I’m surprised the independent is still drinking cool aid doing spin for the admin.

This letter just gives him cover and a “scathing” explanation.

How about Occam’s Razor: the Israeli Intelligence Community used the release or leaking of the really bad parts of the Epstein files (and not just Epstein, but also his successors) to armtwist a proven depraved pedophile to do their bidding?

It’s really the only language he uses, and the only language he understands. He’s a bully and the only way he does shit that doesn’t make sense is because he is being bullied.
