When it comes to the Epstein Files, the evidence to murder Venezuelans in small boats or the video of Tom Homan accepting bribes, I remain puzzled by the Administration's actions. Not that they are refusing to release the evidence; that seems perfectly in character.
What puzzles me is that these fuckers feel free to make every batshit statement that pops into their febrile heads - like Tylenol causes autism - without thinking twice.
Why not simply fake some Epstein Files? Or manufacture evidence that Al Qaeda is smuggling drugs through Venezuela? Cook up a video of Homan refusing the money? It's not like they are respecting the law in other realms. They lie and fabricate crap all the time.
Now, at this point, I doubt anyone will believe them it they released a fake Epstein Files that has Epstein lamenting how it was Trump that ratted him out to the Feds. But his base would swallow it whole. Scott Fucking Jennings would crow about it on some stupid fucking panel show on CNN. Part of the media strategy is to flood the zone with bullshit, so why aren't they flooding the zone? It's not because these are people scrupulously following the law.
Either there are some internal guardrails that are actually holding and we don't know about, or there has to be some sort of kill switch mechanism that if Trump released fake evidence, the real evidence would come out. But that doesn't make any sense either. Trump has survived by exploiting the idea of "competing narratives." At this point, everyone assumes there's incredibly damaging information in those files, so why not create a second narrative with fake files?
Maybe they are just too incompetent, but I don't know. This is a head scratcher for me.
