3. There is a very good chance that Putin has a copy of the Epstein files.

I believe that Putin ordered this submission meeting and his puppet complied in grand fashion.

This submission meeting, with the location and logistics was determined by Putin. The meeting was never Krasnov's idea and I don't care what our MSM claims.

As well as on other American leaders.
Putin is old school KGB and has been plotting his revenge against the US for decades.

It appears Epstein was involved with the Russians who gave him money and helped launder it.

I think Putin was funding Epstein to some extent and in exchange Epstein was giving him the videos Epstein made in all the rape rooms on the island.

Epstein had ties to Israeli intelligence. Do not discount possible Mossad involvement, Krasnov has also done everything that Bibi asked of him.

11. Yep. Mossad is the world's second best intel agency and totally missed the HAMAS attack.

Sure.

We can connect dots.

Yes I think it is likely that both Russia and Israel had the hooks into Epstein.

What he had on him.
I bet every leader in the world knows what Putin has.
Trump is compromised.

And Republicans do nothing to protect us.

This was not a summit meeting, it was a submission meeting.

Look at the video of the handshake. Krasnov puts out his hand first, on the bottom, so that Putin's hand is on top, that is not a coincidence.

that Krasnov agreed with Putin that Ukraine will have to give up the territory that Russia is occupying to get a "peace deal."

That is what the next meeting which will include Zelenskyy is about, Zelenskyy surrendering.
