Great do Epstein next

I think the desire to keep that stuff quiet is bipartisan because loads of people from both parties are exposed, as well as too many wealthy people.

Now that we also have P-Diddy it makes me wonder just how many high class sleazy pimps with blackmail operations are operating at a given time. This must be a standard racket.

I am sure it makes some TLA look bad. I fully expect to not have everything released.

The FBI. The FBI was out for MLK. In his first term Trump liked the FBI so he allowed them to redact the JFK files he was legally supposed to release to the public. But in 2025 they’re his bogey man so releasing it so Kash Patel has an even easier time remolding it in his image makes a lot of sense.

Yeah, I mean. Given what is known about the FBI and MLK how much worse could it get?

Fun fact: there is a statue of MLK at the FBI academy in Quantico.

Surely nobody sees this as a bad thing. It’s been a bit since these events happened.

During his first term, Trump was the one who stopped all the records from being released automatically. This is his MO, to claim as victory something that would have happened without him opening his mouth in the first place.

It should be bipartisan at this point to demand the release. If it makes everyone in office look bad then all the better!

Because a ton of people in office were his "clients". This country is rotten

Reading the Epstein saga start to finish has been instructive as to how power works in this country.

I previously had not understood it.
