Interesting chain of tidbits coming to light.
Item: several weeks ago, Commerce Sec Howard Lutnick talked about living across the street from Epstein, how creepy Epstein, and his house, were. Observing the scandalously light sentence Epstein received in Florida, in 2008, Lutnick speculated that Epstein had been video taping his guest's "encounters", and traded incriminating videos of Florida officials for that light sentence.
Item: the folks on TYT extrapolated Lutnick's statements, to speculate Epstein was running a "honey pot" for a foreign intelligence service. Reportedly, intelligence officials agree the best way to get leverage over someone, is with a honey pot. TYT has had a burr in it's kazoo, for some time, about Israel, and fingered Mossad as the most likely intelligence service that Epstein was working for. I said, at that time, "don't overlook the FSB", due to Trump's generally servile posture wrt Putin.
Item: Maxwell's father had very close relations with people at the highest levels of the Israeli government, and Mossad.
Item: the arm twisting session with Lauren Boebert was in the "situation room", with the US Attorney General, and the head of the FBI. Why would those two, of all the Trump butt kissers in the administration, be the ones to twist Boebert's arm about suppressing information about Epstein, if "national security" is not at issue?
Item: tonight, TYT was reporting on other people in those e-mails, specifically former Israeli PM Ehud Barak, a former head of Mossad, and a Mossad agent.
So we have both principles of a sex trafficking ring with close connections to the Israeli government, and Mossad, who get people from both sides of the aisle in incriminating positions.
Maybe TYT had it right, a few weeks ago, that the US government, and many other people of influence, has been completely penetrated by Mossad?
Embarrassing, isn't it?
Does Mossad have the expertise to get inside a city jail, murder Epstein, and make it look like suicide, if they think Epstein might become unreliable?

Today is a good day to watch a sample of a video podcast that is in development. Allison Gill is tenacious, breaks many political news stories and has a comic's sense of timing.

Did he find any evidence against Trump in the emails? Guess not since you didn't mention it.

Liberals keep say Donald Trump is a pedophile.
So far we only have definitive proof that he rapes women and
starves children...
"The Trump Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands."
https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-new-yorker-d...The judge in the civil case Trump vs Carroll explicitly stated that Trump’s conduct meets the common understanding of rape, and it is accurate to refer to him as a rapist.
"A US District Judge has now formally held, in a lengthy written opinion, that it is perfectly appropriate, and, indeed, entirely accurate, to call Donald Trump a rapist."

Did he find any evidence against Trump in the emails? Guess not since you didn't mention it. It isn't news that Trump, and "randy Andy" are perverts. It isn't news that Trump is so slavishly devoted to the care and feeding of Israel that he has essentially criminalized any criticism of that country.
What was Bush #43's invasion of Iraq, a long time irritant to Israel, about? I always figured it was about Bush working for the benefit of US oil companies.
What was Reagan's military intervention in Lebanon, in support of Israel's invasion, about? Over 200 of our guys were killed in the barracks bombing, then Reagan invaded Grenada two days later, to get the barracks bombing off the front page.
Consider the possibility that Epstein was only the latest in a string of Israeli influence/blackmail operations in the US, spanning decades.
Consider the guest list at Maxwell's father's funeral. This is in addition to decades long chatter about him being a Mossad agent.
Maxwell was afforded a lavish funeral in Israel, attended by Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, Israeli President Chaim Herzog, at least six serving and former heads of Israeli intelligence[69] and many dignitaries and politicians, both government and opposition, and was buried on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem.[70][71] Herzog delivered the eulogy,https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_MaxwellDoes it stretch credulity to propose that Mossad approached Ghislaine, saying something like "your father was very helpful to us over the years. would you be interested in helping us too? you could make lots and lots of lovely MONEY, helping us".
By itself, doesn't really prick up the ears, until you learn that her partner in the sex trafficking ring was also in close contact with high level Israeli officials.
There have already been two "suicides" related to this case. Ghislaine's life would be in grave danger, if Mossad were to decide she was "unreliable".

What if TYT, and I, am right? What if Israel has been working to subvert the US, for decades? What will you say then?

I didn't mention Israel. Your entire prior post was a word salad of random issues of concern to you, obviously connected in some kind of complex conspiratorial web--in your mind, anyway. But yeah paranoid schizophrenic conspiracy theorists (like Nick Fuentes and Zohran Mamdani) often seem to focus their anxiety on Israel/Jews. So, no surprise there.
It has nothing to do with being right or wrong.
Any possible external information or fact will be used by you as justification for what you already believe, which is pretty much entirely internally self-generated.

You forgot Tucker Carleson, in you're screed trying to conflate criticism of the current Israeli regime with antisemitism. :^)

I didn't conflate the two, but just because you're anti-Israel doesn't make you NOT anti-Semitic.
Since you keep bringing it up, I have to assume that would be: you.

I actually can buy your premise. I think Trump is compromised by Russia as well, not just Israel. The truth will come out eventually, and I fear we are going to
find that Trump is an even bigger scumbag than we thought. In the present day though, this will be a big nuthin burger. MAGA gonna find a way to rationalize Trump's skullduggery, they'll pretty much buy any BS that comes out of his mouth.
Sounds like the plot of a really good cloak and dagger movie, you should write
the screenplay, maybe make a fortune. I'd wait till Trump is dead, of course,
as he won't take kindly to being exposed, it'd make you a non loyal subject.

In a word, yes, unless I'm writing a script for The Blacklist with Raymond Reddington in mind.

Besides, I have one published piece. I don't foresee any more, because my muse grabbed the royalties and absconded to Monaco.
For the folks with 10 minutes to kill, my one published piece.
