The reason I ask is because, we have a government in the USA, who has demonstrated time and time again about how little accountability and responsibility matters to them. We have a “president” who is a convicted felon, has been impeached twice and obviously isn’t serving any level of sentencing whatsoever because we live in a world like that for some reason.
So why should anyone give a shit whether or not the Epstein files are released? I mean it is obvious that Trump has associated with him, it is no doubt that there are other high profile associates too, who are making their actions about how they’re handling this more apparent that their words ever could.
But the point I’m getting to is - why does this shit matter to an administration and particularly Trump when he’s about dodged everything you can throw at him? If he’s apparently immune, his voterbase doesn’t care and there is no sense of honor or anything through this administration. Wouldn’t these files mean next to nothing to him?
There would be many people implicated in such files. Even if a handful of people at the top would be able to sidestep any consequences, dozens more would not.
The only reason the current admin is able to stay in power is because it’s enabled by hundreds of influential sycophants. If a few dozen of those were put behind bars, they’d lose their majority, and stop being able to dismiss any and all legal challenges.
Let me remind you that the 14th amendment states that anyone who gives aid or comfort to an enemy of the United States is defined as a terrorist. If they lost their majority, it would open up every single person who voted against impeachment after the insurrection to getting slapped with terrorism charges.
