Remember: there is still something in the Epstein Files that is so bad that the man who has gotten away with *everything* is afraid of it becoming public.

@maxleibman is more then just Donald rapes children. That's not news or enough to justify the extent of the cover up.

It's that a global oligarchy has coalesced around a network of rapists and used that network to subvert democracy around the world.

@bebadefabo I often think that's it (and obviously that IS what was happening here), but I also can't shake the feeling there's something more specific and personally horrific, because I can't imagine Trump caring about keeping that kind of secret. (Although it may be that, indirectly, because revealing the network fully may also finally disclose "Here's who REALLY owns Trump, and how").

@maxleibman @bebadefabo In terms of horror, I don’t know how much worse it gets than to reveal the cruelest crimes are met with a resounding “yeah, we’re not gonna prosecute because we own all the levers of power”. So to the average person, the horror is already here.

In terms of horror that Trump feels, I suspect it’d be something about his not being as rich, attractive, or virile as he believes he is due.
