Children are starving in Gaza. Ukraine is in shambles and the US stands by. Trump hates his own

country and its people. This country has gone to hell. When will we say enough is enough?

Thanks to person who told me how to find the “read” button under “Read full story.” I was misinformed and not very observant.

They want her to cooperate.

Julie Brown has more info than anybody on Epstein/Maxwell. She has identified the Acosta AUSAs and Epstein's counsel when Epstein got the deal of the cdentury in 2008 and co-defendants got a get out of jail free card. She was able to get the fulll DOJ internal investigation report on Acosta, but at the time they did not investigate the possible codefendants, especially Trump.

Jen, please concentrate on this.

Is there an option for a daily roundup instead of getting individual e-mails?

The interview with Julie K Brown was eye opening. My intuition is that Epstein has been at this for quite a while and has victims from as early as 1990.

Although most videos/chats are eventually available as transcripts, some do not, even in the "read full story". Sometimes the transcripts come later; sometimes not. Oh well. It's the authors' loss of readers.

Maxwell just got set up for an implicit death sentence. Everyone knows that child rapists get killed while in prison. The only way for her to survive with certainty (except for actions by guards) is for her to be in a maximum-security solitary confinement setting with round the clock monitoring. She just got transferred to a less secure prison in Texas. There are lots of murders in Texas prisons...

...which brings me to her partner in crime... there were no cameras on the entrance to his cell block nor on his cell. Adverse action by guards cannot be excluded - so far. Suicide is both tidy and too convenient. Cell block doors are electronically monitored. The timing of every unlock and lock is recorded - unless the system is off line...

I never heard of a women child rapist killed in prison. In fact, I never heard of a woman killed by fellow prisoners in a federal facility. Maybe by guards.

Google gets a lot of hits on that theme. If you search, you will find.

Ok, I dug deeper. You are correct about deaths of female inmates being fewer and harder to find. The motivations are also less clear. Here is one example: https://www.ajc.com/news/investigations/rare-murders-of-women-come-to-light-as-ga-prisons-set-homicide-record/X6G25DUQG5BNFM6NFVU6YIX6NU/

State prisons are worse, even for men. The for-profit outsourcing of jails is part of the problem.

When I click on "read full story", underneath the video is a line of options. One of them is "transcript". I almost never watch the videos; I just read the transcripts.
