The DOJ has been keeping the names of the pedophiles under lock and key for over 20 years. But somehow suddenly only this year old DOJ and AG are the villains.
Deflections. I will LOVE for THOSE people to face justice TOO. Wouldn't you?

Have you been pining for it the last 20 years or just recently? Are you asking why haven't they faced justice over the last 20-30 years? I am.

Public reporting does not show that Trump directly ordered or coordinated Maxwell’s transfer himself.
  • When asked about the transfer, Trump said he was not aware of it and did not know the details.
  • Official statements from the Bureau of Prisons have treated inmate assignments as an agency decision, not something the president publicly acknowledged directing.
There is no verified evidence that Trump personally intervened, issued an instruction, or dictated the decision to move her.​
Another fact check fail from AI
Right, since there’s no “order” on TruthSocial, (which seems to be the (unofficial) official channel right now), obviously some mid-level DOJ/BOP staffer decided, on their own, to transfer Ms Maxwell to a cushy prision.

What’s it like carrying the President’s water?

I don't know what this image is supposed to mean, as you post it without any comment or context. Can you clarify?

The context is Bondi appearing before a congressional committee. She would not even look at the women, much less offer to have a DOJ attorney meet with them......

Les Wexner: The former CEO of L Brands (Victoria's Secret) has been identified as a "potential co-conspirator" in newly unredacted Department of Justice files. Wexner, who was Epstein's primary client for two decades, recently donated over $250,000 to Republican candidates and committees, including the National Republican Senatorial Committee.

House Oversight Committee set to depose former Epstein associate Leslie Wexner

The retail billionaire's wealth helped fuel Jeffrey Epstein's fortune.

Years after the two severed ties, prosecutors in New York initially included Wexner in a group of potential co-conspirators to be investigated after Epstein was arrested in July 2019, though they later determined there was "limited evidence regarding his involvement," according to a recently-released 2019 email from an FBI agent who was part of the sex crimes investigation.

According to the memo, Abigail Wexner discovered Epstein "misappropriated a significant amount of the family's funds," including by purchasing property on the Wexners' behalf before selling it to himself at a fraction of the cost.

"The Wexners did not want to bring unnecessary public attention to the issue, so they withdrew the power of attorney, and hired counsel to negotiate a private settlement with Epstein."

Epstein resigned from the foundation and all of his roles with Wexner in September 2007, according to an independent review conducted in 2020 of Epstein’s involvement with the Wexner Foundation.

Although Epstein and Wexner appear to have severed ties following Epstein's plea deal, documents released by the DOJ suggest that Epstein may have attempted to rekindle their relationship in subsequent years by drafting a letter reminding Wexner of shared experiences and alleged secrets. In the letter, Epstein wrote that he protected him when he was questioned by Wexner's wife about his management of their money.

"You and I had 'gang stuff' for over 15 years. A great deal of it, that she was unaware of. I had no intention of divulging any confidence of ours, no matter what accusations she made. And she made quite a few," Epstein wrote in the draft note.

[Drift of the article makes it seem like Wexler is more likely to be involved in financial crimes rather than sex crimes.]

That's when conjecture comes into play. Also the fact is that prisoners like Maxwell are transferred to safer prisons. Considering what she was convicted of along with how extremely high profile she is, it's not unusual or unheard of.
Do you have the numbers? How many high profile prisoners convicted of conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, conspiracy to transport minors to participate in illegal sex acts, transporting a minor to participate in illegal sex acts, sex trafficking conspiracy, and sex trafficking of a minor where transferred to a safer prison? How many of non-high profile prisoners convicted of conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, conspiracy to transport minors to participate in illegal sex acts, transporting a minor to participate in illegal sex acts, sex trafficking conspiracy, and sex trafficking of a minor where transferred to a safer prison?

What are you using to determine if Ghislaine Maxwells transfer was unusual (it is coupled to my question below)?

Also unusual and unheard of are two quite different scales. Not unheard of means that it has happened at least once (I would guess? Please correct me if I'm wrong!), but what do YOU mean with unusual?

