This is huge. Being Epstein's ex-girlfriend and his alleged pimp, she'll have a ton of information to provide. Let's see if authorities have learned from the Epstein suicide and can manage to keep her alive until her trial. If true, she deserves everything coming to her X 100 and needs to be held accountable.

Hopefully she takes all the scumbags that participated in Epstein's disgusting behavior down too. Prince Andrew!!!

Oh you guys didn’t hear about her heart condition? Unfortunately the stress of the arrest may be too much for her to handle and she’ll pass away peacefully in her sleep. Happens sometimes.

I've heard of it. Atrial Snapitis. If she doesn't take a strictly regimented group of medications, her neck is broken while she sleeps in her cell.

She also seems like a rat, whose only priority in life is to preserve her own standard of living. She does not seem like the kind of person who has genuine friendships, and I can see her providing any and all information the authorities ask for, if it's in her best interests.

I do worry about the timing of this, with regards to the American election. Are we going to finally see the anti-Clinton facts, that will only support Trump's bid at re-election?

I don’t follow your logic with the arrest of Maxwell impacting Trump via the Clintons. Why would that matter? Trump may be exposed given his relationship with Epstein and Maxwell which seems like a more likely scenario unless of course she suddenly dies.

Trump told New York Magazine that he’d known Epstein for 15 years. “Terrific guy,” said Trump. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”
Yeah guys, the Clintons are the only ones who need to worry about the Epstein case.

I think Trump is more worried here given the SDNY situation. I think he had Barr try and fire the USDA because wanted to install a lackey that would drop the case. Didn't work, and now I imagine Maxwell will not be alive much longer, with Trump and Barr trying to put an end to her. For her sake I hope she has evidence just waiting to be released once she dies.

No she is going to trip and fall on a knife 37 times.


There is no way she is going to testify or live to testify when the names involved are that powerful.

That seems kinda unlikely, doesn't it? Isn't it more plausible that the lackey is charging her under Barr's direction and they will control the narrative that gets out and protect Trump?

edit: I guess the replacement wasn't a lackey, but Berman's anti-Trump deputy. This all plays out a lot like it does on Billions!

The lackey didn't get put in though, Berman's assistant US Attorney is now the acting one.

There's a good chance Trump will be exposed given his relationship with Epstein if she decides to sing.

Maxwell has had several months to sell her silence to the rich and powerful, I have no doubt she has a few million in various offshore banks and a promise of never having to worry about money again if she just does her relatively comfortable time in a minimum security setting quietly

The DoJ said in court that the cameras for entry into the secured facility show no one entered or exited and that the guards were on the Internet while Epstein committed suicide.

So either the DoJ is lying and is willing to doctor security footage to protect someone or Epstein committed suicide.. Or I guess there could be a secret entrance that the DoJ isn't aware of.

Sorry pal but the conspiracy thread convinced me to open my third eye and think about the truth. Plus the DoJ and Barr would lie at the drop of a hat.

So not jokingly when she dies under mysterious circumstances what then?

I mean, I'm not a conspiracy guy, but if there was ever going to be a cover up, this seems like the exact opportunity.

Trump was never on the island. Trump also distanced himself from Epstein earlier than a lot of other people. Not because he's a good guy, but because they butted heads. Specifically the quote you are talking about is from 2002. Trump and Epstein fell out in 2004, after competing for the same piece of real estate. Epstein wasn't arrested, for his first set of crimes, until 2005:

Quote:
When the allegations against Epstein became national news in 2019, Trump distanced himself from the convicted sex offender, saying that he “was not a fan” of the disgraced financier and eventually banned him from Mar-a-Lago.

And it does seem to be true that the two had a falling out in the years following that now-infamous New York Magazine quote. The Washington Post reported that in 2004 the two men each tried to buy the same Palm Beach mansion. Trump eventually won the auction, and later sold the home for more than twice the $41.35 million he spent on it. But the Post reported that the competition over the beachfront property spelled the end of Trump and Epstein’s friendship.
https://www.esquire.com/entertainmen...hip-explained/

Epstein was the kind of guy who rolled in big enough circles, anyone who was rich had interactions with him. Trump posing for a few pictures with him in the 90s, isn't going to be all that damaging.

If Clinton is actually placed on the island engaging in something questionable, it will be very damaging to the Democratic party.

Then like anything else it would have to be evaluated with the available evidence.

Sometimes that just means we can't know for sure.

If she doesn't die under mysterious circumstances I guess that means the conspiracy was fake all along?
