> mostly as a way to defer the release of the Epstein file How many disappointments will it take for people to realize there isn't any more there there than what's already been found? Or are the Epstein files are going to be what the minority party rambles about from now on instead of having a coherent message?

  Should be quite simple to release them and move on then, that will be great.

    But then they can't release them at a convenient time to distract from something much bigger. Which I'm afraid they will, eventually.

  > there isn't any more there there than what's already been found? I thought this until seeing Trump look completely guilty every time it comes up, and the GOP leadership mobilizing to stop the release of the files.

    Democrats could have released yhem already. It would have been bipartisan. They didn't, because there's nothing there and it was better politics to let fringe Republicans obsess about it.

      Democrats were bound by laws. Trump made his whole personality about breaking them.
