Why doesn't someone just send the Epstein files to WikiLeaks?

4•aniken•1h ago
Maybe an ignorant question but just wondering why someone hasn’t already done this if they are concerned about people not properly being held accountable.

If you didn't Snowden your way to Russia or North Korea within the hour, they would lynch you like nothing that has been seen before in American politics. FBI agents, Mossad sleeper-cells and private security would have you looking like that John Wick movie poster at the Aeroflot terminal: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/unpopular-opinion-guns

Ironically I think the US government inadvertently saved Snowden by canceling his passport and leaving him stranded in Moscow. He wouldn't have been as safe in Ecuador.

Put yourself in the place of a hypothetical someone who could do that. It is not a simple calculation. Its purpose would be to minimize collateral damage, but it would cause a lot of collateral damage. It will happen: it is already too late, and it will get much later, but it will happen.

I am 100% speculating but here is my theory.

High impact leaks to WikiLeaks were intelligence operation with a clear political goal in mind.

The content of the "Epstein files" does not align with that goal, or with the planning of the governments behind the previous leaks.

Hence no leaks.

Perhaps such a high percentage of the US population and the workforce that has access to the info are ok with having a president that fuck kids.
