What I REALLY want to know about the news-behind-the-news is, why is Melania suddenly holding press conferences to say that she didn't know nothin' about Jeffrey Epstein and *especially* wasn't having a relationship with him?
I mean, with the right it's ALWAYS projection, right? So if she runs true to form for a conservative this probably means she had an affair with Ghislaine Maxwell.
@cstross She may be trying to get ahead of news that's going to come out about Donald Trump and his connection with Epstein.
Or it may be she was deeper in than we know. She may have known details of Epstein's trafficking. She may even have helped lure other girls into his net.
Anyway, I'm off to make popcorn...
Nixon: "I am not a crook."
Melania: "I have never been legally accused or convicted of a crime in connection with Epstein’s sex trafficking, abuse of minors, and other repulsive behavior."
