There’s been a lot of speculation about why certain names haven’t surfaced from the Epstein case. Some say Trump is keeping things hidden to protect himself.
It’s a theory.
But does it really add up?
This is the question I’ve been pondering for awhile. Man, I love to ponder. And after much pondering, these are my thoughts.
For the past 8 years, those who loathe the Donald have tried to take him down by throwing everything short of a flaming kitchen sink at him, hoping something would stick. It began during the Presidential Election of 2016 with the now debunked “Steele Dossier” and continued on through trials and indictments and impeachments.
There are people so consumed with hatred for this dude that I suspect they would sell their own mother if it meant putting Trump in prison. We’re talking a rabid, frothing level of loathing—the kind that opens the door of their brains to a vast, echoing great room where Donald J. Trump lives rent free every day. With his shoes off. And an iced-cold bottle of Diet Coke in his hand.
They have tried and tried and tried to take this guy out. Nothing has worked.
And because I know his haters would go to ANY MEASURE to destroy him, it’s actually led me to believe one one thing: Donald Trump is NOT on “The List.”
Because if he was, the Biden Administration-or more accurately whoever was running the Weekend at Bernie’s White House on behalf of Biden- would have published that sucker IMMEDIATELY. If the Donald was on there, it would have been released and splashed across the front pages of every “news” publication from here to eternity. It would be a Netflix documentary by now. The news would have been so non-stop and all encompassing that it would have reached into the farthest corners of the world.
You know, there is a tiny island that sits in the Indian Ocean; it’s North Sentinel Island. It measures only 23 square miles. On this island is a group of indigenous people known as the Sentinelese who have lived in total isolation for up to 60,000 years. The Sentinelese have refused any interaction with the outside world. When the 2004 tsunami hit, authorities flew a helicopter over the island to check on the tribe. A Sentinelese man greeted them by shooting an arrow at the helicopter. These people do NOT want contact. In fact, the Indian government stopped trying to contact the Sentinelese in the 90’s and placed a 3 nautical mile exclusion zone around the island making it illegal to go there. Because of this, we don’t know the language of the Sentinelese, or their customs or how they structure their society.
The Sentinelese reject any and all communication with the outside world. They know nothing of electricity or telephones or cars or WiFi or microwaves or dishwashers or houses or cement or TikTok or Taylor Swift.
And yet, if the Donald was, indeed, “on the list,”there would be so much non-stop coverage from the Biden Administration and the media, even the Sentinelese would know about it.
Bottom line: if Trump’s haters had irrefutable proof, they would have used it. They had four years. They had the power. They had a presidential election. They had every institutional tool in their hands. And yet…crickets.
The fact they didn’t tells me there is nothing to use.
So, of course the question becomes…why not release the info now?
I have a few theories.
Theory 1: There’s no evidence implicating anyone BUT Epstein
Epstein was indicted. Maxwell was indicted. But no one else. Maybe all the damning evidence — the photos, videos, hard drives — was centered only on Epstein. Maybe the only creep caught on camera was the creep himself.
Theory 2: Evidence was destroyed.
I have about as much faith in the FBI as I do the Tooth Fairy, especially after the “Steele Dossier-Russian Collusion” hoax wherein we saw the FBI complicit in the fabrication. The same FBI that played along with a hoax might’ve played janitor with Epstein’s files. Shredders could’ve been running 24/7 at every D.C. office.
Poof! Evidence gone, accountability dodged.
Theory 3: There is stuff to be released, but at a cost.
Of all my theories, this is the one I am leaning into. It’s not a tidy explanation, but how many things in life fit into a neat little box?
Let’s say there’s a mountain of damning stuff implicating powerful men from government, foreign countries and Hollywood. Releasing it would be nuclear. This evidence would light a powder keg so large and volatile that it would blow up everything within a thousand mile radius, turning the entire national conversation into nothing but Epstein. Every headline, Tweet, every panel show would be consumed with this story.
Nothing else would be discussed. The release of this evidence would unleash a media firestorm so massive and all-encompassing, it would eclipse every other issue. Not a single serious policy discussion would survive the blast.
Which poses a problem—particularly if your goal is implementing massive economic reforms.
The knowledge that this powder keg will derail your agenda might keep you from lighting it. Because as explosive as that evidence may be, lighting that match would also torch your entire agenda. All the good things you are trying to do for the country would be consumed in the blaze. I mean, no one’s paying attention to the border or job growth or government waste when Kevin Spacey and a senator are on tape with Epstein.
If the list exists, maybe those on it are being shielded-not for their sake-but because blowing up the system to expose them might just take everyone down with it.
It might be a Spock thing:
I don’t know, kids. I just don’t know. These are all just theories.
Maybe there’s a list. Maybe there’s not. Maybe it’s being hidden to avoid global meltdown. Or maybe it’s just another week in D.C.
But I’ll tell you this…if Trump was on it, we wouldn’t have to wonder…
the DNC would have had it printed on yard signs for every home in America years ago.
Exactly what my husband and I have been saying! They had all of the time in the world. It doesn’t exist with Trumps name on it.
At this point I'm so over all the Epstein hysteria. To the point I'm actively avoiding it (but not your post as you can see 😁. I totally agree if there is a list (and BTW where did knowledge of this list come from?) and the Donald was on it, I'm absolutely certain it would have been front page news around the world and all the way to Mars. I will now crawl back under my rock and tune out again.
