12. I'll probably get blasted for this, but it needs to be said.

Many people are setting themselves up to be extremely disappointed if/when the Epstein files are ever released. Keep in mind that Trump had absolutely nothing to do with the "sweetheart deal" that Acosta agreed to with Epstein. That was under the Justice Department of George W. Bush.

MAGAs are upset because they had convinced themselves that there was a treasure trove of information in the files implicating powerful Democrats. Of course, that was stoked by Trump and others on the right. Thus, it is ironic now that many on the left have similarly convinced themselves that there is a treasure trove of of information implicating Trump. That despite there being no public proof of exactly what the Government is in possession of. There so far is no public evidence proving Trump guilty of any wrongdoing against under age girls. To the contrary, there are numerous public statements and court testimony from Epstein victims that they never witnessed any wrongdoing by Trump. I seriously doubt that the files contain any evidence of many of the egregious things many people have convinced themselves of.

I'm not saying there is no information implicating Trump in the files. I DO suspect there is very likely "some" incriminating evidence against Trump in the files but nobody knows for sure. I'm just saying people are setting themselves up to be disappointed if their expectations aren't met, which inevitably will lead to many more conspiracy theories about Trump.
