Bill O’Reilly says Trump isn’t dropping the Epstein files because too many innocent people would get caught in the blast, and the media would destroy them without caring about the truth. Trump said “The media doesn't care about context, so you can't do that.”
He’s right. The media doesn’t care about context. They want blood, clicks, and chaos.
Think about it:
If they dump the whole list, it’s not going to be some clean “here’s everyone who was guilty.” It will be everyone who ever shook Epstein’s hand, flew on a plane, or took a check for some charity before they knew who he really was. Innocent people, dead in the water, no explanation that would save them once their names hit the headlines.
You, your dad, your neighbor, your pastor — anyone who ever crossed paths with him could get smeared forever, even if they did nothing wrong.
Because the truth doesn’t matter to these people. Context doesn’t matter. They’ll run the story, ruin lives, and move on to the next circus.
Here’s the other piece no one wants to say out loud:
Epstein was likely an intelligence asset. He was used to collect blackmail material on politicians, CEOs, scientists, and royals. That’s how he got away with it for so long. His job was to get them compromised and on tape so they could be controlled forever.
And that’s why Trump holding it back might be the only way to protect the innocent while we keep hunting the guilty in addition to potentially exposing very harmful information and top secret information that could help our adversaries.
