Penelope Wright @penelopewright.bsky.social · 26/07/2025Sure you could re-interview a woman who has been convicted of sex trafficking children and sentenced to 20 years in prison while dangling a pardon in front of her OR you could release the Epstein files because you have nothing to hide. I mean, I totally get it. It's a tough choice. 020
