Are Democrats getting desperate about Epstein?

ARE DEMOCRATS GETTING DESPERATE ABOUT EPSTEIN? For months now, disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein has been the Democratic Party’s go-to subject for attacks on President Donald Trump. Yes, other events have presented an occasional target of opportunity, such as accusing Trump of murdering alleged drug runners or wanting to hang Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), which Kelly seems particularly fond of; he has been fundraising nonstop, sending out emails that begin, “President Trump is calling for me to be hanged.” But Democrats always return to Epstein, much as they did with Russia in the early years of Trump’s first term.

In recent weeks, though, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have gone to extremes, resorting to tampering with documents and doctoring images to suggest that there is evidence linking Trump to Epstein’s wrongdoing. In so doing, they appear desperate to claim that they have found incriminating evidence when they have not. 

Last month, the Oversight Committee, following a subpoena issued by Chairman James Comer (R-KY), received 23,000 emails from the Epstein estate.
