🤔MF kunne ikke sige sandheden om besøget, som sandsynligvis var “SORRY”, vi har lukket lækket.

Jacob Kaarsbo i “Ikke en finger at sætte”-podcast:
- Læk hos os er den daværende regerings skyld.

- Den daværende regering godkendte pressemeddelelsen fra TET i 2020. Bagefter begyndte lækagen.

- Tilliden er brudt. Min erfaring er, at der går plus ti år, før tilliden er genoprettet.

Despite the #childSex offenses and links to #financialCrimes, according to the CIA, Burns didn’t know anything, "[Epstein] was introduced as an expert in the #financialServices sector and offered general advice on transition to the private sector."
