I investigated Epstein a little less than a decade ago, more focused on his ties to Russia, and all year, I have not focused on him, but after reading some of the documents this morning, I am beyond sickened and outraged. Trump and his DOJ goons must be impeached

Don’t forget. Biden’s DoJ was investigating uncharged third parties in the Epstein files up until the last minute. Trump shut down the investigation, sent the files to DC, & fired the prosecutors. They went through them, redacted Trump’s name, then elected not to release them and closed the matter.

It stinks. But they will be held accountable.

They were completely wrong across the board and did not understand this war (or war in general). And their failure has led to many dead Ukrainians and a longer war. Now they want to escape responsibility by blaming Ukraine, and they get simplistic fools to spread their narrative.

Btw, why the western analytical community and the Pentagon, etc, are all trying to say Ukraine’s big problem is that they have not drafted all their people and sent them to the front, is because they are trying to shift responsibility away from their own terrible failures.
