A striking observation surfaced during a recent CNN segment: the unfolding narrative around the released Epstein Files echoes a familiar pattern for Democrats. Scott Jennings, offering a conservative perspective on the network, boldly equated the current situation to the fervor surrounding the Steele Dossier.
The comparison isn’t accidental. Jennings argues that the Epstein Files have become the latest fixation, a new “shiny object” relentlessly pursued to discredit a specific political figure. It’s a continuation of a strategy, he suggests, born from a persistent unwillingness to accept past electoral outcomes.
Jennings highlighted a coordinated effort to selectively present names from the Epstein documents, aiming to cast aspersions on Donald Trump’s character. He accused Democrats of misleading the public by implying guilt through mere association, a tactic reminiscent of the unsubstantiated claims made during the Russia Collusion investigation.
He emphasized the importance of fully releasing the files as mandated by law, while simultaneously cautioning against the rush to judgment. The process of compiling and reviewing the documents is complex, involving a vast collection of materials from various locations, a detail often overlooked in the immediate rush to condemn.
A crucial point often omitted from the narrative, Jennings noted, is Trump’s role as a whistleblower in the Epstein case. He actively alerted authorities to Epstein’s behavior, a fact that directly contradicts the current attempts to paint him as complicit.
The underlying issue, according to Jennings, isn’t about the files themselves, but about a continuing refusal to reconcile with a past defeat. The relentless pursuit of any available avenue to damage Trump’s reputation reveals a deeper, unresolved animosity.
Ultimately, the Epstein Files, or any similar revelation, are merely tools in a larger, ongoing campaign. Should these documents vanish tomorrow, the motivation to find another means of attack would remain unchanged, fueled by a persistent desire to undo a perceived injustice.
