The list is released with all names redacted. Because the right would consider anyone on the list as a victim, even those who committed crimes.

Good news they'll just use black highlight instead of actually redacting anything.

Honestly, I’m imagining a ridiculous scenario where the victims get protection and their names are accidentally outed in the Epstein files. Imagine all the Trumpers going off to threaten these victims and being shot dead for it. Solves so many problems all at once.

Sigh.

Oh yea, he will definitely be impeached for the third time. One more impeachment and he'll get a Writ of Reprimand. 4 of those and a Supreme Court judge literally slaps him on the wrist. That'll show him.

Well once it really gets proven he is a pedo, which we're pretty close to, his own base will likely eat him alive and, I dunno, split off into factions?

What will happen?

Anywhere from nothing to full out civil war, pushed mostly by ~~the crazies~~ MAGA.

one possibility is people who have been ensconced in MAGA, entirely because they think every Democrat eats babies, will have their reality shattered by the completely obvious and well documented fact that Trump is a pedophile, and not even just A pedophile but THE pedophile, the final boss of 1990s human trafficking and serial rape.

They would 100% never let files with Trump's name in it out. This is going to absolutely backfire on the Democrats when the Republicans inevitably release a doctored list with all their political enemies on it. This is so much better for the Dems when the files are a big MacGuffin. Even if by some miracle they did release the actual list and Trump was on it, they would say it was a witch hunt by the corrupt Biden administration and MAGA would eat it up. There will never be legal consequences for any of them, ever. If they ever do get consequences it will be because of some brave Luigi.

Well, if 20 Republicans crossed the aisle he could be removed from office. I think more likely is we'll be seeing lots of GOP seats lost in the midterm elections.

An immediate admission of an active alien invasion and the activation of the new patriot II act.

By continuing to not follow the law or process as it benefits them like they have been. But good on Dems for the constant pressure. That's exactly what they need to do.

They don't have to block shit. They can just ignore it.

Fall back on the sovcit playbook: claim that it's outside their jurisdiction and stall for time until they come up with another excuse to protect toddler-tupper Trump.

I mean, if it's not blocked, who's going to force them to release?

The finance committee requested the files, got them, wrote up subpoenas based on those files and were blocked by republiQans.

All under Biden. Still ready to go, just get the GQP to do anything at all.

Too little was done out of fear Trump would capitalize on it.

And look how that turned out.

It will never get released. The Democrats get to act like they want to release it while the Republicans are blocking it now. This is very bad theater.
