Well folks, the world has officially gone insane: Trump has signed to release the Epstein files. Admittedly, it will still be a month before we get them, but it happened. So let's all put on our tinfoil hats and spout our crazy theories as to what will be in them as we count down the days until they are available to the public, with all the glorious changes they will inevitably make to them in order to further their own interests.

HE WHAT?!?! I thought he didn't want to do that?! Why would he sign, if he was against them being released? I don't get politics T-T

The only reason I can think of is that he finally realized that the US is on the brink of a revolt, and he's hoping to earn at least some goodwill back. Although I personally believe that any tiny sliver of it that he meraculously earns will be torn to shreds by whatever is in the files.

Yeah you really don't lol. He was getting a lot of pressure from his party and having people breaking ranks in high profile ways, and it was well past the point where continuing to block the release just made it look like there must be something even worse about him than anyone could imagine in there.

I still don't believe we'll get the full story, he did it this way so he could try to spin or control the fallout or abuse some loophole. I mean it's already a given he'll try to keep the spotlight on the Democrats and minimize or downplay anything involving himself just because that's what he's been doing about everything from day 1. And he can still at trust he has a whole news network and social media platform that are the only thing his main supporters ever look at ready to back any narrative or only report things that make him look favorable.

Although unlikely, it could also be that whatever he was most afraid of has already been released (maybe the "blowing Bubba" email), so he is no longer worried about the rest of it.

Alternatively, they could simply use other delay tactics, like shielding them because of the new investigations they just started into Clinton and other democrates mentioned. it is an optimistic view that we will see them in a month.

Yeah, I had wondered if that would allow them to use a legal loophole there, "oops, evidence in investugation, we'll just hang onto this for three years!" Since the Clinton thing had been announced right when the pressure really turned on.

Jews are still going to run the world and nothing is going to change.

Yup, it's all just a bunch of drama at the end of the day.

Released "with exceptions" and it won't be for another 30 days.

Yep. Isn't it just great how our government is able to hide whatever they don't like from the general public and make everything else illegal! (/sarc)

I expect it to omit everything Trump doesn't want to show, and to place a special emphasis on whatever his enemies might have done.
