You think the personal lawyers of Donald Trump Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche will follow the money unbiasedly? As well as children's book, The Plot Against the King, author Kash Patel and FBI director? As well as Russian asset herself, Tulsa Gabbard director of National Intelligence want to do anything against their power source?
Yet this was released under their term and not previous presidential terms
> previous presidential terms
Term, not plural. There was one (1) interceding administration following Epstein's death.
Trump promised that the Epstein files would be released if he was reelected, and then withheld files. Congress passed a bill remediating this, hence the newer tranche of files: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epstein_Files_Transparency_Act
Im not too deep into USA politics and have very very bad memory so i dont remember how it went down. The Wikipedia article you linked says it was signed by trump.
>and then withheld files.
So did he sign that willingly in the end? Did he have to sign it? Did he cave because he said publicly he would?

The democrats had these files and all that information in their power for what? 5 years? And what did they do?
Stop making this a partisan issue. It’s not, and nobody that’s not completely biased beyond any rationality will ever see it as such.
Democrats do nothing because they are useless. Republicans do nothing because they are implicated.
Democrats are complicit as well. Don't let them off the hook by making the mistake of thinking they're simply weak.
Democrats engaged in the same cover-up and lies and sexual abuse as the Republicans wrt Epstein. Democrats supported ICE and the murder of immigrants and citizens. Democrats supported American imperialism, oligarchy and genocide.
The parties aren't the same. Would we have the same open chaos, violence and instability under a Harris regime? Probably not. Would they have released any of the Epstein files on their own? Also probably not. Voting for the lesser (or more restrained) evil is valid when no good option exists but make no mistake the Democrats are not really a principled opposition party. It's mostly kayfabe.
Oh yes, I'm absolutely sure the Democrats were just sitting on a treasure trove of - only - Republican Party members' pedophile crimes for 5 years, and they did nothing because they are useless and couldn't get bothered with doing some work on it.
Seems sensible...
