From the above Link:
"Who exactly are you protecting by refusing to release the Epstein files? In 2023, on Benny Johnson’s podcast, you were asked why the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was ‘protecting the world’s foremost predator’ by refusing to release the Epstein client list. Your answer: ‘Simple. Because of who’s on that list,'"
Yes, exactly right. Why else?
Democratic lawmakers, led by ranking member Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., wrote.
"Now that you are the Director of the FBI, you know precisely who is implicated in the Epstein files, yet you refuse to release them. Who are you protecting and why?"
Someone has to answer that question, and it will almost have to be Trump.
It was Trump who said all the files would be released. That was the mistake. Of course the cannot all be released. Too many names of people not indicted. The FBI/DOJ should not be in the business of releasing reputation-destroying hearsay about people they decided not to charge.
Trump needs to say, "I thought I would be able to release all the files. But now I know that I can't do that without harming the innocent, and the innocent until proven guilty."
Are there names that would embarass the GOP? Sure. There are names that would embarass the DNC. Neither side will ever release them, unless they decide they do not care what innocent people are harmed.
Time to admit that and move on.
