There is only ONE sentence in Monday's Jeffrey Epstein Politico story by Dasha Burns, "Congress wants to release all Epstein files. Trump worries that won’t be enough," that is really relevant: "No evidence has suggested that Trump took part in Epstein’s crimes."
The rest of the story is nothing but Epstein Slop i.e. utter nonsense and useless speculation whose sole purpose is to bury a highly inconvenient truth for Politico. Therefore let's dig deep down into the middle of the article and observe that one gem that Burns seems to want to hide.
Trump has denied wrongdoing in relation to the Epstein allegations, and no evidence has suggested that Trump took part in Epstein’s crimes. The president also has said he and Epstein had a falling out years ago.
And now we can amuse ourselves by looking at Burns' pathetic attempt to bury that barely seen truth in a wall of Epstein Slop background noise starting with the subtitle: "Trump is also frustrated because he thinks Democrats outmaneuvered the GOP on the debate."
This is a common Epstein Slop technique. Bury the fact that nothing in the Epstein files has implicated Trump in any wrongdoing with a lot of fuss over procedural maneuvers.
White House officials are concerned that even with Congress voting to release the entirety of the Epstein files, the controversy around the late convicted sex offender will continue to swirl.
...The House could advance the bill forcing the disclosure of Justice Department records related to Epstein as soon as Tuesday. The White House official expects the Senate to pass the bill as well, and the president has said he would sign it.
The fast-track movement comes after months of stalling by Republican leaders and immense pressure from the White House to keep a vote from happening.
But Trump, over the last week, realized his vice-like grip over the GOP was not enough to forestall the vote and relented to the “inevitable reality,” the official said. The president changed course Sunday after speaking with many Republicans and concluding dozens of House members planned to cross him.
“The strategy now is give Republicans a perceived win,” the official said. “So they can go back to their districts and say, ‘I voted to release the Epstein files.’”
And all this Epstein Slop comes BEFORE Burns reveals the embarrassing truth of no there there as far as Trump being implicated in any Epstein crime. After the only significant reveal the burial continues with yet more Epstein Slop until it concludes with, you guessed it, overused procedural microanalysis rather than what is actually central to the case which was buried in the middle of the story.
House Republican leaders could put the disclosure bill up for a vote as soon as Tuesday or Wednesday under so-called suspension of the rules, a fast-track procedure requiring a two-thirds majority vote for passage. Senate Majority Leader John Thune isn’t expected to announce whether he will bring up the Epstein measure until it passes the House.
Yada, yada, yada. Perhaps Dasha Burns and her Politico colleagues could spare themselves from continuing their Epstein Slop embarrassment in the future by tattooing on their arms the one overriding truth unveiled thus far as a reminder to avoid writing diversionary nonsense: "No evidence has suggested that Trump took part in Epstein’s crimes."
