The manipulation of the Epstein files by the Trump administration to falsely implicate political rivals is not only extraordinarily malevolent — it’s also extraordinarily inept.
Surely some kind of crime is being committed here by the DOJ

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Newly released Epstein pics show (then) Prince Andrew draped across the laps of young women whose faces are redacted.
This was taken at Sandringham, suggesting the palace may have been used for sex trafficking.
By refusing to investigate, the Metropolitan Police (& the king) offer tacit approval.

If it wasn't apparent before, the extent to which the Epstein file release has been redacted by Trump's lackeys makes very clear that the convicted felon and adjudicated rapist does, indeed have a whole lot to hide.

Gosh! This is unexpected! I firmly believed that the £148million was as good as recovered. What a shock! At least she's been stripped of the title 'Baroness.' Oh, wait...
