If the Epstein Files Contain Dirt on Anyone Still in Power,

Then whoever holds the files can use the dirt on those individuals to coerce them into doing the will of the one who holds the files.

The files must see the light of day not only so that there can be justice for crimes committed in the past but also to make sure they can't be used to commit crimes in the future.

Once exposed to light, the files become useless for purposes of coercion or blackmail.

It would be interesting to see who loses power when all this gets exposed.

What if Trump isn't really in the "files" but inherited sole ownership of the Trump/Epstein global blackmail operation.

Exposing the workings would cost him a fortune in blackmail payments, control of all the blackmailed persons and ... well, everything.

Lots of DU'ers think so, emphatically.

On one level, I don't care who's in the files. Whoever was an abuser needs to be exposed, and the power that that secret dirt on them gives to their potential extortionist(s), as well as the abusers' own power, needs to be expunged a.s.a.p. – and the best way to do that is to let sunshine into those files.

Highest levels of government, law, education, corporations, etc. ?????

Congress, courts, media?

We know Epstein cast a very wide net and was funded by foreign money in part.

The rest will get favor due to their advanced age.

Justice delayed is justice denied.
Chump understands this perfectly.
Likely learned it from Cohn.

Delay, Distract and deny! Repeat.