Some reasons for it are as follows:
  • Safety from other inmates – Child sex offenders are often targeted violently by other prisoners. Protective units reduce the risk of assault, sexual attack, or even murder.
  • Preventing prison riots or disturbances – Keeping high-risk offenders separate can prevent fights or tensions that might escalate into larger conflicts.
  • Staff management – Housing vulnerable prisoners in specialized units allows prison staff to monitor them more effectively, reducing overall supervision challenges.
  • Mental health and rehabilitation – Some units provide counseling or treatment programs specifically for sex offenders, which can be easier to administer in a controlled environment.
  • Legal and liability considerations – Prisons can face legal consequences if an inmate is seriously harmed because the system failed to protect them. Moving vulnerable offenders can mitigate this risk - ChatGPT

The Republican campaign entities that received donations from Wexner should do the right thing and reject that money. It's tainted. Maybe they have, but I have not heard of it.

Have you been pining for it the last 20 years or just recently? Are you asking why haven't they faced justice over the last 20-30 years.
I wouldn't have pined about something I didn't know about so not the last 20 years no.

It's pretty obvious why nobody has faced justice for this long. "They" are trying to cover it up.

We are in a position now to get actual full disclosure on this, and you seem more fixated the past instead of putting this energy into this final push to bring it all into the light.

NOBODY is arguing with you here Servus. EVERYONE would be happy to see all these folks covering up end up in jail. You don't need to keep harping on about it. The victims were in court DIRECTLY behind Bondi.

For a long time, nobody believed and the rich tried to silenced these victims. There were suspicions of course but nothing tantamount to somethign that could be considered court evidence.

NOW, there are some VERY convincing pieces of evidence that have been shared. The AG is sitting right there, looking at all that evidence, and is refusing to speak to the victims. This is not the cover up the last 20 years where there was no evidence presented that there WAS A coverup. Now we KNOW there's a coverup, but we are trying to deal with the crimes that were being covered up...NOT the cover up itself. That's later.


It sure is swell to remember that these crimes have been covered up for the last 20-30 years. But it's like your late to the party and you're trying to take your eyes off the price: justice for the acts BEFORE justice for the coverup just seems logical. These victims SHOULD be getting justice now and they are not. For some reason you don't appear to be questioning why the DOJ isn't pursuing charges against anyone.

You have people like Massie, who has access to everything saying stuff like "if this all got out, the whole system would collapse". I mean, we both know that isn't true. Rich people NEVER face consequences for their actions....but he's saying a lot of people are involved in this.

It's time for the whole system to collapse. The guilty get away with it because they are powerful. That must end. If it takes out the Democratic Party, great. If it takes out the Republican Party, great. If it takes out a sitting president and a few past presidents, great. If it takes out half of Congress, great. If it takes out a huge chunk of corporate and institutional America, great. If the collapse reaches to foreign governments and institutions, great. Rebuilding will mean a more representative government by and for the people. Bring it. THAT's the swamp worth draining.

I really truly wish this opinion was 100% bipartisan held.

I would be curious RIGHT now to see poll results here on CF to get a sense of who doesn't like that idea.

So now, a term which I never really grasped what it meant and who they referred.
But is this the protection of the those within the Epstein files by the Trump admin the swamp people talk about?
Is this the swamp that needs draining handed on a platter to the Trump admin they refuse to drain?

There is no must here, this is realty not a movie with a presupposed happy ending. Something being unconscionably vile does not preclude it from continuing. The epstien class will lay low, with bed fellows provided by whoever took epstiens place, safe in their power and wealth waiting for this all to loose steam so they can step back out into public life.

May I eat each and every one of those words but I have no hope for the arrival of that meal.

If they follow through with it, does it matter if it's the 5th or 6th? Seen plenty of Republicans refuse to testify to hearings before....not sure what the problem is.

Jim Jordan is at about the 4 year mark for ignoring a Congressional subpoena, although I'm not sure what happens to the clock when the subcomittee no longer exists.
