Ed Martin, Trump's pick for D.C. U.S. District Attorney, ghostwrote online attacks against an Illinois judge with whom he was in a legal dispute.

When #Trump became president I setup a #Ghost website but I don't have time to add posts to it
It's inspired by Molly's @web3isgreat
Maybe some people on here feel a calling for posting all chaos Trump has caused so far on here?
Kind of a sum up of all that is happening since it's so much.. 
DM would be fine
Maybe, instead of haphazardly deploying armed troops on US city streets, #Trump should be deploying them at #Israel embassies and consulates across Amerikkka to keep them from 🔥BURNING🔥. #globalsumudflotilla

Apparently, Canadian journalist Dean Blundell got the goods... #letter #trump
This IS exactly as described in the WSJ article, complete with "Donald" being used as pubes. The letter made up a page in a leather-bound book of birthday wishes, collected by Ghislaine Maxwell for #epstein 's 50th birthday, in January 2003... one year before the real estate squabble that caused the friendship to break up.
