The Epstein case is going to amount to nothing [View all]

In a week, it will hardly be mentioned, in a month, poof, it will be gone. Trump will do his usual gish gallop thing, and some other shiny thing of the moment will take its place, then another and another, ad infinitum. As far as this "MAGA civil war" goes, it too will amount to nothing. People will fall back in line because there is too much for them to lose if they don't.

As far as the files making some appearance at a future date under a Democratic administration, not happening, there are too many powerful Democrats in those files as well as Republicans for anybody to make them public. Whether Ghislaine Maxwell has any dirt, maybe, maybe not, but given what happened to Jeffery Epstein, she's going to be mum and hope to get out of prison alive.

The Epsein files are a mutual political suicide pact, and nobody is going to pull the pin on that one. If it hasn't happened already, those files will be destroyed, everything swept under the rug, and fades I to a historical footnote. And Trump will pay no price, he is the second coming of Teflon Ron, Teflon Don.
