We're never gonna get shit are we? I bet they'll run the clock out on people's attention to the matter and then when there's a mass causality shooting quietly bury the story.

I think the attention span thing really comes down to how easily Trump himself can be corralled into shutting up. He keeps bringing up Epstein unprompted, which leads to further interest and questions, which leads to Trump getting mad, which leads Trump into mentioning Epstein unprompted. The Democrats at least know to say absolutely nothing and ignore the topic completely. Trump's handlers so far haven't been great at this.

I dunno. People are going to Trump rallies and holding up Jeffrey Epstein/Trump photos. You want to ruin his fucking presidency, let’s fund some banners to hang all over the country.
