Rest Assured, He's There

I don't know the context of the following statement from Morning Joe's Joe Scarborough, what may have preceded his remark or followed his remark. And the stupid may have been removed from his brain later in the segment. He remarked

So one of the great mysteries all along in this- no what Donald Trump is hiding, not what did he do, deh, deh, deh, deh- why if he's not in these files, which all reporting says he's not, why is he so obsessed on blocking access to the files? Is he trying to protect somebody?

BREAKING🚨: Joe Scarborough on the newly released Epstein files containing nothing incriminating about President Trump:

"One of the biggest puzzles for me—and many others—is that despite reporting on this for quite some time, Donald Trump doesn't appear on Epstein's list.… pic.twitter.com/JB5snr2XuE

That "somebody" may be Donald Trump himself- worse, it may be a donor. That donor could be directly related to Russia, Saudi Arabia, China or another nation, and the President's connection to him (or them) may be a national security threat. If the association does not have foreign implications, it nevertheless may reveal that Trump is tied to a donor who controls him.

Donald may be protecting Melania Trump in a matter related to her immigration to this country or to her personal past. Rumor has it that she was not, ahem, a virgin when she met Donald. That would prove extremely embarrassing, though that would be the least among possible revelations in the Epstein files.

Trump may have been involved in laundering money for Jeffrey Epstein. One of the documents released on December 23 referred to internal FBI communications following Epstein's arrest in July, 2019 which "asks about the status of what it refers to as '10 co-conspirators," with the response heavily redacted. Trump may have been one of the ten, though there is no evidence that he is.

Nonetheless, Trump may have been involved, directly or indirectly, in the sex trafficking activities of Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell Or he may simply have been a client, cheerily having consensual and/or forced sex with numerous women, possibly including juveniles. And his sex may not have been restricted to females, given the (figuratively) patented Trump dance simulating a sexual act while the onetime gay anthem "YMCA"  plays. 

Or it may be a combination of two or more of those items.  The point is, as John Oliver would put it, that we don't know.  The vast majority of the files have not been released (at least not yet) and a tremendous amount which has been disclosed has been heavily redacted.

Notwithstanding Scarborough's remark, there is likely no Epstein "list."  Donald Trump does "not appear on Epstein's list" because, as far as we know, there is no actual list.

Scarborough should know this. He should know also that not all reporting says he's not in the files. Rather, the "reporting" is that no one has accused Trump of breaking any laws.  Nor has he been accused of specific wrongdoing. And that's because

According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, Attorney General Pam Bondi and her deputy Todd Blanche informed President Donald Trump in May that his name appeared multiple times in the government's files on Jeffrey Epstein that the Department of Justice and the FBI reviewed.

The officials told Trump of their plan not to release any additional documents, the report says, because the material contained child pornography and the personal information of victims.

Maybe, but the odds are that the other reason included the most important to the Justice Department- the repeated invocation of the name "Donald Trump." Those odds are roughly the same as those of the Houston Texans making the NFL playoffs this season. Have patience- it takes a long time to excise the name of a former businessman, actor, and current President when documents are saturated with his name.

But we don't know for sure. We don't know because the Trump Justice Department has been balking all along at releasing the files. And the odds that this is unrelated to Donald Trump being involved in highly unsavory, if not illegal, behavior are approximately equal to the Indianapolis Colts entering the playoffs.
