Trump is probably on the list, so he has to protect that. The Democrats had it during their entire presidency; even if they didn’t want turmoil during their time in office, they could have released it after their presidential defeat and before Trump took office.
For the same reason republicans won’t: They’re on the list, their friends are on the list and their donors are on the list.
The last point is the most important.
The difference is the democrats didn’t campaign on the promise of releasing it. And MAGAs believed him for some weird reason
So? Do you think a politician cares about their campaign promisses, or gets held to them? They very often do the exact opposite of what they promised actually
The point I’m making is Biden never campaigned on releasing the Epstein files. So it shouldn’t be surprising that he protected the people on the list. Trump did and his idiots fully expected him to release the list because he’s an honest person who keeps his promises. Trump knowingly and intentionally got votes from the psycho qanon types who have always believed trump is playing 4D chess.
It’s important to note that the goal posts have moved. Originally people wanted to see the “black book” which may be what the client list has come from. The black book got released and it’s got lots of people in it but it didn’t prove any crimes, only that he associated with them. People kept talking about it and believed it was being kept secret because nothing happens and no one got charged with anything. I believe the “client list” which appears to be a new idea, is directly talking about a list of people who the fbi have information on of committing crimes where Epstein supplied underaged girls to them.
Nobody thinks that. Case in point - Trump is never held to anything he has ever said.
