🧵 1/ I’ve been asked today why I think Jeffrey Epstein *might* have been a gov asset. Let’s unpack the case. His connections, wealth, & influence raise red flags. Was he just a financier? Or something more?
2/ Epstein’s plea deal in 2008 was unusually lenient. Sex-trafficking charges dropped, 13 months in a cushy jail with work release. Prosecutors hinted at “intelligence” ties. The U.S. attorney handling the case said he was told Epstein “belonged to intelligence.”
Coincidence?
3/ His personal network was a who’s who list that would make a king blush: politicians, royalty, tech moguls, etc. Why did so many powerful people trust a convicted felon? Was he collecting dirt for someone? Blackmail operations often use honeypots—Epstein’s islands fit the bill.
4/ Flight logs show VIPs on the Lolita Express. No scrutiny for years. FBI & DOJ slow-walked investigations. Did powerful people shield him? Government agencies routinely use shady figures to gather intelligence—think MKUltra and COINTELPRO.
5/ The source of Epstein’s wealth remains … unclear—to put it mildly. No clear record of how he amassed his vast fortune. Shell companies? Shadow accounts? Sounds like a setup for laundering or funneling funds. Government assets are known to get “sponsored” to play their role.
6/ His death in 2019, quickly ruled a suicide, occurred in a high-security jail cell—one designed to thwart suicide attempts.
Cameras off, guards asleep, noose questionable. Too convenient?
7/ If Epstein was a government asset—and to be clear, I have no knowledge of that beyond what I’m saying here (gleaned entirely from publicly reported, non-classified sources)—silencing him would presumably protect the puppet masters.
Who benefits from Epstein’s silence?
8/ Counterpoint: Maybe he was just a rich, unusually creepy, remorseless sex offender who had access to exceptional lawyers. But the dots—including his plea deal, connections, wealth, and death—don’t add up cleanly.
Why so many protections for one man? What did he know?
9/ Some say we may never know the truth. I refuse to accept that.
Either way, the Epstein saga screams cover-up.
If it’s eventually proven that he was a government asset, that would help expose how deep the rot goes.
10/ The American people are smart and remain genuinely concerned about what happened here.
We must not accept efforts to sweep this under the rug, which is what Epstein tried to do with his victims.
11/ Demand transparency.
Keep digging.
We can and will find answers if we stay at this.

🧵 1. A judge has just issued a temporary restraining order “TRO” halting the implementation of an unambiguous statute—duly enacted by Congress and signed into law by the President—that defunds Planned Parenthood
2. Given the lack of ambiguity in the statutory text, one can surmise that the TRO was likely predicated on an assertion that the statute is unconstitutional
3. What part of the Constitution prohibits Congress from defunding Planned Parenthood?
1. Americans fought for freedom to govern themselves, not to be ruled by faceless bureaucrats. When unelected officials write federal laws, they bypass the Constitution and strip power from the people. Here’s why this matters.
2. The Constitution vests legislative power in Congress—elected representatives accountable to YOU. Bureaucrats in agencies like the EPA or ATF aren’t elected. They don’t answer to voters. Yet they churn out thousands of pages of rules with the force of law. That’s not how our government is supposed to work under the Constitution.
3. Example: The ATF’s 2022 “ghost gun” rule redefined firearms under federal law, affecting millions. No vote, no debate—just a stroke of a pen. Congress didn’t get a say, and neither did you. This is how liberty erodes.
🧵 1/ Until the 1930s, state and local governments outspent the federal government—combined. In 1900, states and localities handled most public services, from schools to roads. Federal spending was a measly 2.7% of GDP, while state and local was higher.
2/ This wasn’t just numbers—it was principle. States and localities were closer to the people, responsive to local needs—and indeed most needs. The federal government stepped in mainly for things like defense and trade. Limited scope, limited spending. That’s how the Founders designed it.
3/ The tide turned with the New Deal in the 1930s. Federal spending surged past state and local combined and didn’t look back. World Wars and Great Depression policies centralized power, disregarding the Constitution’s strict limitations on federal authority. By 2019, feds spent 55% of all government funds, states and locals just 45%.
đź§µ 1/ No state should dictate to political parties the process by which they nominate candidates
Ever
It ends badly for everyone—especially for conservatives
2/ Utah does this—through a law known as “SB54”
It has been disastrous for political parties—especially the Utah Republican Party
3/ If you live in a state that denies political parties their right to choose their own candidate-selection procedures, you should ask your lawmakers to change that
I first met Jim Comey 22 years ago when I was an assistant U.S. attorney in Salt Lake City
2/
Mr. Comey paid a visit to the U.S. attorney’s office in Utah in response to an invitation from my former boss (and longtime friend and mentor), then-U.S. Attorney Paul Warner
3/
1/ The REINS Act is a potential game-changer for restoring constitutional balance
It would prevent major regulations (those imposing compliance costs of at least $100M) from taking effect without being passed by Congress—not just rubber stamped by unelected bureaucrats!
2/ Under the Constitution, only the people’s elected lawmakers are authorized to make federal law
Congress & the Supreme Court have neglected that requirement for decades
The REINS Act would fix this problem, which costs Americans trillions of dollars a year
3/ Essentially everything you buy becomes more expensive as businesses struggle to comply with the tens of thousands of pages of new federal regulations issued annually
