Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I think the arrest of Don Lemon is to distract the media from the Epstein Files.

1. It is to exert his control, he grasp of power.

Everything he does it for the control of POWER.
I have begun to believe that he doesn't even think about the Epstein files anymore. They are hidden and nothing can be done to release them. He just ignores the courts.

5. Power comes from money and massive blackmail., Where do those come from?

When the Trump-Epstein empire is blown up, he loses blackmail power (and power is money. Money is the only meaningful thing to him) and his money-laundering (for Putin, presumably.)
He always lived by threat and money-laundering. A mafia "Don".

He is gone. World leaders are gone (know any FORMER princes?), GOP legislators are gone. Business tycoons are gone and maybe even five random people.



Independent investigations, including the Bank of America suit, and Ron Wyden's efforts, will show the money trail., Al Capone died of the effects of syphilis (as will Jabba the Orange Hutt) but the money trail sent him up.

The web of blackmail is bigger than this, which includes innocent people Epstein courted to look "nice"

2. I was thinking the same thing.

3. We were never going to see theses files as long as those 25 guys remain alive.

Republicans knew that when they voted for it.

4. THIS IS THE CONSPIRACY WE'VE THEORIZED

that proves the theory.

6. EVERYTHING he has done is to detract from The Epstein Event Horizon.
