jesus the Palm Beach Police really sought arrest warrants against underage Epstein victims for coming forward and cooperating, and (purported) admitting to crimes, and it caused the victims to become uncooperative with the federal investigation

Q And that was after they had told her earlier that she didn't need an attorney present, correct?
A Exactly.
Q Okay. So this happens to her with the Palm Beach Police Department and did the Palm Beach Police actually present or propose charging [redacted]?
A They did get a probable cause affidavit against [redacted].
Q And is that why Ms. [redacted] and her attorney were concerned about her testimony here?
A Yes.
Q Now was a subpoena issued for Ms. [redacted] on behalf of this grand jury?
A Yes, it was.
Q And before Ms. [redacted] would comply with that, did she -- did her attorney request some sort of order?
A Yes.
Q And what did he ask for?

Indeed. A lot of those in congress who have decimated health research across the country are likely to regret it when they get a disease that would otherwise be treatable. Next year, 25 years. It’s made not a dent in our debt, but they caused themselves and millions of others an earlier death.
It is an absolute death sentence. But you know what? It doesn't have to be. Biden had prioritized and funded research to solve exactly this thru cures and treatments. Another thing that Trump has destroyed and affecting millions of people.
