Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”

Because it's mutually assured destruction and they will protect each other no matter what. It's above "politics". That's the same reason Democrats defended Clinton and didn't release the same files to attack Trump. And they can't just release some "random" names when everyone knows it involves "elites".

Which is funny when Trump says Democrats cooked up the files and included themselves in them.

I can see it that way too I guess. I'm just thinking that the first one to drop the files (real or fake) has the credibility. Or at least enough "credibility" to punish their opponents.
