Get this! Mike Johnson is now claiming — with no evidence whatsoever — that Donald Trump once served as an FBI informant to help dismantle sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking network. Johnson told reporters Trump “was an FBI informant in an effort to take Epstein down.”

I’M NOT JOKING!!! 🤣🤣

The problem with the Epstein stuff is that it is, ultimately, all inside baseball. Maybe your podcast of choice has been screaming "Give Us The List!" for years, but it's still just entertainment for an audience.

Materially, none of this matters to the bulk of the population. It isn't that people are buying it. They just have bigger issues in their lives than knowing which celebrities are kiddie diddlers.

It isn't as though even knowing will alter the frequency of child sexual assault in this country. Meanwhile, we've got ICE agents snatching up tens of thousands of migrants and shoving them into black sites. And you know that's becoming an All You Can Rape Buffet.

Johnson can say what he wants. He can sexually assault who he wants. Wouldn't even be the first pedophile Speaker of the House in the news.

The gossip is just gossip. None of it shapes the behaviors of anyone in or near a position of authority.
