And all of a sudden, the Epstein files were no longer an issue. From Wise Wolf at wisewolfmedia.substack.com:
Right when Trump’s Epstein links were getting scrutiny—enter Russiagate.

The magician steps onto the stage, adjusts his top hat, and grins at the mesmerized audience.
“For my next trick, I’m going to make the biggest scandal in American history completely disappear before your very eyes. Watch closely—but not too closely—as I perform the ancient art of misdirection on an entire nation.”
The Setup: “Behold, the Epstein Files!”

The magician dramatically produces a thick folder labeled “EPSTEIN CLIENT LIST”.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the FBI promised you something spectacular. Names! Connections! Finally, answers about how a convicted pedophile operated at the highest levels of power for decades. The audience—that’s you, America—leaned forward in anticipation.”
People started asking uncomfortable questions. Real questions. Who was on that list? How deep did this corruption go? Even Trump supporters began wondering why their hero was telling them to stop asking about Epstein entirely.

The magician waves his hand dismissively…
“But then—POOF!—the FBI announced there never was a client list. Nothing to see here, folks. The folder was empty all along!”
But here’s where it gets really interesting, dear audience. While everyone was staring at the empty folder, did anyone notice what was happening in Jeffrey Epstein’s bank accounts? His own brother certainly did. Even though Epstein supposedly died years ago, millions of dollars are still flowing through his accounts. Moving around. Active transfers.
The wrestler grabs the kabuki kayfake chair and the crowd goes wild.
Everyone knows the Chicago jesus messiah (THE ONE!) and Slick Willie/Cruella Pantsuit will suffer no consequences for their actions.
You don’t throw away a decades long blackmail leverage operation.
