IS TRUMP IN THE EPSTEIN FILE?
There is irone in the situation that Republicans once accused the Democrats of hiding pedophilia in a Washington pizza parlor.
Mick Mulvaney apparently thinks that Biden did not release file on Epstein compiled by the FBI because there were some Democrats mentioned in it. I think he’s wrong. If Biden knew about the file, I suggest that Biden was just too decent to incite the turmoil that would follow, even if it implicated some members of Congress. Trump’s Republicans just can’t understand how anyone in politics can be other than indecent and corrupt. Most Democrats in Congress are decent people – and a good many Republicans were also decent people, adhering to ethical standards. Trump has now corrupted them his Republican legislators and followers. Those who adhere to a better code of behavior have already left. The Republicans who remain in Congress have already sold out - and Trump has them in his pocket. Will the Epstein file issue change that? Does the fact that some Republicans have called for release of the Epstein file offers some hope that they are considering splitting from Trump.
This controversy has endured over the past week and seems to become more virulent every day – and not because of Democrats. It is Trump’s MAGA base that is keeping it alive – and Democrats are just watching gleefully from the sidelines. Will it bring about Trump’s demise? That’s doubtful – but stranger things have happened.
