I am angry, like everyone else, that they are covering up the names. However, I know that any elected president only holds power for four years, or eight if re-elected.
The people on Epstein's client list will continue to have money and influence long after. Even if Trump had pressed forward, there’s a high chance powerful people would have retaliated against his family or his businesses. He is only gonna be "the most powerful person in the world" for less than 4 years. Once his term is over, it's over. Even being president is no protection. They have killled sitting presidents too. It's disappointing but not surprising; no politician is above the powers that be.
I agree it would have been the same even if the Democrats had won. There are significant interests and powers above the White House protecting this. If Trump hesitated last time with the JFK files, when anyone involved was likely elderly, he is, of course, going to hesitate with names so powerful and influential that they could literally shake the entire system.
It's not a list of nobodies, but legitimate figures who own pieces of the world and might even have more wealth than entire countries. This just goes to prove that corruption exists in all parties, and some people truly are above the law.
