Newsbusters ^ | July 20, 2025 | P.J. Gladnick

Politico broke out the worry beads and furiously began rubbing them in deep concern over whether the Wall Street Journal's story about President Donald Trump supposedly sending Jeffrey Epstein a bawdy letter over twenty years ago would end up tossing Trump a "lifeline."

In fact Politico was so concerned about this that their angst session was carried out in public via FIVE, count 'em, FIVE stories on whether the WSJ story would cause MAGA to rally around him. Of course, their real concern should be if the WSJ story even has any credibility at all.< Friday's morning Politico Playbook by Adam Wren with Dasha Burns was chock full of worry over whether the Wall Street Journal ended up uniting MAGA behind Trump. Playbook started out on what for them would be an upbeat note:

NOBODY cares about the Epstein thing. It is being used as a distraction by the democrats to avoid talking about the many successes the President has had.

Politico is stuck in 2017.

The only thing that Democrats have used is assertations and accusations. There are no real evidence that amounts to criminality.

They are so desperate. As has been said many times, if Trump had anything to do with wrongdoing on the island they would have released it years ago and especially before every election.

Dershowitz said he got a phone call about his contribution to that album. He said he didn’t remember and to send him a copy of his original letter. They said that wouldn’t happen.

If they want to take Trump out, they will need kryptonite.

Yeah, this even less believable than the "Moscow pee tape" story. If that card existed, it would have been played long ago. It's like folding with a royal flush.

Did Politico run five stories as to why Biden did not release the Epstein files during his term?

Of course not.

President Trump doesn’t need a life-line.

Trump might publicly state that he will, come September 1, unless there is credible evidence of other related to Epstein sexual crime received by Bondi before August 30th, pardon all third-party under-age female federal offenses committed with Epstein’s or Maxwell’s connivance.

I’m sure that idea won’t be well-received here, but if there’s nothing to pardon (or no evidence to convict), the pardon offer would be meaningless.

One of the Epstein females will almost certainly talk (or provide proof via an attorney) so a perp doesn’t walk.

I’m for uniting behind Trump...we’ve been with President Trump a long time and we’ll continue to be with him.

The Epstein files are probably a mess because all of the fabrications inserted in them by holdovers like Maurene Comey or others.
Why wouldn’t some Biden/Obama moles at DOJ and FBI put in fake evidence as Obama did with cia/fbi just before Trump 1.0? Of course it wouldn’t be the demented Biden but his staff or Dr. Jill, Hunter that could’ve coordinated things just before Trump took office. Hunter got a blanket pardon at the last minute, so why not engage in some more crime?
