1) CIA General Counsel
2) NSC Legal Adviser

The Epstein scandal has always been a scandal about the ruling class as a whole, not one individual or political party.
Epstein trafficked not just in the bodies of the children he abused but also in social connections that could bring elites together.

Epstein’s emails are the end of America as they ruined it
