| The honeypots are 100% the best part of being a spy or a VIP target for an intelligence agency. On that note, they never worked on french spies as infidelity and sex stuff hold seemingly zero leverage over french men. |

It does not make sense and looks like another operation where ironically the trafficking was the cover. In other words, we know nothing about the real dynamics that led to the "suicides" of Epstein and Brunel. |

| Only a "close relationship", no sex is alleged. |

This may be entirely unfair framing of course. |

| It was publicly known that Mitterrand had a mistress |

| It's still advisable to pretend that it might work, though. Just saying...you've got to think strategically when you work in the national security business. |
