From photos of former President Bill Clinton to images of strange scrapbooks, the Justice Department's release is curious but far from revelatory.

Was there ever any doubt that they wouldn't comply?

Shocker.

At this point it is safe to say the GOP is the party of pedophiles.

Donald Trump acts the part of a guilty man.

Not hard at all when you start off by being guilty.

Of course Dracula's Daughter missed the deadline to release the Epstein files.

USAG Pam Bondi was enjoying herself immensely on an all-expenses paid vacation to Europe, courtesy of the hardworking American taxpayer, while we are struggling to figure out how to pay for the increases to our monthly health insurance bills.

I wasn't entirely sure, but now I'm convinced...

Donald Trump has sex with kids.

Along with his friends.

In the same room as his friends.

Within sight of his friends.

To be fair, they prolly ran out of black markers to redact Trump's name... they only had a couple of crates of those.

Put Danny Bongino on the case. He has long called for the release of the files and built his reputation at the FBI as the one to expose the truth in the files. Get him on the phone, and off his leash. Uh, what was that you said? He did what? Went where? Really? Did-did he know about this mess? Huh. That's a surprise ...

She should be removed for illegally appointing attorneys who in turn illegally indicted those who Trump perceive to be his enemies.

That is true, however Garland did the same thing with Jack Smith which was a shame because the documents case against Trump was legit. That's the problem with a precedent being set.

I just post news items being reported.

Like this one:

economictimes.indiatimes.com

The 'half-naked girls' phrase is used because that's been the testimony of Michael Wolff; that Epstein showed him such Polaroid photos.

It was. Then he was elected, so it could no longer be pursued. Truly a shame.

I NEVER called that case lawfare. I've always maintained it was legit. As soon as I saw the evidence it was clearly legit. The other cases? Yeah, to varying degrees except for the E Jean Carrol defamation case.

Dems: "If Clinton is in the files, arrest him."

MAGAts like Jeff: "There is no evidence Donald did anything wrong. If there is evidence, it's fake. If it's not fake and he is a pedophile rapist... You said Pedo! *Drink*"

Your dumb partisan dodge becomes even more worthless the moment your Daddy Trump authorizes a full release of the Epstein files. That's what "the libs" are asking to occur. No one, except maybe Bill Clinton and a few of his friends, gives two rips about what kind of trouble he may find himself in from this. You, on the other hand? You're just covering for Daddy Trump.

Shut the eff up, clowns. I don't give a rip if these files implicate Trump in some way. He's a jagoff and deserves what he gets if evidence shows what you are all convinced of.

And, he and his people revived what was a dead issue. So, in a sense he's brought this on himself.

Fact is, none of you gave a crap about this until you thought that maybe, just maybe, it could be used for partisan reasons. Nobody on the left was talking about this during Biden's term and nobody on the left was demanding release of these files.

Yes, release the damn files. Let the chips fall.

If Trump goes down as a result, so be it. Clinton is no longer politically valuable to you all so he can be discarded. If he still had value you partisan hacks would be fighting release of these files tooth and nail.

No, I voted for GWB in 2000. I usually vote third party or independent, but I voted for both Biden and Harris because only a complete degenerate would vote for Trump, even once.
