Both Epstein and Putin are big into extortion and black mail and getting dirt on Republicans
helps to keep them inline.

These things happened before most of them were in national politics. And other than Bill Clinton, few prominent politicians have been linked, even in rumors. And remember most of this happened before Trump had any dreams of being President.

Trump always looked for extortion material, but at that stage, I think he was more focused on people he could screw in business, not politics.

And regards Sen. Graham, Epstein had no inventory Graham would be interested in.

Justice matters.

interesting to see who else was embroiled in their Epstein manosphere. all the big names in repugland no doubt. let's see them all, let's see who was working against our constitution.........was Leonard Leo in those e-mails? Brett Kavanugh? NEIL GORSUCH? Peter Theil? Seems to me they have been setting up and executing this big project 2025 scheme for some years.

cause over 14 million deaths worldwide from his response to COVID 19, or killed @ least a million in
iAfrica by stopping USAID or stole money from the widows of G.I.s killed in Iraq and Afghanistan or ..

I suppose we could have had a really bad president with terrible policies who isn't nearly as awful as Trump, but I think we needed someone this bad to shake people up and realize we have to change dramatically and change soon.

In a sense, he does serve a purpose. Otherwise we'd end up with more George Bushs or Ronald Reagans who do their damage slower and often without a lot of attention. The damage remains for decades however.

I hear analysis of just the emails we have so far and pundits are very careful, to the point of ignoring who he is, what he has done in the past, and what his disorders are.

They are scared to death of the Epstein files as a campaign issue. They do not want to be accused of covering up for pedophiles.

Maybe just Bondi refusing to release the files?

What wer might kbnow is the extent of the business arragement between Fatso and Epstein, the money laundering network, who was blackmailed, exactly why that island had to undergo spontaneous combustion.

All the paunchy middle aged businessmen who paid Epstein lots of money to fuck teenagers will have to die off first. That's how this shit works.

It's obvious now that we'll just get a few dribs and drabs about the business arrangements, including seed money, loans, and money laundering with generous kickbacks. That we'll likely get and that's because even big money is being hurt by Fatso's economic lunacy. He's got to go.
