Everyone should want answers on Epstein

I’ve never given the MAGA/Trump conspiracy theories much attention. But now I’m starting to wonder. Recent developments have forced me to reconsider, especially as serious accusations and legal findings come to light.

This is a president who declared during his campaign that he would be a “protector of women — whether they liked it or not.” This from a man who was found liable for sexual abuse, resulting in a judgment of $83.3 million in damages.

The Epstein story isn’t just about the sex trafficking and assault of girls. It’s about individuals in positions of power who appear to evade accountability for their actions. They act as though the rules do not apply to them.

Given these circumstances, I believe it’s important to ask: What might the commander in chief and senior staff be trying to hide? Shouldn’t we all be seeking these answers?
