Give It Up, Folks: Donald Trump Will Escape Justice for Epstein Too

The
social media that MAGA hangs out on (X, Truth Social, Parler, Facebook, TikTok,
etc.) will steer people to content that either avoids the photos or supports
the claims they are a hoax. AI chatbots like Grok will quickly be tuned and
trained to repeat and support these lies, as Grok already does with Trump’s
claims that the 2020 election was stolen. With this propaganda flooding their
feeds, the MAGA base will never believe the evidence. They’ll angrily call
Republican politicians, demanding that they stand up for the president against
the fake Biden evidence.

But
suppose that Democrats win the House in 2026 and, in the face of all this, work
up the gumption to send articles of impeachment to the Senate. With that sort
of pressure from Trump and his base, I can’t imagine getting to 67 votes in the
Senate. If it looked to be getting close, Trump would pull out all the stops,
including using the Justice Department and Immigration and Customs Enforcement to intimidate wavering Republicans. And if that
failed, he could always invoke the Insurrection Act, declare martial law in the
Capitol, and make sure the vote didn’t happen.

When you
look at the chain of events required for the documents to be released without
edits, scrubs, or redaction, and for them to avoid being destroyed before
Trump’s time in office expires, it’s almost impossible for them to be released
before the 2028 election, much less before next year’s midterms. Factor in the
tools that Trump has available to combat incriminating evidence that’s come to
light, and several miracles or deus ex machina events will have to take
place before Trump pays any sort of price.
