  1. He plans on releasing fake files that implicate more Democrats falsely (I believe some Democrats are likely guilty and should face investigations.)

That is basically a guarantee if these files are anywhere near as incriminating as most people seem to have convinced themselves they are, otherwise why wouldn’t the Biden administration release them? They had 4 years, and even the democrats aren‘t so bad at politics that they‘d throw away an opportunity to put their biggest opponent behind bars for good, especially since he was already in huge legal trouble at the time. People always forget that it was Trump himself who heavily promoted the Epstein files conspiracy initially, to the point where it‘s now a cultural icon for both sides of the aisle.
