I’m trying to think of a response to this that’s hacker news-worthy, But it’s kind of astounding, if there goal is to get a group of conspiracy theorists off their scent, it seems like they’ve perhaps handled this in the worst possible way? Could this look any worse? What would you do differently if you were trying to appear more suspicious?

Oh, don't worry, odds are something happens to Ghislaine Maxwell and then we'll never hear the end of it https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/just-like-epstein-ghislaine-maxwells-brother-fears-she-will-be-killed-in-jail/articleshow/122784954.cms https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/just-like-epste...

  She might be cutting a deal with the most corrupt government since the De’ Medici’s.

    She might. And it could still go terribly wrong.

      I believe she’s going to come down with a sudden case of Epstein-Barr Syndrome.

I think their bet is that in the nearly 6 week recess, the Epstein story will die on its own and when Congress reconvenes there'll be a lot of talk about 'moving on' if they're asked about it at all. I don't know if this will work though. People who are motivated about this have been patient for years, and after the administration threw them a bone in February they remained patient for months. Now they smell blood in the water.

  it's a distraction from the Big Beautiful Bill, which annihilated social services and allocated 400 billion to ICE. people ought to be rioting in the streets but everyone is watching trump burn down. by the time Trump gets hit with the 25th and removed ICE will be poised to arrest anyone who blinks out of turn. the final stage of human intelligence asset management is to either evacuate, or burn, the asset. Trump has achieved his primary use case -- the BBB -- and had the chance to manipulate the market enough to make his heir rich. now he's gotta go.
