Zone1 Can anyone show any reason, other than guilt, to prevent the release of the Epstein files?

Can anyone show any reason, other than guilt, to prevent the release of the Epstein files?

Seriously.

What other reason could there possibly be?

I really wanna know.

Probably a ton of reasons, but you are too invested in your Trump hate to even listen to them.

Seek help.

That is not an answer.

Why are you dodging the question?

Is it because you can't think of one either?

No, you posted some youtube video I'm not gonna bother to watch.

Name one.

Just do a keyword search of Creepy's posting history regarding Epstein and filter the dates to limit the search to just the Biden era.

Guess what you wil find?

He beats this dead horse because Trump has unhinged him. He posts nothing if it is not about his hatred for Trump.

Because that's not the thread topic.

You wanna address the topic?

Name one reason other than guilt to prevent the release of the Epstein files.

 

[OODA_Loop]

Just one.

there is a longstanding DOJ policy and principle that has been observed by both political parties that we don’t turn these things over. We don’t slag people in public who can’t defend themselves, who aren’t charged with anything, who don’t have the ability to go to trial.

Ask Garland and Biden.

It should be clear by now that anyone whose name pops up in any of the massive file dumps will be sullied with attachment to Epstein, regardless of whether s/he actually did anything wrong.

The non-Fox Media will make these files the new "Russia, Russia, Russia," hoax, headlining every day with a new revelation that implicates Trump in some nefarious action...then when the dust settles it will be yet another nothing-burger. For the next 3 years.

Is that a good enough reason to exercise some restraint?

The presidency does hold broad declassification authority, and the administration has used executive action to declassify other historical records, demonstrating theoretical capacity to declassify [4]. However, documents tied to criminal investigations, grand jury material, and ongoing prosecutions are governed by statutes and court rules that often require judicial sign-off before public release; the Department of Justice and the FBI play gatekeeping roles in that process [5] [3]. The Justice Department’s February 2025 release of a first phase of declassified Epstein files shows the administration can direct some disclosure, but the files previously released contained largely already‑leaked material and omitted thousands of investigative pages that remain subject to legal constraints [1] [2]. That combination of legal limits and interagency control explains why a single executive order won’t automatically make all files public.

Yeah, that's pretty lame but at least you tried.

It turns out to be pretty bogus though. trump does that all the time.

Just one example:

The Collateral Damage of Trump's Extreme Declassifications

Trump has the legal right to make public whatever documents he chooses. But he's going to cause unknown damage in the process.

Ask Garland and Biden.

Again, that's a deflection and not a response to the topic.

Try again.

This isn't about him not using executive authority to release the files, this is about him fighting tooth and nail to prevent their release.
