In general I agree but the timing of saying this is peculiar given the E.M. trial.

More ironic than peculiar.

Ghislaine Maxwell's case got reopened. Cuz if there's no Epstein list than why did she go to jail?

Because she trafficked children. The DoJ's official story seems to be that Epstein and Maxwell abused children purely for their own edification while hanging out with a bunch of powerful people whom those children later falsely accused of sex crimes out of pure spite.

The Hockey Canada Sexual Assault Trial. The woman who was involved had the initials EM.

Some Quotes from the woman judge who presided over the case: “Although the slogan ‘believe the victim’ has become popularized of late, it has no place in a criminal trial. To approach a trial with the assumption that a complainant is telling the truth is the equivalent to imposing a presumption of guilt on the person accused of sexual assault and placing the burden on him to prove his innocence. That is antithetical to the fundamental principles of justice enshrined in our constitution.”

“On the basis of all the evidence, I find as a fact that the complainant did express she wanted to engage in sexual activity with the men by saying things like “Is someone going to f—- me” and by masturbating, the judge says.

“I accept the overwhelming evidence that E.M. was acting in a sexually forward manner by masturbating in this room full of men and asking them to engage with her. She communicated her willingness to engage in sexual activity.”
