That’s all you need to know about the type of vile reprehensible disgusting thing it is.

What I see is a human with obvious mental illness. A bigger problem is the world’s mental illness whereby otherwise sane people make him rich and famous.

I don't claim to be sure. But I feel fine about saying that I see Epstein being murdered as lot more likely than a suicide.
Maxwell knows all the things Epstein knows. She witnessed the rich and famous people with Epstein. If anything, it appears she had a more active role in the recruitment process.

What's stopping her from ratting on these powerful people that supposedly killed Epstein?

The identified Epstein as more likely to talk, killed him, but then let Maxwell's trial proceed? Seems like a bold move.

It is not getting coverage at all.

If you do a Google search, most mainstream outlets report on it once a week maybe.

Not sure if there are many Twitter accounts reporting on it either. Two of the biggest accounts who were posting half news / half tabloid crap got shut down the other day.

^ i cam across some twitter feed the other day for Ghislaine Trail Tracker (or something like that). I was reading some of the stuff; however, it is hard to know how legit the tweets were.

one would suggest that the lack of coverage of this plays into theory of whether or not this is a sham trail. I tend to think it is; however, i guess i will wait and see what the outcome is.

I'm not sure about the sham trial thing but if anything, to me, this shows the preponderance of MSM to report on and vilify crimes committed by males and specifically white males. This is especially true when the allegations are sexual in nature. In my opinion, if the accused in this case was a male friend of Epstein the trial would have a lot more attention because a male is accused of sex traffic.

Are you sure? CNN is updating their trial page multiple times a day some days as new information from it comes in.

Something must be up with your search. I get 20+ results just from this morning and nearly 100 from the last 24 hours.

What are you talking about? The New York Times returns 7 different links from the last couple of days in a Google News search.

I would say the level of coverage here is relatively high. A story on the main page of the BBC and it's the top two stories in the North America section.

If Maxwell drops a bomb, like she saw Bill Clinton banging a 15 year old, things will obviously really blow up.

As for the targeting males more than females thing, are people forgetting that Epstein already had a trial for doing the exact same thing to dozens of women and underage girls, and that court proceeding got almost no press?

Of course missing-white-woman-syndrome has gained some prominence in usage lately, but probably the only thing media loves more than an attractive female victim is an attractive female alleged criminal. Casey Anthony, Foxxy Knoxy, Jodi Arias, Alison Mack.

What are you searching for?

When I search for 'Ghislaine Maxwell Trial Updates', I get one link from the NY Post & NY Times from Today, and everything else is 3 days or more older.

Tons of people in the movie business knew about Weinstein, and he didn't invite other men to his sex parties, nor had he been in prison over it before. Epstein also boasted quite a lot.

You can't say for sure who specifically knew what, that would require specific evidence, but you can say it's safe to assume that lots of people knew enough to be guilty of at least turning blind eye.
You just called it a fact and then put multiple conditions on it. that in itself is not a fact.
