It’s very clear the current US administration and Congress won’t release anything or investigate anything—nobody here has said anything different. Although the comment about “amazing bluster” from Trump is lol. Who cares about Parliament’s motives if they get it done. |
I think the files weren’t released under Biden because there’s something in there that’s really bad for Democrats/ our government in general. I think Trump genuinely thought he was going to release the info, until he got into office, saw whatever “bad stuff” is in there and realized he couldn’t release it - it’s too damaging for either our government as a whole or too damaging for someone even more powerful than Trump. |
If that's true, it's even more reason the information needs to be made public. |
This was overall good. Wish that he had watched his tongue when he referred to a security guard as the “black” security guard. Showing his age and a bit of racism. |
Come back when Labour takes it up. Lib Dems aren’t going to get anything done. |

We know both Clinton and trump (and Melania) were involved, trump with the most involvement, so it makes sense in trumps head to deflect and deny, and blame. Don't try to make sense of a fools mind.
I doubt Biden would protect Clinton, so I’m not sure what the motivator would be there. |
Wealthy Democrat donors are on the list? This isn’t really that hard to figure out. |
I’ve got to believe all the tech billionaires Trump paraded during his inauguration are involved. Why else would they pander to him? He’s got dirt on them. |
They donate to everyone to hedge their bets. |
| While I support releasing the files, I think it is really complicated. Because you went to Epstein Island doesn't mean you participated in the illegal activities. Epstein was known for having scientific conferences and the like on the island - or so he claimed. Steven Hawking was apparently at a few. |
Probably only in a certain person's head. Melania? There's an interview with Trump from 2015 before he ran the first time when he said HRC's biggest liability was Bill and his connections to Epstein. Trump has talked about Epstein on off, he's never clammed up the way you would expect of someone guilty. It's pretty clear Trump and Epstein did have social friendship and like plenty of men do when women aren't around, would be lewd and vulgar and joking with each other. Most men indulge in this behavior when with their good buddies, although I'm sure the degrees vary. But it doesn't mean there was anything more to it. Given that multiple administrations from both parties have sat on the files I do agree with the PP who suggested it's to protect someone or something. Look at Trump, his administration was all for it till they actually got the files, and the behavior of everyone from Trump down is one of "oh sh...t" But who would be protected by both Trump and Biden? I used to scoff at the notion of a certain country in the ME using Epstein to entrap people and blackmailing them to benefit that country's policies. It was ridiculous and antisemitic. Or so I thought. But I actually can see that happening, and process of elimination tells me there cannot be anyone in US politics who needs to be protected by both parties. Not even Bill Clinton. So are they protecting someone outside the US? I hate going down this path because of what the public reaction would mean. But it does seem a bit more plausible than it was when I first heard the rumor. And you can see both Biden and Trump realizing they need to stop this from being publicly acknowledged. Especially in the last two years. Or maybe it really is just a bunch of rich donors to both parties. |
You keep drinking the Kool-aid. DJT was thick with Epstein--you see the pictures and what he wrote in the birthday book. Trump is the one who stands to lose the most if those files get released as a sitting President. That's why our country is at a standstill and it's not because of the Brits. |
+100. We’ve all seen the pictures of Trump and Epstein and heard the stories about the pair judging girls for a calendar and the rest of their creepy friendship. Trump probably thought nobody would remember his campaign promises to release the files—oops. |
I feel sad for whoever wrote this. Who's that "someone even more powerful than Trump" in the US? There's nobody more powerful than him here. And why would Trump, who only cares about himself, want to protect them? Trump would obviously luuurve the chance to take down even more of the US government. And it's hard to imagine anyone internationally that Trump would want to protect, either. He'd love for Macron or tech execs to go down. Maybe he'd want to protect the Pope or King Charles because he sucks up to monarchy, but it's laughable to think either of them were on the Lolita Express. This hypothesis is silly. No, obviously Trump learned what's in the files and he wants to protect himself. |
| Epstein & Melania were lovers before she was with Trump? |
