    Two possibilities:

    1. The Epstein files are full of Magastanies.

    2. There was never anything in the Epstein files and the Magastanies lied and 70 million idiots believed them.

    The lives that mattered (the victims’) have already been “destroyed.” Why are we protecting these people?

      He’s trying to retcon the whole thing (and no doubt pad himself and his cronies), by fabricating this fiction that there are names in it that are just associated with Epstein, without being involved in anything illegal.

      Personally I don’t buy it. Seems like he’s in CYA-mode.

        Release the list and we can sort em out.

        But really, having anything more than a conversation with him is suuuuper sus. Even if not illegal, it’s shady AF.

          If that concern were actually relevant and not merely an excuse, mob justice would fail to consider innocence. That’s seen repeatedly. Merely an excuse seems likely, but…

          The thing I could imagine is that the list being something like a contact list, and Epstein treated celebrity contact information as a status symbol. If the list is a ledger of otherwise off book transactions, or a lost of people complete with blackmail material, then I can’t see how they could even try to make the argument about innocent caught up in the list.

          Either way if they have a district list, put aside releasing the list for a moment, where’s the legal system enforcement actions?

    Trump Doesn’t Want to Release Epstein Files Because (rich) People’s Lives Will Be ‘Destroyed,’ inconvenienced with having to spend money on lawyers when a few of their wives divorce them Ex-Fox Host Says

    Real “Brock Turner-ism” happening here. Be sad that some rich people might get in trouble.

    I’m just happy that they say “ex-Fox Host” because it implies that people don’t know who Bill O’Relliy is.

    LOL, he must be talking about himself, since he never gives a rat’s ass if someone else’s life is destroyed - see for example, the outcomes of DOGE, ICE…
