like 20 different times on this board. I'm well aware of the list of people. I've paid closer attention than probably 95% of other people regarding this case. For example, I can name every person (or description of person) on Virginia Guiffre's list of alleged abusers from her 2015 suit against Maxwell off the top of my head. You?

Anyways, please see my reply to the other poster who replied to me on this same thread, it may be of some help in gleaning what I'm actually getting at

But I will add here that Congress is in a position of increased imprimatur relative to, say, a private party, or the Epstein Estate. Whatever pictures they post are likely to be hyped from all corners (we already saw it today).

Therefore Congress has, again, IN MY OPINION, a responsibility to apply reasonable standards in terms of what they divulge because logically SOME of the public will perceive the release of pictures from Congress as being something like proof of wrongdoing by the people shown in them, simply because they're in a picture with Epstein.

I mean, I presume you've noticed the public at large are pathetically uninformed, and they only see "the big stuff", at most? Congress releasing tranches of photos (or emails) with Epstein qualifies as a big thing IMHO, and a lot of people will just see the pictures and assume they're being put out because there's evidence against the particular people in them. That's not some flight of fancy on my part, that's an entirely logical presumption.

In the end, I am not, and will never be, Mr. "Release ALL the Epstein Files". I've made no secret about that. I disagree with the premise behind it. You don't have to share my opinion, I'm just sharing mine. I have my principles, and I stick to them.

To reiterate in ending, if it weren't Congress putting them out, my take would be different.
