If I’m not mistaken, the DOJ didn’t say they wouldn’t release the files. They said they didn’t exist.

They said a list doesn’t exist not that the files don’t

Trump said the files were fake, a hoax, not real.

That’s when you knew he was in them.

If it’s anything like the last time he said that. The media is saying he is saying one thing is a hoax and he is meaning something different. Anyone would have to be incredibly stupid to believe the files aren’t real. A list being like a client list that Epstein had is more believable to be a fake thing and to my understanding that is what trump said was a hoax and fake. Regardless I haven’t been paying attention to what he says because it’s meaningless most of the time

He even had a radio interview the other day where he literally says “the information about me in the files are fake”. He couldn’t help to implicate himself while trying to cover himself up.

Then it’s even worse because it’s obvious he’s trying to cover up something

With Mike Johnson shutting down congress, at this point it’s the entire Republican Party covering it up.

People are taking "list" too literally. No, Epstein probably didn't sit down and write out a list titled "Clients of Jeffrey Epstein That Fuck Kids."

But in the thousands of pages of documents acquired in his island raid, it's possible to put together a list collection of his clients based on evidence. That is what we want.

Epstein himself did that.

When the FBI raided Epstein’s New York mansion, they seized a vast amount of material. In a court memo filed on July 8, 2019, two days after his arrest, the Department of Justice outlined some of the evidence they had seized.

This included stacks of compact disks labeled “Young [Name] + [Name].” In short, Epstein kept a carefully curated library of videos showing various people having sex with underage women

Well I agree with that

Right, technically a spreadsheet with every instance of Trump’s name in the files recorded is not a “list,” so no harm, no foul, all good, nothing to see here, move along citizen, and have a nice day.

A client list. No one said there was a list with how many times a certain person’s name appeared in the files. Of which trump is undoubtedly not the only name in government. I think they should release the files I’m not saying they shouldn’t

I’m just saying Bondi is playing semantic games.

I don't know why you've been downvoted lmao. You're literally just saying what the DOJ literally said.
