Hillary Clinton: Your investigation is supposed to be assessing the handling of the prosecutions of Epstein. This failure is designed to protect one political party and one public official rather than to seek justice for the victims. My heart breaks for the survivors and I am furious on their behalf
I spent hours looking through hundreds of files of materials that have been flagged for review by National Park Service sites around the country. Here is just a small sample of what I found. #NationalParks ποΈ open.substack.com/pub/kevinmle...
