I have to admit the Jeffrey Epstein controversy has me stymied. I understand that they’ve been speculating for years that despite all the evidence, somehow it was Democrats hiding their own misdeeds. So I suppose it came as somewhat of a surprise when Bondi announced that there was no there there, and that the client list she had said was on her desk never actually existed.
But in the past they’ve had no problem consigning Trump’s lies and reversals down the memory hole. Why, all of a sudden, are they shocked that Trump and his minions are lying about something? They’ve been fine with that for years. It can hardly come as a surprise, since they had to know deep down, though they didn’t want to admit it to themselves, that Trump was likely number one on that client list.
Somehow, this thing seems to have some staying power. It may be literally weeks before all the MAGA types forget this ever happened, which would constitute a new record, given that the last record was measured in minutes.
