Seva Gunitsky joining the dots

'Russiagate became a lib obsession, proof that Trump was a foreign asset...The Epstein case became a right-wing fixation, proof that a pedophilic cabal ran the world...Each side treated the other’s scandal as a distraction or hoax...But the 3.5 million pages released by the DoJ confirm these are in fact the same story. Both highlight the post-1991 emergence of a transnational kleptocratic class that links Western oligarchs to foreign state interests, whether Russian or Saudi or Israeli or whoever...I think the real story is more systemic. The documents suggest a reframing of Epstein’s case from one man’s crimes to transnational geopolitics'
