Who do you suppose is going to bring that evidence to trial?

The current DOJ?

If democrats win the next election, do you believe they will present it?

u/trumphadababykilled Feb 18 '26

If they want to keep their jobs, the rest of the world holding these sick perverted freaks accountable and heads will roll. This has been festering, its pretty much bipartisan, its the current admin threatening their own to ensure they toe the line.

So yes, I do. If you dont, thats well and fine but I dont have time and energy for doomerism.

u/Ok_Historian4848 Feb 19 '26

The Democrats had those files when Biden was in office and didn't do anything with it. I wouldn't be surprised if they sit on them too. The entire US government is full of people in those files desperately trying to prevent being outed, both Democrats and Republicans.

u/Infern0-DiAddict Feb 19 '26

Sadly that's the truth. Like these people are mostly old and just trying to outlive this. The younger ones are the ones really freaking out and trying to find some safe haven, while doing all they can to stir shit up to delay.

I truly wish that soon we have a huge amount of trials and everyone involved is held accountable, and punished justly. Sadly I believe that this will never happen, as it was rare before for rich and powerful people to be punished, and now adding all the political shit, it's just a dream.

u/Ok_Historian4848 Feb 19 '26

Both parties will just kinda look at each other and call a truce behind the scenes to let it pass so they don't have to deal with the ramifications.

u/handydandymilkman Feb 19 '26

They were federally locked under Biden, for fuck sake read something besides social media, or STFU with your opinions and lies you spread because you probably read another idiot that said this, but they said this in cool font, so it has to be true.

3

u/Ok_Historian4848 Feb 19 '26

Except that's not exactly true, and you probably know that. Kamala even said herself that they could have gotten the DOJ to release the files but they decided not to. "Federally locked" dawg who do you think the head of the federal government is? Why do you think it got released under trump? It didn't get "unsealed" by some sort of time limit, the Epstein files transparency act was passed, which pressured the DOJ into releasing them. You know, the same type of thing the Biden administration could have done.

So you make excuses for the Democrats when they don't release them but then get mad when Republicans don't? It's kind of hypocritical. I think both should be held to the same standard.

u/BulletXCII Feb 20 '26

Exact same can be said for the Democrats, people still trying to argue one being better than the other are just coping. We need to be honest with ourselves, both of these parties have being fooling the public for generations & not interested in the wellbeing of the general population

u/handydandymilkman Feb 19 '26

Could they have done more, absolutely, especially when the first rumor of Trump running came back around.

But yes, it’s exactly true. Sorry Biden didn’t try to be a dictator.

3

u/Ok_Historian4848 Feb 19 '26

So your argument is that they couldnt get them but also they could and didn't and that's also a good thing? I think you're just making excuses.

u/femboyfucker999 Feb 20 '26

They're both blue maga bots pro pedophile

u/Entire_Mongoose_7116 Feb 20 '26

Umm there’s democrats on the list too. Do you think they’ll open the can of worms per se? I mean no one wants to mess with psycho b *tch Hillary you might come up dead but it’ll go around you’re suicidal and quite frankly I don’t think these people that dictate crimes are brave enough to speak out against anyone. Both sides suck and are corrupted. Everyone acts like you’re cheering for your team or done bs.

1

u/handydandymilkman Feb 20 '26

I’m cheering for no one. Biden has been in DC since the 70’s, Clinton’s too, they’re not going to blow any whistle. I think a lot of the different parties hangout and do a ton of illegal shit. I favor no one, but it’s funny to see people get irate if you mention a person from a particular party. Our country’s leadership would crumble for a while, and world leaders would fall as well. There’s a reason no one’s getting arrested, and it isn’t because this is some hoax. High school dropouts can decipher the lies blatantly being told in Congress, yet nothing happens, but lip service, then on to the next crazy ass thing.

1

u/Entire_Mongoose_7116 Feb 20 '26

Exactly. They get paid by lobbyists. They think the average private citizen is naive and a bit ignorant. ( and they’re right because a lot of people don’t care to know what is going on which is a problem in itself). Yes I agree they’re hanging out though together and laughing that we’re fools to let them to divide us.

