Didn't the Democrats have access to the Epstein files and videos along with the Republicans at various times since they started
being gathered?
Why don't/didn't THEY expose the "missing minute"? If Democrats had access to this video, wouldn't they have made copies and/or had
seen what seems to be missing now?
Shouldn't they KNOW what's on that tape? Why or why not?
If there's "dirt" on someone Republican, WHY didn't the Democrats release all of the Epstein files and videos when THEY had control
of them?
If you think Epstein didn't kill himself, then WHY did the Democrats cover it up "too"?
Here's a general timeline of when Epstein files were gathered and when significant portions became public:
2005-2008: Initial investigations by Palm Beach police and the FBI began in 2005, leading to Epstein's arrest and a controversial
plea deal in Florida in 2008. Files from these law enforcement investigations would have been gathered during this period.
2015-2017: Civil lawsuits, most notably the one filed by Virginia Giuffre against Ghislaine Maxwell, led to extensive discovery
processes where many documents, depositions, and other pieces of evidence were collected. These documents were often under seal or
heavily redacted at the time.
2019: Jeffrey Epstein was arrested on new federal sex trafficking charges in New York. This initiated a new federal criminal
investigation, leading to the gathering of additional evidence and files by federal authorities. He died in jail in August 2019.
June 2023: Thousands of pages of records shedding light on Epstein's final days in jail were obtained by The Associated Press,
including emails, psychological evaluations, and internal reports.
January 2024: A federal court in New York ordered the unsealing of a large trove of documents that had been collected as evidence
in Virginia Giuffre's civil lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell. This led to the public release of hundreds of pages of previously
sealed or redacted documents, which is what many people refer to when they talk about "the Epstein files" being released.
February 2025 (recent context): The Justice Department under Attorney General Pam Bondi released a "first phase of declassified
Epstein files, " though reports indicated these largely contained documents already in the public domain. The DOJ also stated that
no "client list" was found.
In summary, the gathering of "Epstein files" began with police investigations in 2005 and continued through various criminal and
civil proceedings over nearly two decades. The most significant public release of court-related documents occurred in January 2024.
So... if the democrats had access to these files and videos, WHY haven't they exposed anyone of importance?
If you're naive enough to think that only Republicans are being protected, I have some swampland...

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into
three distinct phases or stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm,
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting
solely of hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received
positively by TDSers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a
punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in
reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
