15. Which in turn suggests the WH strategy would be to leak a fake set first

Leak a fake set of "Epstein Files", then call them out as fakes, accuse Democrats of running another illegal "hoax", threaten to sue anyone who publishes them, and if the actual files then get leaked, leak another fake set shortly thereafter. No way the public can keep the various tranches of leaked files straight, PR problem solved!

F47's crew learned long ago to treat all issues primarily as PR problems and it's worked out for them so far.
