This is a really stupid defense.
The previous administration never promised to release anything. As to why they didn't, probably because a combination of the sealed grand jury records and plea agreements made actual criminal indictments unlikely. So the only other reason would be for politics, or just getting every available fact out there regardless of what could be done about it.
But Biden didn't campaign on releasing the Epstein files. And the dems already knew (and lets be honest, so did you guys) that Trump would be implicated in them.
But Trump most certainly did campaign on them, and then some. And you kids cheered daddy on every step of the way. You told us we should all be really worried, and that trump was gonna expose everyone. We sat by and laughed at the idea that it would ever happen. Daddy even staged a shitty little teaser release, where he got a bunch of those retards that fill your algorithm to pick up a dud of report he pushed out of the WH.
But then one day donny heard his name was all over those files. We all knew it, but now they were in a pickle. They had promised all the dipshits like you that they were gonna drop everything. But now daddy was gonna look like best friends with a pdfile, at best, and an actual pdfile at worst. So he told you all to sit down and shut the fuck up. Told you you were really MAGA unless you forgot about all his promises and just did what you're told.
And you went right along with it, like the good little dog you are. Trump knew you would. He's been saying it for years. And now we get to watch you try to save face by pretending it's all of us who's been duped because we didn't do something we never promised to do in the first place, or something.
It ain't working. Now go clean a bedpan.
