A Prince goes down, but not a President?

Hope Putin didn't spend too much on any files, since they don't seem to be worth much

maxwell and epstein's brother have some of the more important items

the extortion is probably not limited to Epstein material = trump and putin are each capable of recording this stuff. trump probably has the roy cohn files patel has the j edgar hoover files, maybe those are losing value as the "clients" die off.

in front of him. So even if he has limited info from the Epstein files, he may have his own files of embarrassing (maybe even criminal) behavior by Trump in Russia itself.

And one thing I'm pretty friggin certain of (and so was Epstein, he told Michael Wolff as much in 2018) is that Trump was laundering oligarch money through his FL properties in the late 90's/early 2000's, which means Putin has ALL those records.
