Well thats why alex acosta is so highly regarded in conservative circles. Getting epstein to take a deal with zero evidence against him is mind flayer level lawyering.

[–] SLVRDRGN@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

As soon as Epstein died, it was clear that the public statements about the circumstances surrounding his death was absolutely sketchy. One of the most high-profile people to be held in prison, and they completely botched it? It was absolutely a coverup. Would not be surprised if the info he would give up would put any presidential hopefuls at the time at risk of winning the election either.

It would have caused international scandals too. I think they had to cover it up… anything to save face of the leadership/the .01%

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

The leaderships face is not being saved. Epstein was an intelligence honeypot.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's known that he and Maxwell would traffic minors to get incriminating video on people so they would become assets of multiple intelligence agencies.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That is suspected. Can you link to anything that increases the certainty?

Not because I'm being a dick, but because evidence would be interesting and useful.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's more of an open secret.

[–] electricyarn@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

So no then?

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The abusers are being saved. They’re Epstein and his clients, who happen to be at the top of the food chain.

Think about who is saving the abusers.

It's not a food chain. It's about power.

Its crazy how Pam Bondi the Attorney General says there was no epstein files client list when a few months ago she said on live tv that she was currently reviewing the epstein files client list

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (5 children)

She tried to walk back the comments about the file being on her desk, except she made those comments multiple times on different shows. She promised results within days, then nothing. Suddenly there is no list, and right wing news shows are now even saying Epstein wasn’t a bad guy and was set up

[–] Dr_Box@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Next itll be that there was no Epstein. He was made up by the Democrats who are secretly in cahoots with China or some shit

It's sketchy but also feasibly explained by incompetence. "Oh yeah I just started on that homework assignment last night" tier of bullshit.

Poor Ghislaine Maxwell in prison for sex trafficking to nobody.

I'm struggling to reconcile this with the previous reason given for not releasing the files, that they were a national security risk. So, releasing no evidence would have been a risk to national security after Epstein was dead?

[–] MisterD@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 days ago

Trump probably collected millions in extortion money from everybody on that list

[–] dustyData@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The government lies.

It doesn't matter when or where you read this, it's always true.

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes and no. It depends on the part of the government in question.

Take the Government Accountability Office. I pretty much trust anything they put out. The same goes for NASA, and until this year, NOAA.

OSHA also tends to get a pass.

Homeland Security or the FBI? My sodium intake becomes dangerously high.

And that's even before Trump returned to power.

sodium intake becomes dangerously high

Perhaps switch to black salt?

Trump is a pedo...

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

[–] catty@lemmy.world 39 points 3 days ago (8 children)

The FBI raided his estate and seized all CCTV video footage. Release the video!

Trump is blackmailing at least one other person on the client list. It's the only way I can make sense of the fact they said they were going to release it and then didn't.

[–] IhaveCrabs111@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

So not because trump is implicit in his closest friend for decades actions?

I fear this is becoming a joke, because it is hard to cope with the concept that the leaders of this country (from both parties) as well as very powerful and influential people are literal pedofiles who raped children.

there's a "yes minister" sketch about how to be a politician you can't have a clean criminal record, you must have done corruption case to show you have experience in the system. nowadays that sketch should be about how normalised pedophilia is in the government.
