The Epstein files. There are no Epstein files. The Epstein list. There is no Epstein list. The concerns about Epstein. There are none. Trust me. [UPDATED]

 

That image was published by Gizmodo. In the context of the latest Trump/Epstein news splats, where Gizmodo suggests Musk attention as a potential Trump Achilles' heel together with Musk having a platform and voice, while suggesting he'll have a third party soon.

Figure things out.

Empty Wheel has a post that there is Achilles' heel potential that Trump would but cannot control. From there, this image, and check it out for context. It's separate from Elon being an empoowered voice which is hard to silence if he pit-bulls onto something.

Like where was that Achilles' heel placed exactly when Epstein was in full flower, and who else had their heels into things? With documenting images/tapes? Why is Bondi instructed to not let stuff out? The Dems did not release any Epstein files or list during Biden's term, but, again, whose heel was where, when? Bipartisan heels at play? 

Who knows, a sub-question being - G. Maxwell, is she under "suicide watch?"

These days, Epstein is again on a roll, but too dead to enjoy it. Maxwell, silence it seems.

Add to that Gizmodo/Elon view and Empty Wheel's Epstein posting, an  Empty Wheel's subsequent post touches another place where Trump/MAGA divisions may form and last. With the sentence, "How the hell is this making America great again?"

If being authoritarian is the game, be competent at it.

Former Israeli PM Naftali Bennett denies conspiracy theories linking Jeffrey Epstein to Mossad

Methinks Mossad and others doth protest too much.  Who else may have funded Epstein? The Iranians? Have the Iranians any alleged frequent Epstein visitor known to the public? Is it relevant that Ms G. Maxwell's father, Robert, a British publisher, per this 1991 JTA coverage had an Israeli state funeral with the highest of praise?

President Chaim Herzog and Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir headed a galaxy of dignitaries and politicians, both government and opposition, who attended the funeral.

Herzog delivered the eulogy for the multimillionaire publisher, whose holdings in Israel. including Ma’ariv, are estimated at $300 million.

” He scaled the heights of human endeavor. Kings and princes waited on him. Many admired him. Many disliked him. But none was indifferent to him,” Herzog said.

And this is about as reliable as Kash and Pam's changing story. But hear the woman out, anyway. With due skepticism, of course. What's expected, with this pending? Not that it's a thumb on the scale, Bondi's DOJ being the putative "adversary" in the Maxwell petition for Supreme Court relief. Filing the opposing brief, posing oral argument, etc.

Where there's smoke, etc., is an old adage for a reason. Generally true. Frequently enough.

And Trump wants to move on to something else, say perhaps, flooding down in Texas. 

So, let's have hearings seems a House mantra whenever hearings could help, or cast shame.

If not the Israelis, then the Russians? Rudy's Ukranians? Our spooks, CIA, DIA or others?
