        Because all conspiracy theories, after you strip away all the overly elaborate chains of communication, the gob smackingly large amount of people who would need to know and be completely silent, and overly complex reasons, always ends up back to the Jews.

        He was claiming that Epstein was a Mossad agent & demanding that Trump release the Epstein files.
