    At least once a week in my feed get the MAGA post that says if Obama or Biden had Epstein evidence against Trump, they would have used it against him. Nonsense. Epstein used Trump to launder Russian and probably other crime money through his golf club memberships and condominiums. For Trump, a recidivist welch who could no longer go to a legitimate bank for loans, this was easy access to lots of cash, albeit very illegal. Not to worry since the FBI and CIA would have known about these transactions and likely helped facilitate them in many cases. These are the same people who encouraged Colombian cocaine kingpins to invest their profits in NASDAQ for fuck’s sake. Revealing Trump’s crimes while concealing the government’s role would have been tricky at best. Ironic that, Trump’s role as a Deep State operative not to be revealed. That left a bust for sexual predation, which Epstein well documented in images and video. But you can’t produce visual evidence of one man’s crimes within this cesspool without reasonable people asking, “Who are the others?” They didn’t want to go there so Garland, like several gutless Attorneys General before him, chose to kick the scum-covered can down the road. The US Government has provided cover for Epstein-enabled degenerates for 30-odd years, whether their name is Trump or not. But not willing to leave well enough alone, and true to his deep idiocy, a Trump campaign plank was to open the files, apparently confident he could scrub 40,000 mentions of his name before the release. He doubled down by hiring actual morons to oversee the files, based primarily on their years of screaming into podcast microphones that the files prove beyond doubt the Clintons, various Jews and rich blacks are depraved. When his chosen imbeciles looked at the actual evidence, who was involved, and what crimes beside pedophilia went on unabated long after Epstein’s laughable trafficking conviction, you may have heard them gasp. Not Bondi, she was Florida’s AG when Epstein was busted and apparently attended some of his gatherings as a young woman. If you wonder why Kash Patel always looks bug-eyed when questioned about Epstein, he is either unable to get his head around the depth of depravity the files reveal and the names involved, or is absolutely gobsmacked that he was installed to exculpate it all. Alas, I think the Epstein files will follow 9/11 and the Kennedy/King assassinations into the black hole of unproven and partially proven “conspiracy theories” (like the shit didn’t really happen). Smoking guns spoil the fun. MSM, which has always been state media and is now more consolidated than ever, will do its best to ensure that happens. It’s an international story, so maybe some enterprising journalist in Andorra or Botswana will follow the millions of unredacted threads (no damning pornographic video or pictures allowed) to form a cohesive narrative. Only to be found having committed suicide by shooting themselves in the head, twice.

    It’ll always boggle my mind this dipshit ran on releasing the files he knew he would be all over them. Maga can call it 4D chess or whatever, but has to be a top 10 most dumb fuck political moves ever.

      I always wonder the same thing. He was the one pushing it the most, rallying up his base. Did he think he could just sweep it under the rug? I mean he tried… In retrospective is really funny how they presented two binders as part I of the Epstein files when there’s literally millions of documents.

      Well at least this reveals who of his supporters is just really fucking dumb (meaning voted for him at least two times but is now ashamed) and who is so far out that they rationalize it any way or another. The latter group is just beyond salvation, no clue what to do with such people, but having them participate and decide in a society is just a disaster waiting to happen again

    The epstein ring is a global one and even if there aren’t real consequences in the US there are already consequences elsewhere which is a bit of a comfort.
