SHE TOOK THE MYSTERY BOX

[–] oliver@lemmy.pifferi.io 1 points 37 minutes ago

Maybe she was gifted a rope or a knife so that she can surprisingly make the Epstein-move in custody? Not that we were surprised though… 🤷🏼‍♂️

[–] MisterOwl@lemmy.world 18 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Honest question, how is this whole thing not witness tampering?

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 6 points 2 hours ago

I think because it's the state doing it.

[–] Mamdani_Da_Savior@lemmy.world 14 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Absolutely bonkers, he's going try to pardon a pedo to avoid being convicted of being a pedo himself.

[–] MisterOwl@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago

"Try"? Of course he will.

Something has always bothered me about her. Not the fact that she was probably witness and participated in the rape and abuse of the girls.

But how she got into the picture.

Not to mention, she had her own environmental non-profit (clearly a front) that took all sorts of money for international waters (you know, the implication).

Her father was found dead "having fell off his yacht." Then his businesses collapsed, ultimatelty it was discovered he embezzled hundreds of millions of pounds($$).

But more importantly, is that he was suspected to be a triple agent tied to the U.S., Israel, and by none other than Russia. Which, is awfully strange considering Trump's ties to Russia, and the US ties with Israel.

She, herself, grew up amongst incredible wealth. Why would she need to be the recruiter for Epstein? Why would she be madly in love with him, or be his assistant? Apparently she was one to have "organized his life."

When her father died, she was left with an £80k/yr income and lived in New York City and was pretty much just a socialite. In 1991, £80k/yr still wasn't that impressive for NYC. Her father had also introduced Maxwell to Epstein. She would have been in her 20s. Then they "broke up." But remained extremely close.

Russia, Israel, US. Trump, Maxwell, Epstein. The wealthiest and most powerful knew her and despite her lost wealth, kept her around. Why would they do that?

Easy - she had the ability to coerce girls into being raped. She probably plays a huge part in this, and if I had to guess, Trump and friends want her free because of what she can do for them. They would have killed her already if she had less value.

Well that's all pretty fucking grim isn't it

My therapist calls it anxiety or catastrophic thinking.

I call it pattern recognition, annoyingly powerful imagination, and limited prescience.

A former aide to Attorney General Pam Bondi said Thursday that the president is scheming up a “hidden pardon” deal with Maxwell, which would have her say he participated in no wrongdoing with Epstein, the sex offender who died in prison in 2019 amid new charges of sex trafficking.

Dave Aronberg, Bondi’s drug czar when she was Florida’s attorney general, told CNN Thursday that there could be in the works “a deal with Ghislaine Maxwell that she would get some immunity now and maybe a hidden pardon in the future: some sort of implication that she would be pardoned in the future if she comes out and says that the president was... not involved in any criminal activity.”

I'm no detective or former drug Czar for Pam Bondi, but I too suspect that they are probably going to do the most obvious and blatantly corrupt thing they could possibly do.

Aronberg also voiced suspicions of Blanche conducting the interview with Maxwell, given his close history with Trump as his former attorney.

Probably me next week when he's gotten away with it once again, and we're just supposed to continue pretending this is all normal:

[–] Duranie@leminal.space 29 points 19 hours ago

Bonus points - she throws some left leaning Democrat "friendly" under the bus at the same time, creating a bigger distraction. "Trump did nothing wrong, but take a look at what THIS guy did over here..."

Don't get me wrong, all the guilty in this mess need to burn. All of them. Whoever they are or wherever they're from, it doesn't matter. But I can absolutely see them cherry picking the right flavor of guilty person to take the heat off of Trump for the time being.

[–] SassyRamen@lemmy.world 66 points 1 day ago

He always gets away with it. I'm so fucking tired of this.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 10 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Americans really seem to want to do nothing, don’t they…

They should be marching on the capital, instead they defend inaction and talk about how the government want violence so they can get away with everything they’re already getting away with.

[–] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 14 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

I enjoy not getting shot in the head, thanks.

We're very quickly running out of options though.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 14 points 22 hours ago

Tell that to the people who have already ran out of options.

