Was it a mere coincidence that the day after Trump signed into law the release of the voluminous Epstein-related files that he issued his “peace proposal” which practically called for Ukraine’s capitulation to Putin’s demands?
And was it merely coincidental that Jeffrey Epstein, for years before and during Trump’s presidency, maintained back channel relationships and communications with high ranking Russian officials pertaining to, among other matters:
1. That in 2018, while Trump was President, Epstein wrote to former Norwegian prime minister Thorbjørn Jagland, asking him to “suggest to Putin that Lavrov ( Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov) can get insight by talking to me,” and claiming the late Russian UN ambassador Vitaly Churkin had already consulted him to better “understand Trump.”
2. The fact that a Russian female operative was blackmailing wealthy American businessmen, though no evidence has been uncovered that Trump has been implicated in this.
3. That Epstein furnished advice on how Russia should handle Western sanctions, interest rates, and new currency ideas,
Separately, banking records and Senate summaries show that Epstein moved over a billion dollars in suspicious transactions, including wires involving Russian banks and Russian/Belarusian women tied to his trafficking network.
It would appear that it is almost too coincidental that within 24 hours after Trump was backed into signing Congress’s bill calling for the complete disclosure of Epstein’s files that Trump dramatically withdrew his former strong support for Ukraine’s resistance to Russia’s ongoing invasion and issued an ultimatum to Ukraine to, in essence, totally capitulate to most of Putin’s demands.
Whether there is a cause and effect relationship between the contents of Epstein’s voluminous files and Trump’s sudden turn-around demanding that Ukraine make crippling concessions to Putin remains to be seen if and when full disclosure of Epstein’s files and other evidence in the hands of the federal government see the light of day, if ever.
Like T's taxes--never released due to the implausable claim of being under perpetual audit.
THE THIRD MAN
Is He Also the Missing Link?