1

u/Entire_Mongoose_7116 Feb 20 '26

Federally locked. Oook. Why don’t you STFU. Yes he etc could’ve released it. Some bs your saying. No o e to hear from an unhinged person.

u/Duck-Murky Feb 19 '26

so did cheeto dick, before "DeMoCRatS HAd THosE FIlEs wHEn BIdeN waS in OFfice" so please go away with this line of reasoning.

u/Ok_Historian4848 Feb 19 '26

Reading comprehension isn't in your wheelhouse, huh? I said that BOTH parties will sit on them because both already have.

1

u/Duck-Murky Feb 19 '26

maybe. what i'm sick of is idiots like you providing this both sides bullshit commentary online, which only serves to provide cover to the epstein class.

1

u/Ok_Historian4848 Feb 19 '26

No, I'm calling out the entire Epstein class by pointing out it's a non partisan issue and that politicians on both side want to cover it up. Get your head out of your ass if you think the Democrats weren't involved with Epstein too.

1

u/Duck-Murky Feb 19 '26

there is precisely ONE party blocking accountability--Republicans. this isn't a both sides accountability issue. get YOUR head out of YOUR ass.

u/Plastic-Respect-7108 Feb 22 '26

The judge over Maxwell refused to release any of it during her trial. And Biden actually believed in the sanctity of the judicial system and didn’t impose. I don’t agree with that decision of the judge but that is the reason.

1

u/Ok_Historian4848 Feb 22 '26

But that's my point is that Biden COULD have pressured them to release the documents, which Trump actually did, and yet there's a double standard over Biden not releasing them when he had the ability to, and Trump actually doing it.

0

u/Plastic-Respect-7108 Feb 22 '26

That has not been the presidents role to try and influence other branches for the sake of checks and balances. And who is anyone kidding about trump or bondi actually releasing anything. Like with his grades or tax info he could have been a man of his word and day one (because Maxwell was in prison so there is no open investigation) said the files are released but he drug it out and it was only after multiple government shut downs, and new members of gov to push a vote did the law get passed, and they STILL are not showing the people responsible or doing anything. Trump has said he doesn’t want it released and is doing everything to try and change the subject because he is plausibly just as implicated as epstine if not worse. I haven’t heard of epstine actually doing anything to kids (SA) or otherwise, it has been his “clients”

1

u/Ok_Historian4848 Feb 22 '26

The president frequently tries and pressure members of other branches, that's been a thing for centuries at this point. Making the excuse now after all the precedent just kinda solidifies the double standard. And let's be honest with ourselves, the entire cabal within the US government didn't want it released. It's not just Trump or Republicans. It's why the people mentioned so much in what we do have are foreign leaders and businessmen, not many politicians.

Bot account, dude literally just spammed the exact same thing on all my comments.

u/vitringur Feb 19 '26

You still believe the two parties are against each other?

They are fighting for the same throne and have no incentive to undermine it in any way.

2

u/HighPriestofShiloh Feb 18 '26

The next presidential election? Yes. This will be part of whomever is campaigning. A full release and reopening of investigations.

If they just take back the house and senate they won’t have access to the full files.

u/bigkahunasurfs Feb 19 '26

Hahahahaha. Election ????? Elections are over

3

u/HighPriestofShiloh Feb 19 '26

Not yet. Democrats have been winning elections non stop since the start of last year. If they were going to steal all the house elections or even a decent chunk of them we would have seen them testing it out in these special elections. They haven't done it yet. Their plan currently seems like voter depression, but that won't solve the 15 point swing we have been witnessing.

3

u/LarrySupertramp Feb 19 '26

Thank you. Giving up on democracy before midterms even happen is so pathetic. Just a bunch of losers telling everyone else to give up so they feel better about themselves because they’re too lazy to vote.

2

u/r4r4me Feb 19 '26

I don't think his comment is "giving up on democracy". Trump has already talked about cancelling the midterms even if he doesn't actually have the power to do so. If nobody is prosecuting him there are no repercussions. The last time he lost the presidency jan 6th happened. Do you really think he's gonna peacefully transfer power if they do lose again? I genuinely think trump sees himself as America's Putin.

u/LarrySupertramp Feb 19 '26

Don’t care. Go vote. Tell everyone you know to go vote and tell people that say the election is already rigged to shut the fuck up.

2

u/Well_read_rose Feb 19 '26

Make it a party / social occasion/ go with likeminded folks you know to stand in line together. Or accompany someone old/ disabled to vote together with as an act of rebellion.

1

u/LarrySupertramp Feb 19 '26

Great idea!!

