2. All true. My little fantasy is indeed a fantasy.

The part that is true is that this is a ploy to quell the revolt. It is an utterly empty gesture, given both the limited nature of the testimony (as you point out) and the statutes and precedent protecting the secrecy of grand jury testimony (with some very specific exceptions that aren't present.)

They are betting that the parts of the MAGAverse who believe that Epstein's death in custody and failure to prosecute any perpetrators is the quintessential symbol of the "deep state" covering for the evil, liberal elites will somehow shift their growing anger with Bondi and 47 to the court that denies the motion for release.

I really don't think the effort will ultimately fly, but so far, Charlie Kirk seems to be eating it up, so who knows?
