From what i understand, trump tried to get Kirk to let the Epstein thing go. But Kirk went right back to calling for ALL the files to be released.
Kirk was becoming troublesome. Now, he's a handy martyr.
We still don't know much about the guy who supposedly shot him, do we? I mean, except for those VERY suspicious messages between him and his 'trans-lover'. I mean, do we have any REAL (as in, NOT fabricated!) evidence of his motives?
