Wow you're totally right. Just like refraining from seating a supreme court justice, America should never report on timely newsworthy events if they occur during an election year. The media should have waiting for months and months before reporting on the Epstein developments - that would have put the conspiracy theories to bed, right? You're a clever guy to have figured that out

Stop being a disingenuous shit, you know exactly what my point was. And if there actually was anything actionable about this, then why didn't it stick around like Hunter Biden's laptop? Oh, no, wait, because Trump magically silenced everyone involved using his power as President, right? Amazing how he could apparently do that when Joe couldn't.

I don't. Please rephrase it. You complained about timing ("they're all from an election year")

Should we not arrest pedophiles until the midterms? Should editors not report stories until after the vote? What was your point?

why didn't it stick around like Hunter Biden's laptop

You're literally commenting under a piece of the story which stuck around.

Meanwhile conservatives complain that Hunter laptop stories get zero traction In the press.

It's interesting that you didn't ask - why didn't the lawsuits stick around? (They did). It was the stories you asked about. Because that's how you engage with reality - as memes and narratives. Wouldn't you have asked - hey why did E Jean Carrol only sue trump for forcing his fingers into her vagina during an election year? Then we could have checked - ah, no, the case is still going. But it was the stories you asked about, because they're how you engage with reality

No, I won't rephrase it, I said it exactly as I meant to say it. Whatever truth there might be those claims, they only became notable when Donald Trump became a realistic prospect for the role of President.

But it was the stories you asked about, because they're how you engage with reality

You present stories as evidence in support of your arguments, then complain that the stories are what I engage with. But then, having seen your comments and post elsewhere on this site, that's about the sort of thinking I should expect from you, and it's entirely my fault for making the mistake of engaging you for any reason. Lesson learned!

I see the problem that we're having with communication here.

There is a fact which is known to me but unknown to you.

The knowing of this fact would change the way you are approaching this timing issue.

Here is the fact.

The timing is not a conspiracy but you're correct that it's also not a coincidence. Yes, in this case your danger-sense was tingling correctly, but there was a fact missing. It was no coincidence.

The explanation for the timing issue is that a lady called Julie Brown spent time in 2016 investigating sex trafficking cases in Florida.

Because trump was appointing Acosta as labor secretary, Acosta was in the news, and Julie wanted to learn more about the 2000's sweetheart deal that Acosta gave to Epstein.

So Julie did the gumshoe work, knocked on doors, tracked down victims and put together stories like this one.

The DoJ's New York southern district office covers Manhattan of course, and there's pretty strong jurisprudence that Manhattan includes basically the entire planet, so it was SDNY who dropped the indictment in 2019 thanks to Julie reopening the public interest.

I am being facetious of course - Epstein's new York apartment was a center of his abuse and so it was a suitable jurisdiction.

So it was directly due to Donald Trump trying to appoint Alex Acosta as labor secretary that this case was reopened. And so you were right that it's no coincidence that the Epstein case happened during Trump's term - it's wholey and totally because of trump's history of child rape and ties to monsters of the pedophile underworld
