Bravo. This is familiar. When I was in detention, my one time, for a similar offense, I took the opportunity to steal all the outgoing detention slips for the next week. I balled them up in a snowball, tossed them up on the roof of the school. I was never found out, & never confessed till now.

Note: Speaker Johnson has since posted a lengthy theological argument on his Twitter feed about this (only part of it is below).
He frames it as his response to the "insistence of the progressive Left" — but the impetus here is religious criticism of Trump's immigration policies from *Pope Leo.*

To my view, this exchange further undermines Wolff’s claims that his relationship with Epstein was that of journalist and subject. Here, Wolff shares the pitch for funding from an accused man with Epstein, and offers commentary indicating a shared ideological commitment against the Me Too movement.
I hadn’t known this. Two men who were accused of sexual abuse on the Shitty Media Men document that I created back in 2017 reached out to Michael Wolff for help as they looked to sue me, and Wolf forwarded their concerns to Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein offered to help. www.jmail.world/thread/EFTA0...