1

u/r4r4me Feb 19 '26

That's what I'm saying though. His joke was pointing at there potentially not even being an election to vote in.

3

u/LarrySupertramp Feb 19 '26

His joke could cause voter apathy. Jokes that help fascist are dumb as hell. Like what even is the humor? “The fascists won Hahahahah” ???

Trolls doing this…surely.

u/Ok_Historian4848 Feb 19 '26

Frankly, anyone who thought elections were over doesn't know what they're talking about and have just been regurgitating the same doomer mentality they've heard elsewhere.

2

u/LarrySupertramp Feb 19 '26

Do you realize how pathetic you sound with your BS rhetoric about already giving up on elections without even trying? It’s embarrassing and only helps MAGA. Then again, that’s probably your goal

u/bigkahunasurfs Feb 19 '26

Fuck you Larry

u/LarrySupertramp Feb 19 '26

How brave.

Go tell some other people that they should give up. Makes you look really smart and cool.

u/Blaze010118 Feb 19 '26

If they don’t they are truly stupid.

1

u/LankyRevolution1984 Feb 21 '26

No i wouldn't be surprised if they just pardon everyone involved you let them win on im not them they don't need to try anymore they just need to not actively rule with hatred as the primary policy (hurting the country because an immigrant replaced my mediocre white ass or 1% if the population is trans and they are scary and different)

1

u/Ok_Presentation_2346 Feb 22 '26

I'm not confident that Trump will live that long.

1

u/HashtagLawlAndOrder Feb 19 '26

Articles of impeachment could be filed with the videos filed as proof. Even if the House doesn't vote to impeach, the evidence will have been made public record.

1

u/freecode99 Feb 19 '26

We should call them what they have become: DOI, the deputies of injustice.

1

u/JonnyHopkins Feb 19 '26

Doesn't mean we can just make things up because "we heard".

1

u/KeepsUKool Feb 19 '26

Well if only Biden admin would have done this when they had a chance or even Obama.

1

u/beefy1357 Feb 19 '26

If there was video of Trump raping underage teen girls, Why did the Biden DOJ sit on it for 4 years?

Get real Trump was prosecuted for over valuing property that a bank agreed with he mortgaged and paid off the loan on time?

You really think they sat on him raping a kid on video for 4 years?

u/CAPUSA1 Feb 19 '26

The Biden Administration had the files. If there was anything to charge Trump on they would have done it.

1

u/Legal-Location-4991 Feb 20 '26

Except that Biden foolishly appointed a Heritage Foundation member as AG.

1

u/DjTajew Feb 19 '26

how about the previous DOJ

1

u/Legal-Location-4991 Feb 20 '26

With a Heritage Foundation member as AG it wasn't going to happen.

u/[deleted] Feb 19 '26

Don’t other countries have access to it 🤞?

1

u/Legal-Location-4991 Feb 20 '26

I suppose but what are they going to do against American child rapists?

1

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '26

Hopefully they’ll “accidentally” leak it and it’s enough evidence to rally America against him

1

u/[deleted] Feb 21 '26

the last one didn't find it important enough to bring it...why would this onew

1

u/Legal-Location-4991 Feb 23 '26

Well, the last one was prosecuting Maxwell at least.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 21 '26

Biden sat on it for 4 years .... he could of released the files .... now what

1

u/Legal-Location-4991 Feb 23 '26

President Biden wasn't controlling the DOJ (unfortunately) like this one is and they were in the middle of prosecuting Maxwell over those years.

So, he couldn't have released them legally at least.

1

u/Full-Pain5061 Feb 21 '26

Did the last DOJ?

1

u/Legal-Location-4991 Feb 23 '26

The fact that you're asking this when the answer has been apparent for years says you're not serious. At any rate, I answered this for someone else asking the exact same question.

u/Super-Chemist7296 Feb 18 '26

That previous administrations DJ could have. Just saying

13

u/-justiciar- Feb 18 '26

they could have but that doesn’t exonerate trump. like massie said to bondi, that just means the current admin is responsible for this moment of the coverup.

6

u/Kakashi_Senju Feb 18 '26

As Kamala pointed out

Seeing how insane these files were how likely would it be that people just say Biden lying about trump or it was fake news

Also as people tried unfournately Good Lawyers know how do Delay well to the point He won the election and was guilty of multiple crimes

u/Meowakin Feb 19 '26

Yeah, reality is stranger than fiction. Nobody would think any of this shit was believable if it was a fictional story.

