This may be the wildest ride internally since the Civil War. It transcends even the OJ Simpson case which had EVERYTHING: murder, sex, exquisite-looking people, police corruption, celebrity clients, attorneys, and witnesses, mystery, Los Angeles as a venue, and incredible crime scene technology, to name just a few. This has the potential to blow the lid off every aspect of American hierarchy in politics, academia, corporate, and millionaire/billionaire class, again, to name just a few.
This could change the landscape of the contemporary American Experience. Eventually, this will all be revealed.
I hope and pray.

(27,818 posts)The OJ trial was the one of the most significant American issues which overtook the nation. It overshadowed every other bit of news at the time.
This list of perpetrators if/when released may eclipse that in terms of impact.

(3,159 posts)Whites were strangely obsessed with the Simpson murder case. That was bizarre and disgusting and had nothing to do with anything other than racism. It certainly was not "one of the most significant American issues."

(14,661 posts)I think the same is true in politics. I suspect there are fewer politicians on that list than most expect, and more megadonors.

I'd be fine if Trump's end comes in the form of a fleeing White Bronco.

(27,818 posts)I will never forget that we had had some people over who had left. I went upstairs to take a look at the NBA playoff game and instead I see this white car driving, so I figured I had the wrong channel went to another channel. Its the same shot of the white car and I yelled down to my then-wife: you better get up here somethings going on.

(4,912 posts), but tsf and his lap dog Johnson wouldn't be changing their tune to the press, if they didn't believe they had away to protect themselves. Like many have said here, and in the press, Bondi will probably claim she can't release them because of an active investigation, or they have scrubbed all the parts that will hurt tsf or any of his supporters. They will have left anything that points to Democrats being involved. I also don't think they are above planting phony evidence.
I know I am being a pessimist, but I have seen so many headlines since the whole tsf nightmare began, saying he's done, yet he's still standing, and taking a wrecking ball to the country.
I am tired of getting my hopes up only to watch them crash. I am saving the celebration until he is actually impeached, jailed, or succumbs to natural causes.

(2,725 posts)with rooms full of little DOGE-bags scrubbing Drumpf and his buddies' names out of the files, leaving us to guess who "Bubba" and "the dog who didn't bark" were.
MuirHero
(67 posts)Because they do not know who else out there has corroborating evidence that would expose any criminal attempt to destroy or alter any evidence that is in the possession of the DOJ. It is also very likely that FBI whistleblowers, particularly those who lost their jobs, would come forward and expose any alteration of the Epstein files.

(22,127 posts)IQ4.7 & his partners-in-crime want to stay hidden will mysteriously "trickle down" out of the DOJ one of
these days or Congress will find a way to make them public. The dam is starting to leak and Rs can not
hold it back forever. It'll be time for Rs to question how they vote.
When it does I hope our party adopts a poor vs the super wealthy game plan to win elections. Wealthy Rs
want more tax breaks to buy expensive toys like molesting children, wealthy Ds say I've got more money
than I need TAX ME.

(2,616 posts)I have no doubt there will be many prominent names in there and big repercussions but just as the Magats will be disappointed that not every single Democrat is in them, not every Republican, billionaire, CEO etc is in them either.
TheRickles
(3,073 posts)The Epstein/Trump stuff is already reaching over to Israel (via Maxwell's Mossad links), and my guess is that they're behind a lot of this. So hopefully it won't be too long before we're saying "Bye-bye Bibi!".

(2,621 posts)is the money laundering and back door financing that Epstein brokered. Shady connections with Putin. Suspicious money transferring after Epstein died. Epstein was worth billions, and had no source of income, but money "given" to him. Blackmail? This is the part the GOP is afraid to let see the light. I am sure that the money shenanigans will include big GOP donors and groups, like the Heritage Foundation, Turning Point, etc.
I think the Child trafficking and international pedo ring is a part of it, and overlaps with his finances.
Will Trump be set up as a scapegoat, to direct attention away from this? He may, but Trump will take the whole house down with him, if he goes..
And hopefully this will end the corrupt GOP for good.

(138 posts)(after it passes in the Senate and, of course, is signed by the Resident). However, I suspect tRumps complete about-face on the subject was not just to save face (since even that dumb bastard could tell what direction the wind is blowing). I think hes already worked it out with Bondi to have her deny (or limit) the release due to ongoing investigations. Hell pretend his hands are tied and let her take all the heat.

(2,106 posts)Whether withheld, altered, missing or destroyed, its unlikely well ever see anything like the complete files. Those we suspect of being involved really do live in an alternate world of privilege. If necessary a distraction as bold, wreckless, and destructive as bombing Mexico is fine with them.
IbogaProject
(5,432 posts)Where was this "story" 15 months ago? This story reappeared right after the BBB got passed in July. I really feel this is a planned distraction away from serious issues and the wealthy folks harming us. I agree this is titilating and the rights of the victims to get redress are both important but we have secret police grabbing people and leaving little in the way of a paper trail and we have war crimes being perpetrated by our military on the open seas, not to mention the esclation with tomahawks being delivered to Ukraine to keep poking Russia.
