I can't get too excited about the Epstein Files.  The nasty old man is a convicted felon because he concealed hush money payments to an adult-film star and was found liable in a different suit for sexual assault.  It shouldn't surprise anyone if he's listed in the files as a john.  The majority of the voters knew all this but voted for him so it's fairly obvious it can't be that important to them either.   As for other names of elected officials in the files, I would assume they would have been leaked by now unless he could use it as 'bargaining' in getting that person's support.    It was the nasty old man himself that started all of the ruckus when he said Epstein's death was suspicious - maybe Bill Clinton killed hm - all of the information on Epstein needed to be released.  It isn't the only conspiracy theory he's put forward:   He still swears he won the 2020 election (he didn't);  He was adamant that President Obama wasn't born in the U.S. (the birth certificate shows Hawaii);  He said Ted Cruz's father had ties to Lee Harvey Oswald (later he admitted that he said it but didn't really believe it);  Asserted that President Biden was controlled by "People that you've never heard of, people that are in dark shadows" (Biden's aides and cabinet members have all been working in politics for a long time);  Said that Justin Trudeau was really the son of Fidel Castro (what?);  Claimed a plane full of  "thugs in dark uniforms" had recently flown from one unidentified city to another in order to start riots (well, isn't that definitive); During a presidential debate was outraged that immigrants in Springfield, Ohio are eating people's pets  (the Springfield police department said they had nothing substantiating this statement and Ohio's governor called the claim "garbage");   Blamed Speaker of the House Pelosi for the Jan. 6th "heinous attacks" (he quickly changed his tune and pardoned all of the people who smashed into and wrecked havoc on the capital building calling them "patriots").   I could go on.  (Remember all of the crazy stuff he said at briefings during the Covid pandemic?)  I don't even care that he cheats when golfing in his own tournaments.  What does bother me is why people continue to take the crazy stuff he says as fact.
