I'm not sure anything is a distraction from the Epstein files. I don't think the administration cares about the Epstein files. What would be the fallout if they were all released? We already know that a lot of wealthy people were raping children. It's not like the US is going to prosecute.

So why exactly is the department of justice in contempt of congress and a judge right now, refusing to release them?

Why are the names of perpetrators in the files censored, while those of victims remained clear?

Why has not a single person been prosecuted since the files were released?

Because Trump likes being antagonistic. And the notion that plundering America is just a distraction from the files is itself a convenient distraction from the plundering of America.

> Why has not a single person been prosecuted since the files were released?

Because the perpetrators run the government.

Someone's name appears on it more than the word "God" does on the bible, according to the press. I think a tangible confirmation of that, and the deeds that occurred, and the fact Epstein was a Mossad agent with Russian ties would send a lot of things crumbling.

Did Bondi not say on camera that if the list was released "the system would collapse"?

Depends on who's in it.

An open secret as to who is.
