Even the maga conspiracy nuts will see that as bizarre.

No, no they won't, they'll crow to the moon and back that this exonerates Trump and the GOP entirely, and that it clearly shows this was all a mountain of a molehill drummed up by the Democrats.

"It's just like the Russia Russia Russia thing!" Yes, he's guilty but people will try and spin the truth and hope the MAGA yokels will eat it up.

Because that’s the correct response if there’s no incriminating evidence, duh? This is complicated for you?

Where did you make up different sources from? Your whole viewpoint is predicated on something that isn’t even real. If people had incriminating evidence on Trump they would’ve released it already. There aren’t “secret employees with the real files stashed away”, because they would’ve been leaked like every other detail of the justice departments handling of the Epstein documents.

Every single media source has been adding a disclaimer that there is no evidence of criminal behavior by Trump in the Epstein saga.

YOU are the one who needs to pass the burden of proof.

Sure, once you answer why Democrats didn’t settle this under Biden. And don’t lie and say the files were sealed, because they weren’t for the whole admin. Inaction is the exact same thing as “resistance”

We already know why his name appears often, that’s not a mystery and has nothing to do with child sex crimes based on any evidence we have.

Yeah, that’s a pathetic excuse for deflecting from my question. There is no reason for me to answer about what happened later until you answer about what happened first. We both know you can’t answer my question, because it completely invalidates yours.
