Movie: “House of Games”. It’s a WATER PISTOL.



Regardless of whatever DOJ has or does, the money trail is being opened up, and the downfall begun. It may not look promising, but remember, the Epstein Event Horizon is right here, and he’s starting a “Wag the Dog” war to distract from it.

He is failing.

If we hand’t had those protests, none of this would have occurred, IMNSHO.

Ya done real good!!!
Thanks
