Allow me to say this: “evil beyond belief.”
Oh? Did you think I was talking about convicted child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein? No, my friends, I was referencing a remark that said convicted child sex trafficker made in a newly disclosed email about the sitting president of the United States, Donald J. Trump.
Yeah, let that stew for a spell.
I’ll get back to that…
During a tense press briefing yesterday afternoon – one that didn’t remotely give off the vibe that the walls were closing in on the White House – press secretary Karoline Leavitt declared: “this administration has done more with respect to transparency, when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein, than every administration ever.”
Suffice it to say, the GOP base was unmoved.
In fact, white supremacist, Holocaust denier, and ascendant right-wing icon Nick Fuentes declared online: “MAGA is dead.”
Over the course of the last 24 hours, some 20,000 pages of Jeffrey Epstein’s email and text communications have been released by different actors on the House Oversight Committee. Here is just a VERY SMALL sampling of what’s been disclosed:
- Epstein, in 2011, as he was under investigation and prior to Trump properly entering the political sphere: “i want you to realize that that [sic] dog that hasn’t barked is trump. [REDACTED VICTIM’S NAME] spent hours at my house with him ,, he has never once been mentioned.”
- Epstein, in 2015, as Trump was running for president: “Have them ask my houseman about donald [Trump] almost walking through the door leaving his nose print on the glass as young women were swimming in the pool and he was so focused he walked straight into the door.”
- Epstein, in 2017, soon after Trump’s first election: “I have met some very bad people. None as bad as Trump. Not one decent cell in his body.”
- Epstein, in 2018, more than a year into Trump’s first term: “He feels alone and is nuts!!! I told everyone from day one. Evil beyond belief. Mad, and most thought I was speaking metaphorically.”
- Epstein, in 2018, approximately a year before he was found dead in his prison cell: “You see, I know how dirty donald [Trump] is.”
Game, recognizes game, I suppose? Far be it from me to give kudos to one of the most vile, monstrous characters in modern American history, but it is striking how early and how accurately one villainous member of America’s oligarchic elite got the number of another.
Putting Epstein and Trump’s future bunk bed in Hell aside, this saga raises two points, one about the past and another about the future.
First, how the HECK did the Biden administration sit on this? I’m not suggesting any political prosecution of the stripe that Pam Bondi revels in announcing on the regular. But what “norm” compelled Merrick Garland and his comatose compatriots to actively sit on files suggesting that the then-former president was deeply in bed (no pun intended) with America’s best-known child sex offender – the same files Lauren Boebert is now helping to release, in objectively badass defiance of a White House pressure campaign!
I don’t have a JD, but color me gobsmacked that the… shall we say handsy… congresswoman is doing more for accountability in this country than the man who should have been on the Supreme Court!
Second, and I almost hesitate to put this in writing… is this the moment when Donald Trump’s decade-long dominance of the American political scene enters its final chapter?
There is a lot more to come down the pike, but sudden Situation Room meetings and panicked, breathless calls to backbench lawmakers code a lot more like the Berlin bunker in 1945 than God-King holding court in Mar-a-Lago.
Call me crazy, but there would be some curious irony in the man who was the primary driver of American conspiracy theories from birtherism to QAnon finding himself undone by his role in an awful elite, pedophilic cabal that happens to be… real?
Perhaps the emperor does not yet have no clothes, but he’s rapidly disrobing… perhaps for one of Epstein’s trademark “massages.”
