Gorging on Nothing Burgers

What were people expecting with the big file releases?

So, the JFK files were released last week.

Big nothingburger. One of the things people were passing around as some big revelation was actually a reprint of a section of a magazine article published in 1967.

Oh, but the Epstein files are coming! That’s sure going to be… absolutely nothing again.

I don’t know what people expect from this. Like logically, what would a non-nothingburger even look like that would make sense to be revealed in a document dump like this?

For instance, did people expect evidence the CIA killed Kennedy and it's just sitting there in random documents a bunch of people in government — including various Republican and Democratic administrations — saw it and no one did anything about it? And now they released them?

“Oh, is the CIA killing Kennedy bad? We didn’t realize that until we gave the documents to the public and they pointed it out.”

And of course, there’s the moron Jew-haters looking for mentions of Israel like they were somehow involved. How would it make any sense for what at the time was a tiny fledging nation to assassinate the U.S. president (and why would they do that?)? And we’re supposed to believe the government had documented evidence a foreign nation killed the president, and they just sat on that. “Oh, sometimes foreign countries kill our president; it’s not worth making a big deal about it.” But they’ll release that all in a document dump and be like, “Oh, yeah, I guess we should have done something about foreign nations murdering our president.”

So again, nothing in the documents, but I don’t know what anyone logically expected.

But they’re going to release the Epstein files!
