In other words, Bernstein says, NO ONE KNOWS WHAT WILL HAPPEN AND ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
Bernstein: “No one knows what is going to happen in the coming weeks or months, except likely impeachment by the House, because of the Democratic majority. As for the results of a Senate trial or the remainder of Trump’s term or the 2020 election, anything is possible.”

Simona Mangiante Papadopoulos: “I think it’s pretty clear to everyone who the ‘beast’ is.Tell the public how you lost custody of your children for Being an abusive mother and how you hid your first child from George’s father. Now please stop Harrassing me and be more constructive with your life. I did only good.”
Kiki Papadopoulos: “She had done so .many bad thing [sic] I do ask myself and George why is she still with he tells her to leave but then bevs [sic] him to stay. There will be a book out on the truth.”
Kiki Papadopoulos: “Simona u can change for George it’s too late but when u meet ur next beau recall all the lies u said beatings and punches u ga ve [sic] sabotaging his career eetc pls change Simona that is All [sic] we ask if it wasn’t for George u would still be walking the streets of Italy pls be kind.”
Simona Mangiante Papadopoulos: “Kiki you embarrassed yourself enough and still failed to provide evidence of “the many things” I did to George and yourself.
