Eventually this familiarity bred contempt between the narcissists. Epstein, being the smartest of the two, realized that Trump was the weakest link and his loose cannon behavior jeopardized the entire syndicate. He began to distance himself from Trump taking the influence and more importantly the money with him. Trump reacted in typical Trump style eventually “obliterating” Epstein and leaving the syndicate in tatters. The evidence in the files records that collapse.

Also, Comey is aware of all of this and that accounts for Trump’s ceaseless effort to intimidate and silence him.
