The WSJ, Fox, and Murdoch are in on an Epstein distraction from… Wait for it… Epstein.

In a manner consistent with picking the least terminal of afflictions to portray Trump as having, they sorted through what could be seen as being from the so-called Epstein Files for the biggest meh document they could find and make a big headline grabbing deal of it. The drawing described may be in poor taste, but it can be waved off as Trump being Trump. It has nothing to do with the accusations of pedophilia and human trafficking and may have even been provided by Trump himself.
