The Trump administration has come under mounting pressure from the president’s make America great again (Maga) base to release files on the case, including a supposed list of Epstein’s influential clients.

Trump, in response, has variously dismissed the existence of such files or said they were invented by Obama and members of his administration, including James Comey, the former FBI director, and Joe Biden, vice-president in the Obama administration.

    Really? Is that a sentiment American liberals really hold? Do you mean from Democrat politicians or from the general populace?

    For the former, I think they’ve more than demonstrated their inability to hold anyone to account. From Biden nominating Obama’s milquetoast, consensus Supreme Court pick to Attorney General, who proceeded to seemly slow walk Donald Trump’s multiple federal prosecutions just long enough to make them all irrelevant and eventually dropped. To the current Congressional Democratic leadership who seem to think leadership is just empty gestures and who appear to have learned nothing from dealing with Republican obstructionism, when the shoe was on the other foot.

    After the last six month though, I do have faith in Trump ability to exact revenge on this enemies and to get away with things previously considered to be an egregious overreach or illegal.
