Epstein's sex empire was 'KGB honeytrap':

28. It does seem odd

The Russian agent theory doesn't seem to cover the full spectrum of what we have seen.

What influence did the Russians have to quash investigations in the USA in 2005-07. I dont at all care for shrub, but I dont recall even whispers that he might be a Russian agent, and his administration was running things at the time.

Also.. It all stayed basically quashed under Obama and Biden. Neither of whom is beholden to Russia. And Biden and his administration had every reason to expose it all given the strong Trump-Epstein ties. Russia didn't have the pull with the Biden admin to keep it all locked away.

I think a more realistic look at the situation makes it likely that there are layers, a multi-country intelligence and influence effort. Russia is the easiest and likely the most obvious perpetrator, but I'd bet other countries had a hand in this project as well.
