Three ways the Epstein scandal can go to Trump

If the Republican leaders in Washington hope that the convenience of Congress that lasted for a month will help that Jeffrey Epstein has decreased, this week’s insanity has destroyed those hopes – at least at the present time.

Last Friday, the Ministry of Justice issued more than 33,000 pages of documents related to its investigation in Epstein in sex trafficking for children. By Monday, it is a consensus that most of the information was already available to the public or of little importance.

Early in the week, Republican Thomas Massi from Kentucky and Democrat Rowa from California has resumed their efforts to collect support for the “discharge petition” in the House of Representatives that would compel vote to launch public information from the government’s government case information.

On Wednesday, a group of Epstein’s victims and their families held a press conference on the steps of the Capitol to support the discharge petition and the call for a full disclosure in the Ibstein case.

Completely, it is a kind of attention that helped the story storm the awareness of the largest audience. But will you stay there? Below is the possible scenarios of what happens after that.

The press conference of the victims can represent a dramatic turn in the Epstein epic.

Among the missing persons from the Washington dialogue, which focused on the lists of customers and the potential participation of the wealthy and the strong, the faces of those whose lives were affected or destroyed as children by the crimes of Epstein.

The gathering in the Capitol on Wednesday put these victims in the foreground and the center – with an additional promise that they will not be silenced.

For several months, Donald Trump has tried to get rid of criticism of his administration’s dealings with the Ibstein issue as a “trick” committed by his political enemies.

This strategy, despite its effectiveness in the past, has become the most difficult in this case.

And if Massi and Khanna succeeded in forcing him to vote by the House of Representatives to publicly release all the remaining Epstein files – there is new political information in it that includes Trump or other high -level political figures – the dam can break.

The White House denied a report on the Wall Street Journal that Trump told him in May by the Prosecutor that his name appeared in the files related to investigations against Epstein, who took his life in prison awaiting trial.

He was a friend of two in the nineties and early the first decade of the twentieth century, but it was called not evidence of any criminal activity. Trump has not been accused by investigators of violations regarding the I Ibstein’s issue.

Even if there is no “customer list” of the rich and strong Epstein, the victims may exist. They promised to assemble the names of those who said they were linking close relationships with Epstein and were in contact with his wrongful actions.

“I am not afraid to name the names,” said Megor Taylor Green of Georgia, a Republican member of Congress and is usually born in Trump. “Thus, if they want to give me a list, I will walk in the Capitol on the floor of the house and I will say every name of the curse of the abuse of these women.”

This is the type of ingredients that can be surprised by the story of Epstein with the shift of summer to autumn.

Perhaps there is nothing new in any new Epstein documents that make it in the public domain. Or, Congress may be to force general disclosure. Even even though victims and their families become more clear, it is the new disclosure or information that drives news and publicly transferring public opinion.

In this scenario, Epstein’s story does not disappear completely, but it never becomes a kind of crisis that causes permanent political damage to the Trump administration. It is distraction, not a disorder.

While the Republican Party is preparing for Congress elections in the middle of the period in the next year, which is closely formed, so that a modest restoration process on their public approval – a transformation that prevents them from focusing on a more useful message to the campaign – can have great consequences for the voting.

Trump also indicated on Tuesday, it is difficult to crush the conspiracy theory. He directed the similarities with the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963 and his recent orders to launch more government documents.

“You know this reminds me of a little Kennedy’s situation,” he said. “We have given them everything over and over, more and more and more, and no one is satisfied.”

Trump will be more familiar with the last plot about the birthplace of former President Barack Obama. The White House issued short and long testimonies that Obama was born on the soil of the United States, but the skeptics, most notably Trump himself, were never satisfied.

Turnabout, as they say, is clean play.

If there is an undeniable force that Trump has shown over the ten years in the national political spotlight, then this is the ability to outperform every scandal and controversy that comes on his way. While Epstein’s story has a poisonous mixture of power, abuse, sex and influence, there is no indication that this will be different.

“He did it before, and he will do it again,” is a talisman that the White House is looking for a scenario of the best condition he might want to repeat. Without the new disclosure, the audience will eventually get tired of this story – or it will be buried by a new scandal, conflict or madness of the media.

If so, the Epstein epic will return to the Internet corners and political margin, and join Kennedy’s assassination, the US moon’s landing, and yes, Obama’s birth certificate as the axis of a little obsessive.

This justice may not be – it may be too late – but it will not be an unfamiliar end in modern American policy.
