Trump says the Epstein files were created by Obama etc al... So the blackmail targets are people Obama needed to control.
Think about it: Our side isn't evil. We don't do Ditty and Epstein things. We don't have much blackmail material on the Democrats. Our Republican side are the people on the Epstein and Diddy Lists.
Who would Obama et al need to control? Not friends. Enemies. Patriots or independents in positions of power.
Therefore the blackmail targets are our people. Or at least who we think are our people... Republicans who have been disappointing us for years.
Except maybe now they're not disappointing... Trump wants to protect them. Flies caught in the web possibly by covert drugging etc... like Diddy was doing.
Trump:
"Why didn't these radical left lunatics release the Epstein files?"
"If there was anything in there that could hurt the MAGA movement, why didn't they use it?"
They didn't use it publicly because that would destroy the blackmail asset value. They kept it as leverage to use when needed. It is a portfolio of Republicans that have disappointed us when the chips were down over the years but may be cooperating with Trump now.
Remember both sides have the leverage. The blackmailed Republicans are currently generally doing what Trump wants. They are counting on Trump to protect them. If they think Trump will turn on them by releasing the Epstein files then they will flip to the benefit of the bad guys side.
The public image would be that Republicans are a bunch of pervert crooks etc. because its only Republicans who are exposed. Republicans will be reviled by the electorate.
The bad guys may think they can wait out Trump. The assets would still be useful post Trump if they are still in positions of power.
Or they could release it now. Trump doesn't want them to release it. So he does what they want.
Who always gets what they want from Trump?
Not the bureaucracy (DOGE cuts).
Not the rioters (jail).
Not the illegals and gangs (deportation).
Not the people running other countries (tariffs).
Not the blue mayors or governors (lawsuits and cuts).
It's Israel.
Israel is blackmailing the Republican Party.
Remember Epstein bragged that he co-founded the Clinton Foundation and Epstein was an Israeli operation. Hollywood is run by the same people who did the Ditty operation.
Remember how Trump severely attacked anyone who questioned the bombing of Iran with mockingbird-like media saying "they aren't MAGA and never were".
Zelensky publicly calls for Ukraine to become "a big Israel" and suddenly Trump is giving them weapons again (https://t.me/geopolitics_prime/53490).
Remember JFK was killed and LBJ gave Israel what they wanted (nukes and no foreign agent filing disclosures).
It's time we recognized that the Democrat Party is to a large extent an Israeli operation. With this blackmail perhaps the Republican Party is too.
I think there's some important nuances here that need to be drawn out.
-I don't think many pedes on GAW have any love for the GOP. Many of us detest the GOP more than the Dems simply because it's the GOP that SHOULD be fighting for our principles and they don't.
-Nobody on GAW is going to care if Republican POS' are jailed for partaking in the sick evil that Epstein trafficked in.
-Okay, here's the important one. On the dangerous assumption that we are going to get truth on this subject someday, it is very, very important that we understand the nuance between the two types of people that got caught up in Maxwell/Epstein's net:
Type #1: Evil piece of shit that was happily blackmailed because it allowed them to engage in the sick, depraved shit they wanted to do anyway, or happily did so as it allowed them to claim more power/money/etc.
Type #2: CIA Brownstone Operations go back to at least the 60's. Often these operations consist of multiple phases to entrap the victim. These have taken place at the many parties for the D.C. & military elite. Attractive female assets are deployed around the target, often over several parties. Sometimes underage assets who LOOK of age are eventually used. Drugs are often used without the target's knowledge. Very feminine looking young men are often used as assets. Sometimes this process may take multiple parties, but the goal is to eventually put the target (A politician, powerful bureaucrat, military general, etc) in a private room and into a compromising situation where extremely high end recording equipment has already been set up.
Many, many good men have been entrapped this way over the years. When your enemy has unlimited funds, unlimited assets, technology & chemistry on their side, honorable people don't stand a chance.
Other times it's far less artful and far uglier. The family is taken and the target is forced to do something compromising on camera with their wife & children under threat.
I would hope everyone would agree that there is an enormous distinction between Types 1 & 2. I have often thought that this distinction would make the release of the Epstein data extremely difficult, or at a minimum, extremely time consuming to process before releasing in order to differentiate between those who were victims and those who were willing "victims".
