    That usually happens when you know they have a metric shit ton of evidence that could destroy your nice cushy life, and they’re able to make any deal they want with prosecutors. Especially when they’ve done it before.

      He did, turns out the ones to release those files were convinced not to.

      Maxwell has something set up as such, or she wouldn’t be around right now. If I had to guess, I’d say Epstein’s guy was Israeli intelligence connected, directly or indirectly, the president’s fixers, et al, got to them, made a deal to give him up in exchange for extra fealty to Israel and their politicians and projects.

    This former cop was moved out of his cell because he was shaking Epstein down for money, according to complaints Epstein made. They weren’t friends by any stretch.

    You mean Trump going down that escalator and noticing that there were people stupid enough to vote for him changed things? All of a sudden, Trump’s skeletons in the closet meant more. He had no way forward if Epstein started talking.

    It should have corrected itself with the file release, but Donnie already had too much power to force redactions.

    Tartaglione has “a self-confessed hatred of child sex offenders.”

    Errr…who, except “child sex offenders” (what’s wrong with “child-rapist”?), doesn’t?

    Makes me seriously question the whole thing and the whole source.
