While I'm not going FatPacks level doompill, the Epstein stuff does seem to make one thing very clear to me. Either the Trump administration is far weaker and can't reign in these institutions, and unlike the first term, they're now actively hostile towards him; or they made some kind of deal.
It seems to me like Kash and Bondi can't reign in the FBI and DOJ. They're willing to do things moving forward for him and work with him, but going back and investigating things from the previous administration is something the upper brass of the FBI is probably threatening complete revolt and defection over. There's probably a mutual agreement that Kash has to not go after certain people and in exchange these people finish out their tenure quietly. Older upper brass types who know enough secrets to be a real problem to deal with, and simultaneously too old to be worth dealing with.
Maybe Trump himself has largely the same deal. He can win, the assassination attempt will stop. They'll stop getting in his way, but in exchange he can't do certain things. I think for Trump himself, it's a lot more broad such as "You can't withdraw support for Israel" or "You can't go after Hillary". Something like "You can't pull funding for Ukraine already promised, but you can get a peace agreement if you're able to". It would explain the whole Iran thing and why things went the way they did. It's pretty clear anything with Epstein was off the table and it's why Trump hasn't commented on it.
On the other half of that coin, it largely seems to me that our government was/is just falling apart. Too many incompetent morons infested the Democrat party. The Republicunts have been infested with the same backstabbing ilk. The Deep State Beauracracy has largely been keeping the show running, but they're spinning their wheels at this point and aging is driving them out with no replacements. It's not necessarily because they're retarded, but rather it's just getting crushed under the weight of its own bloat. Too many cooks in the kitchen and a Deep State Presidency really strained the systems. It's why Trump and the MAGA Party seems to be able to just come in and steamroll over and do what they want in entire sections of government, and have so much trouble with others.
