Treason, Epstein, And ‘Distractions’ — A Guide For The Perplexed
I & I Editorial Board
July 28, 2025
Shortly after President Donald Trump accused Barack Obama of treason – an epithet that has been thrown at Trump practically every day – Obama spokesman Patrick Rodenbush said: “These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.”
Distraction from what?
Rodenbush didn’t have to say, because the media have been busy filling in that blank.
“Trump tries to distract from Epstein by casually accusing Obama of treason,” is how MSNBC put it.
CNN’s headline blared that “Trump’s longtime rage at Obama roars back amid Epstein furor.”
“Critics say Trump is trying to distract from Epstein by talking about everything but that,” is how ABC News put it.
Let’s see if we understand this.
We’ve just learned that hundreds of pages of declassified documents appear to show that Barack Obama orchestrated a phony Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) report, issued just before Trump first took office in 2017, that accused Vladimir Putin of ordering an “influence campaign” to “denigrate” Clinton and “help” Trump win the 2016 election, in a apparent attempt to sabotage Trump’s presidency.
