If the 'holder' of the files did not actually pass the files over then how could they be released?
The person who is still in the 'resistance' was just forcibly terminated - Now is the time to see if the Trump team is full of bull****.
Again, I have no problem believing all of this. The FBI sucks, and perhaps there could even be something really fun and sinister in there. Let your imagination go wild with the corruption. None of that changes the fact that everything the Trump Admin has done with respect to the release of the Epstein files has been incompetent at best and intentionally dishonest at worst.
