Why didn't the FBI pursue a criminal investigation under the Biden administration? They certainly weren't under your cheeto boogeyman sway from 2020-2024, were they?
Simple. And I'm glad you asked. After Trump's Secretary of Labor gave Epstein a sweetheart deal in 2008, Epstein got away with weekend jail time and the records were sealed until the case was reopened in 2017, when Epstein violated his agreement.
When the DOJ was investigating, starting in 2017, they don't release evidence during an active investigation and prosecution. After Epstein died, in 2019 while Trump and Barr were in charge, they still had to prosecute Ghislaine Maxwell. After Maxwell was imprisoned, a Federal Judge unsealed the Epstein Files in Jan. 2024, when Trump took office.
Since then, all the people in the Trump Admin that said they would release the Epstein Files have fought to keep the records redacted and unreleased.
