Cool why don’t you also ask why big tech and Senator Hawley is against the release of the Epstein files?

I’m starting to think there’s probably a growing rift between the traditionalists and the technologists, but both sides are in the Epstein files.
The traditionalists like Mike Johnson are hoping Trump stays in power, and the technologists are hoping JD Vance replaced him.
For all of his many faults, I think JD Vance might be one of the few people not in the files, but he’s definitely funded by people who are and that’s who’s interests he will always be looking out for.
I also think Peter Thiel believes as long as his team (Vance, Kahnna, Massie) are in control once the files are released, he can keep his own financial ties to Epstein from receiving too much attention.

Only reasons someone has to not release the files is because they are in them or were paid by someone in them. Either way we don’t want anyone in the government not willing to release them.
