trump thinks he can treat the Epstein story like he did the birth certificate story... [View all]

Remember, after literally years of going on about Pres Obama's birth certificate, once he was elected trump just shrugged and said something to the effect of "that doesn't matter any more." And the media went along and dropped it.

Granted, there is actual evidence in question on the Epstein case, where the Obama birth certificate story was entirely vapor ware, but that doesn't matter to trump. He thinks he can just shrug this off like he did the BC thing. Starting to look like that won't happen this time, and that's a good thing, even though there are probably some high ranking Dems on the list. We already know a few names are on the flight manifests that we don't like to see or hear about, but I don't think there are any witnesses I've heard of that call them out.

We're all assuming that whatever "lists" exist will be populated heavily with Repub and RW higher ups, and rightfully so given the hypocrisy they exhibit in other matters.
