When the Epstein files are released

Last edited Mon Nov 17, 2025, 03:48 PM - Edit history (1)

Trump is all over them and clearly involved. So what is the recourse? Impeachment, right. Except the current Congress does not have the votes to impeach him nor will they in 2027 after midterms. Trump will deny allegations and that is it. We have been here before. He really is Teflon Don.

And then for all the Repugs who are fine with pedo raping, use that as a bludgeon against them for the rest of their public life.

Anyone can file a lawsuit. Just because there are "court documents" from the filing does not mean any of the allegations in the filing are necessarily true.

So, mark my words, the Democrats will win the House of Representatives in 2026. And plausibly, they will gain a victory in the U.S. Senate as well.
Hell yeah 💪🏻

I think our OP has simply said something that is not true. That's too bad! We should be more careful about posting things like that here.

Maybe the poster will make a correction or self-delete.

I know it hasn't happened. Many of us know that. Unfortunately not everyone does, and some people take posts on DU as being true as they are written. So, I called it out.

The Epstein Files have not been released.

Oh, and Biden sure stuck an ass-whopping on """Teflon Don""" in 2020.

Trump and his voters have never mattered -- they are a minority.

But they refused to acknowledge that the post as originally made was completely wrong. That's really weak IMO. We all make mistakes. Most of us are willing to publicly admit it when we find we were wrong.

If they are released and he is implicated I think that's how it will play out. Thanks for the post.
