(8,191 posts)I do think he could have acted with more expediency in other trump matters.
"Being in the files" is not evidence of a crime. It just tells us that they were friends. Not news to us. News to MAGA. They ignored all the pictures and videos floating around with trump and epstein.
Based on what WSJ revealed last week and this week, none of that is evidence of a crime.
Michael Wolff interviewed Epstein before his death, he talked about his friendship with trump and their disgusting behavior with women. They were hunting women, it was a game to them. Literally. At one point even purposefully sleeping with the same woman. I don't mean at the same time, but they both were knowingly involved with the same woman because it was a game to them.
There's another story about trump having sex with the wife of a friend and calling the friend in the middle of all that so he could hear trump having sex with his wife.
He hasn't sued Wolff, so my guess is all of that is true.
If the information is more of an embarrassment, and not evidence of a crime, then what would be the reason to release anything?
Please note that I am not defending trump, not saying that there is no possibility he could have sexually abused minors. What I am addressing is - Why Garland/Biden did not release " the files" - Perhaps there isn't evidence of crimes. If that is the case, I don't think Biden would have been in favor of exploiting victims for political gain.
trump was already talking about Witch hunt for his actual crimes. No need to add what might have just been salacious details.
I could be wrong and there is evidence of crimes against minors. If so, a lot of folks, not just Garland have a lot of explaining to do.
Going back to Bill Barr and everyone else that worked on the case.
