    Wow, what a nut job. He starts by trying to say maybe Epstein worked for the CIA and was trying to get blackmail on foreign officials for our government. Sir, even if that were true, you should want every member of the CIA using children as rape bait for blackmail in prison. (And the people showing up to use said services… you know… the guy your trying to defend)

      I mean, he’s not pulling that out of his ass entirely. The prosecutor who gave Epstien a slap on the wrist in 2007 claimed he only let him off easy because he was told Epstien, “belonged to intelligence.” That may be entirely bullshit, or it may he that the intelligence got wind of his sex-trafficking and offered to keep him out of prison if he set up a few honeypots. I would guess that it’s at least partially true, since the authorities seem to he withholding a lot of information from the public, but in any case, there’s no way he was a CIA agent or, “Patriot.”
