What I think and have for quite some time, like before Esptein ended up in death camp, is that he and the orange hellbeest were partners in the 'business' as much as wexner and maxwell. The beauty pageants were recruitment events for trafficking as much as finding models for victoria's secret and other modeling heavy companies. It's a big network of kompromat and sex trafficking and money laundering and the files will show that -45 worked hand in hand with epstein. Sure, they competed in their little games against each other but it was within the confines of the network of which many of our elected officials and once trusted celebrities are involved too.

Get ready for the great comeuppance, there will be some major disappointment and disillusionment that comes with it.

The Trump Foundation-Pam Bondi scandal

CREW / Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington

In March 2016, CREW discovered that the Trump Foundation had broken the law by giving an illegal $25,000 contribution to a political group supporting Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi. Charitable foundations like the Trump Foundation are not allowed to engage in politics. Even more problematic was the fact that the contribution was given as Bondi’s office was deciding whether to take legal action related to Trump University. This would set off an investigation which would lead to one of the biggest stories of the year. Here’s how it went down: (Complete Timeline)

From her Youtube channel: 'I’m a California refugee now living in Tennessee, and I believe in putting America First. I share political and cultural commentary straight from the heart — authentic, unapologetic, and unpolished.'

She does lower the boom on the ignored Epstein angle, the take for Intel and blackmail.

If she is a RWer, perhaps there’s hope for her yet. Influencers.

According to a clip I saw of an older 20/20 show, some prosecutor's office in New York has copies of the files. I saw photocopies of stuff that was said to name Trump, among others. Nothing seems to have happened to that case, but those files should be there. Someone should find them and send them out into the wild. Let the chips fall where they may.
