Another file released on Tuesday is a letter that appears to have been sent by Jeffrey Epstein to Larry Nassar, the US gymnastics team doctor convicted of sexually abusing scores of young gymnasts, while he was in jail.

In the letter, postmarked 13 August 2019 and sent from jail, the letter reads:

“Dear L.N. as you know by now, I have taken the “short route” home. Good Luck! We share one thing … our love & caring for young ladies at the hope they’d reach their full potential. Our president also shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to “grab snatch,” whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system. Life is unfair. Yours, J. Epstein.”

In a post on X earlier, the US justice department said that some of the documents it has released “contain untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election. To be clear: the claims are unfounded and false, and if they had a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already.”

    It was sent either the day his island got raided by the FBI or around that time. He probably knew it was coming and maybe wanted to leave some bread crumbs.

    Otherwise yeah this feels like a sloppy plot point of a movie

      Last Podcast on the Left: Side stories has been covering the news and he did not know he was going to be arrested when he was. The emails show he was planning on meeting with Steve Bannon that afternoon to talk about doing a documentary to revive his public image.

      Someone above also noted that the letter was postmarked 3 days after his death so he likely sent it out the day he died.

      This probably explains it. Why else would they delete it? With as connected as this dick was, I wouldn’t be surprised if there were more instances like this. I hope they come out.
