Trump has never sued Michael Wolff, which is strange, or is it?
MICHAEL WOLFF:
As you say, everything else does blow over. So, why wouldnt this? The reasons this might not blow over, or might at least continue to hover around, are that, in a way, I think whats going on here is the beginning of the lame duck phase [of the Trump presidency]. Many of the MAGA people out there are likely positioning themselves for when the action really begins over who will take over, who will be the MAGA voice. All of these aspirational people in the MAGA universe Zfrom [Steve] Bannon to Tucker Carlsonhave to not only distance themselves from Trump at some point, but also reposition themselves against [J.D.] Vance, who goes into this as the favorite. The more they can create a situation that ties Vance to Trump and to hiding Epstein, the more it benefits them. I think thats one of the dynamics at play. Another dynamic is that there is a lot there, and Trump is highly vulnerable on this. He had a close relationship with Epstein for more than a decade, and Im not sure how he can quite escape that, although, admittedly, he has until now.

Wolf must be telling the truth.

(5,967 posts)Because each time it came up, the media would show the Epstein/Clinton pictures. Even though there is no evidence Bill did anything except get free plane rides and donations to his foundation.
I really think Trump was able to dodge this because of lazy reporting. And the last 4 years was focused on the fact that Trump initiated the January 6th insurrection and he stole classified documents.
