Trump’s Epstein Diversion: What His ‘Revenge Plan’ Really Means
from Mallen Baker: Faultlines · host Mallen Baker
As he campaigned for re-election, Trump made it quite clear that part of his agenda was one of vengeance against all those he felt had wronged him - especially his political opponents. He appointed slavishly loyal figures to head up all the key agencies - and now that plan is starting to kick into high gear. Pursuing Obama and members of his administration on what appear to be flimsy accusations of 'treason' over Russian interference in the 2016 election. And also, most conveniently for him, finding a way to deflect the focus of attention for the Epstein files onto people like Bill Clinton, rather than Donald Trump. Let's discuss.
