      It’s crazy to me that people still think law in the US equally applies to everyone, and are in shock every time they see that it doesn’t.

        We’re not in shock, we’re increasingly dejected and occasionally it builds up enough to make us scream for a minute before worse news mutes us again.

        Well yeah. He was the fall guy, and it’s WAY easier to suicide someone when they’re inside your prison.

          You don’t like his tone, but it’s very important those two people went to prison. Should more people be in prison? Absolutely.

          We’re in a worse situation than that now. There was some rule of law when those two went to prison. They likely wouldn’t go today. They weren’t just some “faces”; they were the primary people responsible for the crimes.

          The murderers of Renee Good and Alex Pretti aren’t in jail.

          So, “yes a single person”. Also Ghislaine was prosecuted. Glad we’re on the same page there.

            And just like Epstein, she’s getting all kinds of special treatments. Not nearly as egregious as Epstein got, but there’s still way too much preferential handling of her food and accomodations.

            But awesome, you’re up to 2 people charged in a massive conspiracy to rape children. Cool cool cool cool cool.

              I am sure the only reason Maxwell hasn’t russuicided like epstein is she has compromising information that would be released on her death. Epstein probably had that too until the president and his pals talked to Israeli intelligence and cut a deal with them. Maxwell likely has her own people, as if this is some Robert Ludlum novel.

        Because he has blackmail on the president, not because he was a child trafficker. He got like a could weeks of community service for that one… By the guy who later became a member of PEDOnald’s cabinet
