FTR, there is definitely a list, Epstein didn't kill himself, there is a massive coverup, and everyone in Hollywood and DC is implicated. That's my own personal opinion.
I want to hit this first; I agree with you on these takes.
Well, I guess you could start with, "this whole thing was a conspiracy theory that people built from a bunch of correlated data that seems nefarious but it isn't", right? Or anything in between that and calling the sitting president a pedophile with absolutely no evidence to support that?
It could be a conspiracy theory that actually is completely innocent, but we've already established, neither of us believe that.
I gave two reasons for withholding information; either engaging in acts, or protecting those who engaged.
I suppose there can be a third, which is "I was never involved in the child-stuff, but I am in the documents as an associate and those I'll take a major hit to my character/personal life."
Granted, I would think someone is a selfish coward if they chose to protect their reputation instead of naming powerful abusers, but maybe thats just me.
You also don't know if he's protecting anyone, what he knows, what his intent is, etc etc etc. It's just a wild (but pretty standard, honestly) claim to make cause you don't like a guy. I guess you could present your evidence that Donald Trump is a pedo?
Yea, the guy saying "who cares about this guy?" and claiming it's all fake documents to get him in trouble totally is acting like a reasonable person.
Me not liking Trump has nothing to do with it, as I'd be making the same points should it have been someone else in the seat. We've all assumed since Biden was in office that the documents/names weren't being released because it would implicate many powerful people.
He gets extra vitriol for having a whole administration of personnel that made comments about that, swore up and down they'd do something, and then suddenly try to jedi mind-trick the population once they're in power.
If a bunch of the political/social elites were engaged in this shit, burn it all down. Anyone who tries to protect them to "maintain the status quo" is a complict coward.
EVEN IF there's truly nothing there, this whole weird song and dance means most people will never believe that.

Seperate bit, same topic; I really look forward to seeing if Ro Khanna forces a vote and who votes against it/why.
