(1,240 posts)You believe with 100% certainty that there exists in the FBI's possession "photographs and video of adult men having sex with underaged girls", and you KNOW some of them are not Epstein (or Maxwell)? I'd ask how, but lets just assume you do know it for the sake of conversation.
So, you know that, but at the same time, you don't understand why I'd say if such video does exist, that Biden's DoJ was remiss in not pursuing this absolutely, dyed-in-the-wool, GOLD STANDARD evidence, when prosecuting Maxwell for trafficking? They stuck to only charging her with trafficking girls to Epstein ... WHY?
I'm sorry but I feel stuck between a rock and a hard place advocating for the idea the Bondi's apparent 'refusal to release the list/files/whatever' (which as you say, is not actually a decision she has the power to make) is *new proof* of anything. Because I feel like if it is, it also impugns (by lack of action) Biden's DoJ, and this is a big part of why I resist this idea, if that makes sense? These don't reconcile for me, and what you just said about the videos makes them reconcile even less.
My way out of that conundrum (may not be one to you, but it is to me) is to conclude we actually know zero more about this case now than we did a month ago. OTHER than that Trump clearly wants the world to 'move on, nothing to see here' type of thing. Which could be for a few reasons, only one of which is that there exists evidence he was availing himself of Epstein's 'on the younger side' girls. I would NOT BE SURPRISED if he was, to be clear, he was good friends with Epstein at one time, and it certainly seems in character for him, and he was sued in I think 2016 by an at-the-time 13 yo girl for raping her years before, with Epstein present?
So, totally possible, even likely, but we have no additional proof of that, or of any child-trafficking pedo cabal, than we did before Bondi opened her mouth. And if she couldn't release any files even if she wanted to, what she said recently means even less in that regard. Put another way, it would be more meaningful if she could have released them, but decided not to.
