They "released the files" and handed out binders of Epstein documents to influencers. There was a ton of posting as though something monumental had happened. They were entirely comprised pre-existing publicly released information.

That's how much the admin respects the intelligence of its base and that's how much its loudest supporters think things through.

This is not true. This is in fact straightforwardly false.

You and the parent may be talking about two different events.

There was an initial release of "binders" to known rightwing influencers in a choreographed photo event. It was a predominantly bullshit release that pissed off the conspiratorial wing of MAGA and the Epstein Republicans (Massie et al). This happened in early 2025.

The blowback from this event resulted in Congress passing the Epstein Transparency Act in Nov. 2025.

The biggest dump of files came after this (tho congressmen are claiming most files are still unreleased) , which is what you might be referring to.

But feel free to argue your point either way.

Most have not been released and they didn’t even pay lip service to the ‘unredacted’ requirement.

The truth will come out eventually. When the US finally realizes how cringe their awful leader is. Like when you finally realize how your friends thought about your partner after the breakup.
