Is the Epstein dam about to burst? [View all]

I've seen a few articles in the last 3-4 days stating the Republicans are reading bits and pieces of Epstein material and are coming out shaken, one was in tears.

Now we learn that Epstein owned a ranch in New Mexico and the state legislature has just ordered that the ranch be seized and searched.

In general, the constant drumbeat of Epstien, Epstein, Epstein just does not stop.

Am I being too optimistic, or, is there a dam about to burst?

If so, who will be swept away and who will survive the flood?
