In the grand scheme of things, the Epstein “files” are way down the list of important, practical issues. Yes, some in the Trump circle hyped this up too much but I never thought there was anything really newsworthy since as noted before the names of people allegedly involved has been known for sometime (see reference to Epstein’s Rolodex, we already know who went to the island).
This tweet and the others in the thread provide one explanation for why there’s nothing there -
“Anyone who rapes kids deserves the death penalty.
Here's the problem with the Eipstein mess:
The FBI doesn't have the evidence many thought it did.
There are not tapes with powerful men raping kids.
There is not a list.
(Eipstein's rolodex is already public.)
And the file is largely unreleasable, for many reasons including:
1. Grand-jury materials
2. Court records under seal
3. Child pornography
4. Protection of victims
5. Unsubstantiated, even double- or triple-hearsay, bogus claims (like we saw during the Kavanaugh proceedings), which would permanently destroy the reputation of innocent people if released
Does anyone really believe Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, or Dan Bongino would cover up for the likes of Bill Clinton or Bill Gates--if they had that evidence?
The Trump Justice Department wanted to be fully transparent. But it can't, for the reasons above. This is a case of no good deed goes unpunished.
This is no doubt unsatisfying to many. But that's the hard truth.”
