Many think Trump is being dismissive of the Epstein thing -- cavalier. I don't read it that way. I think he's pissed. He has racked up amazing, unprecedented policy accomplishments and Epstein is sucking the wind out of it -- not to just to his detriment, but ultimately to ours.

I think we're being presented with a false choice: you either favor full disclosure no matter the law and consequences about which we have no knowledge, or you're a pedi-protector.

Do you all really believe Kash Patel and Dan Bongino, let alone Pam Bondi despite her PR missteps, have something to hide here? Is it conceivable that Patel and Bongino have railed about this issue for some time and now have some nefarious motive in changing their position? Did they find out -- unbeknownst to themselves -- that they are on the list?

Could there be some plausible explanation as to why they are playing their cards close to the vest for the time being, or is the fact that they're doing so proof that they are suddenly embroiled in corruption?

That is not plausible to me. I don't think these people changed their stripes that quickly. And I don't think my willingness to trust them -- makes me an enabler of corruption or perversion.

Back to Trump. If he were implicated the Dems would have crucified him when they had sole possession of the materials -- files, list or no list. You know it. I know it.

But now people who have doggedly supported him even through tougher times are turning on him and piling on with the opportunistic Democrats who heretofore haven't given two shakes about any of this.

None of us knows the full story yet. None of us knows yet why the administration hasn't done a better job explaining at least that they'll be able to tell us more later.

But it seems many have so much invested in believing the worst about this -- that Epstein was the leader or at the center of a Robert Ludlum-level international conspiracy -- that they can't let it go. It's as if their worldview will crumble if their worst suspicions aren't vindicated. And if Trump and his administration happen to be in office when this whole thing fizzles, then they too must have been nefariously drawn into this conspiracy that is too powerful even for the fiercest of otherwise moral mortals.

In the meantime, Trump's heyday is being rained on and he feels betrayed by a bunch of supporters who in turn feel that he's betrayed them.

Well, I'm just asking for a little grace on both sides, especially the supporters who should at least give Trump, Bongino, Patel, and even Bondi some trust here before throwing them to the dogs. There has to be more to the story -- or possibly way less to the story.

But this idea that previously non-corrupt people have immediately become corrupt just doesn't pass the smell test for me and it surprises me that so many supporters have been so quick to jump ship.

And I repeat -- no way in hell I'm defending the protection or insulation of pedophiles or corruption. Trump's policies on the border alone have burnished his credentials as an enemy of trafficking and pedophilia. (I'm not intending to conflate the different issues, but he deserves credit for that).
