Not saying this happened under Biden, but why would those files be released when they could be used to prosecute those in there? It was the Republicans and more specific MAGA pushing for a release and making it an election topic. At least for me (European), the list, if it exists in this form, is something you base investigations on. You gain nothing from releasing it to the public. But Republicans used it to feed their fringe conspiracy voter base, so the question is not exactly “why don’t they release it”, but rather “why don’t they release it after talking about it for years and then putting the radio hosts who talked about it into key administration positions just to after claiming the files are on their desk stating that they don’t actually exist while simultaneously damaging people on release”. And it’s not like any potential list came up during Biden’s admin. Epstein was arrested and died under Trump.
I’d also think that some people have some kind of Dead Man Switch for releasing the relevant documents (if they exist).
Personally, I’m not a fan of vigilante justice, regardless of the crime, and this is certainly what this would lead to. But the big scandal is actually that there seemed to be no investigation into people apart from Epstein and Maxwell; this is the question people should be asking in my opinion: why has nobody else been prosecuted?
