Wanna be wrong, but it looks like the Epstein story is over.

The number of Trump supporters who don't know he's a pedo is now zero. The number who care? Also zero.

Of course they don't care about his involvement

They DO care about the conspiracies they were fed about pedo rings, pizza basements, etc. Trump promised to show them the evidence!!

They don't want to look like morons

With the combination of the victims list and the inevitable vote, this is going to destroy the GOP in the midterms. The only question is how bad.

I doubt they care that he did the same to children.

If they did, he'd be somewhere else bitching about a stolen 'lection.

That they cannot understand the enormity of it. It is quite possible that the upcoming events could change that. Which is why the white house is showing visible fear of the internal rebellion within GOP ranks in the house.

Everyone has known Epstein was a serial abuser and Trump's bestie since before Trump ran in 2015. MAGAts have never cared, and never will.

As far as I'm concerned, anyone who claims they didn't know about Trump being a sex predator and/or Trump-Epstein is a willfully "ignorant" plausible-deniability-seeking liar.

When people shut their eyes and plug their ears, and then claim not to have seen or heard what was right in their face, that isn't justly called a lack of knowledge. That is dishonesty.

Seems to me it's gathering more momentum. It's potentially a bigger story than just whether and how Trump was involved - it's a story about a cover-up, and not just about Trump. The background has a lot to do with large amounts of money, and why Epstein was let off the hook in 2007-08 (with a no-prosecution agreement covering a number of people). There's a lot of dirt to be uncovered, and Epstein's victims are determined to get the story out regardless of who else is involved.

You do not appear to be very observant of what is going on. There are now more and more women victims willing to tell what happened. They are forming a group and are going to write a list of the perpetrators. Some of the GOp crazy (MTG, Massie ) have taken up the cause and are willing to go to the floor of Congress and read it (protected by the debate clause).

If anything, its heating up.
