If Bondi had not violated the law by massive redactions, we would also have the narrative explaining these 5,300 Trump mentions.

As it is, I'm amazed and appalled at what slipped through about the man: His personal rape of girls; his threats to murder the girls if they went for help, and their families.

Trump is a pedophile. I have zero doubts about this.

That goes with being a psychopath.

The man needs a hockey mask.

All that "Pee Tape" stuff is starting to look pretty mild, isn't it?

I'm still willing to bet that it exists.

Remember when I used to take the piss out of you guys for obsessing over the number of lies Trump has told? You're doing it again. This is how he pwns you, and you keep falling for it again and again, just like Charlie Brown.

So, from Jan 2021 to Jan 2025, nobody in the Biden administration could find what the NYT found with a word search.

What's the excuse? These records didn't exist until Feb 2025?

I'm curious: how many times were Obama and Biden mentioned in the Epstein Files, and in what context? If none, perhaps the MAGAs in the crowd will point to that as either a cover-up, or indication that neither former president ran with the cool kids?

What do YOU believe that the Biden administration should have gone with that knowledge?

Are you saying they should have charged Trump?

Are you saying they should have leaked the information to try to embarrass him and hurt him politically?

The fact that the Biden administration was unwilling to weaponize the justice system against their political opponents only proves that they are better people than pretty much all conservatives. What it does not do is prove that Trump is not a pedophile.

I wonder how it compares to the number of times MacGruber appears in the files.
