It’s such a nakedly obvious and desperate last ditch ploy but it’s almost definitely going to work. And it will be both humorous and sad that the base will be totally fine with still not getting the files released that they were promised. It’s very clearly obvious at this point that Trump is in the files, otherwise the files would have been released. There’s really no debating that anymore.
I’d rather Trump not be in the files. I’d rather the president of the United States who was elected not once but twice, not be guilty of pedophile behavior in the past. I’d rather all of us who have been accusing him of being a pedophile, be wrong. I’d rather all of that smoke be completely coincidental and there be no fire. More so than anything else, I would like to be 100% wrong about him.
So if the Epstein files exonerate him the way that he and his administration claim, what’s the harm in releasing them?
