I don’t think the Democrats really thought about the can of worms they were opening up when they tried to smear President Donald Trump over the Epstein files.
The Democrats’ X account ran with the ridiculous story that Trump spent Thanksgiving 2017 with Epstein, even though his every movement was tracked that day as president. He spent it visiting military members and with family. The Democrats account then deleted the tweet they had posted.
Now it’s getting even more problematic for them; new information is coming back on one of their own, big time.
The Washington Post dropped a bombshell that Epstein appeared to have been communicating with Democrat Del. Stacey Plaskett, the non-voting delegate from the Virgin Islands, during a congressional hearing in February 2019. So this would have been well after the allegations about Epstein were all over the news, and he was a known convicted sex offender. The Virgin Islands is where Epstein’s infamous island is Little St. James.
The name was redacted in the documents. I wonder why? But the WaPo was able to figure out who it was by comparing the texts to the action at the hearing. more
I think they knew about the can of worms they were opening. President Trump holds all the cards. People will forget about this before the mid-term elections if it blows up now. Then they’ll obediently move on to the current thing.
My inclination is that Trump and his team have been thinking four moves ahead since before he came into office and are letting the opponents of the American people keep digging themselves deeper into a trap.
JDHasty I agree. Trump is a huge fan of Sun Tzu. Alot of his public persona is bluff and to put his opponents off-target. He does most of his work quietly and without fanfare because there’s more to come.
