I don't think it's that simple. As I've said before, it's a non-partisan grenade. You release them, everyone in the vicinity is going to get hit. And we know some prominent Dems are in the vicinity (e.g. Clinton). I think that's the only reason it hasn't been released yet. Neither party is willing to suffer the damage that would occur to them just to damage the other party.

I find that incredibly unlikely - especially since you get to control what you release, if you're in charge. Biden could easily have released just the information or documents that implicated Trump. It's not like there's a single, indivisible "file" that has to be released either entirely or not at all. There's likely hundreds of files containing thousands of documents. Heck, you don't have to "release" anything - just open an investigation based on information in the files, and announce you're doing it without publishing the documents that supported that.

Nor, honestly, would Joe Biden or Kamala Harris really care about blowing up the Clintons - or anyone else that might have had contact with Epstein - if it mean taking out Trump.

So, no. The most likely explanation is not the "grand conspiracy of probably hundreds of people from both parties at this point" one. It's that there's nothing interesting in the records of the Epstein case, nothing different or more illuminating than what we already know. Which is what always happens when these things get opened up - nothing juicy in the JFK records, no bombshells in the MLK files, etc.

The most likely explanation is that the entire notion of a global conspiracy of rampant pedophilia among the powerful and connected of both parties being concealed with deliberate malice and the active participation of the very highest levels of federal law enforcement is just....false. There's nothing there. There's no great victory to be won on behalf of horribly abused children by bringing the rich and powerful to justice (finally!), because there's no there there.
