just release all the files - Biden & Democrats had control for 4 years

and if Trump was in them bad, all that would have come out

simple
Oh I see, this is why. You want to make it some narrative about Biden.

Look it's not "that simple." Biden was notoriously averse to going after a political opponent with the DOJ and Garland was practically terrified to. Add to that everyone suspects other powerful people such as Clinton and Prince Andrew are also in there a fair bit and there was really no interest in publicizing the contents. We all get that.

But it is Convicted Felon Donald TRUMP who made it a campaign issue and HIS own AG who said she was reviewing the files. It was TRUMP who got MAGA's hopes up that he'd release the files then backtracked spectacularly and it's TRUMP who is now in a tailspin flailing about for distractions.

You keep sealioning the Biden angle - why didn't they releae the files in 4 years,blah blah blah? Unless you have a better reason, they didn't want to make it an issue.

But the question of how we got to where we are now is because Convicted Felon Donald Trump DID want to make it an issue and it blew up in his face. He only has himself to blame.
 
I can only speculate. If there's anything in Maxwell case files it hasn't been released. Why?

questions I asked the entire 4 years of Biden's presidency

its called comparisons - if what liberals are asking of Trump today is valid, why didn't they demand it of Biden for 4 years ?

you know it, I know it

Don't play dumb. Trump talked it up and suggested he'd release the files. After winning his AG suggested the same. Then a sudden about face and "what files?" Makes him look like he's hiding something. He did this to himself by reviving the hype in the first place.

Now you want to argue that Biden would have released the files indicates there's nothing much in there? He was notoriously squeamish about fighting dirty, still let's say that's the case. What's the flipside? Well, Trump's flapping, changing excuses and sudden refusal all strongly suggest there IS something in there. Take your pick but I'll go with Occam's razor.

And even if there's no more than we've already seen its deeply embarrassing for Trump. He hung out with the guy, sleazed on women together, talked like he knew what was going on behind closed doors and the receipts are all there for us to chuckle at.

That alone is priceless and you can't run from it or hide behind whataboutisms.

so you don't have a link to prove what you said "Donald TRUMP who made it a campaign issue"

you said that because liberal media has said it and you're just repeating it

Of course not. Don't play dumb. I don't indulge semantic games. It doesn't have to be in his official platform to be an issue. I certainly never claimed if was on his official list of policies.

But his words matter. He spoke about on campaign (or shortly after winning doesn't much matter), getting his followers hopes up about it. Said he'd be open to releasing the files. Now he's chickened out. He did this to himself.

Now aside from "whatabout Biden" and 7th grade semantics, have you got a reason you think Trump suddenly doesn't want to release the Epstein files?

you were wrong - you regurgitated what liberal media says in an effort to paint a picture of something that wasn't true and you got caught
 
You think ol' Dano has been muzzled and put back into his place after having a crisis of conscience a few weeks ago?
He hasn't said anything in public lately that I know of.

Whatever crisis he had, it didn't involve any sort of conscience. I'd guess it involved someone high up telling him to sit down and shut the f*** up.

:ROFLMAO: More than likely.

I know I'm in the minority, but I think Dan really believed the stuff he sputtered into his microphone on radio and in his podcasts...that Democrats were the root of all evil and Trump and his posse would bring them to justice.

...surprise!

He's on tape talking it up. Whether it's on his platform or he made an off the cuff gesture it still became an issue he ran on.

That seems to chap your ass. In fact the inescapable fact of Trump and Epstein's relationship, however shallow or deep it ran, seems to hurt your ego personally - to the point you reduce your argument to cheap word games and lame-ass gotcha attempts. And fail.

Trump made Epstein an issue. Now it has come back to bite him. He shouldn't have run on it; you can't run from it.

no, I just call liberal media lies when I see them

Trump didn't campaign on Epstein - that's a liberal media lie

we've known for years Trump and his family flew together on Epstein flights a few times before the island was ever bought. Bill Clinton, David Copperfield, Al Gore ... Stephen Hawking ... they did too

Biden and Democrats had 4 years to make something out of this ... they couldn't because there is nothing. The lying liberal media is bringing it all up and people like you re repeating it as part of a smear campaign/hate/division

you've bought into it hook, line and sinker and when this fails? they'll put something else up and you'll bite hard on it too, over and over and over it'll go
 
Epstein Poll - Aug 1st, 2025 - Do You Think Trump is Trying to Cover Something Up?

It's been a few weeks since the DOJ and FBI officially declare no "client list" exists and let it be known that there would be no further document releases.

On July 8th I posted the following poll:


"Do you believe Epstein had no "client list," and died by suicide?"

"Yes" got 3 votes

And "No" got 56 votes

Since then the following has happened (in no particular order):
  • WSJ reported that Trump signed a "bawdy" 2003 birthday note to Epstein, concluding: "May every day be another wonderful secret."
  • Trump sued WSJ and Trump's legal team requests an expedited deposition of Rupert Murdoch.
  • The DOJ abruptly fired prosecutor Maurene Comey, who led Maxwell/Epstein case prosecutions.
  • A federal judge in Florida denied the DOJ’s disingenuous motion to unseal Epstein‐era grand jury transcripts.
  • House Oversight voted to subpoena DOJ Epstein files.
  • The WSJ reported Pam Bondi privately told Trump in May his name appears in the files.
  • Bloomberg reported that an FBI FOIA team redacted Trump’s name (and other public figures) from Epstein records.
  • Trump publicly complained that Epstein "stole" Mar‑a‑Lago spa staff, and specifically references Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein's victims.
  • Trump's former defense attorney, now Deputy AG Todd Blanche, met privately with Ghislaine Maxwell over two days and offered limited immunity to encourage her cooperation.
  • Trump declared he's "allowed" to pardon Maxwell.
  • Ghislaine Maxwell was quietly transferred from Tallahassee to a minimum‑security federal camp in Texas. To do so someone in the government had to waive her status as a sex offender.
Since the first poll was conducted on July 8th, how has your position changed? Do you still have some suspicion that something is not right, or that Trump or members of his administration may even be trying to cover something up? For example, do you still believe Epstein had no "client list," and died by suicide?

What do you think about the Epstein stuff now?

If I forgot anything from the list above, respond to the thread letting everyone know.
just another Lefty throw BS against a wall and hope something sticks. Your bullets are so soft they could have come out of a squirt gone.

I wasn't friends with Epstein...Trump was.
 
Why don't you go do a Time line on the epstien case !
See who sat on it, hid it, covered it up, and or tried to make it go away!

Now REALIZE that it is ONLY coming out NOW under Trump and his DoJ&FBI !
I think you mean it is NOT coming out now under trump.
Not Obama, Not Biden .....
Do you not see how Bass Ackwards you're premise is ?

Now you're just sulking. At first I thought you were just carrying water for President Pedophile. Little did I know they were bucketfuls of your own tears...🤣
 
In answer to the OP thread question, no I don't think Trump is trying to cover up anything. IMO he simply doesn't care about the Epstein situation, since he expelled the man from his properties and person years prior to his even running.

I think Trump considers this whole issue as a Democrat effort at distraction from Trump's plans to improve the USA both socially and economically. Unfortunately for him, the media (which practically ignored the whole issue under the Biden Administration) is now trying to make this a focus in order to stop or at least slow down Trump's momentum.

Since it has become a "big deal" Trump has instructed the DOJ to do whatever necessary to provide the information available on Epstein so the government can get back on track working on REAL issues.

Um NO!
Go look in to why the Clinton's are being subpoenaed!

Are you saying trump has released the Epstein files? If so I missed it. We both know the Clinton subpoenas are just a delaying tactic.