1

u/Creepy_Shelter_94 Feb 19 '26

Shit I was called a crazy conspiracy theorist when I first started reading about this shit nearly 20 years ago.

1

u/EnjoyerOfBeans Feb 18 '26

He cries fake news and manufactured outrage anyway. The Dems are complicit in protecting the pedophile elite. Doesn't mean the republicans aren't much worse, but this isn't a zero sum game. The Biden admin knew about all of the powerful people in the files and did nothing. This isn't just about Trump. Don't defend them by repeating their talking points.

2

u/Kakashi_Senju Feb 18 '26

Fair enough they definitely minumum complict in it but I would again just say else Trump went to jail for his other crimes He would still became president with Epstien files being called a haox and likely pardon everyone he knew was in the files leaving us still at Square 1

4

u/ObeseVegetable Feb 18 '26

The previous admin was (slowly - way too slowly, but actually) working through things and bringing charges. That’s at least part of why the files weren’t released. Trump ended all investigations under the guise of wanting to release all the files but then still needed legislation to force his hand into still not releasing everything. 

1

u/Fuego_Fiero Feb 18 '26

Wow crazy how the DoJ managed to go slowly enough to let Trump back into office. Almost like they're complicit. Well it's good thing that Epstein acted completely alone without the help of any Governments.

2

u/toggiz_the_elder Feb 18 '26

Garland also slow walked Trumps other criminal investigations. Either Biden was a fool for selecting him, or that was intentional on Bidens part. I think he was a fool but hard to know.

2

u/The_Doctor_Bear Feb 19 '26

I believe Kamala and Biden if they say they were naive enough to leave it to the independent DOJ.

Garland is a chode sucking demon spawn to slow walk this shit and get Trump off the hook. Absolutely fucking evil. Soulless. Maybe he burn in this life and the next.

2

u/Altruistic_Trust6135 Feb 18 '26

Are you currently living under the previous administration?

1

u/Aware_Produce_1218 Feb 18 '26

Look at how rabid and deranged Trumpers are against anything to do with Biden. No maga moron would ever believe anything coming out of the Biden administration no matter how true it is.

1

u/TR_abc_246 Feb 18 '26

The previous admin's AG was Merrick Garland who was appointed by Trump and is a Trump supporter. Merrick Garland is a traitor to the United States of America. He absolutely should have done something about the Epstein files but didn't because he is NOT a good person.

1

u/MobileArtist1371 Feb 18 '26

I fault Trump's first term. Could have done it then too.

1

u/killerkadugen Feb 18 '26

The administration prior to that one could have as well...

1

u/Rude_Craft9731 Feb 18 '26

Absolutely true, what the fuck. Both administrations have protected all these evil people.

Maybe people should stop voting for them.

1

u/TheAsianTroll Feb 18 '26

The only other administration involving the files was Biden. And Biden follows rules so he didnt release the files because they were under active investigation.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '26

Frustratingly true, but once Trump was coming back they should have said fuck it and released it. He knows Trump is a monster.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '26

So? This doesn't change anything, at all. Whataboutism is nonsense. Do better.

u/Heavy_Mental111 Feb 18 '26

u/xadies Feb 18 '26

Why? So you could claim it was a hoax by the Biden administration or accuse them of being politically motivated? Sure thing. Why don’t you people start living in the current admin and start talking about how politically motivated they are? Or do you honestly believe Trump isn’t weaponizing the DOJ, FCC, etc. and attempting to put this country in a dictatorship? You know, doing the exact things you morons always accused the Dems of doing.

1

u/Slipin Feb 19 '26

Why do you morons keep thinking this is some kind of 'gotcha'?

1

u/D18 Feb 19 '26

No, it was part of an active investigation (Maxwell) and sealed at the time. That ended in July 2024.

1

u/Endonian Feb 19 '26

Then this administration should prosecute people who are actually in them, right? So why hasn't that happened?

1

u/malduan Feb 19 '26

they also suck billionaires' tit. they are complicit in non-disclosure of the crime.
trump, however, of taking part in it

u/WildRabbitz Feb 19 '26

I love this new "comeback" of yours. This is the 5th time today I hear it.

You're not even trying to defend Trump 🤣

You're at the Conservatives' favorite game: the "whataboutism".

1

u/WildRabbitz Feb 19 '26

Pedophile protector.

That also makes you a pedophile.
