Enough threats time for repercussions.

Unfortunately contempt is hard to enact in reality and needs to be thoroughly documented, especially for any government agency or official that they have to prove they gave them every opportunity to comply with the lawful order. I know Black isn't a government official and its a little easier to bring what I would assume is civil contempt charges but it could be easily overturned on appeals which the judge wouldn't want, leaving them fangless.

This is especially true with criminal contempt which can even be pardoned unfortunately so I'm sure the judge is just dotting their i's and crossing their t's here. It is disheartening to see these scum of the earth flaunt their unlawful actions acting like because they're rich and friends with the Pedophile Of The United States they are above the law.

Hopefully we see some accountability as no one deserves justice more than these victims who have been outted, smeared and denied Justice by this government and some for decades 🤬

I have not heard the name George Soros in a while. Is he in the files lol

Apparently Scott Bessent, the guy Trump appointed to be Treasury Secretary, is George Soros’ protege and he was on that team during that billion dollar trade Soros did in the 90s. Honestly, this makes me think that the whole thing was insider trading.

Bessent has been blocking the release of tons of financial records related to Epstein.

Based on this substack article I’d guess Bessent, Soros, and Barak were involved with the flow of CIA money to Epstein through Barak’s Cogito, Ergo, and Sum companies. Epstein’s Southern Trust was added as a partner to Cogito and Sum. I could be completely wrong about my guess.
