Ye, doth protest too much! Unwind that taught rubber band, before it cuts off all blood to your brain! Deep breaths!
Biden didn't fight tooth and nail to HIDE the files.... I haven't even seen any reporting where Biden was even directly asked for them, or Biden denying the release....
You've gone cuckoo, in your defense of Trump's bat shit crazy responses, and lies, and denials, and refusals to release the files since this past May....
He only tried to save face at the 11th Hour....he lost his hold on Republicans on this and flip flopped because it was inevitable, and he hates nothing more, than being called a LOSER.
the only thing Im defending is logical reasoning.
There's no logically reasoned path to believing that it's
likely that Trump is implicated in the Epstein files. Does that mean it's impossible? No, but it's logically, wildly unlikely.
Essentially what you want me and everyone else to believe is that:
Trump was involved in raping young women with the most notorious pedophile in US history who was indicted while he was President and subsequently died while in custody in what I think we can agree were at least odd circumstances. And then when no one was asking him to, promised to release the investigation files on Epstein, where he HAD TO KNOW there was at least a chance he would be implicated in. Did he just forget that he was ******* underaged women with Epstein? Why on earth would he promise such a thing?
Then having made this a campaign issue and the Biden campaign reeling post his debate melt down, no one with connections to the Biden campaign told them "Hey there's evidence in the Epstein investigation files that Trump was raping young women". Also no one who'd seen these files (and that number had be in the 100's or 1000's at that point), leaked to the press that Trump was diddling underaged women with Epstein. In the current political environment, I just don't believe that. Sorry.
And now that the files are going to be released you're making the claim that the Trump admin will have scrubbed these files of Trump's guilt and apparently all the people who would know that he'd done that are just going to keep their mouth shut about it.
That's what you want everyone to believe. That's what you think is logically feasible.
May I posit an alternate "conspiracy"?
Trump promises to release these files because it's a cudgel he can use against the "deep state". There's nothing in the files that could hurt him so why would he care. He knows that because he knows whether or not he'd been raping underaged women with Epstein or not. What he wouldn't know (because there would have been no reason to tell him when he was President last time) was whether the US intelligence apparatus was involved in this in some way either directly or indirectly. That's something he wouldn't be informed of until after he'd been sworn in and attempted to get those files released.
That scenario lines up logically with the timeline and facts (that we know currently) of this story IMO.
That said this is all moot, as the files are going to be released.
