Do you think the DOJ’s release of its Epstein files will reveal that Epstein blackmailed powerful figures, and/or kept a secret client list?

Yes (57%) – "IF, IF we actually get all of the unredacted files, then we may finally have something to move be forward with or take legal action."

• "It’s possible all those powerful people will still find a way to surpress their involvement but releasing the files brings us a chance of getting a little closer to knowing the truth."

"I absolutely think that lots of powerful people were involved with Epstein's trafficking ring. There's already quite a lot of evidence that implicates many powerful and prominent people, including president Trump, to have committed heinous sex crimes alongside Epstein; and while obviously not everything will come out at once, I believe that decades down the line once we see the full scope of things, the network of pedophile elites that Epstein was merely a part of will be one of the biggest and most widespread conspiracies in history."

• "I do believe that a lot will be revealed but I think that Trump will do all he can to keep attention only on “Democrat” offenders and block any references to him. I hope that the Democrats and people stay vigilant that all files be released, especially those that link to Trump."

"I believe and hope that these files will contain the names of people who should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I do not believe and will be surprised if the names of anyone in the current administration or their allies will appear unredacted, except maybe a sacrificial fall guy."

• "The evidence we do know is compelling, this guy had dirt on a lot of powerful people and I can’t wait to see it exposed."

No (25%) – "No, I think it will be all smoke and mirrors. Neither side can allow the real files to be shown. There would be far too many men on both sides of the aisle implicated. I have no doubt that powerful democrats and republicans, along with many other wealthy people, consorted with Epstein. Epstein is the Diddy of the business world. No one will be held accountable and nothing concrete will be revealed."

• "I think the delays have given time to cover up information that would be detrimental...I don't think we will ever see the truth which is so unfortunately for those who were abused by Epstein and his clientele ("friends")"

"Because they have had all this time to release the files and NEVER did, and they have ALL THIS TIME to prepare the files to be released, which means they can just got through everything and redact what they dont want people to see. We will never know the truth because the powers that be are on that list and they dont want people to know the truth."

Unsure/other (18%) – "Whether it reveals that or not doesn't matter. The government has mishandled this so bad that it will be difficult to prove they released it all. They have lost the trust of their constituents. They can pretend that it's just the conspiracy theorists, but ultimately every-day Americans have lost faith in their ability to be transparent or to prosecute for this. Ultimately if the people responsible don't serve jail time, then what's the point?"

• "We've seen too many times in the past filtered content and redaction in the name of national security or to protect the innocent. We are likely to see more of the same. Maybe this time we will realize it is time to end the ability for people to become career politicians and get ethical people in on a rotating basis to truly represent the People."
