The new documents include court petitions, e-mail exchanges, photographs and some victim statements, which — always taken with great caution — include explosive accusations with unverified indirect testimonies about some of the people who moved within Epstein’s circle, including the ubiquitous Prince Andrew of England, third son of the late Elizabeth II and brother of King Charles III.

I hope I'm wrong, but I'd wager that this becomes the 2024 edition of the Panama papers, and absolutely nothing happens to anyone involved.

Ain't it funny how this was a qanon, 4chan conspiracy theory when it was first spoken about. Now we see the truth.

The start of the Epstein investigations was in 2005, qanon was started in 2017.

And I'll throw in that no, Alex Jones didn't break Epstein either. He first mentioned him re. the Virginia Giuffre lawsuit, and subsequently claimed to have always been talking about him to make his "Globalist" narrative more credible.

You throw enough shit at the wall, some of it's about to stick. The rumors of this were around long before QAnon nuts came on the scene, same as the #metoo accusations
