WOW! LOOK WHAT A NOTES FROM THE FRONT MEMBER FOUND! A 223-PAGE DEPOSITION OF VIRGINIA GIUFFRE - MOSTLY UNREDACTED!

I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH THE HENNEPIN COUNTY (MINNESOTA) ATTORNEYS OFFICE ABOUT THEIR INVESTIGATION INTO JONATHAN ROSS AND HIS KILLING OF RENEE GOOD

They *are* actively investigating (which means they are looking to bring charges *if* they can get enough evidence to charge him)...
January 14, 2026 at 8:21 PM
