And it did make a concerted effort to back the Trump candidacy on social media.\u00a0\u00a0While there were attempts by Russia to hack actual voting machines, there was no proof\u00a0\u00a0showing an actual impact on the election outcomes.\u00a0But Gabbard took that last point, and built a \u201ccase\u201d saying that Obama altered the intelligence analysis to go after Trump.\u00a0\u00a0That\u2019s not what the Intelligence analysis said (the famous report that Jim Comey presented to Trump in New York prior to his inauguration).\u00a0\u00a0But Gabbard needed a way back into Trump\u2019s good graces. This was her contribution to distract from Epstein.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MAGA Universe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Let\u2019s go back to \u201cphysics\u201d for just a minute.\u00a0\u00a0We know that far-away planetary bodies are often discovered not by being sighted, but by the reaction their gravitational pulls create on known other bodies in space.\u00a0\u00a0The bigger the reaction, the bigger the \u201chidden\u201d body.\u00a0\u00a0Politics is often the same.\u00a0\u00a0If a \u201cstory\u201d is small, then it gets \u201cthrown out\u201d with Friday night \u201cgarbage\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0But if it\u2019s bigger, it takes a lot of other distractions to create political cover.\u00a0\u00a0So how big is the \u201cEpstein Files\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">What we can surmise is that whatever involvement Trump has with Epstein is big enough that it\u2019s worth all of this effort.\u00a0\u00a0And keep in mind:\u00a0\u00a0Democrats like President Bill Clinton, Ambassador Bill Richardson, and Senator George Mitchell are already implicated in Epstein\u2019s sordid activities.\u00a0\u00a0On the surface, that\u2019s something that Trump would blast to the world.
