Unless they release verifiably unredacted/unedited documents (and I'm not sure whether/if verifably unredacted/unedited documents are possible in this circumstance) I'm not going to believe they aren't holding things back out of self preservation anyhow.
The worst possible time for anything like this to be released is during the Trump admin, because now I have to apply an extra layer of skepticism.
I don't even have to go to a conservative sub to know they are or will handwave away his presence on the flight logs, and I know nothing worse is going to be released about Trump or any Trump ally, so what's even the point aside from a witch hunt for all Trump's enemies who somehow will be on the list?
To be clear, I'm sure that Democrats and a disappointingly long list of non-politicians are on that list too, and they should all see the light of day.
They are releasing it now so the base forgets about it in two to four years.
Look at them overachieving when they only need to worry about memories like goldfish.
Well, also the flight logs alone doesn't mean much. It's certainly suspicious, but it's not damning. There was more than one reason to associate with Epstein.
You need more than just flight logs. The suspect would have to say something about "he likes them young, like me" or something similar.
Yeah, you'd need something like Trump saying that he liked to surprise the young contestants at the Trump Beauty Pagents by opening the doors of the changing rooms while the girls were naked.
Oh, he did say that? Oh. He also talked about flying on his private jet with Epstein and some of the girls to the pagents? Oh.
From what I remember the last time this list was circulated, this is the entire flight log of a private pilot who flew to Epstein's island among other places. So being on the log doesn't even mean you knew Epstein, just that you used the same pilot.
He's already said that he will not release this information. I'm not sure why this is surprising anyone. They're releasing stuff that was already out there. None of this is new and there won't be anything new at least until the next administration if ever.
At this point the document could be doctored, then released.
That's essentially what I expect is happening, and it's going to be difficult to convince me otherwise.
