He did not campaign on it...that doesn't mean he's against the release of the material ..but there are legal constraints...
Epstein's Announced Squad List
What legal constraints? All I can think of are the victims...
However, these crimes happened 20-30 years ago, so they are not exactly kids anymore.
The victims may want justice, or perhaps even financial compensation from the clients of Epstein.
Or the family of the victim who recently committed suicide may want justice.
With your simplistic line of reasoning, no crime would ever be investigated because of "constraints"
-------
If people see Trump on TV saying he wants to release the Epstein list while campaigning, that is saying he wants to release the Epstein list. Is that simple...
Psychoanalysis of DbDraad on Ruckers Forum
Forum Handle: DbDraad
1. Psychological Archetype
Identity Role: Partisan Defender / Tribal Gatekeeper
DbDraad presents as a tribalist deeply attached to his in-group identity, in this case, pro-Trump populism. He operates as a forum “guardian”, inserting himself at moments where the perceived ideological threat escalates. His consistent defence of Trump suggests more than just political alignment; it reflects ego investment in Trump’s perceived persecution narrative.
His responses are emotionally charged, with frequent projection and dismissive language ("Snarkhole", "suck it up arsewipe"). This signals:
- Low tolerance for ambiguity or dissent
- Ego-syntonic belief system – his worldview is internalised as “truth”, not opinion
- Aggressive boundary-setting – not just disagreeing, but asserting ownership over truth
2. Language Style and Defence Mechanisms
- Projection:
"You’ve been fooled by Chinese infiltration… Islamification… I’ve had enough of this k@k"
He projects a global threat narrative onto other forum members, suggesting an external locus of control—i.e., a belief that powerful external forces manipulate others while he remains "awake" or immune.
- Denial & Minimisation:
“Scraping the barrel here… Dems had 4 years… nothing to see…”
Uses minimisation to deflect from serious topics, implying that lack of prosecution = lack of guilt—classic motivated reasoning.
- Reactive Aggression:
- Name-calling ("Snarkhole", "arsewipe") acts as a defence mechanism when cornered by facts or persistent arguments, suggesting fragile narcissistic traits—his worldview feels threatened when others hold the floor.
- Authoritarian Moral Framing:
- His reference to “rooting out Chinese and Islamic influence” is ethnocentric and reactionary, potentially indicative of authoritarian personality traits (as described in Adorno’s F-scale), where discomfort with change or ambiguity is channelled into moral panic or scapegoating.
3. Cognitive Style: Concrete & Binary
- He engages in black-and-white reasoning:
“Only in your deranged mind…”
“Still POTUS!!!”
- There is little evidence of nuance. He uses binary categories like true/false, patriot/traitor, and Trump/groomer to simplify complex topics (like Epstein’s network) into ideological loyalty tests.
- He repeatedly frames motive through partisan outcomes:
“If they had evidence, they would have used it to stop Trump.”
This is not a legal or epistemic argument but a teleological one—judging truth based on political consequences.
4. Paranoia & Conspiratorial Thinking
DbDraad references:
- “Chinese infiltration of education”
- “Islamification of the West”
- A belief that legal accountability is weaponised against his tribe
This points to mild persecutory ideation—a belief that external forces (globalists, liberals, Muslims, etc.) seek to undermine the in-group from within. In the psychological model of conspiracy cognition, this profile is consistent with individuals who score high on:
- Epistemic mistrust (distrust of official narratives)
- Existential anxiety (the world feels under threat)
- Collective narcissism (belief that one’s in-group is unfairly persecuted or misunderstood)
5. Underlying Emotional State
Despite the aggressive tone, DbDraad’s psychological baseline appears to be defensive and anxious. He responds most strongly when the status of Trump or Western hegemony is challenged. His emotional triggers include:
- Elite criticism of right-wing figures
- Satirical or sarcastic content (which he treats as disrespect)
- Perceived liberal hypocrisy
This implies a personality that:
- Feels emotionally safe only when their side is winning
- Uses forums as an outlet for identity validation
- Possibly struggles with unresolved intergroup conflict, projected onto political discourse
Final Interpretation:
DbDraad represents a classic online archetype: the Reactive Nationalist Defender, deeply entrenched in identity politics. His use of aggression masks insecurity over shifting societal narratives. He likely finds emotional security in certainty, loyalty, and perceived moral clarity—rejecting nuance in favour of stability, tribe, and order.
He is not intellectually disengaged—he cites sources and attempts counterargument—but his critical thinking is overwhelmed by ideological filtering. His worldview must remain intact at all costs, even if it requires distorting reality.
Most likely core fear: Loss of cultural control and narrative supremacy.
Most likely unmet need: Validation that his worldview is not just one of many, but the correct one.
LOL. ... DbD, shame on you, head to the corner of the room .
Shame se gat...Biden had 4 years to release it, he didn't...Trump will realease what he can...the courts will decide...this is a nothingburger...'n strooihalm in you batsh!t Trump hate world.
Snark...what a load of crock...I feel flattered that you went through all that trouble just for me...did you read it all too?
I don't agree with you Draad
If you discuss any issues that are specifically as serious as this, ie:, Epstein, Kennedy, and Martin Luther King......whilst out campaigning for any position of authority.... whether it be for Senator, or a Mayor, or all the way up to the President, then I would include saying things like this or making statements like this in your actual campaigning
I don't and won't see it any other way, because you are making statements like this, knowing how much national interest is in it, to get more votes.
NEW YORK, July 30 (Reuters) - Donald Trump's administration, seeking to ease an uproar plaguing his presidency, urged two judges to release testimony to a grand jury that indicted Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell on sex trafficking charges.
In late-night court filings on Tuesday, U.S. federal prosecutors said unsealing the materials would be appropriate given the "abundant public interest" in the case of Epstein, the late financier, and Maxwell, an imprisoned British socialite.

