7. Indeed many are working hard not to let the Epstein story die

But as I said, is it still on the front pages/websites/top stories of the MSM? Not so much the past few days

For a little while at least, Rivergate served its purpose as a distraction from, specifically, the meeting Vance planned to have with DOJ and others to strategize around Epstein damage control.

Prepare for further distractions to push Epstein off the front pages/top stories (Trump’s calls for an early census are another distraction for the media)

Right now, the polling looks pretty bad- that’s why the administration is in panic mode. Let’s see what the polls say about Epstein in a few months, maybe early next year- then we’ll know if the distractions served their purpose.
