It wasn’t all that long ago that Republicans were pretending they wanted the Epstein files released. Now it’s Democrats who are pretending that they want the Epstein files released.

The reality is that no one wants the Epstein files released. The Dems last of all. Promises to release the Epstein files are sucker bait, because there’s nothing to release. Anyone who starts out promising to release them or the JFK/UFO files eventually ends up having to explain why there’s nothing there.

I was writing about the Epstein case long before many of the current grifters and to state the obvious, there are no files of any significance to release. Anything truly damning is as gone as Hillary’s real emails. Only a crackhead like Hunter Biden would just dump laptops full of damning evidence where anyone could get at it. And if those hard drives had been purely in the province of the FBI, they would have wiped them the way they wiped Hillary’s drives after they had ‘finished’ their investigation.

Or the records of Epstein’s visitor logs during his first term in ‘prison’.

It’s amazing to me that people believe the government is capable of the worst kinds of crimes and yet carefully keeps damning evidence on itself just waiting for the right bureaucrat or appointee to release it. The Communists and Nazis did that kind of thing because they had absolute power and were convinced that they were going to rule the world. They didn’t think in terms of ‘cover-ups’ until much later when they realized they weren’t going to win. Government employees covering up things for powerful people well… cover them up. Sometimes clumsily, like Sandy Berger stuffing documents about Clinton’s Bin Laden policy in his socks. But there is no collection of videos of powerful people assaulting underage girls waiting to be released. If such videos still exist, then you can bet they’ve been winnowed down to protect the particularly influential. And by now everyone ought to know that an upper level Bureau man when confronted with politically explosive stuff like this will find a reason to erase it.

Calls to release the Epstein files will just lead to the release of more useless documents. Everyone in politics knows it. They’re playing a game and lying to you.

As they always do.
