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.

Two things can't both be true? We're a corrupt hellhole but we're also a selfish corrupt hellhole. There is no reason other than money and blackmail for our corrupt elites to align themselves with a failing state like Russia

because the epstein files show staggering evidence for aligning yourselves with israel, not russia.

and quite a lot of you want trump.
