[QUOTE="fishtm2001, post: 6170979, member: 54375"] "Of course, Trump’s own knowledge of his interactions with Epstein doesn’t depend on unverified hearsay. He knows about what he did and didn’t do with Epstein. One has to assume this report set off alarm bells. We do know that after this meeting, all talk from the administration about making the Epstein files available ended. It was in interviews in mid-May that FBI Director Kash Patel and his deputy, Dan Bongino, started publicly walking back their earlier promises to reveal new facts about the Epstein matter. The [I]Journal[/I] report also claims that Justice Department officials told Trump in their meeting that they “didn’t plan to release any documents related to the investigation of the convicted sex offender because the material contained child pornography and victims’ personal information.” But this doesn’t pass the smell test. Justice and the FBI could easily withhold all the child pornography. Justice and the FBI could redact victims’ personal information. And then they could release the Epstein documents."
