                McCarthy discusses its origins :
 
 There really was a collusion plot. It really did target our election system. It absolutely sought to usurp our capacity for self-determination. It was just not the collusion you’ve been told about for nearly three years. It was not “Donald Trump’s collusion with Russia.”
 
  
Many people fell for it.

I have no doubt that screenwriters are already hard at work, working out a plot outline.
 
The story has everything a tabloid story needs. Only problem, to crank out a halfway-credible story, they will need to discover where the money came from. That's still the mystery, from what I have read. 
 
What actor would you pick to play Epstein?  And who to play Ghislaine?

                 Scott Adams: 
 
In Movie One, President Trump is absolutely, definitely a racist, and any honest person can see it in the way he talks, the people who support him, and his policy proposals. For the viewers of this movie, Trump’s alleged racism is a fact, not an opinion. Therefore, logically, all Trump supporters must be racists because they support a racist president. This view of reality is promoted by CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times, Washington Post, ABC, NBC, NPR, and essentially all of the left-leaning press. 
  
In Movie Two, President Trump promised the country he would not be politically correct if elected, and sure enough, he is not. He goes hard at all critics, with uncautious language, and that makes it easy for his political foes to cherry pick the times he criticizes women and people of color, framing those instances as some sort of pattern. Viewers of Movie Two are confused about whether the viewers of Movie One are lying, stupid, brainwashed, or mentally ill. 
  
Those two realities are starkly different. How can any of us tell which is the true one?
