Trump has probably been preparing for this outcome since the moment he was elected President. He may not know exactly what is in the files but he knows what might be and is terrified of this getting out. Anyone who continues to believe that a deeply amoral man didn't get up to some pretty terrible things during his long association with a sex trafficker is delusional. There are threee keys necessary to unlock the files - those owned by the executive, the judiciary and the legislature. Trump can't withhold his own key, and the legislature now has finally presented its one. This makes the role of the Attorney General critical.It has become so much clearer now why Trump tried so hard to get Matt Gaetz a thoroughly sleazy individual who would have been on the first plane to Epstein Island had he been invited. He was so profoundly distasteful that even MAGA Republicans couldn't be persuaded to accept his nomination.Trump had to fall back on Bondi, who once did have some integrity and back in 2013 was set to launch a big investigation into the Trump University scam as the Florida AG. She scrapped it after large donations from the Trump organisation which undoubtedly were made in a way that Trump could ruin her if she didn't stay onside.She remains totally his creature and has quite widespread authority to be a gatekeeper on what is released and what gets redacted. She will probably have to through some people who appear in the files to the dogs (and they will probably thoroughly deserve it) but any mention of her controller will be excised.
