Yes, this may be a smoke screen, BUT I do think not letting go of the idea that Epstein and Trump had customers is also pretty important.

I think it's having the opposite effect. The trickling out of information is good to keep the public engaged with the Epstein documents for a long time. Will it ultimately get us any sort of justice? Not with this fucking joke of a federal administration, but it does shine a consistent spotlight on the evils all these billionaires are doing. Compared to the Panama Papers where everything came out at once, the outrage died down pretty quickly once the next news cycle revved up. This is a smoldering fire that keeps being fed the longer the little bombshells periodically come out.

Ya but these guys are still very very powerful and will doubtfully go down as a scapegoat.
