30. It seems like the doj was complicit in covering up for tRump

MAGA is taking great comfort in the idea that if tRump were in the Epstein files then Biden would have released it, but it's clear to me now that Biden didn't know one way or another. He trusted the doj and their integrity and the Epstein case wasn't necessarily on his radar at that time when all hell was breaking out in the Middle East.

Also MAGA still refuses to pick a lane: is Biden a doddering old fool or is he the type who would the meddling in the Epstein case, see that tRump's in the files and release it immediately? Biden could have just as easily enforced punishment for the coup attempt on January 21st but he didn't.
