Epstein Files is just Russiagate 2.0

It’s a lurid espionage tale for libs to focus and fixate on instead of politics, they love pretending they are main characters in a movie. The pee tape was no different than the Epstein files to them

In both cases, Libs are looking for an easy way out. A win by forfeit / default, waiting for the "law" to come in and hand them the victory because they didn't break any rules and the opponents did.

Libs are treating it like its Russia Gate 2.0 but the key difference is its actually real. That does not mean the libs will get a different outcome, however.

Right, it works because it has broader appeal than just stuffy lib nerds and CIA-believers who were into Russiagate + it's true. Libs don't even know the basics about Epstein though, they don't even know he was CIA and Mossad. They just think he was some rich pimp guy.
