The reason I ask is because, we have a government in the USA, who has demonstrated time and time again about how little accountability and responsibility matters to them. We have a “president” who is a convicted felon, has been impeached twice and obviously isn’t serving any level of sentencing whatsoever because we live in a world like that for some reason.
So why should anyone give a shit whether or not the Epstein files are released? I mean it is obvious that Trump has associated with him, it is no doubt that there are other high profile associates too, who are making their actions about how they’re handling this more apparent that their words ever could.
But the point I’m getting to is - why does this shit matter to an administration and particularly Trump when he’s about dodged everything you can throw at him? If he’s apparently immune, his voterbase doesn’t care and there is no sense of honor or anything through this administration. Wouldn’t these files mean next to nothing to him?
I think 47 and his cronies will manage to blame it all on Bill Clinton and sweep the rest under their carpet, along with his conviction in court and the impeachments. It’s a media war. It’s hard to play the game against the reality-tv-schooled incumbent to keep anything in the headlines. He’ll just throw a dead cat on the table and take all the oxygen out of the room, i.e. annex Canada or Greenland, 100% tariffs on everything, ICE jackboots raids, national guard in all cities run by Democrats, any late night tweet while he is constipated. It’s hard to keep anything in the news that is not conning from him. And this story is one of the few with staying power and the potential to be damaging to him before the judiciary has entirely lost its independence and maybe some of his followers rediscover their human decency in the attic. As such it is the only recruitment tool with oomph for Democrats to mobilize opposition to the fascist in chief. And, boy, do they need it!
