    Why does this feel like a sham to discredit all of the Epstein evidence?

      Because it’s is in Palm Beach county, which seems friendly.

      Also, it involves Bill Gates, who has had some whoppers of conspiracy theories told about him.

      And yes, it feels rushed to try avoiding double jeopardy.

      It’s sounds a little batshit crazy to me. I’m afraid we’re going to find out this is just some insane Florida shit. Then, Trump will definitely blame Democrats and use it to claim all Epstein stuff is just a smear.

        While the 5G conspiracy shit really went off the rails, Gates is no saint, despite the image he’s trying to portray of himself through his charity. I’m not going to make a judgement on this until more information comes out, because I could see it being either way.

          I know people that were working on science projects for gates that had million dollar projects hard stopped after Trump came back. I guess the Gates foundation is slowing things down while hostile politicians are in office. At least my buddy got tons of growing equipment for indoor hydro.

    This is suspicious vacuous for a heavy accusation, and seems likely to damage rather than help public perception of potential plaintiffs, anonymously at that. Seems overall sus

      And the exploitation supposedly began while he was president and surrounded by Secret Service and various aids and grifters. He was golfing all the time, but it seems like quite a bold move to start up new sex crimes when you’re one of the most watched people in the world with nearly infinite resources available should someone come forward with a damning criminal accusation.

      He is an audacious piece of shit willing to do crimes in public though. And he hasn’t ever been punished for it.
