Unfortunately, that's what you must do to get info on Trump. Trump surrounds him with scumbags. She got info from Epstein, who happens to be her constituent since he resided in the Virgin Islands, to better question Cohen. Here's a sample exchange:

“Cohen brought up RONA - keeper of the secrets,” Epstein texted Plaskett at 2:24 p.m., misspelling the first name of former Trump executive assistant Rhona Graff, whom Cohen had mentioned in his testimony.

“RONA??” Plaskett responded. “Quick I’m up next is that an acronym,” she added.

“Thats his assistant,” Epstein replied, two minutes before Plaskett began asking Cohen questions.

Pretty disappointing to see the piling on of Plaskett in this thread.
