Hear me out, if we focus on actually keeping kids safe, we can pay attention to BOTH Epstein's protectors AND the eugenesist maniac in charge of the CDC.

You could sum up his career (heavily edited).

Maybe your right, maybe its profit, maybe its fame. TBH I like what he is saying because it benefits my political team in this moment. BUT this guys whole shtick is protect the children, AND he is going against his people. So maybe.

The worst person you know is still a person. I posted another story about Thomas Massie accusing a Billionaire GOP mega donor of being on Epsteins client list.

This is a big deal. GOP congressman from Kentucky, calling out HIS OWN BIG MONEY DONOR, and as far as I can tell he is standing alone on the republican side trying to get Epstein stuff public. I don't like the guy, but I can believe this endeavor is moral.

Kinda, I really don't like O'Keefe, but to me this shows some moral fortitude. Sure he's far right, but it seems protecting kid diddlers is too much.

Just scroll down a little before reposting!

Wow this guy sucks, I thought I knew his name.

Not only is he a GOP mega donor, and an alleged child molester, but here is an excerpt from Benzinga,

The subprime mortgage crisis triggered a severe economic recession in 2008, but billionaire hedge fund manager John Paulson made billions in this period. His bet against the U.S. housing market made him $20 billion richer.

Not a big fan of O'Keefe, but I like this!

 

Massie Claimed a few days ago that a billionaire who's name is in Epstiens black book was targeting him...

Today he is stating out loud that his name is John Paulson, mega GOP doner.

United States of America, this is America

There are so many connections that it is easy to miss some. This was around the time of Epsteins suicide so there was a lot of news going on. For a real deep dive I suggest Julie K Brown's Perversion of Justice.

Boo newsmax! I heard earlier today on NPR that they are suing fox news for anti-competitive practices. The part that struck me was their highest viewership was election night 2020, when fox called Arizona for Biden, the die-hards couldn't handle it and switched over.

Does anyone else remember Alex Acosta? Secretary of Labor for the Trump Administration 2017-2019?

Did you know he was U.S. attorney for Southern District of Florida (2005-2009)?

Does anyone else remember when he got Epstein a federal non-prosecution agreement that was later deemed illegal? -fun fact about this plea deal, it ended federal investigations, which seems kind of crazy.

I remembered, but there were so many details I forgot:

The Miami Herald describes an email from Epstein's attorney after his off-site meeting with Acosta: "'Thank you for the commitment you made to me during our Oct. 12 meeting,' Lefkowitz wrote in a letter to Acosta after their breakfast meeting in West Palm Beach. He added that he was hopeful that Acosta would abide by a promise to keep the deal confidential. 'You ... assured me that your office would not ... contact any of the identified individuals, potential witnesses or potential civil claimants and the respective counsel in this matter,' Lefkowitz wrote."

Miami Herald and Julie K Brown broke so many of these stories

There's no telling what his intentions were here.

It could have been politically motivated.

He could have dementia.

Maybe he was high on cocaine and ecstasy, and wanted to share.

Not enough details are available right now.
