Bibi is threatening to release photos or whatever that involve Melania

because he is holding off on threatening Trump in person so that Trump will be able to remain President. Bibi might be able to get what he wants if Trump wants to protect his wife, and he's holding off on the stuff showing Trump in criminal acts with girls as a second line of attack.

IMO

They already know The Dotard is a pedo rapist and they don't care. They have known for a long time, and not cared during any of that time. Melanoma being involved wouldn't make any difference.

that go round and round. I agree that the MAGAs, at least, don't care (I recently learned that they are so hot to get the files released because they think Hillary Clinton is going to be exposed as the pedophile queen), and regular, stupid, republicans will swallow anything the Donald tosses them, but it will be a very bad look for Trump not to be gallant in defending his wife, the movie star.

to appoint Bibi's BFF, Charles Kushner, to be the Ambassador to France.

Not Jared.

She's been trying to establish and polish her personal "brand" lately. Her despicable meal ticket is circling the drain, and her focus on selling herself as a "visionary creative" with entrepreneurial and high tech interests points to the type of billionaire she wants to snag for her next chapter. However, it's dawned on her that her Epstein connection has become a toxic liability, and that she could very likely become a social pariah unless she succeeds in distancing herself from him and portraying herself as a victim of slander instead of a willing collaborator. Just my hunch. Others may be correct and that she is trying to neutralize an upcoming bombshell revelation.

That's it - that's the bombshell that they do not want you to know. That's the reason why there's so much redaction. He's the biggest name on there. Even above Trump. If the truth got out, it would be a career ender for him.
