Benz claims that in 2018, Ruemmler and Epstein exchanged political messages just as Democrats were ramping up legal and impeachment efforts against Trump. The timing, he argues, is highly significant: this was when the party was shaping their legal strategy.

In the emails, Ruemmler reportedly sent Epstein a New York Times article that argued for Trump’s impeachment. Rather than a casual conversation, Epstein responded with meticulous analysis of Trump’s legal exposure, discussing potential indictments, accountants flipping, and pressure points for making Trump negotiate.

Ruemmler’s replies, according to Benz, were legally harsh — she insisted that Trump “lied” and “knew it was illegal.” Meanwhile, Epstein continued to speculate on how to damage Trump politically and legally, treating the matter like a case study rather than a scandal.

Benz argues this isn’t just idle chatter between a wealthy socialite and a lawyer: it demonstrates strategic collaboration. Epstein, a controversial figure already under deep scrutiny, was apparently working hand-in-glove with one of the Democratic Party’s top legal minds.

This revelation, Benz contends, exposes a back-channel political pipeline. Rather than the narrative some media outlets promoted — Trump being tied to Epstein — this shows Epstein working closely with Obama’s legal team to build a case, potentially even before his second indictment.

What’s more, Benz claims this undermines years of media framing. “For years,” he says, “they tried to tie Trump to Epstein — while hiding the fact that Epstein was exchanging strategic, legal, political conversations with Obama’s own counsel.”

If Benz is right, this isn’t just a political scandal — it could rewrite the narrative around Epstein, Trump, and the legal groundwork laid by Democrats prior to impeachment maneuvers. It raises serious questions about influence, strategy, and who was driving the Epstein-Trump story.
