Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta.
Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

Two months ago, Megyn Kelly said that Bari Weiss "deserved every bit of this success" after she was named CBS News editor in chief.
Now, she claims that Weiss is largely responsible for making young Republicans antisemitic because of her pro-Israel stance.

This reminds me of the time I purchased a toilet and was then assaulted with 50 ads and emails per day inquiring if I would like to purchase more toilets.
I donated a car to charity a few years back and my reward for it is a pretty constant barrage of emails asking me why the fuck I’m not giving them more cars

There's really nothing surprising about cops covering up abuse.
I was moved that DOJ yesterday released a document showing that Maria Farmer had filed an FBI complaint against Epstein in 1996. Shockingly, the FBI did nothing at the time.
