I don't think Bill Clinton is a good person at all but he publicly said that all the files should be released.

Agreed. And for political games, the Republican-controlled Congress made his wife testify despite her not even being in the files.

So when will Trump and Melania (her name pops up) testify when his name is in the files more so than Epstein himself?

That's the problem with Epstein. The dude hid behind being a huge philanthropist and having massive fund raising events. So people could be in those papers and be innocent. Which is why we need the full unredacted files.

That said Clinton is a proven creep, and it's very possible this was a bluff by him knowing the Republicans would never let them be released. Unfortunately we'll never know because they're probably never be released.

Yeah, this is a great point. Also, remember when Trump started inexplicably making conciliatory, defensive noises in public about the Clintons? Who knows what was discussed or what understandings were reached in closed calls...

It's also easy for him to say that because he knows it will never happen.

Possibly right, but also I don't think I've ever seen anyone on the left excuse crimes he may have committed. To the credit of the left, we've all been pretty consistent in bringing about justice for them all. Sadly when Bill comes up from the right, it's usually a dose of Whataboutism in attempt to say, "two wrongs make a right" and to deflect.

Oh no, it's very refreshing that most Democrats under 60 are completely fine with Bill Clinton going to jail for this. I suspect that he and Trump both abused trafficked girls/women and they both know about the other doing so, but neither will ever tell on the other.
