People have jumped on this but it's just an anonymous tip done through an open web form. It's about as substantiated as writing on a bathroom wall.
Doesn't mean it's not true, but it's also the weakest evidenced thing in there.
I hate all this bullshit (Epstein, trump, politics right now etc..) But the way I watched people pull shit out of their ass when talking about that leak. If that's the comprehension and emotional level of the average human, society is completely fucked. But honestly that was already told by the reactionary drama of COVID and 2020s issues.
Like that alone tromps the whole Epstein and American politics thing because it means people are too stupid, lol. Like literally just too stupid for society to even be a society. It's almost to the level that sometimes I wonder if it's a psyop... People being so reactionary and emotionally dumb that that they are easily discredited so that trump ends up being the "sane" one.
I think once you’ve gotten to the point that you’re considering Donald J. Trump, of all people, “sane”, you might be on the other side of the bell curve than you think.
The poster above did say "alleged."
I also agree with the sentiment.
