    Ah yes, Epstein is also Russia’s fault 😂

    So the only source is billionaires in the USA and their security firm. I’d like to remind you that they are Epstein’s primary customers, and therefore have motivation to deflect from themselves.

    These are the only sources

    Citing intelligence sources,

    Sources within US and allied intelligence communities.

    This is the only corroborating evidence

    documents in the Epstein case contain 1,056 references to Russia and Vladimir Putin, and 9,629 references to Moscow.

    But you can look through those references and they’re largely of the variety of “Hey it’s me, your friend, USA billionaire, let’s try to deflect all our criticism onto Russia.”

    Meanwhile if you instead look for references to USA billionaires, they are both more numerous by orders of magnitude and consistently incriminating. The story should be about the complicity of billionaires in the USA.

    Its staring to be clear that Epstein was basically a “contractor” for blackmail to be outsourced to.

          I am not ‘dense’ but this is about the Russia connection. This is unrelated to any other issues.

            Okay, so Epstein and Maxwell were Israeli agents with ties to leaders and wealthy elites all over the world. Glad we agree.
