The letters, written to Epstein by a number of high-profile individuals, were reportedly compiled as a birthday gift for Epstein’s 63rd birthday in 2016.

In one letter, former prime minister of Israel Ehud Barak and his wife wrote “there is no limit to your curiosity.”

“You are like a closed book to many of them but you know everything about everyone,” they wrote, describing Epstein as “A COLLECTOR OF PEOPLE”. They continued: “May you enjoy long and healthy life and may all of us, your friends, enjoy your table for many more years to come.”

This whole Epstein thing is a diversion from Trump and his cronies literally stealing the US from its citizens. Of course Trump was in Epstein's circle of friends and we know he is a rapist. Don't need any more information - there is plenty already out there that Americans are blithely ignoring. I would be willing to bet that many of the currently aggrieved people, who helped elect Trump even with all the previously exposed information, will, if they get the Epstein file, do the exact same with the new information and give Trump an pass. Anybody who could vote for him after "grab them by the P****" and the rape defamation verdict, will give him a pass for anything, no matter how much they might be pretending to protest right now.
