Donald Trump doesn't want to release the Epstein files because he's in the files.
Trump is in the files because he was "best friends" with Epstein for years.
He was "best friends" with Epstein for years because they were abusing women and girls together.

There’s an even bigger problem with Halligan’s “highly prejudicial” misstatements of fundamental tenets of criminal law which suggested that grand jurors did not have to base a finding of probable cause on the actual evidence presented to him. That’s not harmless error 😬
People really should be prepared that the Comey case goes forward with a finding that the indictment fuck-up was harmless error.
So long as the operative counts that were indicted had identical language there's a decent chance some court, whether trial, appeal or SCOTUS finds it was harmless
