What's holding up the release of those files Bomdi said were ready to be splashed out months and months ago?

Trump could release those files today.
He said he would.
But now he won't.
Why?

Dementia Don and his buddies raped children.

Why?

Because releasing those names and the ensuing investigations will ruin the lives, careers and possibly marriages of some very wealthy donors that Trump needs to finance his future dictatorship.

Not to mention a few congress critters.

If the kiddy-diddlers are exposed, they'll turn on Trump like a pack of angry sewer rats.

Count on it.

Perhaps for all the reasons Twinpac listed but also for the attention. He loves the attention.

These files have become the biggest head fake in history.

Trump won't release them because.........there's a lot in those files

Trump says he'll release them because.........there's nothing in those files.

The conclusion has already been written. the files reveal proof of kiddie diddling and proof of who did it. The diddlers are trump and his friends.

Anything short of that already written conclusion won't be accepted.

Oh please.....if there is only 1 poster on this site who is not invested into the outcome of these files, it's me.

I'm not insisting what's in them and I'm not insisting on what's not in them.

I'm just going to have fun with the huddles masses who are screaming for their dinner.....

Can't argue with that!
You don't give two ----- if Trump rapes fifteen year old girls.
According to you, nobody does.

Are we having fun yet?

I was specifically talking about the files......not the actual crimes, dumfuq.

you're so desperate to sniff my ass, it's embarrasing......if you had any pride in the first place.

ready to go back in the box, toyboy?

Oh I see.
It's not you don't care if Trump rapes fifteen year old girls.
It's that you don't care if the Epstein Files show Trump rapes fifteen year old girls.
Such a fine distinction, forgive me not seeing the actual difference on the first pass.

P.S. What's the actual difference?

If Trump is successful at one thing, it's turning posters on this site away from the topic and sniping at each other.

Shame.

It's that I think those files aren't going to be evidence of anything. I don't trust Trump nor our system to leave the real evidence in them.

I have no trouble believing Trump is a POS pedo. I have no trouble believing Epstein invited all sorts of similar monsters to his place and those evils took place.

I just don't believe you're going to see hard evidence of it in those files.

It's just my opinion.......I trust nobody to deliver the truth.

Now....back in the box little fella.

Before Trump appointed him, he had this to say, "Folks, the Epstein client list is a huge deal ... there's a reason they're hiding it...it is going to rock the political world."

Sounds like he's already told us given us the reason for why he's now engaging in a coverup.

Then what's the point, from either administration, of hiding the files?

embarrassment. Having it be known that this person or that person visited the island.

It's not proof of any criminal acts necessarily.......but information they'd prefer stay hidden.

Again....just my 2 cents.

I dunno. The flight logs have already been heavily publicized. If there's only proof that someone like Bill Clinton flew on Epstein's plane, I would think someone like Clinton would want that corroborated further.

Trump, even as senescent as he is, thrashes around to distract from his association with Epstein.
Lately, he's even taken to falling asleep in public, hoping that might quell the insatiable demands of his inner demons.
It's lost on him, of course, but his spiraling decline really is loaded with all manner of literary themes.
Historians are going to think they died and went to heaven.

Former Israeli PM Ehud Barak visited Epstein's townhouse and island (without his Shin Bet PSD): static-cdn.toi-media.com

The nefarious network in the FBI Epstein files already de-royalized Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who is now being slowly pauperized and humiliated in the UK: www.bbc.com

There are a lot of vulnerable elites and entities that don't want to be exposed.

So another thread missing DR righties.

I don't see Boaz, OneIronNut, Jeff "Pedo Lover" Bellringer, or LeftHandTurds in here...

Just like everyone else in this farce-of-a-clown-car-of-a-dumpster-fire of an administration, Vagino had no business even walking near the building, much less being hired for this position.

I prayed in November 2024 the nation would survive th pending disaster, but now it is not a question of IF the nation will crumble, but WHEN.
The only thing that could maybe save us is Trump's death from stroke or MI, which may well happen by 2027 but be too late for the country.

Sycophant:

it's so hard to defend this turd of an administration, even those clowns are finding it tough to come up with deflections and talking points.
