While it’s gratifying to see this woman get her comeuppance, it’s not as if justice has been done—not in the major scheme of things. It remains to be seen whether anything more will come of this, or whether Maxwell—in fear of Arkancide—will keep her mouth shut. After all, if Bluto Barr couldn’t see his way to ensuring Epstein’s survival of pre-trial detention, what chance will Maxwell have under the Zhou regime?
No doubt there will be more commentary, but for my money Jonathan Turley gets this right. Visit his Twitter thread for more of his comments, but these tweets are very much on the money:
Bear in mind, this MO has been in play ever since the criminal justice system attempted to deal with Epstein. This has been a bi-partisan cover up from the get go. For the course of justice to be so perverted—in the direct sight of the public and at this high a level—surely tells us all we need to know about what’s being withheld from public view.
The Ghislaine Maxwell Conviction
Bitter laughter over this farce. We're worse than a banana republic at this point as the inhabitants of countries ruled by the generalissimo at least *know* the sham under which they live. Here in the good ol USA way too many of us still live under the illusion that laws exist, that elections are real, that a criminal justice system exists, that the federal government is anything other than a criminal cartel etc... Every time we express surprise or outrage about any of these headlines only serves to show that we still don't understand the nature of the servitude under which we live. The only genuine shock should be that anything works or any of us are not yet rounded up.
Two areas beautifully covered up:
1. John’s, besides a bit of sliming of Trump.
2. Intel agency (us and/ or Israeli) involvement / blackmail angles.
