44. And if they're *never* released (which is what I suspect will happen)?

Well, it's giving people lots of time to speculate on what must be in them to merit the delay. The longer the wait, the more damaging the speculations become. That's what happens (ask Nixon).

In that respect, the refusal to release them may be worse politically for the Guardians Of Pedophiles. Just keep linking "Epstein" to "Trump" and/or "Republicans" at every opportunity.
