Can’t help but notice you two aren’t defending Jack Smith, but instead allowing your TDS to go into full bloom…
A really honest investigation, might be more than WE are ready for. Trump might be a minor player……will you be as passionate ?
Thanks staff
Lol. So, they’re launching an investigation in Jack Smith. Ok.
So the governor and FDLE now know Donald J Trump hired underage girls for his spa. They know Jeffery Epstein trafficked in little girls. Trump just admitted he broke with Epstein when he hired Virginia Guiffre, who later commented suicide.
So Trump was hiring underage women and he never voiced any concerns to law enforcement when a known pedofile hired them away.
Where is the investigation there?
