Am I the only person who thought they would have burned everything in a dumpster by now, and degaussed every hard drive and just denied that Epstein even existed? Given how much effort they were putting into prevaricating, claiming it was all a Democrat hoax, that no such files existed, or that Epstein never did anything wrong? Wasn't Ghislane moved to Texas to shut her up?

That there are actually still files to release is baffling. I assume the release was judiciously selective and that none of the files will implicate Trump, and all of them will implicate Democrats and people he doesn't like.

Do we even trust what they're releasing isn't doctored or selected to be politically advantageous to those doing the releasing?

From the subheading of the fine article:

>> The Duke of York is named as a passenger on the sex offender's private jet in documents released by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee in the US.

Unless there's some other group of Democrats who are releasing these documents, I doubt it'll be so selective as to avoid naming Trump and implicate many Democrats instead.

These files are worth their weight in gold if they actually do have compromising data on many different people in power. Lists of people who flew on Epstein's plane is hardly incriminating from a legal perspective, it's only valuable for cancelling others. It's the suspected pictures and videos of the rich and powerful in compromising positions with underage girls that we'll never see, assuming they do exist. Unless someone doesn't play ball, that is.

Yes, I'm a cynic, but if there wasn't much there they wouldn't be playing so many games.
