> If anything this stuff helps real crooks like Epstein by muddying the water and making the whole subject area look silly. I sometimes wonder if some of it is intentional. Seems like a great way to cover things up in an age where actually keeping secrets is hard.
Absolutely. Karl Rove famously said something to the effect of "accuse them of what you're the most guilty of".
My money says that's why there is the Pizzagate thing -- Trump's clear ties to Epstein are absolutely damming, so spin up the Pizzagate and make sure to mention Bill Clinton's ties to Epstein as well.

There is a RAND Corp report about this: The Russian Firehose [of Propaganda]
