Going to be an orgy of hate and violence from the right. Then they find out it was another right wing crank which they will still blame the left for.

I think it may have been a red, deep state event. It was a crack shot at that distance. Must have been ex military.

I presume Trump had him assassinated. He's now the republican Horst Wessel or Sergi Kirov.

that’s what I am leaning towards.

Funny how the one who is pushing Epstein the hardest gets his head separated from his body.

Problem to martyr at the speed of a bullet.

Some combination Epstein - Gaza - FAILING ECONOMY distractor / stir up the MAGA base - chaos creator,

as some BS precursor to invading more municipalities, suspending elections, and martial law.

Wouldn't surprise me in the LEAST. Trump is capable of ANYTHING.
