In reply to the discussion: If embarrassing and damaging Trump details are in the Epstein Files... [View all]I think voters on both sides wanted to see the records (redacted to protect victims) released and the abusers prosecuted. Some would of course try to discount charges against abusers from their own tribe and claim that the prosecutions were biased, but so long as there was substantive evidence for the prosecutions, I doubt anyone could persuasively claim that Biden was just being "petty."
Too many voters are concerned that there's a different, more lenient system for the powerful than there is for the rest of us, and want both to see real justice done and also have the chance to start figuring out which abusers might have been secretly blackmailed into making decisions that were inconsistent with our welfare or even treasonous.

Yep, exposing a person's involvement with harming children is not petty.
