Literally no one is going to believe there were full disclosures if Trump's name is not all over them.
Epstein’s brother Mark tells Chris Cuomo that the reason the Trump administration is finally releasing the Epstein files is because they’ve been “sanitized.”
Quoting “a pretty good source,” he says “they’re scrubbing the files to take Republican names out.”
“Jeffrey definitely had dirt on Trump.“

As ridiculous as it is, this plan might be the only way to set #Europe on a path of stronger pan-European cooperation that can eventually lead to innovation and consolidation in IT, AI, banking, and manufacturing and reduce dependence on USA and China.

Is The EU Edging Closer To A 'Military Schengen'?
Europe is ramping up defense spending. But one issue has largely been neglected -- how to move military equipment from one country to another as quickly as possible in the case of conflict.

I guess this will work about as well as everything else at the Home Office. (I.e. not at all.)

Why do they lie about something so easily verifiable?
The Home Secretary says "we have become the destination of choice in Europe, clearly visible to every people smuggler and would-be illegal migrant across the world"

That is a factually untrue claim: the Home Office shows that the UK is fifth, getting 1/10 claims, while Germany gets 1/5 claims

#Conservatives accuse “Under #Labour, nothing is safe – not your job, your home, your savings, or your pension.”

The irony is of course that if the Conservatives had not robbed the country blind, after destroying its main trading relationships, we wouldn’t be in this situation. #UK

In February 2017, Ruemmler called Trump “so gross.”

“Worse in real life and upclose,” Epstein responded.

In a separate 2017 exchange with an unidentified person, Epstein said of Trump, “your world does not understand how dumb he really is. he will blame everyone around him. for bad results.”
