Trump isn't pulling a 12D underwater Tibetan chess move with the Epstein list. That list was a poison chalice from the very start.
Everyone is pointing at the fact releasing it would essentially demolish the world order and ruin both sides, but I think another reason he won't ever release it is fear.
Not of being outed or assassination, but of Israel. The list would not only show people who raped countless children but who facilitated the blackmail and who Epstein worked for.
If Israel is outed as the main source of all this political blackmail it will cause a large chunk of the pro-israeli side to turn on them, and embolden the muslim affiliated left even more, so it would spell the doom of any remaining good will the world has towards them.
I can honestly imagine that Bibi flat out told Trump if he did release the list a mystery nuke would level NYC. I mean, they pretty said as much with the whole "Today it's Tel Aviv, tomorrow it's New York" shit Bibi was talking about.
