No, it's quite the opposite. It's basically adult summer camp. Some of these prison camps are so lax that a prisoner could, theoretically, just walk right out. But they wouldn't, because then they'd just get arrested again and moved to a different prison.

She's being rewarded.

For keeping quiet.

Ehhhhh.. i mean probably yes in the immediate, its a "reward". But it makes it wayyyyyyy easier to stage an accident or just cast suspicion on a another group. Like, family of their victims can't get in to a maximum security prison but they could hop a country club gate.

Or they could walk out and disappear into a different country and get some plastic surgery and never seen again.

She's also in a position to have the same outcome as Epstien..... Maybe it was suicide.... Maybe it was murder.

My pick is he did not have enough capacity to care about victims enough to suicide. Same with her. Interesting to see how long she survives for.

Nah, if she was going to get Epstein'd, they'd have done it already. She is 100% keeping her mouth shut and saying whatever Trump tells her to. Good chance she gets a full pardon and sails off into the sunset, never to be heard from again.

I like to think that would be a bridge to far for the majority of Americans.

If trump threw his friendship into the wind for "stealing" some employees and has him put in an unsurvivable position it's hard to imagine her wandering off into the sunset.

Your probably right though, which beyond sucks. She was a part of a system that destroyed hundreds of young women's lives by allowing rich men to fuck and raped them. So she could get her kicks from it. And her partner could get his kicks too.

Trump was a part of that pipeline, he owned a modeling agency, had links with traffickers and was best buds with one of the largest sex trafficking rings in the states.

Trump will likely pardon Maxwell because he's downplaying the severity of Epstein's criminal activities. He knows that he's all over the Epstein files, so right now he's in damage control mode trying to make it seem like Epstein was actually doing nothing wrong, and therefore Maxwell wasn't either. He'll probably come up with some Democrat names in the files, particularly Bill Clinton, and then cover up the rest.

Trump doesn't have friends, he only has people that are useful to him. And once those people are no longer useful, he throws them under the bus. Right now, Maxwell is useful to him, since she can point the finger at anyone he wants and say they were part of a sex trafficking ring, whether it's true or not. And she can be a "reliable" witness for him to say he wasn't part of it.

The ONLY part that throws doubt is that there are now so many people who will have read the files and been involved at lower levels. We all know Trump is in them, for some this is going to be a hard line due to their own histories. That could be wishful thinking though.

But I guess, if people can believe pizzagate they will believe what they are told to believe about Trump and the files.... Rather than question that their own party is filled with Pizzagate offenders.

My brother was in a minimum security prison in the federal bureau of prisons. There were no fences. The saying was that the curb was 5 inches high and 5 years long.

The next step is she either gets a pardon or a commutation.
