Someone Has Posted that the Epstein Files Have Been Released in GD [View all] MineralMan Nov 17 OP

I interpreted the post as a "what happens when" they have been released? kentuck Nov 17 #1

That is not what it said, though. MineralMan Nov 17 #8

Here's a link to the 20k documents that have been released. Is this what you're referring to? TheRickles Nov 17 #2

I'm not referring to anything. MineralMan Nov 17 #13

They didn't say they have been released. I read it as a what if trump is involved what is Autumn Nov 17 #3

I read it exactly as MM did obamanut2012 Nov 17 #4

I found nothing confusing about it. I knew they had not been released. nt Autumn Nov 17 #6

"Epstein files are released" is the post's headline. greatauntoftriplets Nov 17 #7

I read past that so I understood what the poster was talking about. It's not big deal. Autumn Nov 17 #17

The title was a simple declarative sentence. MineralMan Nov 17 #9

Only possible defense (and I'm not defending it)... GJGCA Nov 17 #14

Maybe, but the poster went on in the body of the text MineralMan Nov 17 #15

Not everybody reads like everyone else. I understood it clearly. Autumn Nov 17 #16

Lets say the Epstein Files Have Been Released leftstreet Nov 17 #5

If that was what it said, then I'd agree. MineralMan Nov 17 #11

That's true leftstreet Nov 17 #12

The OP has corrected their headline MustLoveBeagles Nov 17 #18

Good. MineralMan Nov 17 #19
