imo Charlie Kirk is a bit too influential to sacrifice for somethin like that, it's rough right now but I don't think there will be really that much mileage from it cause those issues you mentioned are not going away anytime soon. Especially with that recent drone attack on Poland from Russia.
I do think the motive was indeed Epstein based though, whether that be from a disgruntled actor who is upset at how that whole process is shaking out or it was indeed a way to get heat off of it cause I think Charlie Kirk was flipping on it and calling for the files to be released recently. Think it's the former in that case though
