6. You're likely to be very disappointed if/when the "Epstein files" actually are released.

There is currently no public information proving that the Federal Government is even in possession of some of the items you mention. Some items - Absolutely YES; others- Not so Much. Also keep in mind that Trump had absolutely nothing to do with the "sweetheart deal" that Acosta agreed to with Epstein. That was under the Justice Department of George W. Bush.

MAGAs are upset because they had convinced themselves that there was a treasure trove of information in the files implicating powerful Democrats. Of course, that was stoked by Trump and others on the right. Thus, it is ironic now that many on the left have similarly convinced themselves that there is a treasure trove of of information implicating Trump. That despite there being no public proof of exactly what the Government is in possession of AND the Democrats have NOT stoked those rumors. I'm not saying there is no information implicating Trump in the files. I honestly don't know. I DO suspect there is some "incriminating" evidence against Trump in the files. I'm just saying people are setting themselves up to be disappointed if their expectations aren't met, which inevitably will lead to many more conspiracy theories about Trump.
