There isnt, and never has been, a plan to release "Phase 2" of the Epstein files

The grift is obvious, and all completely orchestred (even down to the matching tweets from the right wing influencers receiving the binders)

Bondi, Trump and Co. know they can't actually release all of the Epstein files, and especially the most incriminating components. There's probably multiple reasons for this, but that's another discussion.

So they can't release the good stuff, but they still need to throw some red meat to the MAGA base who has been demanding this.

Their entire plan was to do the "Phase 1" release, photo op and all, that would just be information we've already seen over the years. And then, they blame the "deep state" FBI for destroying evidence and being the reason they can't release the incriminating info. Because they know it's an easy target for MAGA to put blame on.

There was never a plan to release incriminating info. The plan was always to release nothing, and blame an easy target to keep the target off their back
