Being senile and cruel isn't an agenda

Also, the Epstein files aren’t a simple distraction. They’re crucial to exposing him as a pedophile and rapist.

But they interrupted nap time.

Easiest way to get rid of the distraction is to just release them without all the bullshit redactions.

Obama released his long-form birth certificate and the controversy you amplified after clinton brought it up went away. You could do the same thing. Of course, that would mean admitting you're a pedo, but who's gonna do anything about it? Republicans are in power and they're happy to support pedos. Democrats aren't gonna do anything because it resembles work. The courts are in your pocket. You want it to go away, you can make it go away. The only consequences will fall on other people who are also in the files.

Trump's agenda here is to get away with murder. But in this case Trump's agenda is to get away with child trafficking and child rape

I can't keep track of whether I'm supposed to be distracted by or distracted from the Epstein files. Politics is complicated.
