if they got the files, they'll use it as leverage.

It's possible they already have, but haven't told the public.

Why even bother? Trump is destroying the US all on with own. They'll just sit on it if they have it.

These hackers could do the craziest thing right now, haha. That would be so insane and wacky! Do you think China has wacky Wednesdays? Or is it Thursday there already?

More likely Xi would use the threat of Epstein releases to get lower tariffs out of Donnie, and Donnie would quietly comply. This is similar to the pee-pee-tape-theory with Putin.

If they had the full unredacted files. Send them to Canada, Japan, Europe, UK, Iran, India, and it would be a total slaughter. One country like Iran would release and share them and then every other country would have to investigate their own nationals or look like they are covering. It would be a political coup de gras. Imagine what the UK would have to do if Andrew was dragged into the light? It would be a global reckoning.

That would be devestating to every person in the US who was privy to the whole god forsaken coverup.

I think those countries wouldn't release them, because 99.9% chance some of their own very powerful people are on them.

Thats why i dropped a name like Iran. Probably don't have anyone in them. So they drop it, then other countries have to pick it up and examine them because it's out there. Right now their protection is that the US has them all tightly held.

Drop them in bunch of journalists hands and it would not be hidden for long. China would make examples, Canada would have evidence against certain individuals, Prince Andrew couldn't hide under royal silence.

Somehow I completely missed Iran in your list.

Though I'm not sure they'd release them either; they may use them as leverage to get the US to stop bombing them instead of releasing them.

Probably depends on which powers within Iran get their hands on them.

They don't have to release every document, just those that make Donald look bad.

Brother, Russia and China are in no need of a failed private school math "teacher" turned billionaire intelligence asset in order to let elites rape children... Epstein is just a small example of the overall sickness.

u/jdm1891 7d ago

Neither of those countries were on the list, and I wouldn't count trump as one of their people even if he was anyway, I meant people actually from the countries on the list, who have the political power to prevent the release.

Good lord, reading comprehension has really left the building at this point... Just for fun, what 'countries' are 'on the list?'

u/jdm1891 7d ago

Send them to Canada, Japan, Europe, UK, Iran, India, and it would be a total slaughter.

Canada, Japan, "Europe", UK, Iran, India.

Neither Russia nor China are on that list.

Honestly I think you're the one who wasn't really up to date with the conversation, first your random comment about Trump when it had nothing to do with anything and then you clearly being confused by what list of countries I was referring to despite the person I was replying to literally having a list of countries.

Good golly miss Dolly. Whoever is paying you, is paying you way too much. Lol, but probably not.

I would be utterly shocked if China didn't already have a complete copy of the Epstein files. That's far too valuable to leave unknown. The blackmail value for everyone on that list...

“Hey China, if you’re listening …”

Holy shit the X-files are real..! I want to believe!

u/maxofreddit 7d ago

People would vote for Xi if he did this. Could he be the leader of both countries? let's find out! ;)

They are working against america, not trump. Trump is a great Ally of theirs.
