People are concerned about the hesitance he’s had for actually doing anything. He campaigned saying he’d release the names, then has proceeded not to do so, tried to deflect and say it’s a non-issue that people should forget about, that there were no other people involved beyond Maxwell and Epstein. For someone that claims to have nothing to hide, and was previously friends with Epstein (in itself not incriminating of course) he’s doing a piss poor job of convincing people he wasn’t involved in things with Epstein.
This shouldn’t be a partisan issue, everyone who was involved should be prosecuted, the fact no progress has been made since 2019 is on both the Democrats and Republicans heads - any idiot can see there is a cover up going on, and the only reasonable explanation seems to be that both sides will be damaged in equal measure by the fallout - for all Trump’s protestations of being outside the establishment, he sure does look and sound like an establishment guy
No disagreement there. While it’s possible that Trump himself might not be - but also might be - guilty of any wrongdoing in this particular case, he sure acts like someone who is. And if he’s not protecting himself, then he’s protecting other powerful people around him who may have dirt on him, which they can use as leverage to stop him from throwing them under the bus without taking himself down in the process.
But that’s a bit beside the point. My original argument was about refraining from accusing him of being a child rapist on insufficient evidence, no matter how much it might serve someone’s political agenda or how satisfying it might feel to finally see him face consequences. If there’s undeniable proof that he is guilty of what he’s being accused of here, then by all means he should be prosecuted. But I’m advocating for due process. These are extremely serious accusations that should not be spread as facts when there’s no way to know - no matter who we’re talking about.
