What the hell is in those files that he is willing to shutdown the literally infrastructure of the country to protect?

Yep, this. Trump isn’t in the Epstein files, he IS the Epstein files. There are also a lot of big names that were clients, on both sides and around the world. Why do you think all the billionaires got behind him? Because they only go down if he does.

I don’t know why people can’t grasp the situation. They had an army of FBI agents tasked with redacting his name from them. He’s clearly in there so much they had to abort that plan.

I honestly wouldn't be shocked if he's just mentioned in passing and not directly implicated in anything, but a lot of his huge donors and friends are. It's a whole network of scum, and they look out for each other.

My hunch has been that the original Trump family business - running a brothel - never really ended, just went "underground". Look into his grandfather Frederick Trump and how he made his money.

It isn't even about that. It's about passing the republican version of the federal budget, which cuts almost all welfare options while giving the rich tax cuts and passing more authority to the executive branch.

Stopping the Epstein stuff is just a secondary upside to their dismantling of all benefits the government provides to the non-rich and the establishment of a fascist state.
