“I’m appalled, appalled such treachery happened in this administration.” Barr and Trump own this as the federal prison system is in the executive branch. Their own Benghazi comes back to haunt the foul GOP.
The speed at which Bill ‘Redacto’ Barr is investigating this is amazing. He’s got the FBI collecting evidence from all of Epstein’s properties. Presumably the FBI will hand it all over to him for review. Since Barr is individual 1’s attorney, one could guess that there will be major redactions of this evidence as was done with the Mueller report.
“Unfortunately, what is being sold to the American people today, as ‘Americanism’… If you peel off the label, you’d find so much similarity to what we were fighting against when we were fighting Communism, and Nazism, and Fascism.”

“The first step in a fascist movement is the combination under an energetic leader of a number of men who possess more than the average share of leisure, brutality, and stupidity. The next step is to fascinate fools and muzzle the intelligent, by emotional excitement on the one hand and terrorism on the other.”
“Most of the greatest evils that man has inflicted upon man have come through people feeling quite certain about something which, in fact, was false.”

deep, deep apologies to L Bernstein/S. Sondheim’s “I Feel Pretty,” but—it’s convenient, so convenient,so unlucky he happened to die—but convenient,so convenient it couldmake me cry.
while disarming, it’s alarminghis harming himself as he could:it just happenedin a split second, no onethought he would!
see the petty man in the white house, there,why is he laughing with glee?such a lucky guynone to testifymaybe not even he!

Even the little that has been revealed about the world-wide connections of the wealthy to Epstein and their willingness to wallow with him in his depravity is so utterly nauseating I don’t know if we as a society are ready for any more. There’s a difference between standing outside a cesspool and looking at it and having it tsunami up over you.
Jane Doe 3, identified as Virginia Roberts, has claimed that Dershowitz has sex with her while she was a minor. Dershowitz has vigorously denied the allegations and he has cited a “conspiracy” against him by anti-Semites who are getting even for his longtime support for Israel. Unsubstantiated conspiracy theories by Dershowitz aside, the fact remains that the NPA immunized all of Epstein’s co-conspirators — who allegedly include Dershowitz — former President Bill Clinton, and Prince Andrew of Britain from future federal prosecution.
The NPA states: “. . . the United States also agrees that it will not institute any criminal charges against any potential co-conspirators of Epstein, including but not limited to [alleged Epstein accomplices] Sarah Kellen, Adriana Ross, Lesley Goff, or Nadia Marcinkova.” The NPA also suspended the federal grand jury investigation against Epstein and held in abeyance all federal grand jury subpoenas in the case against Epstein. These subpoenas presumably included those directed to witnesses in the case, individuals that likely include Dershowitz, Clinton, and Andrew.
Anybody with a lick of sense can see that removing judicial limitations on what Epstein can be forced to reveal makes it easier to track down his fellow perverts. Mind you anybody with a lick of decency (which is only mildly correlated with sense) wouldn’t be associated with that (unspeakable) in the first place.

Bill Clinton knows he’s perfectly safe because Barr can’t release any info implicating him without also implicating Individual 1.

But as to whether there WAS a conspiracy, that’s another question entirely.

I will repeat: that pervert KNEW he’d be convicted and he KNEW he would die in prison.
Saved us a ton of money without a trial.

. . . but intelligence officials say Trump’s willingness to traffic in outright misinformation and paranoid conspiracies presents a unique threat.
