If I can clarify for the record here, I am/ was a late comer to the who Epstein debacle.
The abortion issues has always been my first priority. Most who know me, would agree, that's to a fault.
The very first I time I ever heard of Epstein, it was easy to brush off as the left was trying to connect Trump to Epstein (guilt by association) thing - and I recall it having something to do with Epstein's connection to who I now know was Virginia Giuffre and allegations against Prince Andrew. . . He was busted, settled, lost all his military honors, etc. . .
Good. I don't have much interest in the "royals" anyway.
So, my interest never peaked further than that, until I catch the news story that Virginia Giuffre was in a bus crash and the article pointed her out as the girl that accused Prince Andrew. . .
The bus story was just not sounding right to me, she said she was dying in a social media post??? Liver something and I thought. . . maybe she's just chasing sympathy, money or both.
Around the same time, as I recall, the name Epstein came up in questions, press releases, etc.
Still no real interest but I do remember promises for more transparency, if elected.
Then it was reported that Virginia Giuffre was dead.
And that is when I started to realize how things were not adding up, promises not being kept, and so on.
