with any crimes.I keep going back to what I've said before though - 4 years Democrats had office .... they did everything they could to keep Trump from even running in 2024, much less winning. There was 4 years of opportunity for them to link Trump to Epstein and didn't and you and I both know if they could have, they would have
that's what Trump does and you're rightThe grand jury testimony is a small subset of the information in the file. Everything other than the actual testimony is under the control of the DOJ. They absolutely can release it if they wanted to.
Trump and his loyalists caused this mess and I see no way out of it for them. They are just going to have to ride it out as suspicions, caused by them, grows . Trump's comment about the spa girl was flat out stupid. The more he keeps on yapping the worse it gets.

Left and right are clamoring because they aren't concerned, like an AG would be, with the legal fallout of releasing investigative material involving people not charged with a crime. Like the right , they are simply looking for salacious material to embarrass the other side,that's what Trump does and you're right
then why does the left clammer on about it so much then ?

Additionally, he bragged about how he could have his way sexually with women because he was rich, he also admitted he liked women on the younger side, he cheated on all three of his wives including sleeping with a porn start just after his new son was born and having a lengthy affair with a Playboy Bunny . The man is immoral. I have no doubt that he was involved in illicit sexual acts while with Epstein however, I also believe that there was not enough evidence to charge him with criminal behavior. I also believe the same of the other men known to chum with Epstein.I agree which is why I really don't think Trump was involved with Epstein island
however
he said he'd release all - he hasn't
he has said mixed things on his association with Epstein
now, he's flapping about Epstein stealing his spa girls ?
I'm still glad we have him vs Kamala ..... and I'm still very much looking forward to 2028 when we no longer have to deal with a Clinton/Obama/Bush/Biden or Trump
many wealthy men have this- its not illegal. Women love moneyAdditionally, he bragged about how he could have his way sexually with women because he was rich,
many men dohe also admitted he liked women on the younger side,
not uncommonhe cheated on all three of his wives including sleeping with a porn start just after his new son was born and having a lengthy affair with a Playboy Bunny .
100% agreeThe man is immoral.
ok I DO have doubts - you're going to have to prove he was involved with Epstein like thatI have no doubt that he was involved in illicit sexual acts while with Epstein however, I also believe that there was not enough evidence to charge him with criminal behavior. I also believe the same of the other men known to chum with Epstein.
Perhaps it would be more appropriate and less misogynist to say "some women"many wealthy men have this- its not illegal. Women love money
I don't have to prove anything. It is simply my opinion that a pig like Trump was involved with a pig like Epstein and that involvement included young women.ok I DO have doubts - you're going to have to prove he was involved with Epstein like that

some women yes - and its very very common to see wealthy/famous men with flocks of women around themPerhaps it would be more appropriate and less misogynist to say "some women"
