and I think it's the files that are the issue, not any specific "list"; however, I believe that there is a much deeper scandal to uncover involving Russian meddling and I suspect that Trump was working with Epstein to develop "kompromat" on others, giving him the mysterious power he seems to now have over Republicans and other elites. Sure, it may be scandalous to show that Trump had relations with underage girls, but the much bigger scandal is that Trump benefitted from this deep operation giving Trump, and probably Putin as well, vast political leverage.
