1) Epstein was Mossad and exposing his activities would embarrass an important ally (Israel) and contribute to global anti-semitism and possibly contribute to unrest in the Middle East.
As far as I'm concerned, this concern just evaporated. He's not Mossad. Israel has no reason to be concerned at all.
2) Epstein was CIA and exposing his activities would embarrass the US government. Well, that's almost the point, isn't it? We do want to drain the swamp, don't we? Democrat or Republican, we want to expose criminals in our government, right?
I continue to think that Trump has badly mis-calculated this and has chosen the wrong side.
So you also believe Patel and Bongingo and Vance and Trump are intentionally covering for a child-abuse gang. Got it.
