The Epstein case is a stinking, glistening turd lying on the White House Portico

Donald Trump is doing everything in his power to distract from the Jeffrey Epstein story. We’re not going to let him.

What do you think the ridiculous National Guard deployment to Washington D.C. is about? It’s not about a crime wave that doesn’t exist. It’s not about public safety. Have you seen the photos and videos of what the National Guard is doing there? They’re standing around in their camo uniforms talking in little groups on the Mall, near the Lincoln Memorial, over near the State Department. They’re not patrolling. They’re not making Washington safer. The only thing they’re doing is distracting from the stench of the Epstein story that has Trump wringing his tiny make-up encrusted hand in frustration and fear.

Trump is now talking about deploying thousands of National Guard soldiers in Chicago. Nobody asked for them. Not the mayor of Chicago. Not the governor of Illinois. In fact, the minute the first National Guard soldier sets foot in Chicago, a lawsuit will be filed challenging Trump’s authority to deploy the Guard without authorization from the state of Illinois.

See what’s going on here? I just Googled Chicago and National Guard and Trump and came up with 18 stories on the first Google page. There are 10 more on the second page, and more on every page thereafter. It’s another distraction: Look over here! I’m threatening to send the National Guard to Chicago and New York! Militarization of law enforcement!

What did Trump get out of that phony meeting with Putin in Alaska? Not a thing. Russia launched a missile and drone attack on Ukraine the day after the meeting. They’ve launched new attacks every day since. Trump was so upset that Russian missile attacks are killing civilians in Ukraine that he threatened sanctions on Russia. Have you read anything about Trump imposing new sanctions on Russia, on Putin personally, on his government ministers, on Russian oligarchs? Of course not.

It's not about ending the war in Ukraine. It’s about distracting from Epstein. The DOJ released 33,000 pages of documents from the so-called “Epstein file” this week. There is nothing new in them. Absolutely zero. Not a single new name, place, or allegation of a crime committed by Epstein or anyone else. It was a distraction.

Same with the release of the “interview” conducted by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche with Epstein co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell. It is stunning, unprecedented, shocking, every descriptive word or phrase you can think of that an official of the Department of Justice, one who had been Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, interviewed a felon convicted of serious sex crimes. What’s in the interview? Nothing of note, other than Maxwell studiedly exonerating Donald Trump from having acted as anything other than a gentleman around all the underage girls who were in his and Epstein’s presence. The interview reads like a pardon application, which is what it was. Almost immediately after it happened, Maxwell was transferred to a minimum-security federal facility – the word “prison” doesn’t apply. They’re paying her off. They’re setting the stage with lies and distraction and getting the American public, especially Trump’s MAGA followers, ready for a day in the not too distant future when Maxwell will be declared a victim of a corrupt prosecution and released with either a commutation or pardon.

Trump pressured Intel to “give” 10 percent of the company to the federal government. One story called it “taking a stake in Intel.” But not one story – not one – explained how it’s going to happen, or what it means that the government will somehow own a portion of a major American corporation. Trump announced that Nvidia has agreed to “give” the federal government 15 percent of all its chip sales to China. Nobody knows how that’s going to work either. It doesn’t matter, because it’s not about chips going to China or Intel stock or anything else. It’s about distracting from the Epstein story.

Why is Trump so panicked about his connection to Jeffrey Epstein? Because he’s dirty all the way up to his triple chins. Have you followed any of the Epstein stories lately? If you did, you would have seen this stunning number that is thrown around so frequently, it has completely lost its meaning: 1,000 victims of Jeffrey Epstein. The horror of that number and what happened to those girls incomprehensible.

What of Epstein himself? Trump’s DOJ tried releasing a phony video that supposedly “proved” that no one entered Epstein’s cell on the night before his body was discovered. It turned out that the video tape was altered. There is a gap. It didn’t come from a single source, one camera. It came from two sources. Why did they take the chance of releasing this easily discounted piece of “evidence?” Because they need to keep the lie alive that he committed suicide.

He didn’t. He was murdered. When did you ever hear of an inmate under suicide watch in a Special Housing Unit designed to ensure that an inmate doesn’t kill himself who is given about five or six sheets for his cell? Look at this photo and tell me what you see:

There are enough sheets for three beds in that photo. Epstein didn’t have a cellmate. Do you really think they would put enough sheets in his cell to make up the upper bunk? They wanted to make sure the words “sheets” and “suicide” were connected, and they went overboard.

Epstein was an existential danger to many powerful men, beginning with the man who was president of the United States on the date of Epstein’s death. The list of men Epstein was connected to includes a former CIA director, a Harvard law professor, the founder of one of the largest technology companies in the world, a man who served on the boards of Starbucks and FedEx, a former prime minister of Israel – we could go on, but it just gets worse. And then it gets even worse. What were these powerful men doing befriending and traveling with and dining with this man, Jeffrey Epstein? Some of them met with him after he had been convicted of a sex crime on state charges in Florida and had served…if coming and going from jail can be called serving… time in jail for the crime.

They’re dirty. They’re dirty just because of their association with Epstein, even if their involvement in his sex crimes cannot be proven. They’re dirty because he was dirty. Powerful men, especially those who become president of the United States after they spent years partying with Epstein, don’t like being endangered by their association with such a man.

We’ll never know who ordered Epstein’s killing, or who actually did it, or how it was carried out, but the absurdity of that prison cell stands. That is not a photo of a cell where a suicide took place. It’s a photo of a crime scene.

Epstein was a disgusting piece of shit who spent most of his adult life raping and sexually assaulting underage girls. The reputation of anyone who associated with him socially, in business, privately or publicly is covered with the DNA of those crimes.

Donald Trump has Epstein DNA smeared all over him. He tries to hide who he is with concealer pancake make-up. It doesn’t work. We know who he is. He is Jeffrey Epstein’s best friend. He’s dirty, as dirty as Epstein was, and that dirt will never come off him.
