“It’s dark on the Left now. They’ve reached that predictable moment where inflicting pain is all they have left.“ — Sasha Stone.
Theories on the Epstein mess fly around like a murmuration of starlings wheeling across an angry summer sky. The birds are just birds. They are not the storm clouds in the background. Mark the difference.
You can rightly say that Mr. Trump has handled this Epstein business rather awkwardly — especially last Wednesday’s little show of vexation in the cabinet meeting, barking, nothing to see. . . just move along. What? You’ve been watching the Epstein psychodrama unspool for nearly twenty years, so how can it possibly come to this?
Looks like Pam Bondi fumbled badly in those early days on the job, promising things she was less than fully informed about. The public was already convinced that the entire power structure of the nation — of all Western Civ, actually — was a convocation of perverts, and that a vast trove of evidence was sitting there waiting to be laid on them. And then Mr. Trump slammed the door shut. Mssers. Patel and Bongino at the FBI got caught flat-footed, and “Danny Boombatz” especially freaked, seeing his reputation as a truth-teller likely to shred all over cable TV. Most unfortunate, the whole appalling episode.
But then, Sunday, the president suggested on his social media that the Epstein business had become a Democratic Party op. He did not elaborate. And maybe it sounds suspiciously spurious. But, is it not worth considering? Consider also: In all of Epstein’s dark activities there was surely a there there. He did run a concerted blackmail enterprise for some combo of Israel’s Mossad, the CIA, and the UK’s MI6 intel outfit. And, since blackmail requires documentation, there was a ton of it, eventually scooped out of his various domiciles by the FBI.
The key is: had become a Democratic Party op. Didn’t start out that way, but might have turned into one. Consider: The Democratic Party was up to its eyeballs in ops against Mr. Trump since he rode down that fabled escalator in 2015. The “intel community” was the chief player in these operations. The intel community ran rings around Mr. Trump with all manner of fabricated nonsense during the election campaign of 2016 and throughout his first term. You could say — and I believe the DOJ under Ms. Bondi will say in cases waiting to be brought — that these many operations amounted to one continuous seditious conspiracy to overthrow a president. It ran from the Steele dossier, through the Mueller Investigation, through the Norm Eisen / Adam Schiff engineered impeachment No 1, through the gamed election of 2020, through the J-6 committee, and through all the nefarious lawfare gambits against Mr. Trump during the “Joe Biden” fake presidency.
Why wouldn’t the Epstein files now turn out to be an extension of these same operations? The DOJ first moved against Epstein in 2005. The case culminated in 2008 with a plea deal on some Mickey Mouse state prostitution charges and a non-prosecution agreement with the feds under US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Alex Acosta — who was reported later saying that Epstein “belonged to intelligence,” and that the case was therefore “beyond my pay-grade” to prosecute.
Between 2008 and 2019, Epstein returned to his international swashbuckling ways. Strangely, he was finally busted on June 6, 2019, by then-AG William Barr, whose father, Donald Barr, had been headmaster of New York City’s Dalton prep school, where Jeffrey Epstein, age twenty-one, was hired to teach math and physics in 1974, though he lacked a college degree. All that may just be coincidental, of course.
A little more than a month after his arrest on sex trafficking charges in the summer of 2019, Epstein died in the Manhattan federal lockup under mysterious circumstances. The outstanding question even afterward was: trafficking with-and-to whom? And the general assumption among the public was: trafficking teenage girls to a long list of public officials, movie stars, financial bigshots, and miscellaneous celebs such as Prince Andrew of the British royal family.
Astoundingly little was learned from the prosecution of Ghislaine Maxwell in 2021-22, which was led by Maurene Comey, daughter of former FBI Director James Comey (fired in 2017). Small world. The case only covered Ms. Maxwell’s activities between 1994 and 2004. Why only that period? Never explained. Rumors of a “client list” being among the evidence have never been substantiated, and were repudiated last week by AG Pam Bondi and President Trump.
Okay, all very well, such as it is. But consider: all the evidence, in all the cases against Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, has been in the possession of the FBI and the DOJ since at least the first Epstein case in 2005-08. If there was any evidence of Donald Trump caught in some indecent act, why did it not get leaked during the campaign of 2016, or any time since then? His political adversaries tried virtually everything else to knock him out of the arena, up to even assassination — but not that?
The DOJ and FBI were arguably in their most roguish phase as weaponized agencies during the “Joe Biden” years. All the Epstein evidence resided in the New York City field office of the FBI. These were also the years when the apparatus of the Democratic Party — and its rank-and-file — fell into a fugue of vicious, psychotic animus against Mr. Trump and the populist movement he led, not just in the USA, but spreading throughout Western Civ.
