Well, there's something very fishy about the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. And no, of course, I'm not talking about just the scandal itself, which of course remains incredibly fishy. We don't know where Jeffrey Epstein got his gigantic oodles of money in the first place.

We don't know whom he was trafficking to, if anyone besides himself. We don't know a lot of things about Jeffrey Epstein.

What I mean here is that the response to Jeffrey Epstein has been quite fascinating. Many of the figures who have been largely associated with the question asking about Jeffrey Epstein.

And we'll say that he's not the easiest human being, to put it mildly. Steve Bannon has a long

history of attempting to associate himself with more powerful people, glomming onto them and then

sort of making his way

up the chain. So a bit of career background on Steve Bannon, at least politically, he made a

documentary about then congresswoman Michelle Bachman. After that documentary was made, he then used

that as a sort of entree card to make a documentary about Sarah Palin. After that documentary was

made, he then used that as an entree card to make a documentary

about Andrew Breitbart.

He used that documentary in order to become a prominent person at Breitbart itself when
