if you cared about the victims, why do you ignore liberals that say "oh, well, he isn't president, now is he?"

So you mean the Democrats shouldn't be trying to smear Trump with this?

I think Trump deserves criticism for trying to marginalize & distract from this, and for calling it a "hoax."
But nothing so far implicates Trump in any way. Dems are overstepping on that & on the insinuations until anything is proven. The fact that he was friends w/ this creep is fair game, however.
not If it turns out that democrats are engaged in another hoax by trying to link him to this scandal...which the evidence strongly suggests
you don't cherry pick emails like they did this week if your agenda is something else. as a centrist, you would be appalled
Based on what has been exposed, Trump has more of a relationship with anyone short of Maxwell, Trump has been noted 1500+ times in just what has been released
^ idiocy
How, it was your Messiah who had to admit defeat in doing his best to keep the files hidden, when he has to call in and scold BeatleJuice you know he is desperate
The Pedo party kept the files hidden during the entire error of the Biden Cartel.
Trump released the Epstein files, and surprise, surprise, surprise - every new name is someone from the pedo party.
A little reminder for those who belong to and defend the pedo party;
{
Wealthy political financier and accused child molester Jeff Epstein contributed directly to Democratic Rep. Stacey Plaskett’s last two campaigns for Congress.
The U.S. Virgin Islands lawmaker has decided she will be keeping the cash, even after Epstein’s arrest in New York, at least for now.
Mike McQueery, a spokesman for Plaskett’s office, told CNBC she has no immediate plans to refund the donation. “I’m pretty sure she’s not,” he said and later confirmed, in a follow-up phone call to verify her position, that his boss is unlikely to return the contribution. He declined to comment further about the investigation and how Plaskett knew Epstein.}

Huh?
Where did I say it's okay for Dems to make this political?
If you read the whole post you responded to - I said the opposite. You're not looking for discussion - just gotchas.

Bullshit, for beginners, Epstein was dead and history when Biden became President, case closed, and why look for dirt on Trump from dead cases
And Trump hasn’t released anything, if he was serious as you mistakenly claim, he could have done that anytime. Guarantee the complete records will never see the light of day as long as Trump has any say

Former Harvard University president Larry Summers has said he will step back from public commitments after his emails with disgraced late financier Jeffrey Epstein were made public.
"I am deeply ashamed of my actions and recognise the pain they have caused," he said in a statement to CBS News, the BBC's US partner.
Emails released by a House committee last week show Summers, a former US treasury secretary, communicated with Epstein until the day before the Epstein's 2019 arrest for the alleged sex trafficking of minors.
On Tuesday, House members are expected to vote on a measure calling for the release of all Epstein-related files that have yet to be made public.

The measure would then head to the Senate, and require the approval of US President Donald Trump.
Summers served as treasury secretary under former President Bill Clinton and director of the National Economic Council under former President Barack Obama. He was president of Harvard from 2001 to 2006 and is currently a professor there.
He wrote in his statement on Monday: "I take full responsibility for my misguided decision to continue communicating with Mr Epstein."
He added that he wanted "to rebuild trust and repair relationships with the people closest to me".
"While continuing to fulfil my teaching obligations, I will be stepping back from public commitments as one part of my broader effort," Summers wrote.
The Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank in Washington where Summers was a senior fellow, also announced on Monday that he was no longer affiliated with the organisation.
Summers is still listed as a member of ChatGPT-maker OpenAI's board, which he joined in 2023 following a failed attempt to oust its chief executive Sam Altman. The BBC has contacted OpenAI and a representative for Summers about whether he will remain a director at the company.

Larry Summers steps back from public role after Epstein emails emerge

You are OK going after Trump. Trump called his involvement a hoax. Not Epstein's sex abuse of young girls. The feigned outrage by the Dems is a political hoax. Trump have EVERY RIGHT to point that out. This is another example that proves you are on the left not the center.

You're trying so hard for a gotcha. I can barely follow you here - you're really not making much sense.
And again - I determine designations like "centrist" according to actual political positions.
Trump has been criticized by Republicans on this issue, as well.

And lots of Repubs including Trump and his billionaire administration and funders will be revealed. You will not acknowledge any of them ,though.
The president is the only one that I am aware of who booted the pedophile out of his life when he found out that he was a pedophile.
Epstein was a Democrat.

You are such a child. Trump was a dem when he was running with Epstein.
You are the one that is stretching things. You suggested Trump thinks the whole Epstein mess is a hoax. Trump was saying the Dems suggesting he was involved was a hoax. Would you have him not defend himself? If he said nothing you would point to that as a sign of his involvement.
MTG is just a little confused. She will probably work it out eventually.
