. . . hopeful thinking magnified by my hatred of all things Trump . . . However . . . Seems to me as thought there’s a moment coming where the dam breaks and Trump is washed away .

though it is hard to see when you're in the middle of it. This especially seems to be true in the case of all things Epstein related.

Folks have been talking about checking the Epstein New Mexico property area for a long time.
For all the trouble the DoJ have gone to redacting and suppressing evidence, you can be sure the property has been scrubbed by now.

All they can hope for now is a mistake got made or some evidence got missed.

I'm glad they're checking it but it is pretty late ...

The evidence will have been scrubbed or they're furiously double checking now.

Is now owned by Texas Republican Don Huffines.

Likely it has been sanitized.
