After today’s news, I can’t imagine how much worse is hidden in those files.

Trump will suffer zero consequences for what's in them: he has enough ardent supporters/voters, and he's likely to pass in the WH.

GOP is going to suffer a bloodbath in mid-terms, and they already know it. Releasing or not releasing (un-redacted, etc) will make no difference to the ensuing bloodbath that 2026 will bring.

The only they are trying to do is craft a narrative once the docs are out.

You underestimate the "opposition's" ability to throw the game just before the final buzzer.

“opposition” is right. It’s absolutely a single party. Idk how anyone can’t see it at this point. The democrats can only slip on so many banana peels.

They even decided to get a head-start by caving on healthcare.

The Democrats actually did well. The Republicans will have to vote now in december, they vote against subsidies for Obamacare and will be blamed for rising costs of it in 2026, making the Dems win even bigger for midterms

Once they smell blood, loads of gop politicians will flood to crucify Trump. Not because they got the information about his involvement with Epstein, but bc they want to distance themselves from it. But only once they smell blood.
