8. Trump also did not promise to release the Epstein files to help get himself elected

In fact he never talked about them except a couple times when directly asked in interviews, and even then he totally waffled and equivocated on his answer. Fox even misrepresented his answer the first time they presented the interview by cutting it off well before he finished answering (which became less and less of a commitment to do so as he spoke) and later had to come back and show the rest of it.

People act like its something he campaigned on and 'promised', but in reality, he did neither of those things. I'm sure he's afraid of what's in them but I suspect it's because he tried to blackmail Epstein over what he was doing cause Epstein had shit on Trump's dealings with the Russians. At minimum I'd bet there's evidence he knew EXACTLY what Epstein was doing, and said Jack about it to authorities. Hell he might've even lied to authorities
