you sort of encouraged not to tell people? Isn't it a better play if you don't mention it? And if somebody asks, aren't you supposed to say, nah, not me.

And then there's also that gray area, which is, well, you don't have to be on the payroll of an intelligence agency. You could just be in favor of what they're doing. Maybe lend them a hand now and then. Maybe they do you a favor later. Maybe you were just afraid of what they would do if you didn't help them. But isn't there a lot of gray area that would push both Epstein and maybe even his lawyer into a not necessarily an employee of any intelligence agency but possibly on their side possibly.

So as fascinating as that point is that Epstein would have told him if he was an intelligence asset, the part that I'm missing is he asked him if he was. Isn't that kind of missing? I don't know. And since we know Dershowitz is very pro-Israel, if there was any kind of Israel connection, would we expect that Alan Dershowitz would be the person who would let us know about that? I would say not if it's bad for Israel. He's very open about being highly supportive of Israel. He's American first, but still I don't know if he's the one we should believe when it comes to intelligence assets. But highly credible on other topics. And by the way, that has nothing to do with Dershowitz. I would say that's the same for anybody, right? If you put anybody else in the position of being Epstein's lawyer, I would say, yeah, I mean if you know something you're not supposed to tell people, we get it.

Glenn Greenwald found an old New York Times article that said that Ghislaine Maxwell's father's publishing group, you remember Ghislaine Maxwell's father was a big publisher, that his publishing group admitted in court that Seymour Hersh who wrote about the Ghislaine Maxwell and the father situation, I guess mostly about the father, was quote fully justified in accusing Robert Maxwell of working for Israeli intelligence. So and we also know that when Maxwell died, he was given an official state funeral in Israel even though he was not an Israeli citizen and that multiple former heads of Mossad attended his Israel state funeral. Again, he was not Israeli and they gave him an Israel state funeral. So I would say the evidence that Ghislaine Maxwell's father worked for the Mossad is pretty darn good. Not confirmed, but certainly the breadcrumbs are there. Does that mean that Ghislaine Maxwell was a spy? No, doesn't mean that. So we're short of any kind of a confirmation there, but we got our suspicions.

And then you probably saw some fake news yesterday. People asked me why I didn't talk about it. It was because when I saw it, I didn't trust it. So my hunch that it was fake news was right. So Marjorie Taylor Greene is explaining that if you saw something that said that there were several House Republicans who voted to block the release of the Epstein files, that was fake news. It's true in some form, but it's the reason they blocked it had nothing to do with the Epstein stuff. It had to do with the it was a procedural thing, you know, that it was either wrapped up with something they didn't want it wrapped up with or there was some procedural problem. But no, there were no Republicans who voted to not show the Epstein files to the public. That didn't happen. There was something that might have headed in that direction that they thought had some flaws that had nothing to do with Epstein. So that did happen but more fake news than real news.

Trump talking about the Epstein files and he said to reporters yesterday, quote, I would say that these files were made up by Comey. They were made up by Obama. They were made up by Biden, and we went through years of that with the Russia Russia hoax. Now let me give you some advice. If you ever find yourself in a position of having to cover up something and you want to tell a lie about it, never sta
