  Because they’re assholes.

  Oh, you mean dems are assholes too…?

  Are you one of those ‘both parties are the same’ folks?

    I think you missed the point.

    Trump won’t release them because his name (and others in the GOP) is all over it and he could be facing actual prison time.

    The Democrats didn’t because…well, we know that Clinton at least was involved with Epstein. I’m sure many others were as well.

    Besides which, other powerful people outside of politics are likely to have put strong pressure on the US to keep them locked up (e.g. Prince Andrew).

    The problem isn’t one party or the other, and it’s not that “all parties are the same,” but in this particular case it IS almost guaranteed that too many people are named and shamed for any group in power to release them.

    It’s not just because they’re assholes, it’s because a significant portion of them are also pedophiles. Pedos protecting pedos.
