“I’m not saying definitively that going to war against Iran when there was no imminent threat is President Trump’s way of distracting attention from the case of Jeffrey Epstein and his voluminous, sordid, incriminating files. Then again, I’m not not saying it. We certainly know that Trump has mused in the past about invading Iran as a plausible response by an American president to his own domestic troubles. … Has the president achieved his presumed objective of knocking the Epstein files off the front page? Not exactly. They may have moved below the fold, as we say in the newspaper biz, but the Epstein scandal is alive and well, jamming the courts, occupying Congressional committees, sparking investigations in at least eight countries and toppling various ‘important’ people.” (03/08/26)
