So now when people read the Epstein lists and documents, and a name is blacked out, everyone assumes its Trump.
I'm not sure if this is a better look for rapist and sex trafficker Donald J Trump.
Every new update that isn't releasing the full unredacted files is an admission of guilt.
I still don't get why this has picked up so much steam lately. All this info came out years ago and it was widely known at the time. We've had a de facto admission of guilt for ages but for some reason we've all decided to talk about it like we're just learning about it now.
A lot of Trump voters are into the conspiracy theories around Epstein, and a few months ago the DOJ made a big deal of giving some right-wing influencers "phase one" of the Epstein files, which turned out to be mostly stuff that was already out. Last month, the DOJ and FBI put out a memo saying that no more documents will be released and that there is no Epstein client list, despite the Attorney General previously saying it was on her desk. MAGA didn't take that well, and Trump has been trying very hard to distract people from it.
