      Important to remember what happened to them, esp. Assange.

      But I’m not sure about it; they both, so it was argued, had endangered national security, military and all sorts of secrets etc.

      This isn’t the case for the Epstein files, they’re all about influential “beacons of morality” partaking in depravity and debauchery.

      Sure, the US would try to put a national security spin on it…

        Well, don’t forget “national security” has always been a euphemism for protecting the interests of the wealthy.

        And they’d succeed. I stand by the only reason Biden didnt go after Trump is it would set the precedent of Presidents being held accountable for all the war crimes they commit.

        Obama was notorious for locking up whistle blowers, you think Trump would be any better?
