A pre-suicide confessional written by Epstein implicating Trump or a sick exercise written by a different and unknown party? I want it to be the former, but—at this point and for a variety of reasons—I have to say I am leaning toward it being the latter. I advise caution. FWIW.

The FBI apparently did send it out for handwriting analysis. Good thread here: View quoted note →

I wonder if handwriting analysis has been performed on the letter. There are almost no public examples of Epstein’s handwriting, but there are a couple of his signature. His signature was typically stylized and illegible—but mine is too, and I write my name very differently if it needs to be read. View quoted note →

I am so sick of this deranged and evil blowhard.

Trump says the New York Times is a “threat to the National Security of our Nation” and a “TRUE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE.” (Given how he uses specious claims of national security threats to justify his actions, this could be an opening salvo in a campaign to shut down the NYT or to extort money from it.) https://enoki.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:gvda6fem6r7selm4gzjjww4a&cid=bafkreig6pjp56ztusefaqa6u2embmdozkr4r3luonwhws5bedwx3ioltx4
