The Jeffrey Epstein saga has become a real-life true crime drama that not only never ends, but has started to consume the very people responsible for its survival, with the latest chapter serving as a reminder that the conspiracy wing of Make America Great Again has learned absolutely nothing from its mistakes. With Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) pushing to release the entire “Epstein files” (whatever that means) and alleged victims of Epstein’s sex trafficking network threatening to name names, Washington is buzzing. Why? Well, because Epstein has now become an anchor around the neck of the Trump administration.
Don’t get me wrong: Epstein was unconscionably evil, and he remains an icon of the sordid underbelly of power and abuse. His victims deserve justice, as does the entire network of immoral men who treated countless women and girls like disposable playthings. But now, thanks to President Donald Trump and his inner circle, this saga is no longer about Epstein or his crimes, but the overarching conspiratorial notion that there is always more to uncover.
