In his first term, The Tiniest Bird pardons a fraudster whose daughter donated $2.5M to his campaign. Said fraudster does more fraud & ends up in prison. In his 2nd term, the daughter donates $1M more. TTB pardons fraudster again.
And yet.

Best analysis I’ve seen
“You see the agent switching the phone from his right hand to his left.”

I don't understand US peeps going on about the Epstein files. You all know he's guilty already.
He's got secret police kidnapping, attacking and killing people already. He's effectively resigned you from NATO and is threatening a war against the rest of us.
It's not distraction.
