The Dems and their lapdogs with laptops cry Wolff again

What a low and cynical move by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee — releasing just enough of a Jeffrey Epstein email early Wednesday to inspire the most hysterical possible Trump-smearing coverage.

Even as they knew the full facts told a completely different story.

Of course all manner of “responsible” media played along: These lapdogs with laptops offered a host of headlines with some variation of “Trump spent hours alone with Epstein victim” — dirt that in this age of the internet will be the lasting impression many Americans take away, even though it’s centrally false.

Specifically, Dems circulated this carefully redacted email from the vile procurer:

“i want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is trump..[VICTIM] spent hours at my house with him ,, he has never once been mentioned.”

Looks terrible — until you learn that [VICTIM] is the late Virginia Giuffre, who had worked for Trump before she fell into Epstein’s clutches, and had publicly said time and again that the future president never misbehaved in the least toward her.

Plus: Since Giuffre is dead, and so can’t possibly be hurt by any revelations, the only reason to block out her name was to conceal the fact that this gun had no smoke.

Fact is, the full record shows plainly that Epstein hated Trump, resentful that The Donald banned him from Mar-a-Lago long before even his first conviction.

Indeed, another email Dems released confirms that: In a 2016 exchange where salacious gossip-fabricating “journalist” Michael Wolff seems to have been advising Epstein on how to blackmail Trump, the sex criminal admits “trump said he asked me to resign,” then claims “he knew about the girls as he asked ghislaine to stop.”

(The Democrats expect people to trust Epstein’s word, since they’ll believe anyone as long he’s smearing Orange Man.)

After Dems’ bomb dropped, the White House rushed to get the full facts out, and the committee Republicans released 20,000 pages of Epstein documents to let the public see a far fuller story and so decide for itself  — but too late to prevent the initial smear from making a vital first impression.

Indeed, it looks like the committee Dems released their carefully-curated smear precisely to minimize the impact of the full record, which includes (for example) emails that make ex-President Bill Clinton look bad.  

Dems have done this “boy who cried wolf (ahem, Wolff)” routine so many times with “new Trump scandals” that no reasonable outlet should run claims like this without extensive checking to get the full, real story — but the media still went crazy Wednesday morning.

Heck, at this point just seeing that Michael Wolff is involved should make you expect the dirty details to prove baseless.

These people love to wave off New York Post reporting as “tabloid journalism,” but they’re the true gutter-dwellers.
