I would love to see him shipped back to S Africa, but that would require ICE to be competent and humane, vs the murderous sociopaths they’ve chosen to be.

Unlikely for it to be Russia. I’ve heard it said that Epstein was an intelligence operative, meaning he worked for an American agency or an allied nation, neither of which would make him a Russian asset. Factions exist within the American ruling elite that want Russia to be an ally and factions exist that want war with Russia or to see Russia destroyed/contained. Those factions that want containment support the Ukraine war and those that want friendship have been sidelined.

They couldn’t get grant funding, so they decided to go without.

The man had one foot in the grave his whole presidency.
