Trump is probably on the list, so he has to protect that. The Democrats had it during their entire presidency; even if they didn’t want turmoil during their time in office, they could have released it after their presidential defeat and before Trump took office.
Tbh, probably because a lot of their donors are on the list. Also, Bill Clinton. And probably several other Democrats.
I don’t think Bill Clinton has that much pull honestly. But important Democrats or important donors maybe.
I agree, but I think Hillary does, and it would be a personal embarrassment to her.
Clinton
Because the list DOESNT EXIST as our Truth Telling Administration has TOLD US! All you STUPID LIBTARDS who thought the CLINTONS WERE RAPISTS were WRONG!
This is all you fucking do. These shitty little comments that are supposed to look like irony, but are empty and mindless.
What’s the deal? Why have you put in that much time on lemmy making essentially the same comment over and over again? Like, often enough that I don’t even have to look at the user name when there’s a comment like this, it’s going to be you.
There has to be a reason behind it, some kind of thing in your head that makes you think it’s a beneficial hobby, so what is it? Help a motherfucker out, I don’t like blocking people unless there’s no other choice, so show me the human behind the blathering.
Because when you get to a certain point of wealth, you can have everything and nothing is out of reach. So you move on to other things that are out of reach… big fucking yikes if you ask me.
Mutually assured destruction is my likely guess. If the list came out, I imagine there would be massive casualties on both sides.
Good. They should be destroyed.
Unfortunately the people making that call are largely people that are on that list or closely connected to people that are.
That’s kills me inside…like I grew up being told, “Don’t cover for your friends if they do something stupid.” I learned that includes things like rapes and assault, or child molestation or anything that proves they are not a good person.
How is it that so many people in power don’t have that type of mentality? How is it that somehow none of em, not one, has the balls to actually stand up and say, “A, B, ans C have done this and this and that.”
I’m lost for words on how to describe my feelings towards the Democrats that let this through.
Because information is power. They can use knowledge of another’s wrongdoings to buy support for things.
The boring answer: criminal investigative files generally aren’t released, so they’re compiled in a way that mingles information about victims with information about suspects and witnesses and others potentially involved in criminal activity, intentionally or unwittingly, directly or tangentially.
If you want to export a list of all names in the files, you’ll want to filter out victims for sure, and probably mere witnesses. You definitely don’t want to out informants and make them vulnerable to retaliation.
So most law enforcement agencies simply will keep everything secret. The idea of releasing names from the file was unusual, and it’s not surprising that Trump’s own people refused to follow through, especially when it’s highly likely that Trump was in that list of names.
Because many of them are probably in it too. While they play to hate each other. In the words of George Carlin, " They are all in a club and you will Never be a part of it."
It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.
Small correction, but you’re otherwise absolutely correct. 😘
Thanks. Edit. Just reminds me of Jimmy Carter’s funeral where Trump and Obama where being rather buddy buddy. Same with Bush.
Probably because there is no actual list. And what would that ‘list’ actually mean?
Do you think Epstein killed himself?
Well yes. Why would you come to another conclusion, one that’s not based on some conspiracy theory?

A list of high profile politicians, actors and other celebrities that all used Epsteins child rape services…
Yet there’s no such list. Maybe not take all these conspiracy theories for fact.
How do you know? It would be quite odd for there to be zero paper trails from running a child sex trafficking ring of this size. Its absurd to claim that there is no evidence of it.
Yet there’s not actual any evidence supporting the claim that there’s a child sex trafficking ring going on. Or was going on. Which is weird for the scale it supposedly was. That’s what’s absurd.
You think none of them are on the list too?
Surprised nobody leaked it
For the same reason Republicans haven’t released the Epstien client list. Many of them and their donors are on the list.
Because wealthy and powerful degenerates on both sides of the aisle are on the list.
Wouldn’t those that are not paedophiles want to clean house on both sides of the aisle. I mean , I get playing politics, but protecting paedophiles goes far beyond that.
Maybe there aren’t any who aren’t pedophiles?

Maybe it’s accurate more than you think
Different policies, same people.
This is also the same thing that makes them vastly different.
We call for the heads of the corrupt on our side instead of worship them.
Ive heard that many Republicans are pissed at Trump and Co about the lack of progress here since child trafficking was a big part of the QAnon bullshit. On the left, many people were willing to forgive genocide to get a paltry win at the ballot box so I can’t say either side really has the high ground.
Forgive may be a bit generous, at least in a lot of cases, I’d even argue most cases. We knew it was an inevitability with the only choices we had.

If people can come together on this, it could be the moment the USA tears down the entire establishment and probably gets rid of the two-party system.
lol

Sadly, that won’t happen if both D’s and R’s have people or large financial supporters on the list. Best case I can imagine is that those top people end up in jail which shakes up both parties. The 2 party system is a result of our voting system (winner takes all for most positions), so it’s bad to have a 3rd party similar to your own (which gets your own voters potentially siphoned off), or have be a 3rd party similar to another party (which means you’re weakening the party closest to your own, and helping the party most different from yours). regardless of whether it affects the 2 party system, getting that list published is important for justice.
It’s likely heavily reinforced by your voting system but 2 party systems aren’t unique to that system, even in theoretically better voting systems you frequently end up with very similar results. Australia as a case in point. That said if current electoral trends continue we could be seeing the end of that here and at least our system theoretically allows that to happen.

I love how pedophiles get more sympathy around the than billionaires and IDF 🤡
Checkout this podcast which has an interesting take on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o069oHLvDkg
Basically, they conclude that we all know who is implicated already and this is just a lot of meaningless distraction. They go on the point out that people from both parties are involved, and that even know we know by in large there has been no consequences and there is unlikely to be any.
Democrats are on the list.
