Same thing that happened with the Panama Papers
The cynic in me says this.
And everyone just goes “welp” about all their bosses being sexual predators.
oh so the journalist that breaks the story gets obliterated by a car bomb? ok yeah makes sense
That’s the most likely thing to happen.
Had this same exchange with a friend and their response was “what’s that?” So yeah
The rule of law doesn’t apply to the rich and powerful so it doesn’t matter what happens with the actual files because there will never be any actual consequences
I think we are all just really curious to see how far the corrupted US elite ruling class can push that blatant corruption in our faces before the populists start agitating enough to get shot in large numbers in the streets by the goon squads.
As I understand it, there’s no such thing as “the epstein files” because everything that could be called that was already released. This is just the next in a long line of magical tricks that will finally get that dastardly drumpf for real this time!
But like, even if “the epstein files” is like a thousand hours of explicit videos of Trump sexually abusing children with his buddy Epstein, and even if the democrats successfully brought that into the light, nothing would happen. Trump would say “fake news” and the democrats would say “damn it he got away with it again” and life would go on.
It’s a depressing thought that nothing should happen but I think you’re right. I think if something would happen, just the suspicion of it would have already changed things.
If everything (really just full email archives and a list of individuals and what they could be charged with and the evidence) gets released and people lose plausible deniability, I’d expect most of the fallout to be concentrated in the MIT Media Lab and the whole Chomsky, Hawking and RMS sphere. That’s really the only place where Epstein associated with people who weren’t above the law. His finance connections are too rich to face consequences, politicians are non-starters, but academia is comprised of people who don’t have such privileges.
- Nothing. They’ll never be released.
-or-
- They’ll be released but ~75% will be redacted and Trump’s name won’t even appear once. Libs will yell and scream. DC democrats will do nothing. Trump will repeat bumper sticker-like slogans such as “Nothing important is missing.” GOP media will repeat the slogans ad nauseam and provide “explainers”. They’ll claim it’s proof of a witch hunt. Some GOP voters will be very angry for a while. But eventually they’ll get right back on the Trump Train.
Or they’ll be 100% released, Trump is all over it, to the point that he’s basically #3 in the whole operation, after Epstein and Maxwell, but absolutely nothing will happen after that.
And then the Democrats get crushed in the midterms due to their 100% inaction and 100% unwillingness to do anything. All the while TPB (TrumpPedoBear) merch sells like hotcakes.
pirate bay merch would go hard
I think it would be funny if the files revealed he was more more of a #1 or #2
Nothing.
they’ll continue to be used as a threat to keep powerful pedophiles in line
His supporter will say he’s not a pedo. The rest of us already knew he was a pedo. Nothing will happen
We will find out that both parties, on all levels of government, are made up of the most prolific sex criminals against children in the history of the world, and then… nothing will happen.
I think a bunch of stuff actually will get released. And it will stand as a monument to Americans’ ability to believe whatever the fuck they want about reality. There could be video evidence of Trump doing the most evil shit and at least one third of this country will truly believe it’s fake.
Look I’m not saying it’s gonna happen…but how incredible would it be if this is what finally destroys global capitalism?
Years of whatever
They won’t be released and they’ll become Russian propaganda once the democrats are back in charge in 2029.
Maybe I’m a cynic but probably nothing more than what’s already happened. Some British nonce loses his titles but none of the privilege, not much beyond that unless footage gets published and even then. People will claim it’s AI, it’s deepfake, it’s whatever, and the world moves on.
I really thought that it would cause something back when he was arrested for the second time and subsequently killed but I’ve been proven wrong time and time again.
