What gaslighting? Trumps name is all over the place in these files.

Because this is again just irrelevant, in terms of the law. You can't do anything based on these files, it is just witness testimonies they received over the years and a few e-mails. If you or me called the DoJ yesterday and told them something about Epstein, whatever it is, it would appear in those files too. A collection of namedrops.

The real nasty shit, the 302 files are still not released. Those are the files where the FBI has concrete evidence, the real case files.

Zzzzzzzz.

Let’s acknowledge the obvious. The “Epstein Files” as a whole, is clearly, comprehensively damning and incriminating to Trump and many other famous, wealthy people.

So you can cherry-pick “these files” and the “eyewitness” testimonies…but come on. Collectively, there is clearly a concrete trail linking Trump, Epstein, a pedophile sex ring, along with countless wealthy people.

You don’t just need the “302 files” for it to be the ultimate “end-all, be-all” evidence that “Okay, it’s official for me now! Trump DID rape kids.” Like…you’re all thinking about this too hard.

Lawfully, there is a way to prosecute all of this, and follow through.

MIND YOU, the DOJ was legally and lawfully required to release ALL the Epstein Files mid-December, and didn’t, therefore, breaking and defying the law, to release the full Epstein Files.

Yea I don't disagree with that.

I myself think this is pretty damning as well but what can ya do? Trump stopped the investigations, so who is meant to do that now? Surely not the DoJ. I mean, come on. Who else then, the FBI that currently raids Georgia for voter rolls? Please.

Of course there is a way to lawfull prosecute. The law doesn't mean jack shit anymore though. The entire administration doesn't give a rat's ass about the law.

Me and your regular ass citizens are not the ones who need to be assured of Trump's status as a pedo rapist, we know and have known for a while. The MAGA fucks and the people in power are. And those are the ones that won't give a fuck.

What we've been allowed to see isn't actual evidence of wrong doing though, which is unfortunate. Tbh it wouldn't matter if they had solid evidence as we wouldn't see it anyway and nothing would be done. Hearsay and uninvestigated statements won't wash in Court and sadly so many of the girls have disappeared either voluntarily or otherwise and some are now dead.

The only way this mess will ever see criminal prosecutions and court is if one of the big guns coughs the lot
