I keep thinking about how the Epstein stuff had largely faded out of mainstream politics and into meme-level territory before Bondi and Patel consciously decided to make it a big high-profile deal again last spring.

Dems had never focused on Epstein re: Trump. If Trump’s own appointees hadn’t hyped it up (and then very obviously tried to bury it when they realized what was inside), none of this would’ve come to light now, if ever.
