Damn Dots Again

One of the disheartening aspects of being entertained by delving into and avidly following politics in the United States is the attendant cliches that need to be constantly endured.

Some time, some place, in a distant past, often not even this current century, some wag came up with a clever way to reference some then- current situation or activity: "connect the dots" and "wake up call" come to mind, and the phrase is immediately catapulted for use ever after.

On the spot a forever-after-unavoidable magna cliche is born.

So, it's amusing to see one of those cliches screaming its lungs out and, so far, being ignored and kept in the corner.

There are some dots jumping up and down for attention and connection.

None of what I am submitting, below, has been researched or verified and, I believe, is to the best of my ability an example of my design point for this blog - to have the fakest of fake news - one of my finest efforts to date.

In fact it can best be treated as act of speculative dystopian fiction with a taint of trump.

A. In February, Pam Bondi, the US AG told Fox News that Epstein’s client list was “sitting on her desk right now to review”.

B. In May, Attorney General Pam Bondi allegedly informed Donald Trump that his name appeared multiple times in the Epstein files during a routine White House briefing.

C. In June, Elon Musk tweeted "Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public."

D. In early July, a memo co-authored by the FBI and the Justice Department (Bondi and Patel) alleged that there was no evidence to suggest Epstein was killed or that he held a client list to blackmail people.

E. In mid-July a Wall Street Journal article described a risqué letter from trump included in a leather-bound album assembled by Ghislaine Maxwell for Epstein’s 50th birthday in 2003. The letter reportedly featured typewritten text inside a hand-drawn outline of a nude woman, ending with the phrase: “Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret” and the donald's signature placed in the drawing where pubic hair might be.

F. A few days later in July, Alan Dershowitz said Maxwell is the “Rosetta Stone” and called for Ghislaine Maxwell to be granted use immunity so she could testify before Congress. “She knows everything,” he said. “She arranged every single trip with everybody”.

So far all of that stuff is just floating around unsorted and un-attended in the great universal news cycle.

I suggest that A. plus B. plus C. plus D. plus E. equals fire in the smoke, and, therefore, F.
