The Sudden Epstein Fixation Is About One Thing Only: Getting Trump

Two impeachments didn’t do it. A phony Russian hoax didn’t do it. A dubious election loss didn’t do it. Relentlessly negative coverage didn’t do it. Civil and criminal judgments and massive fines didn’t do it. Two assassination attempts didn’t do it.
Maybe Jeffrey Epstein’s ghost will finally bring Donald Trump down. That seems to be the hope, anyway.
Epstein, who hobnobbed with the rich and famous, had been under investigation since 2005 for sex trafficking and pedophilia, and died in prison six years ago, has been responsible for conspiracy theories for years.
As NPR wrote in 2022:
One clear reason for the staying power of conspiracy theories involving Epstein is his frequent socializing with the world’s rich and famous. He hobnobbed with Bill Clinton, Bill Gates and Donald Trump. Britain’s Prince Andrew lost his royal privileges over sexual assault allegations involving Epstein. Those relationships are potent examples for conspiracists to cast nearly all political events as driven by hidden, sex-fueled abuses and coverups.
In 2023, ABC News reported that “Hundreds of sealed court filings pertaining to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein are set to be made public this week, and several prominent names – including Britain’s Prince Andrew and former President Bill Clinton – are expected to appear in the documents.”
These stories all came and went. Until now.
