This is funny, but it's not really what I'm seeing from them. They all seem real upset that the Epstien files aren't being released. So far they're mostly blaming Pam Bondi, but if Trump keeps telling them to forget about Epstien, they might abandon him. They'll bend their conspiracy theories around Trump, but if tries to break them, they'll turn on him (...or say he's been replaced with a deep-state body-double clone).

Or the most likely scenario, target the names other than Trump while in the same breath giving Trump a pass... Like they do with everything.

Yeah, that's certainly what they're doing with Bondi, and I'm sure they'll find other people to attack. But Trump is starting to wade in himself; in a press conference the other day, when a reporter asked him about Epstien, he answered directly, saying something to the effect of, "Why are you still talking about this, who cares?" And the answer is, "his most loyal followers," so we'll see how it shakes out. If he can keep using surrogates to take the blame, he'll probably be fine, but if he keeps commenting directly, he might be in trouble.
