    Dear Dr. Hanson:

    I’m very grateful for your explanation of the Epstein imbroglio. It covers all the known facts without making unnecessary assumptions. Unfortunately it has spawned conspiracy theories at a rate and luridness almost without precedent since the Kennedy assassination on both the Left and Right. Thus I believe that your idea about how this scandal can be resolved strikes me as being overly optimistic: Conspiracy theories do not yield to rational rebuttals, least of all Occam’s Razor. The timing of the Epstein issue is really unfortunate since for the first time since Trump’s inauguration and so close to the onset of the midterm campaigns, Trump’s polling has begun to slip. AG Bondi committed a major blunder when she originally raised unrealistic expectations around the contents of the Epstein “files.” Of course, however, the Democrats’ characteristically mendacious response is an equally serious factor.
