A theory. Murdoch planted fake story that gives Trump the ultimate out. He can reverse course, calling again for release of Epstein documents (insignificant GJ ones) and then prove it false thereby casting doubt on the whole thing. Then again. Meanwhile genocide, medicare cuts, floods #epstein #wsj

If this ever does end I hope we will not show the same hatred and vengeance, but rather will focus on restorative justice and support our common humanity. It's going to be a mess. Let cooler heads prevail.
