Why haven't the Epstein files been released in full?

Powerful, rich, "inner circle" scumbags trafficked and tortured children for decades. There are records.

The now POTUS, Donald Trump made a massive campaign promise about releasing the Epstein files in full. He didn't make good on that promise.Hmm

Why not?

He has too much to lose.

And he’s got Congress under his thumb. Probably has kompromat on them! Probably some of them in the files too.

His arrogance and narcissistic belief that he can do anything he wants & not have consequences knows no bounds.

He knew it would help him get elected to say to release them, nothing to hide.

He thought the files would disappear with his control of the DOJ & court system. The DOJ under Pam Bondi tried several times to say it's over & the FBI allocated manpower to scrub the files.

The main pushes now seems to be coming from Thomas Massie and Katie Phang.

I doubt even the maggots will be forgiving if it’s proven beyond a doubt that he is a pedo and trafficker of young women.

It's not Trump holding it up it's the DOJ. The main reason is the sheer amount of files that have to be gone through line by line. There are many victims and alleged victims who's detail's that have to be redacted to protect their privacy and there are on going investigations related to the files. It's not just as simple as 'releae the files'

This. The trafficked victims don't need a bunch of men getting their kicks over the salacious details. Those victims may have rebuilt their lives, moved on, had children who know nothing about their mum's history. They are entitled to some privacy.

And evidence has to be processed carefully, piece by piece. Suspects interviewed following due process in order to secure convictions. Throwing the whole lot into the public domain without thought benefits no-one.

The files aren't there for entertainment, and DT was talking through his backside when he said they would be published in full. The man is a loud mouthed ignorant prat.
