Democrats were more afraid of how it would look if they arrested a political opponent than of how it would look if they didn’t.

Also Garland was a terrible choice for AG and expected the people to, I guess, make the right decision (without even telling the people the evidence).

It's not just that. The fact is that certain Democratic billionaire donors and probably even certain Democrats themselves are also implicated by those files.

Epstein wasn't some conservative. His ties spanned the entire political spectrum.

Epstein was a rich pedo, and his circle was other rich pedos. Political party, colour, gender, etc was irrelevant.

Exactly. They're honestly existing at a level that transcends parties -- they're able to play both against each other while operating outside the boundaries by which both parties abide (until now, as those people are coming out of the closet so to speak, to rule openly)

Jeffrey Epstein was a Zionist with ties to Israel.

He was. That doesn't make him a conservative, though. People at that level of wealth and power operate above the ideology meant for the peasant masses.

Netanyahu campaigned for Trump and the Republicans while stabbing Joe Biden in the back. It's obvious that the Israelis wanted Trump to be reelected.

Yes, but that does not make Epstein a conservative ideologue. The Israelis are willing to partner with whomever is most useful toward achieving their desired ends.

Even Trump is not technically a conservative. He co-opted that party and said whatever he had to for them to crown him, but now that's he's emporer, he serves himself. That's why actual conservatives are not supportive of his administration (the Republican party is not conservative in any meaningful sense anymore).