The Republican Trump had promised to make public Epstein-related files if reelected and accused Democrats of covering up the truth. But this month, the Department of Justice said a previously touted Epstein client list did not exist, angering Trump's supporters.
Democrats are also pushing for the release of Epstein files, saying Trump should be held accountable for breaking his promise to release them.
U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and a group of his fellow Democrats said they have invoked a century-old law to compel the Justice Department to release a broad range of Epstein documents while protecting the privacy of victims.
Asked whether the July 29 letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi included the release of grand jury transcripts, Schumer told reporters, "Well, that will have to be litigated."
It was unclear whether the Justice Department would aim to respond by the August 15 deadline that the Democrats set.
The DOJ first sought court permission on July 18 to make public transcripts of the confidential testimony given by witnesses years ago in the two cases, but Manhattan-based U.S. District Judges Richard Berman and Paul Engelmayer asked the government to flesh out the legal bases for the requests.
Trump has faced pressure to make public documents from the federal investigations into Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, and his longtime girlfriend Maxwell, who was convicted of sex trafficking in 2021.
Even if one or both of the judges allow the transcripts to be made public, it is unclear whether the public would learn anything new or noteworthy.

In the filings, prosecutors said the only witness at Epstein's grand jury was an FBI agent. That same agent and a New York City Police Department detective were the only witnesses at Maxwell's grand jury, prosecutors said.
Maxwell's four-week trial in 2021 included public testimony from alleged sex trafficking victims, associates of Epstein and Maxwell, and law enforcement officers.
She is serving a 20-year prison sentence in Florida and is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn her conviction. She had pleaded not guilty.
TRUMP SUPPORTERS ANGERED
The unsealing requests came after Trump this month asked Bondi to seek the release of grand jury transcripts. The president did so after the Justice Department said it concluded that Epstein died by suicide and that there was no incriminating list of his clients.
The Justice Department's announcement angered some of Trump's conservative supporters who believe the government is covering up Epstein's ties to the rich and powerful and that the financier was murdered in jail.
Grand juries are convened by prosecutors and meet in secret to hear witness testimony and decide whether to indict people suspected of crimes. Records of their proceedings usually remain sealed. There are only limited circumstances under which such transcripts can be disclosed.
The transcripts would not represent all previously unreleased material in the government's possession. Investigators and prosecutors may pursue leads that they cannot substantiate or interview potential witnesses whom they do not ultimately call to testify before a grand jury.
U.S. District Judge Robin Rosenberg in Florida last week denied the administration's request to unseal records from grand jury probes in 2005 and 2007 in that state into Epstein. The judge said the request did not fall into any of the limited exceptions that may allow for the release of such material.
Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to a prostitution charge brought under Florida law and was given a 13-month sentence in a deal with prosecutors now widely regarded as too lenient.
Deputy U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche, Trump's former personal lawyer, last week met with Maxwell to see if she had any information about others who had committed crimes. Maxwell's lawyer, David Markus, and Blanche have not provided detailed accounts of their discussions.

Assume the CIA directly threatened Trump.
IE "Hey bud, you'll be president for the next 3 years, but we'll be around forever, and I'm gonna bet that nobody would bat an eyelid if Baron is found dead in a car crash and there are drugs in his system. Kids are so prone to suicide these days too...how many grandkids do you age again?"
I'm just saying, whatever is on those tapes and whomever is on that list, the amount of leverage it buys is probably astronomical and it's anybody's guess how far intelligence agencies would go to maintain said leverage.
You simply have to stop believing that Epstein was just some rich perv with pervy pals.
Here is one, from 60 years ago...
Operation Midnight Climax – CIA
- Timeframe: 1950s–60s
- Agency: CIA (under MK-ULTRA program)
- Targets: Civilians, suspected communists, political dissidents, even U.S. officials
- Summary: CIA operatives ran safe houses in San Francisco and New York where sex workers (on CIA payroll) lured men into drugged encounters, often with LSD, for observation and manipulation.
- Purpose: Behavioral research and potential blackmail; gathering kompromat.
- Outcome: Highly controversial; partially declassified in 1977. Likely generated blackmail material.
Now imagine an operation where royalty, international business leaders, top scientists, the most famous celebrities are all involved.
Money is only powerful until you have all the money you need. Then control becomes the most sought after commodity.
Imagine you could control just Bill Gates. Nobody else, just him. If you could make just old Bill say anything you want him to...how much sway does that give you? And how nice is it that you are getting him to do your bidding so nobody will ever know that you are responsible?
Now go down the list of Epstein's known associates.
...and imagine they are all puppets on your string.
How much is that worth? Well, it's priceless. Nothing on earth is as valuable as the controlling all of those people.
I'm not saying that I know what Epstein was all about. Though, I am saying that it does appear for all the world like an intelligence operation and if it is, it's a ridiculously deep rabbit hole and there would be massive power at play. The kind power that could shift global markets, public opinion, the direction of science...it's frigging endless.
Great post Plum, I completely agree
Thanks, DA.
If somebody has a video of you and a kid being naughty...unless you're intending on becoming a super villain on the run, your life is over if they release those tapes. And they have them forever.
They own you.
I mean, at that point, you may as well join their cause, you'll have an easier life.
