Remember- the problem for Trump and the GOP is that this is THEIR baby.
They are the ones who campaigned on this all throughout 2024.
It was people like Patel and Boingboing who promoted the conspiracy theory around these files.
They are the ones who released a bunch of binders (PHASE ONE!) to MAGA influencers - who discovered it was stuff they already knew.
It was AG Blondie who said āTHE FILES ARE ON MY DESK!ā
Democrats didnāt give a shit.
THENā¦
The FBI found Trumpās name all over the files.
Blondie and Kash tell Trump.
Trump tells them to kill it, resulting in the infamous ānothing to see here case closedā memo.
MAGA goes ballistic on Blondie.
Blondie tries to throw Kash and Boingboing under the bus.
Kash and Boingboing retaliate.
Democrats say āheeyyyā¦.maybe releasing these files isnāt a bad idea!ā
And guess what? MAGA AGREES!
The Democrats didnāt a great job just applying gentle pressure, simply saying āRelease the Epstein Filesā as a retort to any idiotic thing MAGA reps said.
Now the GOP is stuck in a trap of their own creation, and cannot make it go away.
Glorious.
