    How possible is it this is to hide, distract, cover the Epstein files release?

    Would releasing the Epstein files show that trump is a traitor, criminal, and illegitimately elected to the presidency and must be removed from office?

    Would this show the extent the Republicans are covering for him because it would make them look bad?

    Would it show that our current executive branch and everyone nominated by trump should not be in their positions and any decisions and policies enacted should be reversed?

    Would the conservative voter base see the true colors of who they voted for and the entire Republican party covering for this? Would this cause a little bit of chaos?

    Sounds like a can of beans!
