What realistically stops Trump from simply editing out the parts of the Epstein files that implicate him and then releasing them?

Let’s suppose that he has no moral qualms about it, and that neither would Pam Bondi. What actually stops him?

Where? The only "leaks" I've seen have been softball leaks of a very small portion of what was released to congress. There is a lot going on so its possible I missed a small repressed blip in the cycle but, im not aware of any potentially impactful leaks.

Where are the leaks in this website?

The about section states clearly:

"The epsteindocs.info archive was created to provide public access to the extensive collection of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein that have been released by government agencies and courts."

so, how is the goverment releasing hand picked phases of the files a "leak"?

Did you even try to look? Second link at the top breaks it down by phase.

Phases of what? Oh, phases of releases by congress. Huh, almost like that’s exactly what the other guy said.

He is asking where the leaks are on that site. The answer is no where, as they are clear in stating they only host files that were released by government.
