Essentially, [the reporters] are arguing that Epstein was running an operation on behalf of the KGB/Putin that lured wealthy and powerful men to Epstein’s New York and Palm Beach mansions and his island where they were surreptitiously filmed having sex with underage girls.

“Intelligence sources believe Epstein was running ‘the world’s largest honeytrap operation’ on behalf of the KGB when he procured women for his network of associates.”

It’s shocking in its detail and its implication that Vladimir Putin has basically owned Donald Trump for years, even before Trump ran for president in 2016.

This is shocking? In what reality?

Legitimately this has been strongly suspected and borderline just known since about a decade ago

Anyone who doesn't know at this point is willfully ignorant

The KGB flew him out to Moscow several times in the 80s but I thought it was just for fun!
