Maybe not a distraction, Trump’s defensiveness is too much even for him. It would appear that the files may be this regime’s kryptonite.
More than just sex crimes, it appears that Epstein was officially an Israeli asset and the sex trafficking was a sponsored program for Israel to get leverage on Americans (and others) to support Israeli interests worldwide wide.
Trump was a co-sponsor of the program, but as a Russian agent.
I think the files maybe be proving Trump’s affiliation as a Russian agent.
Everyone knows that Donald Trump was involved with Epstein! We all saw it while it was happening. I don’t understand how they can deny something that we all saw with our own eyes. We saw the partying, there were videos posted. We saw the video of the beauty pageant on the yacht with the 14 year-old girls! There were millions of pictures posted so how can they deny what we’ve already seen?
What a Motley Crew trying to keep the lid on it all. Pam "it's on my desk" Bondi, Kash "I don't recall" Patel, Laura "look at my outfit" Loomer and of course Donald "TACO" Trump etc. etc.
I remember when America was truly great and people voted for moral intelligent kind candidates for president - NOT criminal terrorist leaders/liars/ womanizers. 😢
Won't it be mindboggling that "the Espstein files" are the instrument to demolish MAGA? How can we thank a pedophile and Trump butt buddy for saving the nation? Oh, .... pleeese...
Michael I agree with you completely on all the essentials but allow me to raise a counter argument on tactics. Please forgive the length of this comment.
While it may be true that Epstein is a side show, it’s the gift that keeps on giving. First, I doubt that Trump has the self control to avoid rising to the bait and ignore the issue. If he is incessantly bombarded about Epstein, he will continue to deny and likely lose his cool. But this is only the consolation prize. There is no risk that the main message, Trump’s flagrant abuse of power, will get lost. It won’t.
The main thrust should not be his treatment of migrants, despicable as it is, but rather his treatment of women. I believe this to be a much more potent issue. After all, there are way more women than migrants and in a much better position to leverage their power. Epstein might be somewhat helpful as a lead-in, but the real story is Trump’s misogyny.
Reinterview victims. Make clear they deserve justice AND compensation. Support their actions to do so. Encourage more victims to come forward. Push the enablers back into the spotlight. Beat on the prison door to reinterview Ms. Maxwell. Paint a vivid picture of what the world would look like for women if the world was made in Trump’s image. Interview women on the street. Interview fathers about how they want the world to treat their daughters. Trump’s treatment of women has been grossly, grossly under appreciated.
Especially put the question to MAGA women. This argument might have some potential to peel women away from MAGA. Imagine how silly they would look on camera squirming to defend Don’s history with women.
Frame the issue as it should be - no woman in her right mind would ever support this creep.
Michael, keep up the good work, I am so grateful for what you do. Please consider taking this approach. If nothing else it is certainly worth the try.

Thanks Popok, it just keeps getting better & better! Don’t say you are going to resign, just do it! Sounds like he’s trying to have someone convince him to stay. If you are that unhappy, just resign already!

I am still not sure Epstein was not murdered. They can't come up with an unaltered video.
There’s a ‘minute’ missing in the Epstein prison video.

That’s because AI by Musk delivered the election to tRump.
Blondi was also the name of Hitler’s dog, who died with him in the Führerbunker. Quite apropos.
That makes sense. Can he separate himself from Bondi blonde? Will he feel inclined to do himself in??
Let’s watch…🍿
Trump won’t get rid of Blondi, she is his eye candy
Eeeewww
Pedophile ring cover-up.
You cover up for a pedophile you are complicit and may as well be a pedophile yourself Dan bundingle bingo

This too shall pass.
Liking Fox where you can just "tell people to go out and do things"? Gotcha, Dan.
Can't say that I'm not disappointed that the first one out isn't someone bigger. Darn. Ka$h should git out now.
On the other hand, Danny Boy could end up sharing some secrets, couldn't he?
Get the knives out ..this is likely the only act of cannibalism I’d be willing to watch (maybe while munching popcorn 🤣)
Love this show and all the up to the minute news! Keep up the great work, Michael and company!
