Guess Who’s Behind WSJ’s Trump-Epstein ‘Bombshell’? It All Comes Together
https://pjmedia.com ^ | July 18, 2025 | Matt Margolis

Posted on 07/18/2025 9:13:08 AM PDT by bitt

The Wall Street Journal embarrassed itself Thursday by hyping a so-called Trump-Epstein “bombshell” that amounted to nothing more than a disputed birthday card from 2003 that they won’t show, and that Trump denies writing and is now suing over. The rest of the story was recycled material long in the public domain. Desperate to revive the left’s failed narrative tying Trump to Epstein, the Journal grasped at straws while ignoring Epstein’s far more substantial connections to powerful Democrats like Bill Clinton, who flew on Epstein’s jet multiple times and visited his island — facts the media still downplays to this day.

Joe Palazzolo, one of the Wall Street Journal reporters who broke the “blockbuster” story, previously worked for Main Justice, which is his only prior reporting experience listed in his bio.

Joe joined the Journal in 2010 from trade publication Main Justice, where he covered the U.S. Justice Department. Before moving to the investigations team in 2019, he reported on national legal affairs for the Journal for seven years, focusing on the nation's prisons, courts, gun laws and law enforcement.

Why does this matter? Well, Main Justice is a publication founded by Mary Jacoby. That name may not be familiar to you, but she is the wife of Glenn Simpson — the guy who founded Fusion GPS. That's the outfit Hillary Clinton and the DNC paid to concoct the infamous Steele Dossier that fueled the Russian collusion hoax.

Guess where Glenn and Mary cut their teeth before exporting their political dirty tricks to the broader media? That’s right —The Wall Street Journal.

big surprise, it’s not if they are connected to a leftist activist, it’s which one they are connected to.

My extremely Liberal Father-in-law lives in CT. He is very proud of the fact that he gets his news from well-rounded sources. He reads the New York Times, and recognizes that they are Liberal (he agrees with everything they say). And, for balance, he also reads The Wall Street Journal (he describes them as “unbelievably right-wing”). With this well-rounded world-view he confidently speaks out on all political matters. Don’t you dare disagree with him. He knows more than you.

Thanks for posting. Excerpted below is a reminder from the article that the Clintons are like the cancer you thought was irradicated but still creeps up.

Jacoby’s not just media-connected; her father is a longtime executive at Stephens Investments, whose attorney back in the day was none other than Hillary Clinton at the Rose Law Firm. It’s all part of the same Clinton-DNC-Fusion GPS web that keeps resurfacing every time there’s a new “scandal” targeting Trump.

Lucky you. I have a complete slew of them

The only one who made any sense was my late aunt who was born in 1909

She would say the media was lying to you. “You’re not getting the whole story there” back in the early eighties. Likely going back to the thirties

Now, no one knows anything but them

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Hilary always seems to be behind this BS whenever it comes out.

Elderly people who don’t want to use internet are reliably brainwashed, in my experience. I used to work with a Downs-like person whose opinions were just msm regurgitation. That’s what I also see in the elderly who read newspapers and watch msm TV. I’m reminded how thankful I am for Elon giving people a voice.

I, too, used to work in academia where there are plenty "Downs-like" people as far as I'm concerned. Including among fellow programmers and statisticians. When they'd bring up some left-wing talking point I always asked, "What does the verifiable math tell us?" They almost never had an answer, even if they had earlier used seemingly related math terms like "trend" or "systemic".

It appears any conspiracy charges that might have run up against any Statute of Limitations was just refreshed yesterday.
