The basic logic of conservatives on the Epstein Files is so naive, it’s borderline deranged. Their basic thinking goes: “You book smart liberals just don’t understand something very simple!
“First, the Democrats introduced Trump to Epstein as part of a decades-long plot before Trump entered politics…
“Then they made him be best friends and sex buddies with him for a decade…
“Then those wily retirees the Clintons had Epstein killed in a federal prison while Trump was the head of the federal government running for reelection in order to embarrass Trump a mere six years later when people would finally start talking about how fishy it all looked…
“Then Obama/Biden/Kamala Harris/kitchen-sink-Democratic-name themselves made the Epstein files for several years so they would eventually be on Pam Bondi’s desk after Trump had already been elected POTUS…
“But then they never used them so Trump’s cult could say “if the files existed how come the Dems didn’t use them against Trump? Huh?” like little boys grasping at straws to explain how their hero isn’t the lifelong sexual predator everyone who’s ever known him says he is…forgetting the Democrats did NOT control their autonomous justice departments (which Trumpers struggle with understanding) and these are the same “calculating liberal justice department” types that thought it was wise to not immediately prosecute Trump for January 6th so they wouldn’t look “partisan” and who have already seen people not give a s*** that Trump was an admitted sexual predator on an Access Hollywood tape, had his first wife make a credible allegation of spousal rape, hit on his own daughter, make sexualized comments towards a ten year old girl, walk in on Teen beauty pageant contestants as they changed clothes, or be an adjudicated rapist in the E. Jean Carroll case…
“Then they made the files disappear from Bondi’s desk and also wiped her memory of their existence so she would look like she was hiding something on this issue. They are so calculating and nefarious!…
“Then they forced Trump to pressure his minions into doing suspicious things like having Elon Musk tweet about Epstein files he has personally seen or having Rupert Murdoch run an actually factual story on things that also exist or firing Maureen Comey from the Justice Department or having Mike Johnson declare a congressional recess early just to avoid House inquiries on Epstein… This is all next level mind control people!
“Now they are forcing Trump to talk about pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell in order to look even more like he’s hiding something! They are truly Machiavellian!…
Lunacy over and me talking again now: Yeah either that incredibly convoluted bullshit is all true or Trump is just simply guilty as hell. I would go with Occam’s Razor.
