and I think it's the files that are the issue, not any specific "list"; however, I believe that there is a much deeper scandal to uncover involving Russian meddling and I suspect that Trump was working with Epstein to develop "kompromat" on others, giving him the mysterious power he seems to now have over Republicans and other elites.
