Democrats’ favorite new buzzword
By Kevin Finn

In the film, The Princess Bride, the character Ingio Montoya refers to the word “inconceivable” and says to the villain, “You keep using that word.  I do not think it means what you think it means.”

Much the same can be said of the word “distraction,” as used by the Democrats.  I’ve noticed that it has become a predictable part of the left’s response to any revelation of a faux pas, crime, scandal, or other misdeed committed by one of their members.  It seems as if whenever they’re caught in the act, they attempt to deflect attention away by calling it a distraction.

They just did it again.

On July 22, President Donald Trump held a press conference in the Oval Office and accused former president Barack Obama of “treason” related to alleged 2016 election interference and urged the DOJ to investigate.  In response, Obama’s spokesperson Patrick Rodenbush issued a rare statement, calling the claims “ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction,” dismissing them as an effort to shift focus from Trump’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case files.

Trump did say he'd release the Epstein files.  Now, he's welched on the promise and people are holding him to account.

The American public is desperate for truth be spoken to power.  Releasing the Epstein files was supposed the rot and filth that the rich, powerful, and influential commit when out of public view.  We want to see some rich, powerful bastards get their comeuppance as Karma for the 2008/2009 Fincial Crisis - when and where nobody went to prison for collapsing the entire Global economy.

WTF do Americans have to do to get equal justice, not just selective prosecution?  Those in power have gotten away with too many crimes for too long.

It's a matter of the powerful still being held accountable in the eyes of the unwashed masses.  Failure to release the Epstein files will be seen as an act of complicity with corruption and the corrupt.  It will legitimize conspiracy theories of cabals and deep states.

I agree, Trump should have never even implicitly implied that promise.  He knew the Democrats had years to adulterate the evidence to make it appear Trump was guilty of taking a dip at Epstein's island.

Spot on except for one thing:  the Deep State is not a conspiracy theory, it is simply a short-hand borrowed from Turkish politics for the indisputable fact that permanent bureaucracies, esp. in the intelligence services, act in their own guild interests, rather than the interests of the citizenry, the elected government, or even the national interest as understood by anyone outside the permanent bureaucracy.  Calling it a conspiracy theory is a bit of Deep State propaganda intended to disuade people from looking seriously at the ways permanent bureaucracies undermine democratic governance and (in the American context) the Constitutional order.
