Not necessarily, Dem Politicians are by and large brainrotted by shit like "Institutional Trust," "Procedures," "Norms," and "Civility."

They'd all rather sit back and "Let the Justice Department do their jobs," telling us to "Trust the process," because that's "What's always been done." It was only after that process broke down and Trump was very clearly trying to quash anything Epstein related that Normie Dem Politicians started really talking about releasing the files. Had he not, the most we'd have gotten was calls for the DoJ to reopen the investigation.

Why do you think Biden's DoJ didn't do their jobs then?

[–] Macchi_the_Slime@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Any number of reasons ranging from the Evil and Cynical "Because all of them are trying to protect the traffickers," to the Pedestrian and Banal "Because once you believe that the institutions do their jobs competently it's easy to think that any time they didn't is just because there wasn't any 'job to do' so to speak."

Well we know there was a job to do given how many times Trump has shown up.

Yeah, the idea would be that people who hadn't looked at the files (Incompetent) trusted that the reason the people who had (Corrupt) hadn't charged anyone was because there wasn't anything to charge them with. Because their Precious Institutions are Generally Good and don't make mistakes like this.

So the lower level people in Biden's DoJ were covering up for pedophiles, and the leadership appointed by Biden didn't know?

Did Trump appoint all the DoJ rank-and-file?
