Dershowitz insists that Epstein had no links to Israeli intelligence and stated there was no larger conspiracy.


“Trump was supposed to be


the bull in the china shop — if you can’t have transparency on the Epstein case, it damag- es all credibility of Trump and will be a cancer on the rest of his presidency, and the greater MAGA movement moving for- ward.” There are signs that the


Trump-MAGA schism might be peaking with the base returning because of their strong loyalty and the lack of a credible alternative. Conservative political con-


sultant and lobbyist Roger Stone, who is Trump’s longest- serving political adviser, told Newsmax that the president has already taken the neces- sary steps to heal the divide and uncover the truth. Trump announced via a


July 17 social media post that he had directed Bondi to “pro- duce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval.” The DOJ responded by


filing a motion on July 18 in Manhattan federal court to unseal grand jury transcripts from the cases of Epstein and Maxwell, citing “extensive public interest” in the matter. Said Stone, “By directing


the attorney general to move in federal court to unseal the indictment for child sex traf- ficking and the indictment for conspiracy to engage in


child sex trafficking, as well as the search warrant for Ep- stein’s home in New York and his island, the president is effectively moving to expose who Epstein was conspiring with to engage in child sex trafficking.” He added: “I think unseal-


ing the grand jury material and the search warrant will tell us most of what we want to know, and the president should also order the unredac- tion of all the material that is already public.” Furthermore, the tide of


MAGA opinion also received a big assist from Rupert Mur- doch’s Wall Street Journal, ac- cording to Stone. In July, the Journal re-


ported on what it described as a previously unseen letter purportedly sent by Trump for Epstein’s 50th birthday. The Journal said the letter in- cluded a drawing of a naked woman and appeared to bear Trump’s signature. Trump has said the draw-


ing is fake and is now suing Murdoch, who also owns Fox News, for defamation. “I think the MAGA com-


munity now fully understands what the president has been saying. The evidence against Jeffrey Epstein has been con- trolled by the notoriously par- tisan left-wing prosecutors in the Southern District


of New York and the FBI’s New York office,” said Stone. “The Wall Street Jour-


nal story about the so-called birthday card from Trump to Jeffrey Epstein is an obvious fugazi. The evidence has been mixed with various fraudu- lent poison pills. This is what the president means when he says it’s a hoax by Comey and Biden.” Bannon agrees. “It was


meant to be a kill shot on Pres- ident Trump’s second term, but it backfired by uniting the MAGA base against a com- mon enemy — the corporate media.” Barnes argues that how the


Trump administration han- dles the Epstein case involves more than just the midterm elections; what unfolds next could significantly impact the belief that America remains a nation committed to equality under the law. “Many Trump voters feel as


if the elite see them as human cattle, whether it’s sending our kids off to foreign wars, the loss of middle-class jobs, or, in this case, allowing the elite to have their way with our children,” said Barnes. “Once again, there is this


feeling that someone will be held accountable, and it seems no one cares. Instead, there is a fear that it will be white- washed, like everything else.”
