And if convicted, Trump would pardon him immediately.

My fear is this Admin has been changing names in the files...removing Republicans and adding Democrats. Though adding Obama would be really dumb since it's not believable at all.

What if the ones not wanting to release the files are just buying more time to have the documents scrubbed of Republican names?

Unfortunately, I agree. There's already a poll of just Republicans that showed almost half said they wouldn't care if Trump was involved with Epstein. They just have no morals, empathy or sympathy at all. If you can't draw the line at pedophilia, there likely isn't a line.
