I can’t help wondering if just possibly the people running this country don’t know what they’re doing. The Trumpers, including the genius himself, have done their best to keep the Epstein stuff in the news and now it looks like they’re thinking of letting the country hear once again about how the Russians helped Trump win his elections.
Perhaps when Trump filed his lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal in Florida he figured he’d get Aileen Cannon again, and that she’d make sure everything turned out okay, but that didn’t happen. He’s got a judge that was appointed by Obama, and even if he’d gotten Cannon she likely couldn’t completely shut down the discovery process. I’ve conducted some cross examinations where I sort of tore apart the witness but I can guarantee that any competent lawyer could shred Trump into far small pieces than I ever left behind. He’s the plaintiff and it’s a civil lawsuit. He has to answer questions and there’s a ton of evidence about his ties to Epstein. He can lie all he wants, but he’ll be confronted about those lies and as he’s confronted he’ll not only make the case for his opponents but he’ll give the media lots of stuff to run with. They may even be forced to finally cover his obvious mental decline.
And now Tulsi Gabbard is threatening criminal prosecutions against, among others, John Brennan, the CIA director who reached the obvious conclusion that the Russians were helping Trump. Now, it’s possible that she’s just threatening to do it, and has no real intention of following through. But once again, if she does, he’ll be entitled to a trial and, unless they managed somehow to get Aileen to be the trial judge, he’ll be able to demonstrate the truth and the story, largely buried until now, will be front page news once again.
I am still not confident that we’ll even have elections in 2026, but if we do, and if the votes are honestly counted, Trump and his cohorts penchant for pushing his criminality onto the front page can’t help but turn voters off.
