The difference is one tells a story about a government coverup about aliens from outer space, and the other is about a government coverup of the president of the United States relationship with an internation sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
President Trump's friendship with the late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein goes back decades when the two socialized at soirees with Victoria Secret models, parties in Palm Beach, Florida, and trips between New York and Florida on Epstein's private jet. The same jet took them to Epstein's notorious Lolita Island at least eight times.
Flash forward to 2019 (Trump was president) when Epstein was arrested on sex trafficking charges and he threw him under the bus telling a reporter he "was not a big fan of Epstein. I was not a fan. I haven't spoken to him in 15 years," he falsely claimed.
Conspiracy theorists popped up everywhere after Epstein supposedly committed suicide while locked up and awaiting his fate. Nearly six years later speculation still abounds over what information might be in transcripts and other documents related to the investigation of the wealthy financier who was already a convicted sex offender when he died.
During the 2024 presidential election Trump promised his supporters that he would get to the bottom of the whole Epstein controversy when was re-elected.
That promise has haunted him since. Congressional members from both sides of the aisle motivated by constituents who wanted to know the whole torrid story forced Trump's hand and he was cornered into signing a law demanding the total release of everything in the Epstein files.
What followed was a slow drip of information from the DOJ that was heavily redacted with other documents that were already public. The new law gave the Trump regime a deadline, Dec. 19th, to turn over ALL of the Epstein files.
That didn't happen. Some lawmakers considered taking legal action or contempt charges against DOJ officials for the delays and heavy redactions. Then a surprising thing happened when the DOJ suddenly released over a million files of additional documents on Dec. 27th. That, of course, means more delays.
It's ironic that Trump's own campaign promise has turned into an anchor around his flabby neck. He underestimated how badly his MAGA base wanted ALL of the dirt on the story. Democrats seeing blood in the water also went after the release of the controversial files.
It's a safe bet that 2026 will feature more damning revelations as the Epstein documents continue to come to light and become political bombs throughout the year.
If it turns out that there's a ton of damning evidence against Trump, he will use his real and imagined powers to stay in office. It's going to be up to Congress to impeach him and if the Democrats do as well as expected in the midterms it could happen.
As it Stands, in Part 3 I'll lay out one of Trump's most egregious grifts of 2025 since slithering into office - Pardons for sale.
