I saw some fag on YouTube mention this, but what if they just used it as leverage to get the bill passed?

>hyped it up during/after the election, wouldn't make sense if he's on the list
>bbb gets signed
>epstein deal is shadow dropped that weekend
>further questions are shut down

Is there any weight behind this?

>>936956406 (OP)
sounds like pure cope

>>936956406 (OP)
It's been political since it happened, anyone who thinks the "list" was ever going to be public is a pure rube. Look at how long it took them to release information about 9/11and the lack of actual information they released. The public isn't meant to know and never will.

>>936956406 (OP)
I do not think the list is the headline, the death of a political prisoner on us soil would scare any potential defector.

I suspect some seriously shady shit is going down with brics and preventing a defector from leaving brics is the return from this constant ongoing drip feed of this embarrassment/lesson.

>>936956552
Agreed, but this wouldn't be as big a deal if it wasn't paraded around just a couple months ago. I don't understand why else they would do that, unless they had good intentions going in and became compromised at some point?

>>936956552
This. I knew since before the election it wasn't going to get released and never really cared about it (look how long it took for the JFK files) It all sounds like now it is complete bitching and complaining. Same goes for the 9/11 and UFO files. It will probably take at least another 50 years to get any other information.

>>936956794
humiliation ritual, unironically

>>936956960
How do you mean?

>>936957026
What else would you call it when they hype it up, claim they had it and it will be released soon and then claim it never existed, when everyone knew it was never going to be released.

>>936957177
I don't know man, I think there's some sort of motive behind it. Maaaaybe it could've just been to make the administration look bad, but the Democrat politicians have been relatively quiet on this as well. Idk

>>936957332
There's a few reasons politicians on both sides could be relatively mum about it. It could be seen as a fringe theory that isn't worth the time talking about, there is a whole lot of powerful guilty people(politicians/donors) on it or we can't do anything that could possibly damage "our greatest ally".

>>936957442
Well then why make a big deal about it in the first place, see? One would think that if you don't want eyes on a topic, you wouldn't talk about it on the news for six months, no?

>>936957706
to humiliate people and try to make them forget about it through shame with some sorth of pavlovian conditioning

>>936957854
I don't buy that, it's too much effort for relatively little gain, and too high a risk to blow up in their face like it is now. Plus the government's go to memory hole tactic has always been deny, deny, deny

>>936958024
>it's too much effort for relatively little gain
It's not though in the scheme of things. IMHO it was likely brought back to take eyes off Texas, and even though it blew up more than they wanted, they will now have a bunch of people that once believed in the list argue that there never was a list. They forgot about how much they hyped it, or thought people would forget. also I think they overestimated the ability of influencers to deflect away from it.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Even in the government, they don't just not consider these things. If what you said about Texas is indeed true, this is like dropping a nuke to distract from a little skirmish down the road.
But even then, when Trump was asked about it, he mentioned Texas to distract from Epstein...

There's been a bit of cuts to the workforce, and a lot of loyalist idiots installed.
>But even then, when Trump was asked about it, he mentioned Texas to distract from Epstein
probably because he realized how much of a fuck up it was after the fact, and people still cared a lot, it would be easier to convince people that they were doing the lord's work in Tx, but even that's been getting undercut a bit over the past couple days(the delays)

>>936956406 (OP)
This argument is biased propaganda aimed at preventing child molestation and discouraging pedophiles from having a hidden political voice.

>>936958991
I'm still not convinced by that, that just doesn't make any sense. They would have been better off just not talking about it at all in the first place, like the government has done and been criticized for before, and I think anyone can see that.

>>936959076
Yeah, that's kinda the point

>>936959639
>They would have been better off just not talking about it at all in the first place
You could say that about quite a few things so far in this administration, they like to "flood the zone" and hope people forget.
