a reminder that we should not be wasting our energy and capital on the Charlie Kirk murder. we should be bringing the Epstein files, the book and these emails that Bloomberg has back to the front. clear evidence of our sitting president complicit with, and doubtlessly participating in pedophilia
One email attachment, a spreadsheet, tracked nearly $2 million in spending:
• A $71K Lexus for Alan Dershowitz
• A $35K watch for a top Clinton aide
• Lingerie and wire transfers to teenage girls
