    If Trump was on the Epstein files in a way that they could have used to prosecute him, the Democrats would have released the files related to Trump and redacted anything else.

    The Democrats spent 8 years digging through Trump’s life looking for anything they could have prosecuted him for but somehow overlooked the Epstein files?

    I don’t think so.

      It’s not just Trump in the Trumpstein files. There is international pressure to keep a lid on this (UK royal family and Israel, who knows who else is involved). There are thousands of deposits of over a billion dollars to Epstein, Trump is one of many.

      The most powerful and concerned about these records are unlikely to even be public figures, we’re talking real money and not the political circus clown show.

      Also, much of it was sealed for years (and much more remains sealed)

        And? They wouldn’t have to release everything. They could selectively release the files Trump was on, and redact anything not Trump related, then take him to trial.

        It would have been a slam dunk and considering the absurdly crooked and corrupt Engoron and Merchan trials, it’s obvious they actually had nothing on Trump.
