    Yes. Completely legal. Ukraine wanted the US to cosign a loan from the World Bank. Biden was told we're not signing unless Ukraine rids itself of a corrupt politician, which was stated US policy at the time, backed by President Obama. Ukraine complied, fired the crooked prosecutor, and the loan was signed. All 100% legal.

    Why do you think they opted not to vote to protect young kids?

    Riiiiiiiiight....

    That's why Doh! Biden's admin/allies never leaked a syllable during the 4 years when they had the files in their custody and control...

    Virtuous, dignified restraint..

    D'okay! :monkey:

    There are various reasons why it wouldn’t have been released under Biden, but a lot of it has to do with the fact that they’re just incompetent as a party and often try and play the moral high ground when that’s not how you beat Trump. We all know why Trump refuses to release them and have members of congress actively blocking it. If he’s innocent, why is he so petrified of it getting out?

    Bottom of a pint glass
    After campaigning and promising to release it. Something Biden never did.

    Fair point.

    But why would he bother to campaign on that issue, if the files would implicate him???

    Makes zero sense.

    And again, the laughable premise that Doh! Biden (and sKamala when she became the opposing candy) just sat on a nuclear bomb with Trump's name on it.

    Nah. Just doesn’t hold water.

    Someone(s) with a shit pile of bipartisan clout, has locked that shit up.

    Im all for releasing them, but not buying that it has the key to bury Trump... and no one has dared to leak it. Not even the part that would bury Trump.

    Probably because it is not true. Everything you post here comes straight from the right leaning fake news sources.

    You didn't answer the question. Why is Trump scared of releasing it?

    Because he lies? Every politician does it but he’s a significant outlier even in that cohort. He was asked about releasing the Epstein files in his first term and he said he would think about it but never did. So all he has done is 1) delay, and 2) make unenforceable promises.

    You say it makes zero sense but that’s been his MO for as long as he has been a public figure.

    I don’t know that there’s anything incriminating for Trump but I’m fairly certain Trump’s name will come up and it won’t reflect well on him which is why he is 1) refusing to release them, 2) calling them fake, and 3) getting mad as his own supporters for pushing the release of the files.

    When loosely translated from DNC speak into plain-spoken American English: “Trump is 100% not in the files.”

    Trump filed a lawsuit against the WSJ, but you know what's strange? He hasn't filed one against Musk for saying that he's in the files. Why not?

    Biden's administration didn't raid, prosecute or incarcerate Epstein. Epstein was dead before he even took office. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't even look at the evidence. The dems are weak when it comes to an eye for an eye.
    trump had the files first, if they no longer exists it would make sense that they file 13th them and Biden's' admin never had the list. Besides, they prosecuted Maxwell and of that was released.

    I've seen the interviews and I follow Leaving Maga, an organization that a former maga follower started when his light went off. You have ultra maga influencers like Nick Fuentes preaching to his millions of followers to burn their red hats. I don't get your last sentence, can you elaborate?

    Never mind.

    "A federal judge in Florida has denied the Justice Department’s request to unseal grand jury transcripts from the investigation of deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein in that state."

    "The department — under increasing pressure from President Donald Trump’s political base — petitioned the court last week to release those closely held records of the testimony of witnesses who appeared before the grand jury. But in a 12-page opinion Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Robin L. Rosenberg said that she could not legally do so under guidelines governing grand jury secrecy set by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, which includes Florida."

    I would imagine almost everything under the GJ exists in other venues/interviews.
    Would the other sweetheart deals be sealed under same said case or others.

    Meh. I think there are some former Trump voters here that did that very thing. I know I am not alone.
