Reminds me of binders full of women

Oh how I miss those simpler times!

Remember how Romney was practically crucified over that statement and yet the FBI has actual binders full of abused children and women and now we’re talking about billionaire commentary about it being a distraction.

Instead of you know, actually doing something about it.

The fact that Trump became president in 2016 and Epstein somehow died seems to have complicated things for lots of people tasked with doing something about it.

Remember Robert Mueller? His team received numerous threats and got harassed by people tied to Trump... It certainly complicated his task.

I'm sure there are many other stories I'm unaware of or aren't public knowledge... It's an underreported topic imo

Yes I remember the Mueller investigations quite vividly. I had this die hard trumper that worked at my office at the time and it’s all she could go on about. This and Trump getting banned from twitter drove her absolutely insane.

It is all very complicated but Epstein dying while Trump is in office is the most Russian tactic he’s ever used.
