  And they happen to have a different set of interests, which they may choose to follow over shared interests.

In fairness i don't really believe them, i don't think anyone in the Iranian line of succession would've worked with the US.

      I don't believe it's impossible Donald Trump spoke against his friends to the feds. I think it's likely.

        It was a convenient misunderstanding about a call to the Palm Beach Sheriff. The FBI has a recording of the call, but probably ambiently from the Sheriff’s side. It’s a small ray of innocence for a guy like Trump. And he forgot all about it until by luck it was in the Epstein files.

    What I find interesting is that Trump officials says Trump was the target here, but the guy was arrested in July of 2024 - which is when Biden was still in office.
