New Epstein Tapes Show Top Supreme Court Justice Being Blackmailed
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 22 hours ago
We have all seen evidence that suggested as much and it may not be John Roberts. Whoever it is he is now likely free of the blackmail which is certainly good enough. Most likely we will get a resignation. Replacement will wait for after November. The Supreme Court has been in contest for a long time now.

This also meant that all the perps after the war could not skate away at all. He had the work done. . *Georg Konrad Morgen was able to secure convictions...
