the easiest out for the elites in pedo club is to find one scapegoat and the easiest one is him but he's also the king of the shit mountain that they live on and how this plays out is going to eventually lead to about 2 dozen movies
What's going on with Epstein right now is classic Washington.
Everyone is implicated in this and they are all fighting to see who is going to have to drop on their sword and take the fall.
I suspect it is going to be Donald Trump.
