    the right wing literally worships Epstein’s former best friend, the government official, celebrity, and business leader Donald J. Trump, as a god

    it’s objectively a fact that Epstein was connected to wealthy, powerful, famous people. the FBI itself has come out and said this - before it was taken over by one of those people. by suggesting that discussing this fact is akin to right-wing conspiracies like QAnon, axios is literally covering for pedophiles. is their CEO in the black book too?

      All I’m saying is that predators are benefiting from labeling this narrative as a right-wing conspiracy like QAnon.

      Believing Epstein didn’t kill himself is hardly a partisan issue and it’s skeevy as fuck to claim otherwise.

      It wouldn’t surprise me at all if the FBI had Epstein on their bankroll so they could blackmail people into becoming informants. The problem law enforcement runs into is eventually they have to cut their informants loose and informants have to be paid. Don’t have to do that if you have guaranteed life in prison to hang over someone’s head. Now you can use them for as long as you want.