Do you suppose that the FBI might have worked some hoodoo with those Epstein evidence files, especially to set the table for the 2026 mid-term elections, when knocking a few Republicans out of office might flip the House and Senate back to the Democratic Party? I would suppose it’s not just a thing; I think it’s the thing. I would imagine that this is exactly what Mr. Trump was hinting at the other day when he referred to this business as yet another Democratic Party op. He knows the mainstream media will never investigate it or report it. And the alt-media is too momentarily disconcerted to entertain the idea. So, he just slammed the door shut.
Nobody likes it, but it may be necessary. Other storms are brewing: financial gales, geopolitical thunderheads, and apparently — we are officially informed — the coming cases against John Brennan, James Comey, and other figures who initiated the coup, which is a much bigger deal than who might have been having sex with whom sixteen years ago.

He doesn't get to call that shot. The American People are never going to forget this travesty and move on. He can check out anytime he likes. But he can never leave. I hope that Donald Trump does not allow this to become his legacy.
Maybe I’m slow, but I had not considered the possibility that the FBI added false information into the “Epstein files” so that revealing the contents would unjustly identify a lot of Republicans in congress in order to impact the 2026 mid-terms. That’s the first idea I’ve heard that makes me pause and think that the “cover-up” might possibly be a reasonable action.
Trumps actions in regards to Epstein only don’t make sense if you believe he doesn’t want them to be released.
huh? you say...
well remember the entire left has TDS, so they reflexively do exactly the opposite of Trump no matter what!
SO... Trump knowing this and WANTING the files released, but knowing he doesn’t have the Republican votes to do so.. simply says he is now against the release... Liberals then line up to support the release along with honest Republicans and *pow* just like that, everything gets released.
Nothing new in that article.
Votes? He needs no house and senate votes. He simply orders DOJ to release the files.
That’s right. Trump doesn’t want to release the files. He doesn’t need permission, he just needs to want to release them, and he doesn’t want to release them.
The Democrats tried to make a motion to force his hand and force DOJ to release the files. The Republicans in Congress blocked that motion. The Republicans are working very hard to make sure that the Epstein information stays hidden. This isn’t 4D chess. There is no clever strategy here to trick the Democrats into a mistake. This is a cover-up led by Republicans.
yes... unless he made a deal not to release it in order to get certain Republican votes for the Big Beautiful Bill. But if a super majority of Democrats and honest Republicans pass a law to force the release... Trump can throw up his hands and said.. well.. I tried! LMAO
If? Well, if he didn’t do that and the house and senate didn’t do that, then we’re back to square one.
Nothing new about that aspect as it
has been going on since time began.
Who is the doer may change at times.
BTTT
You better believe it. The chain of custody on all things Epstein has more broken links than a Biden-era border fence at Eagle Pass. By now, they will have have had the time and talent to "prove" that Epstein was recruited by Ronald Reagan himself. All roads lead back to the post-GHWB FBI (as a CIA cutout) and the SDNY-centric DOJ... part of the Clinton/Obama/Autopen administations and shadow government arms of the DS. Anything the sandbagging, still-infiltrated FBI releases at this time is as suspicious as a black Hyundai Sonata with expired NY plates and a back seat full of white powder in small cellophane baggies.
It puts me in mind of a story I read a long time ago...
"One day atter Brer C'nserv'tiv fool 'im wid dat MAGA root, Brer FBI went ter wuk en got 'im some tar, en mix it wid some malarkey, en fix up a contrapshun w'at he call a Tar-Epstein, en he tuck dish yer Tar-Epstein en he sot 'im in de big road, en den he lay off in de bushes fer to see what de news wuz gwine ter be. En he didn't hatter wait long, nudder, kaze bimeby here come Brer C'nserv'tiv pacin' down de road—lippity-clippity, clippity-lippity—dez ez sassy ez a jay-bird.
Brer FBI, he lay low.
Brer C'nserv'tiv come prancin' 'long twel he spy de Tar-Baby, en den he fotch up on his behime legs like he wuz 'stonished. De Tar-Epstein, he sot dar, he did, en Brer FBI, he lay low.
'Mawnin'!' sez Brer C'nserv'tiv, sezee—'nice wedder for findin' stuff out dis mawnin',' sezee.
Tar-Epstein ain't sayin' nuthin', en Brer FBI he lay low..."
Bkmk
There used to be a foot powder called “Keep it in Your Sneaker.”
The Trump policy on Epstein is “Sneak it in Your Keeper.”
There are a few names.On that list.Revealing them would cause problems for the mid terms IMHO.
So we move on I reckon.There is always after.
