Trump is giving 'the game away' by keeping the Epstein story alive: conservative analyst
Donald Trump’s latest attempt to blame the Jeffrey Epstein files on Democrats as a hoax is a curious tactic that is now hurting him more than helping him, a conservative journalist remarked on MS NOW on Monday morning.
Appearing on “Morning Joe,” David Drucker of The Dispatch was asked about Trump’s Christmas holiday Truth Social posts, where he melted down over a report of a million more documents related to the convicted sex trafficker and claimed, “The Dems are the ones who worked with Epstein, not Republicans. Release all of their names, embarrass them and get back to helping our country!”
According to Drucker, outbursts like that only keeps the Epstein story on front-page news.
“As a matter of domestic politics here, the president is the one still keeping this alive by his insistence on commenting about this, by the DOJ, at times, appearance of slow-walking of the release of this information,” he pointed out.
“Now that legislation was signed into law by the president in order to do this," Drucker emphasized, "and, of course, you know, Democrats have always understood that there are Democrats that associated with Jeffrey Epstein and people and figures who are associated with Democrats who associated with Jeffrey Epstein. You're not going to embarrass them by releasing information that shows Democrats associated with Jeffrey Epstein, and it sort of gives the game away.”
“So I don't really know what the president is trying to accomplish here," he observed. “If they, you know, if he wanted to tell the DOJ to do anything that would, in a sense, help him politically, he'd tell them, 'Just release it all immediately, get it out there,' and we'd all talk about it, and some of it should be talked about, and then he could move on and talk about things, if he chose to, that voters actually care about.”
