I suppose people are waiting to see if a prominent person is accused. Or maybe for accusations that are outrageous.

The stupidest thing about conspiracy theories is that they often assume that if “the public only knew” then something would change. “The public” doesn’t give a fuck.

My opinion is that people just wanted to lock up Trump (or Clinton), and all the raped little girls are beside the point.

    It’s very rare during a trial to have a direct evidence of a crime (so called smoking gun), it usually is multiple corroborating evidence that then is used by prosecutor to paint how the crime was committed.

    The defense then has to show why that’s not plausible.

    So can you provide some defense then, because to me it is beyond a reasonable doubt.

    DOJ killed the investigation, saying there’s no one left to investigate and that Epstein committed all those crimes alone.

    So why not release the files (especially since law requires it) to clear everyone wrongfuly listed there?

      You haven’t linked any publically available documents yet… We’re still here, at step one.

      Also why are you talking about releasing the rest of the files? That has nothing to do with the claim here.

        The fragments of the files are public and are hosted on DOJ website and implicate a lot of people, a lot from the circles of the president.

        You talked about reasonable doubt, please provide me what’s the “reasonable doubt” when:

        • DOJ says there’s nobody else to investigate or prosecute (according to them Epstein was the only one that committed those crimes)
        • that means everyone else listed there did nothing wrong and releasing those files would clear them up
        • a law passed that all files (including FBI investigators notes) supposed to become public

        So why would trump prefer to break law not releasing those files that would clear everyone (including himself) of those accusations?

        There’s no one blocking him and as mentioned there’s a law actually mandating him to do it, so what’s your reasonable doubt that he and his friends aren’t guilty?

        Not many criminals have the option of controlling their prosecutors.
