The Russian propagandists are well into the "make the leader seem sane and reasonable in comparison to us" phase of the crazy.

Epstein is being described by the Polish PM as a possible Russian spy. If so, it would explain a great deal. All the Epstein “evidence” would actually be kompromat taking in the rich and powerful to serve Kremlin interests. www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...
