Dear Pam Bondi, (A Letter From A Father) Dear Ms Bondi,

This piece has been viewed over 14 million times over the last 48 hours. Unbelievable.

I'm so encouraged to see how many people are as disgusted by this as I am.

Sometimes you just need to be reminded that you're not alone.

Keep fighting, good people!

As usual, children show more sense than adults. There is hope for the future.

I'm going to have to stop reading all this about Trump and Epstein. I have family in America , I was almost an American - but I'm not. I can do nothing to sort this. I'm in Scotland and can't even sort this place out.
If I continue reading I'll go off my head.
Time out.
