The obvious answer is that the Clintons are heavily implicated, but in a more general sense, the point of blackmail is to extort someone into doing something on the condition that you don't release the blackmail. That's why they got Epstein to connect with so many academics, celebrities, and other public figures. If they were to just release the blackmail, it would lose intelligence agencies all their leverage.
They belong to intelligence
more then likely cuz there were more then a few D politicians n definitely Democratic donors on that list.
The same reason every politician and government will never release them, because they are trying to protect themselves or someone else. As long as money and power remain the only things politicians care about this will never get released. And I find it absolutely infuriating that these people will always prioritize reputations over the literal r*ping of children. There are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of people just blatantly getting away with it because apparently every single elite is in on it.
Only war is class war.
Tbh, probably because a lot of their donors are on the list. Also, Bill Clinton. And probably several other Democrats.
I don't think Bill Clinton has that much pull honestly. But important Democrats or important donors maybe.

Democrats are on the list.
Because wealthy and powerful degenerates on both sides of the aisle are on the list.
One of the few times "both sides" is not only accurate but appropriate.
This is also the same thing that makes them vastly different.
We call for the heads of the corrupt on our side instead of worship them.

Different policies, same people.
If people can come together on this, it could be the moment the USA tears down the entire establishment and probably gets rid of the two-party system.
Sadly, that won't happen if both D's and R's have people or large financial supporters on the list. Best case I can imagine is that those top people end up in jail which shakes up both parties. The 2 party system is a result of our voting system (winner takes all for most positions), so it's bad to have a 3rd party similar to your own (which gets your own voters potentially siphoned off), or have be a 3rd party similar to another party (which means you're weakening the party closest to your own, and helping the party most different from yours). regardless of whether it affects the 2 party system, getting that list published is important for justice.
