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.

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.

This is not being "unwilling to weaponize the justice system against their political opponents". This is failing to go after the worst of the worst.

The Biden administration, in its idiotic focus on trying to make things seem "normal" again, engaged in dereliction of duty to the extent that it has a high potential of destroying our democracy.

This mess goes back several administrations.

In all the voluminous research into Trump's life and behavior, is anyone aware of anything good being discovered?

#11 | Posted by Zed at 2026-02-02 08:48 AM | Reply

8: Wait? It's weaponization to enforce the law?

Trump was prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced.

Is the State the only ones allowed to enforce law?

Scream from the rooftops! The Trump administration is hiding what the Biden administration was hiding!!

But, but, the records are sealed under Grand Jury...

Not yet, anyway. At least nothing legally chargeable against Trump ~ which is really what the Oversite Committee is looking for.

As for why Biden didn't take any action, I recall there was a report that President Biden decided that too many lives would be ruined.

At the time it was enough to just get rid of Trump.

Which, incidentally, is still the same problem.

Too many lives would be ruined.

Sounds like the JFK files that are still redacted 50+ years later.

Why is the DC Madam's files still redacted.

In hindsight I guess we wouldn't be in this position now if Biden hadn't been such a humanitarian.

For people who claim they've nothing to hide, Trump and his regime's enablers sure are devoting an extraordinary amount of time and energy to covering up as much of what's in those files as they possibly can.

That and the moneybag billionaires he likes to hobnob with are putting pressure on him to keep their names and (hint, hint) "extracurricular activities" ~~ a forever secret.

Not just the law but wives and divorce courts could play havoc with their billionaire bank accounts.

You are simply wrong.
Biden' didn't do ---- to block the release of the Epstein Files.
Because Congress hadn't yet passed the law ordering their release.

E1G1 apparently thinks committing murder is no different than having your name mentioned in a document or trolling people with lies.

Even one murder or rape is unacceptable. Do you realize how ------- inane it is to sit around and count the number of times an allegation has been referenced?

This is a classic. They tried to jail him, bankrupt him and when that didn't work they tried to kill him. I know Dems are really stupid but if Trump was on the island would that have been a lot easier way to get him out of the race?

So you're saying there is proof that he was on the island with underage girls? In that case show it.
If you paid attention to this last batch of emails Epstein was plotting to get Trump out of office, not something he would do for a true friend is it? Meanwhile Clinton is shown naked in a hot tube with an underage girl. Where is your outrage?

If the full an unexpurgated Epstein Files were released, the anybody could search for any name.

That was the entire point of the Epstein Law.

Of course, further proof for Trump being a pimp and a rapist would emerge.

I'll take that bet.

But what you SHOULD be interested in are the names of the people at the NYT who were buddies with FDT's best friend.

We already know that Bill Gates and Noam Chomsky are in them, sounds to me like you're one of those people who don't read and have to wait for the talking points to come around before you cherry pick which ones you'll use to defend FDT.

Lol.

Can't face the fact the Biden administration did nothing.

Maxwell's case does not prevent prosecution of other people.

What a farce. With this thinkimg,you can't prosecute more than one person at a time.

Why Trump under all his admins had no clue how many documents were out there - and you'd think Donald J. "I am your retribution" Trump would be all over this! We'd see no end to the Democrats names and pictures being released!

The courts can't lock up evidence from being used in other prosecutions.

You are a fool defending the prior administration.

It's not one prosecution at a time.

Are you that stupid?

Who's flailing? Stop defending Bidens admin or anyone else.
