If you haven’t read my book, you just think you know about the judicial system…

I spent 25 years studying the court system and our laws from inside a prison cell.

Arrogant? Yes.

I spent 18 hours a day reading, briefing and studying—for 25 years.

Try me.

Epstein: "Yes we do, come to think of it."

djt: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday- and may every day be another wonderful secret."

And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children.
