7. Being in the files, is not evidence of a crime. Biden is a good man, he would not have released information like this

just for political gain. Biden wanted to return things to normal. Let the justice department be independent.
It was trump and his minions that continuously campaigned on releasing the files, inciting their base about the Clintons and Democrats being pedophiles.
If Merrick Garland knew that there was evidence of crimes and did nothing - he has a lot of explaining to do. Matter of fact, a lot of people, starting with Bill Barr and everyone that worked on the case have a lot of explaining to do. Prosecutors only bring cases they think they can win. My guess is that whatever is in there, is more of an embarrassment than hard evidence of a crime.

trump wants people to believe that epstein was a mere acquaintance, but they were very good friends. Even if there is no evidence of him abusing minors, whatever is in there is embarrassing for him. Michael Wolff said Epstein showed him pics with topless girls - he does not say the girls were minors. If these girls were 18 yrs old, there is no crime. It would still be an embarrassment.
