  • It’s possible they were protecting their own. You don’t release only the parts that implicate your opponents and leave out the parts that implicate your friends.

    I think it’s also possible there wasn’t any smoking gun that directly implicated anybody. Only loose associations to Epstein that we already were aware of.

    So if they did release it, Republicans wouldn’t believe anything in it that made them look bad, and Democrats wouldn’t care as they want a real smoking gun before they react. So it wouldn’t help in the election, and the release would have zero impact.

    Instead, let the next administration deal with it. With Trump now in charge, it really is a rock and a hard place. If there are “loose associations” that make him or his people look bad, and they are the ones to release it, Republicans would not be able to question its authenticity.

    Notice how Trump is now claiming Obama and Biden were manipulating the documents, which is why he won’t release it. This is giving his people a reason to be skeptical even if he does release something that looks bad.

    TLDR, either Democrats are implicated and Biden was protecting, or Biden felt it was better to let the next administration deal with it, especially if the next administration was Trump.

    Right, I got that wrong. Scandalous makes it sound like it’s more import than it is. Most people sharing these memes had no idea this company existed and are not even thinking about legal ramifications.

    Their reaction in the video is priceless. Lead singer commenting is hilarious. All the other details is the cherry on top.

    It’s not a big deal, just a fun story that blew up. Guy pops up on Jumbotron, looks horrified cause he knew he was cheating. Lead singer even comments on the fact that they’re having an affair. Turns out he was a CEO and that was his secretary head of HR (tail as old as time). Internet loves it.

    Edit: the video if you haven’t seen it. Their reaction really was wild.

    Edit 2: HR boss, not secretary.
