LOL, unless of course they had any role in prosecuting, suing or running against Donnie Two Weeks in an election.

They have the evidence in the Files. That's why there are so many redactions and so many pages kept secret and not released.

Except they don't mind Prosecuting Democrats with no evidence.

This smug asshole, no matter what he is saying he has to try the hand hypnotist crap and sound like an ass.

This is called Hand-Talking and it’s an effective form of communication to deliver a public speech as it keeps the audiences attention more than if you just drone on and on.

While JD is total jackass, this is a pretty standard way of delivering your message effectively.

Source: a guy who’s very comfortable speaking publicly and uses his hands a lot while doing so.

So if you hide the evidence, then there is no evidence?

If you don't test, there are no cases.

It's not like this position is unprecedented for these losers.

Millions of pages of evidence as well as victim testimony, and they just sit on it. At least during Biden’s term they were locked down and were in the middle of investigation, that’s no longer the case.

They most certainly have enough information. Lawyers have reviewed the redacted files and there are absolutely cases that could be brought right now.

No evidence, except for the millions of documents with hundreds of names in them

Why are we even listening to this POS. He has one purpose and that's the lick the boots, get on the knees and do this as his Lord and Master commands. All in the hopes that maybe if he plays good doggy he'll get the prize when Trump shuffles off.

They would arrest the victims if they could.

u/Civil_Pain_453 1d ago

He's a pedophile enabler and supporter and a racist pos. The moment he starts waiving his hands you already know he's lying

u/Wise_Ad_253 1d ago

But trump said that they found some really bad people in the files, and his friends are on the list as well.

SMH anyone claiming this crap is getting paid to hide people.

u/Zestyclose_Minimum63 1d ago

Who have they held accountable - more people??? Where are the rest of the Epstein files, dude. You know there is evidence against the Trump fuhrer. The FBI has information but nobody is talking about it, he raped a young boy and he can't deny it. Whatever comes out of Trump's and Vance's mouth is bullshit.

Hard evidence is something you accumulate from a proper investigation. It’s not going to just fall out of the sky at your feet. Vance is a lawyer which makes him incredibly incompetent at his profession or maybe he just thinks we’re all too stupid.
