The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

President Clinton is right. This is not getting as much attnetion as it should. The USA under Trumpstein is betraying this promise, which means any agreement involving Russia and the USA is not worth the paper it’s written on 🤷♂️ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapes...

Somewhere, someone, is keeping daily journal entries and stocking digital evidence/news accounts of EVERY crime this regime commits. Like today, (and most days really), every hour they were breaking/violating more federal/state laws. At the end there WILL be justice, and prison time for ALL of them!
