Two impeachments didn’t do it. A phony Russian hoax didn’t do it. A dubious election loss didn’t do it. Relentlessly negative coverage didn’t do it. Civil and criminal judgments and massive fines didn’t do it. Two assassination attempts didn’t do it.
Maybe Jeffrey Epstein’s ghost will finally bring Donald Trump down. That seems to be the hope, anyway.
Epstein, who hobnobbed with the rich and famous, had been under investigation since 2005 for sex trafficking and pedophilia, and died in prison six years ago, has been responsible for conspiracy theories for years.
As NPR wrote in 2022:
One clear reason for the staying power of conspiracy theories involving Epstein is his frequent socializing with the world’s rich and famous. He hobnobbed with Bill Clinton, Bill Gates and Donald Trump. Britain’s Prince Andrew lost his royal privileges over sexual assault allegations involving Epstein. Those relationships are potent examples for conspiracists to cast nearly all political events as driven by hidden, sex-fueled abuses and coverups.
In 2023, ABC News reported that “Hundreds of sealed court filings pertaining to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein are set to be made public this week, and several prominent names – including Britain’s Prince Andrew and former President Bill Clinton – are expected to appear in the documents.”
These stories all came and went. Until now.
Today’s Epstein coverage gives new meaning to “flooding the zone.” Take a look at a recent front page of left-leaning news aggregator site Memeorandum. In all our years covering politics, we’ve rarely seen anything like it.
True, there is news. Attorney General Pam Bondi badly fumbled the issue of the Epstein client list. Trump has bashed supporters for fixating on Epstein. He’s suing the Wall Street Journal for reporting on a supposed birthday card sent to Epstein way back in 2003 (which was two years before the Palm Beach police started investigating a parent’s claim that Epstein had sex with her 14-year-old daughter).