This is the 'First they came for the immigrants and trans' part of your future reflection. Maybe you can 'never again' it in 15 years time so you can feel like you did something to save lives.

A boat is just a boat. But a mystery box could be anything. It could even be a boat! You know how much she's been wanting one of those!

[–] Chee_Koala@lemmy.world 12 points 21 hours ago

It could be two boats!

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 71 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Wait she left the prison for this? They brought a felon out of jail to have an interview at the Department of Justice? They didn't go to her? That's so fucking weird.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Probably brought her into a SCIFF. They are up to some shady shit.

[–] tankplanker@lemmy.world 86 points 23 hours ago

No having to sign in on the prison log, no being on the cameras, far easier to hide who she spoke to, especially if it was on the phone to Donnie while she was out

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 12 hours ago

probably going over the details of the epstein files, that are naming trump.

[–] bigfondue@lemmy.world 20 points 22 hours ago

Yea Bill Barr went to the Manhattan prison where Epstein was himself.

[–] Babalugats@feddit.uk 77 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

It's her script. A lot to research and learn

[–] avattar@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 23 hours ago

A lot to memorize. And practice until it appears like truth.

[–] crankyrebel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 74 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

“The Department of Justice will share additional information about what we learned at the appropriate time,” Blanche, President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney, said in a statement on X.

I hope he's dumb enough to pardon her.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

You would hope an action like that would lead to impeachment and jail.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

.... for Obama? Yeah, I think Republicans would go there.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)
[–] dhork@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

Democrats ended up passing impeachment articles against Trump for the second time with a week left in Trump's term. The Senate took them up after he was officially out of office.

You can bet that Republicans will use that as precedent to say they can impeachment Obama years after the fact, for made-up shit. In fact, I think we will see more abuses of these powers that look judicial but are really political. Impeach Biden for being senile? Impeachment Obama over Russiagate? Heck, they can even go back and posthumously impeach Carter over his sweater. They don't have to convict, but just the impeachment alone will go on Democrat's "permanent record". Anything is possible when you just can make shit up!

[–] carlossurf@lemmy.ca 4 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Trump gotta assassinate her too like he did with epstein to avoid the truth coming out

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I have doubts Trump was involved in Epstein's death. I don't think he has the spine for that sort of stuff.

[–] javiwhite@feddit.uk 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I don't think they were implying trump assassinated Epstein personally; but rather ordered the hit.

Given we're talking about a supposed peadophile with a litany of accusers in his wake; I wouldn't say telling someone else to end the guy keeping a black book with all the dirty history is far fetched at all. The murder happened whilst trump was president; and trump evidently had a lot of close ties with Epstein (alluding to the possibility that he had a lot if not the most to lose... Should Epstein turncoat to save his own skin etc..).

I don't think ordering a hit is something that requires a spine; in the name of self preservation, one could even argue it's a cowardly act.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

Ordered shows too much action and initiative. I'd go with "Was made aware of on the golf course".

[–] zarathustra0@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

IIRC she's been documenting everything on paper whilst she's been in prison. I suspect it's so that they can make this evidence 'disappear'.

[–] rozodru@lemmy.world 6 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

then why let her leave with it? hell why let her leave at all? I mean don't they have windows that are fairly high up at the DOJ?

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 5 points 19 hours ago

She's valuable to them.

It's not exactly easy for 70 year old well known billionaires to walk anywhere and ask 15 year olds to hang out with them and get raped.

She's always been a socialite. She knows how to get people to do things, and the rest of the elite know she has skills they don't - namely she can get them girls they couldn't otherwise obtain, and she wouldn't say shit about it. She's been doing it for decades, and I imagine when she was imprisoned a lot of powerful men were very upset.

Are there others that could do it? Probably. But finding someone to do that, and then trusting them enough to not squeel? She's been in prison, and when she was on the stand, she said nothing - read the court transcripts, she controlled her whole narrative.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 9 points 21 hours ago

Quid pro quo, Clarice.

[–] Substance_P@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

They probably gave her that to prepare for her second day of questioning.

[–] Kurious84@lemmings.world 4 points 19 hours ago

Ok. First one to say "what's that ticking"
