In reply to the discussion: Another possible explanation of why Trump is now supporting the release of the Epstein Files: [View all]Safe as Milk
(180 posts)46. IMO, there are copies of everything. MANY COPIES. Epstein's lawyers aren't stupid.
Remember that the files came from Epstein's estate. They have been releasing selected files for some time. The estate will provide a backdrop of accuracy that the DOJ can't delete. So if they alter or destroy evidence, the estate will counter that action. IOW, deleting or altering the files will end up being a bigger headache for Diddling Donny. Epstein's lawyers know that they're dealing with Donny, a career criminal and consummate liar. So they protected the estate by spreading copies of their files in many secure locations.

Reason I don't believe this will happen, is Republicans won't be able to survive more sleight of hand tricks.

They will say that they can't release the files because they are now under review for the investigation of Democrats.
