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

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
