Donald Trump spent many years with Jeffrey Epstein and called him a good friend But now he doesn't want you to spend anytime asking him about it Definitely doesn't want any investigations into the relationship But if there is nothing there, just release the files

🚨 Epstein survivor: “I was raped three times a day and I wasn’t the only girl. It was a conveyor belt of abuse.” When a government shields the monsters behind that conveyor belt instead of locking them up, the system itself is the crime scene. Tear it down, start over, and…

If releasing the Epstein list means your government would collapse, then your government needs to collapse.
