The Epstein Stuff Probably Won’t Make Bill Clinton’s Teflon Get Sticky – PJ Media

The Epstein Stuff Probably Won’t Make Bill Clinton’s Teflon Get Sticky – PJ Media

Top O’ the Briefing

Happy Tuesday, Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. The fatted narwhal frets not over the sea otter’s insistent ennui.

Forty-plus years of political activism teaches one how to focus one’s energy. There are battles aplenty to be had in any era of American politics, to be sure, but it does seem like there are more of them in the digital media age. Getting outraged about all of them would be exhausting. That’s why I can be a little picky regarding which hot-button issues that are popular at any given time in conservative media.

In a Briefing early last August, I explained my agnostic attitude towards all things Epstein. Well, I explained it a little bit. That was focused on Bill and Hillary Clinton, whose names come up a lot when people are getting excited about the latest Epstein news. That was the last time I wrote about anything related to the Epstein files and I hadn’t really planned on revisiting the drama, but there’s a lot of it this week, so here we go.

This is from Matt:

According to a report from the New York Times, Bill Clinton’s FBI sat on a bombshell complaint about Jeffrey Epstein for nearly a decade. This revelation has me wondering whether Bill Clinton’s cozy relationship with the pedophile financier played any role in that inexcusable inaction.

Former Epstein employee Maria Farmer filed a formal report with the FBI on September 3, 1996, alleging that Epstein possessed child pornography and threatened to burn down her house if she spoke out. Yet, federal authorities under the Clinton administration did absolutely nothing with the information for almost 10 years.

I will admit, that certainly does sound juicy. I don’t know if Bubba is losing any sleep over it, however.

The attraction for conservatives to the Epstein stuff has always been the prospect of something — anything — coming up that would finally get Bill and/or Hillary Clinton in some kind of trouble. As I wrote last August, Mr. and Mrs. C. are conservatives’ Great White Whale. We’re almost 30 years into our dream of seeing either of them face the music. Trust me, I would love to see them taking an extended couple’s retreat at a federal penitentiary.

Sadly, I’ve been around long enough to know that pinning anything on Bill or Hillary Clinton has about the same odds as hitting Powerball on consecutive weeks. These people are professional breakers and skirters of the law; they have been easily getting away with whatever they want to all of those same years that we have been crossing our fingers and hoping for their downfall.

The Clintons are obviously no ordinary political power couple. After Bill was denied a continuation of his presidential legacy when Al Gore lost to George W. Bush in 2000, Hillary wasted precious little time getting the family back into the thick of Washington power politics when she carpetbagged her way into the United States Senate as a newly minted New York resident. I used to joke that she’d made a deal with the Devil when her husband was president and that she’d won by giving Rudy Giuliani cancer.

In the years since, I’ve often wondered just how much I was joking.

The Clintons were in the highest levels of power in Washington for two straight decades, which is an eternity in politics to amass a cache of favors owed. Also, they not only know where the bodies are buried, we can’t rule out that Hillary buried some of them herself. In an environment that sees very few consequences anyway, Bill and Hillary Clinton are as close to untouchable as possible.

There is plenty more “curiouser and curiouser” information being found out about the Epstein story, and Victoria covered the latest on that yesterday. All of it is intriguing.

Bill and Hillary aren’t sweating any of it though.
