I believe there is no administration-threatening panacea to be had in any Epstein Files release at this time, because Trump directly controls whatever is going to be released. There is no way any Epstein Files release will include incriminating stuff about Dear Leader while he is POTUS and the DoJ is under his thumb. Not to mention, if there was any iron-clad evidence about serious IQ47 misdeeds in those files, it would have leaked. Also, I believe SOME victim or witness would have publicly said something about his involvement by now.

The sole progenitor of the "Epstein was passing victims around to his rich friends" conspiracy theory, the late Virginia Guiffre, specifically testified she knew nothing of any Trump misdeeds around Epstein, never saw him or heard from others he was at the estate at the time. And even she said she didn't know of any other victims being abused by anyone other than JE/VG at their behest, only herself

If we wanted these files released, we should have lobbied for it to happened immediately after Maxwell's 2022 trial, or in the future if Dem's are ever allowed to take back the White House. Now is not the time. The Epstein Files if released under IQ47 will be Fitzmas, Russiagate, and the Steele Dossier rolled up into one colossal nothing-burger, and we will collectively look like fools, hollering about cover-ups like JFK and 9/11 conspiracy theorists.

As I've often shared, I think what he's scared about is that he tried to blackmail Epstein over his teen-f***ing because Epstein knew he was laundering money for the Russians. I think that is what that birthday card was. A thinly veiled blackmail threat, i.e. you keep my secrets, and I'll keep yours. I think he was relieved when it came out and nobody picked up on what it really was because they're so caught up in the pedo-Trump mindset.

MHO, fwiw.

Edit: One more thing is that I think Maxwell knows exactly what that birthday note was actually meant to convey. Which is why she was transferred to cushy digs right around the time it was released to the public. Epstein knew Orangina was laundering Russian money in Florida in the early 2000's, and therefore so does Maxwell.

Edit 2: I think that b-day note, released by Murdoch's rag, don't forget, was a textbook "limited hangout".
