Did anyone think the Epstein Files would be released?

Or that any truly harmful mention of Trump would be allowed out of this DOJ?
Hopefully we are not that naive.

The round numbers that were mentioned - 100,000 or 1,000,000 - always said to me they are only giving the appearance of complying with the law. Also seems like every time they plan on release they find a new treasure trove, but no one ever mentions where it's all stored. Plus, redact redact.

Al Capone's vaults released more.
