    1. It is an interesting thing that the political right, especially the far right, thinks it can make hay out of the Epstein death. A risky strategy considering Epstein died under Trump's watch, Trump's own history with Epstein, and Acosta's sweatheart deal with Epstein.https://twitter.com/CharlesPPierce/status/1196259490007592960 …

    I speak fluent wingnut, I think, but can somebody tell me how “ABC squashed an Epstein Story” helps the president*’s cause, even as a distraction?

        2. "Epstein Didn't Kill Himself" has become a poweful meme, seen everywhere from a hidden acrostic on Paul Gosar's TL to protests defending a bigoted Canadian hockey commentator.https://twitter.com/bruce_arthur/status/1194689197078130688 …

        3. Part of the appeal of Epstein conspiracy theorizing for the right is it lets them recharge the energies of Clinton hatred, a powerful engine that has worked well for them. Even with Trump in the White House, the Clintons are cunning enough to pull of a jail house execution

        4. More broadly, for the really extreme right, the fascists, the Epstein case is a useful recruiting tool because it allows them to adopt the pose of truth tellers willing to say something obvious which the elite is avoiding/hiding. It helps recruit anti-system people.

        5. Bottom line: there's all sorts of good reasons that Epstein's life and death should continue to be investigated, not least because many details stink to high heaven. And as a bonus, investigation helps take issue away from right. More thoughts here: https://www.thenation.com/article/epstein-prince-andrew-conspiracy/ …

        It's not interesting when you remember the media will carry water for even the most egregious gaslighting from the political right.

        It's not that interesting when you consider they have a canned response for Trump's involvement and Bill's extremely more connected to Epstein so they don't care.
