There are some things that I don't get with the release or non-release of the Epstein files. They say they aren't releasing some to protect the victims, but releasing them would be the only way those victims would have any chance of justice. Not releasing them is just protecting the perpetrators. But, even if they are released, what makes anyone think that it is truly all of them? Why would a government keep incriminating evidence of itself?
Trump is guilty.
Evidence or not, in my head, the dude just isn't a good person by any stretch of the imagination. I find him pretty much disgusting and the way he speaks and insults people to negotiate is very immature. I don't mean that it is childish, but his techniques are basic.

What the fuck kind of comment is that? Perhaps it speaks to his follower base? But if you read that in a novel or as a line in a movie, you'd say; The dialogue sucks. Yet people see him as a master negotiator? What does that say about the people he is negotiating against then, if that shit works?
My daughter wouldn't fall for that nonsense.
But when it comes to all of this Epstein shit, it should have all been released from the start, with victims names redacted to begin with, with all suspected perpetrators formally charged, and then taken off to court to defend themselves. No matter who they are. The victims could also then choose to have their names unredacted to give weight to the cases, and they could all write books as individuals or as a collective, naming everyone they believed abused them and when they believe they were abused. Then, let the internet workout whether it was possible, by looking at where people were and when they were there. Look at flight records, and credit card transactions, and whatever else investigative work the police are meant to be doing. Yet, after all this time and so many supposed victims, how many people have the police arrested in connection?
Just imagine how many politicians and celebrities would be named.
Too messy?
Fuck that. These people are potential paedos and sex offenders. If they are guilty, don't they deserve to at least go into the prison system for their actions? They lock up people for smoking a joint, but let paedophiles and rapists walk free. It is nonsensical.
Trust in government globally has eroded and conspiracy theories have exploded, because let's be honest, governments can't be trusted. If any group should be held accountable and be transparent, it should be the government, right? "We the people" should be able to cross-check and validate nearly everything they do, unless perhaps it is in the tactical defence of the country. But if Epstein's files are being withheld due to risk to the country, what does that say about what is in them?
If it is just a bunch of politicians and celebrities that get proven guilty of disgusting behaviour (remember there are supposedly many videos that were recorded also) and lose their self-entitled freedoms, then it is in the public's interest to know who these sickos are and see them punished. It doesn't matter if they are former or serving presidents, it doesn't matter if they are speaker of the house, or your favourite actor - if guilty, they should be punished in the same way as everyone else in the country would be for doing similar.
No one is above the law?
It seems, hundreds, maybe thousands are. And that is just those protected by the non-release of the full set of files in this particular case. All the people abused at a Diddy party, they should name and shame their perpetrators too - so why don't they? Is it too traumatic, have the been paid to keep silent, did they benefit in their career for being part of it?
I don't know, but if the governments around the world want to regain the trust of their constituents, then they are going to have to stop obviously hiding shit from the people they are meant to be serving. They need to open up their mess, air out the conspiracies and *prove they aren't true, if that is what the government is saying. The governments should be in the court of the people and defending themselves with evidence and openness.
If they aren't guilty, why are they hiding the information?
I have very, very low trust in the media and corporations.
And even less in the governments.
And there is very little evidence provided to convince me otherwise.
