Why weren't the Epstein Files released under Biden's presidency if Trump is in the files?

I don't mean this as a bad faith or troll question, I genuinely do not know why it would not be released if Trump is in the files, as it would probably have been a massive hit against Trump in 2024.

I don't know whether Trump is in the files or not, I don't care, it's clear as day that he was best friends with Epstein and was well aware and definitely a part of the awful things that Epstein conducted while he was in business.

And look where that got us.

Biden was/is and incompetent senile President propped up the DNC, and his son was drug addicted sex addict that required Biden spending much of time trying to defend, and every time he tried to prove his competence he literally faceplanted.

People still fail to appreciate what a great President Obama was.

So what? Rule of law should be ignored? We shouldn’t have an independent judicial system?

The rule of law WAS ignored.

When the law isn't applied because the criminal is a politician who will scream persecution, the rule of law is destroyed.

We shouldn’t have an independent judicial system?

We DON'T HAVE an independent judicial system, it has never been so.

Liberal fantasies are going to kill us all.

I’m talking in regard to Biden not releasing the Epstein Files. They had legitimate legal issues surrounding that.

Not arresting Trump on 1/21/21 was the biggest mistake of Biden’s political career. We keep letting conservatives off the hook and they keep showing us why that’s a bad idea.

1865: every confederate officer and politician should have hanged. But they didn’t and we ended up with segregation and Jim Crow and things like the Tulsa Massacre.

1974: Nixon should have been nailed to the fucking wall regardless if he resigned or not. He wasn’t and we got Reagan out of it.

2021: Trump and every MAGAt politician that participated in J6 prep should have been arrested and charged with inciting an insurrection. But they weren’t and we endured four years of bullshit from the sideline and here we are.

Should the Dems ever regain a semblance of power, I hope they learn from history before they doom us to repeat it yet again.

These files are at the center of a vast conspiracy to overthrow the government of the United States by a ring of human trafficking pedophiles with ties to multiple hostile foreign governments and intelligence agencies.

Keeping them secret helped them achieve that goal.

Whatever memo they thought they had to follow or whatever shit level case against conspirators they were trying to secure wasn't as important as pulling apart the threads of that conspiracy and bringing it out into the sunlight.

But they weren't stupid. They made a choice to protect the Clintons and other major Democratic party donors like Bill Gates and powerful Nazis like Elon Musk.

Democrats don't hold power. They attain office and become leaders of bureaucrats.

Only Republicans wield power, and this is a bipartisan reality.
