If congress votes to release the DOJ files then we might see stalling or a court battle. If then the files are released, it won't really be a smoking gun. We will get some more insight into how wide this is, like we did through the email release yesterday. It will allow people to construct a speculative story but nothing concrete. Then it's over. Maybe down the road we get a Warren Commission when it's safe and the government needs a distraction. I think Trump and all will get away with it just like people have gotten away with other deep events. The same group who is trying to use this as political leverage against Trump will turn and be making fun of you for believing it 10 years from now. Just like with 9/11 truthers or JFK people. Jon Stewart and Colbert will be like "Epstein files? Um, okay? Let me guess, you also think the moon landing was a hoax too, right?" The only reason we're getting as much as we are is because it's politically convenient for libs.
