Summary
This document is a piece of correspondence (likely an email or letter) from a filmmaker to counterculture figure Paul Krassner. The author explains creative choices made in a film script that features Krassner as a character, specifically addressing scenes involving LSD and Squeaky Fromme. The author draws parallels between the political climate of the Nixon era and the Trump era, discusses Krassner's legacy with 'The Realist,' and expresses a desire not to disrespect that legacy. *Note: While the prompt identifies this as 'Epstein-related,' the text contains no direct references to Jeffrey Epstein; it appears to be part of a larger document dump (House Oversight).*

your relationship with Lenny had so much to do with your evolution as a writer
Paul Krassner in my script was in some ways a vessel to project all my own hang-ups onto.
The smooching with Squeaky isn’t meant to be any kind of bawdy Enquirer scandal.
