House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) dropped a mic-drop moment on Thursday’s Hannity, brushing off feverish claims of deep ties between President Trump and the late Jeffrey Epstein. If there had been any Epstein dirt on Trump, it would have leaked, Comer declared, pointing to the relentless scrutiny Trump has endured from media hounds, congressional inquisitors, and deep-state leakers for years. In a world where every Trump tweet gets dissected like a crime scene, Comer’s logic is airtight: real scandals don’t stay buried in the age of WikiLeaks and anonymous sources. This isn’t just political theater—it’s a reminder that the Epstein saga, with its island escapades and elite guest lists, has been weaponized against conservatives while mysteriously sparing certain left-leaning figures whose names popped up too.
Zooming out, Comer’s smackdown exposes the selective outrage machine that’s been churning since Epstein’s 2019 demise. Trump’s logged a handful of flights on the Lolita Express and social rubs with Epstein in the ’90s—public knowledge that’s been flogged endlessly—yet no smoking gun has emerged despite mountains of unsealed docs and FBI raids. Contrast that with Bill Clinton’s 26 flights or the Bidens’ own tangled webs of influence peddling, which somehow evade the same forensic frenzy. For the 2A community, this hits home: it’s the same playbook used to demonize gun owners as Epstein-level threats. Lawfare squads paint AR-15s as weapons of war based on cherry-picked stats, ignoring how armed citizens deter the real predators—human traffickers, cartel thugs, and elite enablers—who thrive in gun-free utopias. If Trump’s dirt evaporates under scrutiny, so does the flimsy case for disarming law-abiding Americans amid rising crime waves fueled by soft-on-crime DAs.
The implications? In an election cycle where Dems are dusting off every Trump-Epstein whisper to stoke fear, Comer’s reality check bolsters the pro-2A fortress. It underscores that truth withstands leaks and lawsuits, much like how concealed carry stats crush the blood in the streets myth—over 20 million permit holders with crime rates lower than police. As red-flag laws and ATF overreach loom, this narrative flip empowers us to call out hypocrisy: if Epstein’s black book didn’t bury Trump, neither will Bloomberg bucks or media smears bury our rights. Stay vigilant, patriots—facts are our best suppressor.
