While Democrats are claiming that President Donald Trump unveiled a comprehensive plan to “liberate” Washington, D.C. is a distraction from the Jeffrey Epstein case, an unlikely source is pouring cold water on their plans.
On CNN, pollster Harry Enten reported that “Google searches for Epstein are down 89% from just 3 weeks ago,” “Trump's approval rating is holding steady & much higher than term 1 at this point in his presidency,” and “less than 1% say it's the nation's top issue.”
“The Epstein saga,” Enten noted, “is becoming a political dud & nothingburger.”
CNN’s findings confirm what many across America have maintained; that Democratic attempts to tie Trump to the disgraced convicted sex offender are amounting to nothing.
Trump, his allies note, is unlikely to be implicated in any way in Epstein’s crimes; Democrats had full control of the government for years in which they weaponized the Department of Justice (DOJ) against him and his allies, and no evidence surfaced of a connection between the president and Epstein’s crimes.
Nevertheless, Democrats like Rep. Ted Lieu (D., Calif.) insist that “Trump is engaged in another political stunt.”
“He’s now taking over the local police and deploying the National Guard in DC. (Remember when he delayed deployment on January 6?),” Lieu continued. “He's doing everything he can to distract from the Epstein files, and nothing to lower prices.”

Attacking Trump over Epstein - in alliance with Democrats - is literally his only notable action in 8 terms in Congress!
I agree....Epstein is dead. Max is in jail. The ladies of the night aka call girls aka prostitutes have been paid millions....what more is there?
What else are Dems. going to say? They have no solutions and nothing to say that is interesting. It is the same old Trump hate playbook.
It’s really all they have at this point. Their entire message is “Orange man bad, I’m not him”.
Sorry but it’s not going away. It’s just on the back burner for now because of so many other things happening.
The Demonrat’s smoking gun is turning into a water pistol!
Per the CIA News Network.
What a shock.
The media will keep doing CPR on the issue as long as they can, but they are trying to sell it backwards. Epstein is the distraction, away from Trump’s many successes, not the other way around.
The same CIA that controlled all the Epstein evidence (files) over the years?
Just saw the video of this guy delivering this news, the look on the face of the CNN hostette was priceless......
[”political dud and nothingburger”] == [only Democrats implicated]
However trying to tie Trump to Epstein is like the boy who cried wolf part six million and one. Nobody takes salacious accusations against Trump seriously anymore because there have been too many lies already.
CNN just confessed that it's a ticking bomb waiting to explode!
When CNN says "there's nothing to see", you can bet the farm that it's going
to take a small army of special prosecutors to sort through this offal
Except that it isn’t nothing. Name names. Expose them and indict them, convict them and jail them.
A person can dream, right?
You don’t say!
Oh, but then what is Maxwell doing in prison if no girls were trafficked?!?! Answer me that!
/sarc
Over a hundred women filed a lawsuit against Epstein back in 2008 because they were trafficked and abused by Epstein himself. Only ONE of those same women willing to sue Epstein implicated another guy, and that was Giuffre and Prince Andrew.
Not a single other woman has done that against any other man.
People are so sure it happened because they got caught up in internet speculation, and believe it to be true. Not because of actual evidence.
Agree. This can’t be permitted to slide.
Nah this thing has a life of it’s own now and is not going away. There’s a ton of (rightwing) conspiracy minded people (and who isn’t after covid) that are going to push on this until we get the truth. They elites get away with everything and are never held accountable. Well that has to end and right now. But like I’ve said I don’t mind Trump stalling it because I want him to first accomplish all he can before the midterms. To me that takes priority over Epstein. We can deal with that matter later.
“Sorry but it’s not going away. It’s just on the back burner for now because of so many other things happening.”
And the burner is turned off ...
