What if the guy was completely invented and we’re being played? You have to ask why. Well, the answers are obvious.

Ahem. ‘In a stunning new development, a fresh look at — hold on, wait a minute, turn up the TV, what’s going on?” And so they’re obligated to report on the “assassination attempt,” and their valiant attempt to get out the Epstein news is once more pushed aside.
