Two political commentators got into a heated shouting match over whether more action needs to be taken on the Epstein files.During a late-night panel discussion, progressive podcaster Brian Tyler Cohen spoke about Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and argued that he was elevated because he knows how to protect Trump from the Epstein files.MAGA radio show host Jason Rantz responded to Cohen's comments by asking, "What crime did Trump commit as it relates directly to Epstein?" Rantz argued that Trump isn't criminally implicated in the Epstein files."You're mentioning that he's in the files with the implication, of course, that a crime was committed," Rantz continued. "And yet for four years under the previous president, they didn't charge him with anything because there's actually no evidence to suggest that he committed a crime."Cohen tried to make the point that no one has seen the full Epstein files, so they don't know if Trump committed a crime, and Rantz was asked whether he had seen the files.When Rantz said that he had, Cohen followed up by asking, "You've seen the other 3 million files?""Not everything," Rantz said. "But you're suggesting a crime was committed."Cohen and Rantz talked over each other, but Rantz repeated his point about the Biden administration not taking action if there were a crime.Cohen responded, "I'm suggesting that we should probably see the other half of the files that haven't been released."Rantz called it "the position you only magically started to take in the last two years, not one during the Biden administration."Cohen pointed out that Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted under the Biden administration, and Rantz asked, "Who should we charge next?""Why are you defending the suppressing of 3 million files?" Cohen shouted.Rantz shouted back some of his previous points while Cohen yelled, "Why are you defending pedophiles?"
