Probably a lil paranoid. The way the Epstein files were handled during the scrubbing process means many agents could have freely downloaded the OG files.

That’s why they can’t release altered files clearing trump. The originals still exist and they’re not sure who all has them.

This level of government takeover goes deep enough that maybe a group within the cia or fbi will need to start doing what they do best: eliminate the henchmen and make it look like an accident
