If there's nothing to the Epstein saga, why is Trump so freaked out about it? David French of the NYT says that it's a big deal because MAGA was all in on exposing and taking down the international cabal trafficking children (no matter whether that exists or not), epitomized by Epstein, and now Trump seems to be backing away from doing that. It also seems that Maurene Comey, just fired by Trump, knows more about the evidence against Epstein than anyone, and I think she needs to be part of the story. I also share your pessimistic view that this will not be a big deal, but it's all we've got and so far it's not showing signs of going away.
