Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.
He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

So, if I understand the theory here, not only did the United States Department of Justice plan Epstein’s murder in advance, but the paralegal who drafts and formats press releases was in on it, to make sure they were ready in advance to make a prompt press release.
Well, this is interesting!
The U.S. Attorney’s Office had a draft statement announcing Jeffrey Epstein’s “suicide” dated August 9, 2019.
He didn’t die until August 10.
Totally normal. Nothing to see here.

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) to ABC about Trump: "I think he intends to try to subvert the elections. He will do everything he can to suppress the vote. If he loses the vote -- I think the Republicans now expect they will get a drubbing in the midterms -- he will take action to overturn the result"
