Okay, I changed my flair to a mango. It's kinda weird, though - Mangoes look a lot like penguins...
also mango-ed myself
Nobody said there are no "Epstein files," @ThunderClap .
What doesn't appear to exist is a meaningful "client list." At one point, it was thought that there was one. But after investigation, apparently nothing helpful or particularly revealing was uncovered.
But I believe there are plenty of Epstein "files." By the time somebody goes through the American judicial process, some files have happened.
But so what? If those files revealed anything horrible about President Trump, does anybody REALLY think the Biden Administration would have kept such things hidden away for years? If so, have you thought of perhaps purchasing a lovely bridge?
No, I don't think it's Trump who might be nervous about those files. But I won't guess who is. That would just be idle speculation, not informed observation.
a mango is just a peach
A downvote without a cogent explanation is like a car without a destination. It's like a raw pork chop without a kitchen. It's like a bishop with no unobstructed diagonal.
It just sits there, making us wonder: what's up?

Well I think it's pretty clear there is a client list, and they're really not doing a good job of covering it up. I think it's more likely than not that Trump is on the client list (it's no secret he was friends with Epstein) which is why he's trying to cover it up, and even if he's not, there are surely lots of powerful people on it. As for why Biden didn't release the files, I'm sure there are powerful people on both sides of the political spectrum on it, and who knows, maybe even Biden himself (he is a bit of a creep).
Anyway, I didn't reply because this isn't what this topic is about so I didn't want to hijack it.
Fair enough, @AsDaGo. Indeed, I didn't bring up Epstein either.
But keep in mind -- MANY famous people knew Epstein -- but Trump reportedly ended the acquaintance many YEARS ago. Remember, Trump doesn't even drink -- he actually seems to me to be a bit of a workaholic. I might even say he's a bit nerdy, although he DOES have a beautiful ex-model for a wife.
But my point remains -- I think if Epstein really COULD be used against Trump, it would have happened long ago. After all, everything but the kitchen sink was thrown at Trump over the last several years. It's not like those in power were trying to protect him.
And there really is no good answer to that, i think.

There is a simple answer which I already said: People in power on both sides of the political spectrum are on the list, so neither side wants to release it.
Oh, that isn't crucial, @AsDaGo -- some in Washington know how to "leak" parts of something when they wish to do so. But I agree, among those who will disagree with me, you are at least saying something sensible. Thanks.
By the way, there's NO way I'm trading hippopotamus for mango.
I don't believe there even IS a mango opening.
But there IS a hippopotamus opening. Oh, you bet there is!
And it's beautiful.
