By the time everything is released, I bet the list of top level officials not in the files will be shorter than the ones in the files.

It's probably a requirement to get a specific level position.

You that's how they select the higher up and control the higher up. The files secrecy weren't just about hiding Trump's actions, they were about having control over others in them. If it's public he loses control over someone, then that someone may talk....

Course we know how good that does anymore so unsure what the deal is.

To be clear I think it's a huge deal but not much has happened from the files so why should the US president really care?

Big shocker...ANOTHER Trump ally wanted to rape kids. Please...JUST STOP! These people will never face justice because they run the country now. Even so-called "left wing echo chambers" like Reddit will perma-ban you for saying that these monsters should face anything harsher than a slap on the wrist. I was banned for saying that there should be capital punishment AFTER legal trials because "That's violent!" No shit. The latest Epstein files are reporting not only child rape but child murder... but that's okay, because they didn't say anything bad on social media about hurting anyone! This country is sick and its dying...and I'm sick and tired of seeing these people get away with it. America died in 2016. The corpse just hasn't stopped twitching.

Wasn't there a conspiracy theory that Ghislaine was a reddit mod/admin?

America contracted a terminal disease in 1971, at the business roundtable.

Him listing out the ages of the several children he was bringing with him made my stomach do a flip

That was his wife, not him.

In one email from December 2012, Lutnick's wife Allison wrote to Epstein's assistant: "We are looking forward to visiting you. We will be coming from Caneel Bay in the morning. We are a crowd... 2 families each with 4 kids ranging in age from 7-16! 6 boys and 2 girls. I hope that's okay. We would love to join you for lunch."

Imagine messaging the assistant of the world's most notorious pedophile that
