2. It bugs me that after all these years, the Trump DOJ...

is the one one seeming OK letting the narrative get out there that Trump and Epstein were all but beat friends. Of course, for years, we’ve known they had some level of friendship.

If they were as close as it’s recently purported to be, one would think there could be fairly damning evidence. If so, why would it now just be coming out with the doing of his own administration and why wasnt it used to blow a hole in the side of the Trump 2024 campaign.

My theory: Evidence will show a relationship but not a close one and especially not close in recent years. The DOJ is feeding the media enough of that evidence to create the narrative there may be some there there. Meanwhile, we are gathering our pitchforks and lighting our torches to storm the WH demanding harsh punishment, then BOOM! They’ll release evidence showing Trump and Epstein really werent that close. At the same time, they’ll release loads of solid evidence implicating many others. Then, the same MSM that was ready to string up Trump will have to decide whether to muster up the same indignation with others who are implicated with evidence much worse than anything Trump was accused of.

If there was evidence against Trump that is truly as bad as we are currently being led to believe, why wasnt it used to keep him out of the WH? If it existed, there is no way Obama and Biden’s DOJs wouldnt have used it. So, I have skepticism that it exists. I hope I’m wrong.
