‘Epstein emails don’t tell the full story - the public needs to see the FBI’s videos and photos’ | The News Agents

The thing that Justin Webb knows is that no matter how wrong he is about America and Trump nobody on #Americast or #r4today will be allowed to bring up this matter www.thetimes.com/us/american-... The 'normality' that Mr Webb speaks of now includes prevention of the release of the Epstein files.
Beyond the bluster, Trump may be making America normal again
To many in the US, it’s the Democrats who are the extremists, not the new president. While his style is to keep ’em guessing, don’t ignore the political substance

ICE abducted Leticia Jacobo and tried to deport her, she is Native American.
Polk County Sheriff’s Office, which held her for ICE, admitted that it was a ‘clerical error’.
Her family fought through layers of bureaucracy to stop her from being disappeared.

To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015
