    Are the MAGA supporters in the US actually aware of all this? Or does this news not even reach them?

    I mean, it seems impossible to spin this obvious cover-up in a way that leaves the regime with any credibility whatsoever. I can’t imagine how that could be done.

      They will take anything they can to convince themselves it’s not real. A podcast I listen to with MAGA parents are now saying Trump is only in them because he was an informant and caught Epstein despite about 1000 cases to the contrary.

      Well, their propaganda machines certainly won’t stop trying with every trick in the book.

      Fox news reporting (if it can even be called that) on the Epstein files is that the DOJ released new documents, with a disclaimer about trump being mentioned. That what the documents suggest about him is false, and if it were true it would’ve been weaponized already.

        Hmm, seems like one can only conclude that they don’t want to know. Today, I watched a House hearing from September in which Kash Patel was questioned. Even then, it was so obvious that it was a cover-up: he awkwardly dodged the most basic questions, couldn’t explain why victims were never interviewed even though they had asked to be, and so on and so forth - a real clown show - and each of the conservative representatives first thanked Patel for his great work and then asked random questions about Antifa or some other nonsense. You would think that no one could accept this – especially not from a party that campaigned on this issue. So I think that either they don’t care or they are ok with it.
