Epstein is connected to the head of the Russian mob, but I'm sure that's just a coincidence.

4/ I’m not being cute, mentioning the Russian mob. Epstein’s longtime girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, is the daughter of Robert Maxwell, the publishing magnate who was business partners with Semion Mogilevich. Yes, THAT Mogilevich, the capo di tutti capi of the Russian mob.

2. He better not drink any tea

6. Safest place for him now...

just might be federal custody...

[Fiendish Thingy]

3. So, I'm guessing Trump will pardon or Barr will quash the prosecution nt

[BigmanPigman]

5. My money is on Barr.

I think he is behind the move of Manafort being sent to Rikers then changed to a different federal prison that wasn't as harsh. Rich, corrupt white MEN are thick as thieves.

[Eyeball_Kid]

7. IMO, I don't think he can. Epstein is the third rail. They won't go there.

Epstein is already a registered sex offender with close ties to Trumpy. It's too hot for Barr or anyone else to mess with.

[Meadowoak]

10. They will find Epstein dead from "suicide" before he can talk.

[Eyeball_Kid]

12. Your cynicism makes a bit of sense.

Epstein is ripe for a takedown, since he knows so much about so many. I've had the same notion about Mueller's vulnerability. He knows so much about so many as well. But Trumpy has no scruples, no guard rails. He can do or order anything he wishes. So can Putin.

13. The orange one used to have a fixer in Michael Cohen.

I don't think he is smart enough to have a cleaner. he may have to hire a subcontractor.

18. Barr recused himself.

Too hot to handle.

[Frustratedlady]

19. Really? When did he do that? n/t

[MrsCoffee]

20. Yesterday.

https://www.newsweek.com/william-barr-says-hes-recused-epstein-case-over-legal-conflict-1448165

"I am recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm I subsequently joined for a period of time," Barr told reporters in South Carolina. Earlier today, federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York indicted Epstein on felony charges related to sex trafficking minors, including one count of conspiracy to engage in sex trafficking of minors.

Quite interesting given his past refusal to recuse himself.

[Frustratedlady]

22. Thank you. My computer was hit yesterday and moved like molasses in January.

Hmmm! That doesn't fit Barr. He suddenly has scruples? Must be getting nervous.

I'll have to look for that article.

[MrsCoffee]

23. It certainly doesn't fit.

I can’t imagine the orange fool being in favor of Barr recusing himself. Must be going for the pardon.

Hope your computer feels better soon!

8. What disgusts me

Is I am a current air traffic controller, used to work at the tower in St. Thomas. Epstein was a VERY regular visitor to the island. He'd fly in his private Gulfstream (occasionally the 727), land, then immediately get in his private helicopter and fly to his tropical island (Little St. James. Easy to find on Google Maps, about 2-3 miles off the SE shore of St. Thomas). This was probably going on right in front of me and I never knew. If I did, there wasn't a whole lot I could do.

[NBachers]

9. I keep thinking of all these kids in cages; a captive supply to funnel into slavery & trafficking.

Or, how many already have been?

[questionseverything]

14. sadly, i think that has been the point

the cruelty was just a bonus to the repubs

[Frustratedlady]

21. Remember early on when they were moving kids around?

A reporter videotaped the transfer of young girls...probably 12 years old or so. They transferred them after waiting in a van or car for a certain time and they all had scarves or something covering their heads (if I'm recalling correctly). They walked in groups of 3, but I don't remember them actually going into a building, although they were walking on a sidewalk along a building.

At the time, I remember thinking, "I hope they aren't sending them to a sex ring." For some reason, there was something that stuck with me about that video and made me sick to my stomach for days.

[True Blue American]

26. 5 or 6

Of them. Never seen again. A Reporter just happened to see them.

[Frustratedlady]

29. Yes, there weren't many. OMG, I hope they weren't taken to an awful life.

I also remember it was late at night. Even worse to think about.

[True Blue American]

31. There is no reason to transfer

Children in the middle of the night.

11. This is the 'eyes wide shut' wing of the repuglinazi party shaking hands with the FSB KGB.

Rec, thanks.

[Books_Tea_Alone]

15. Epstein also connected to Barr's father

Barr's father, while head of the prestigious Dalton School in NYC, hired Epstein to tutor young girls. These connections run deep and I swear you cannot make this stuff up.

[dixiegrrrrl]

16. Just to be clear, Epstein was hired after the Fla. trial

so it was "recent", so to speak.

Yeah, it's a big secret club.

[Johnny2X2X]

24. Are you serious?

A billionaire pedophile was hired by a high school to be a math tutor to young girls???? That is insane!!!

[delisen]

28. Epstein was 20 when hired to teach math at Dalton School

At the time Epstein was not rich, nor was Barr's father who was Headmaster at the elite Manhattan school which catered to the children of the rich.

[dixiegrrrrl]

32. I stand corrected........thank you.

the article i read was not that clear.

[True Blue American]

25. Good Lord!

[triron]

17. Don't forget about what Acosta, Trump's labor secretary, did for Epstein.

[cilla4progress]

27. Well, everyone says they don't know where his money comes from.

I say - Russian mob!
