Despite revealing no evidence of wrongdoing by the President at all, the Times answers another “big question” this way, in part:
“What’s the latest? The President’s top advisers gathered in a series of Situation Room meetings as they struggled to contain a scandal engulfing Donald Trump himself. Behind the scenes, the Epstein crisis was paralyzing the Trump administration to a far greater extent than the public knew. In their public statements, Trump’s advisers were full of bravado, dismissing the crisis. In reality, it was consuming the highest ranks of the administration.“
There is no substantive information about what the “scandal” is in the linked article either. That one says that according to moles, leakers or other anonymous and thus untrustworthy sources, the Trump White House is concerned about how the Epstein Files are being used to create the illusion that Trump, over 25 years ago, did something criminal or immoral in the course of knowing Jeffrey Epstein. “The Wall Street Journal was preparing a damaging article about Trump’s relationship with Epstein,” the article says, without a hint of what the allegedly “damaging” information might be. The linked article is yet another effort by infamous Get Trump reporter Maggie Haberman [EA dossier here.]
The Epstein “scandal” is, incredibly, the seventh manufactured scandal concocted by the Axis to rid the Left of the one man it sees as its obstacle to permanent power. The Russian Collusion Hoax was the first. The “Insurrection” lie was the second, which the House Democrats used from 2021 into 2024 to keep the lie alive that the Once and Future POTUS tried to take over the government with a bunch of drunks armed with sticks and bear spray. Three more came in the form of partisan political prosecutions in New York, Georgia and D.C., plus a sexual assault civil case that was enabled by the suspension of a New York statute of limitations specifically so Trump could be targeted. Epstein is #7, and has less substance than any of them.
I have concluded that anyone—friend, social media source, politician, pundit, journalist—who mentions Jeffrey Epstein or “the Epstein Files” in discussing President Trump is 1) uninformed 2) biased, 3) not very bright or 4) gullible to a dangerous degree. In light of how often the President has to put up with this theme, I find his contempt for “fake news” as well as many political enemies particularly justified.
Ethics Alarms 
I’d add, “5) vicious, nasty and not trustworthy.”
I know, right?
This whole Epstein circus is just a straight info op, designed to attack the President with guilt-by-association innuendo and pure fiction couched as “whistle-blowers” and double-secret sources. It has no relationship with reality other than in the minds of the TDS-afflicted Left and possibly the great unwashed masses who too frequently never met a conspiracy theory or rumor that they didn’t buy into lock, stock and barrel.
It’s all garbage. The only difference between this and AI slop is that the people behind the Epstein nonsense are probably (mostly) human beings. This story could’ve been written by the Iranians who peddle their fake garbage “US carrier destroyed by IRGC missle!” accompanied by an AI video.
Whenever I see Epstein’s name, I automatically go past the article to something else. I did the same to this one, then realized, oops, I’ve conditioned myself a bit too well.
It’s really unworthy of the few minutes it took to write this, but if you can sacrifice an hour, I can certainly chip in a few words of agreement.
And still, non of these “journalists” ever address the question, If any of the Epstein rumors were true, why didn’t Obama and/or Biden release the info??
