I’m not buying that anything at any level of salaciousness is a concern to you.
Not if it's the current hoax being pedaled by the mainstream media, it's not.
What is this "hoax" you speak of? Like your orange daddy, I'm not convinced you know what the word means.

Democrats [...] had multiple vendetta and election interference cases that they shamelessly pursued against DJT.
What? Election interference cases pursued against Trump?

I recall a notable number of cases being launched by Trump's people against various electoral authorities claiming that the election he lost was rigged in various ways. I also recall all those cases being thrown out of court, sometimes with complaints of time-wasting, by a set of judges appointed under a range of Presidents, including Trump himself.
Vendetta cases are fairly easy to spot: they're the ones that the government has a hard time getting a grand jury or magistrate to go along with or silly cases resulting in not guilty verdicts:

Examples:

James Comey (indictment based on misrepresentations to grand jury)
Leticia James (multiple no bills returned by grand jury)
Jerome Powell
Lisa Cook
John Bolton
Mark Kelly & five congress members (no bill returned by grand jury)
Adam Schiff
Eric Swalwell
Jack Smith
Miles Taylor
Christopher Krebs
Joe Biden
Barak Obama
Don Lemon (first magistrate denied -- grand jury indicted

We could also add not guilty verdicts

Sean Dunn (sandwich guy)
Sidney Reid (accused of pushing federal agent)

Not Vendetta Cases:

Federal Election interference (Trump indicted)
Georgia Election interference (Trump indicted)
Stealing Documents (Trump indicted)
New York financial fraud (Trump indicted and convicted)

I'm sorry, but you're never going to convince me that the left didn't pursue these cases against Trump in hopes of keeping him from running for reelection. If there were something about Trump in the Epstein files, Merrick Garland would have used it to get Trump before he ever took office, period!

And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

I can’t even begin to understand the pretzel logic that makes someone look at a career prosecutor who is internationally respected (served in The Hague), and was key in getting charges dropped against Republicans like Tom DeLay, Jerry Lewis and John Ensign, and thinking… yep, that guy is a totally part of “the left” and does stuff solely for leftist political reasons.

MAGA truly is an autoimmune disease that destroys cognitive abilities.

No, you’re not sorry. Like I said, you have zero interest in truth. You’ll just keep repeating lies over and over like a Russian bot.

Morons can't be convinced by facts, only idiotic, insecure feelings.

That's what this thread shows.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.

Xanax67 has single-handedly moved me to anti-natalism as a philosophy. The remarkable amount of suffering he must experience on a day-to-day, moment-by-moment existence can only testify to the pointless absurdity of internalized human pain levied upon us by an uncaring and unaware universe. I am convinced the human experiment is folly and should end as soon as possible. Thanks, Xanax!

Just noting again that neither Biden nor Obama are mentioned in the Epstein files. Dump, well, we know. They know, too. And they don’t care. TDS, indeed.
