By the FBI.

Some good need for a change.

@gluteustothemaximus

So the judge who was handed the case just 4 days ago, her son has been murdered.

And the hit man who did it, apparently committed 'suicide'.

This shit is insane.

It certainly is. You could almost write the script.

I understand the judge in question was investigating Epstein's finances. The intent is obviously to scare any normal investigators away from this and any related cases. The judge's husband is critically ill too. The poor woman will be destroyed. The conspiracy theorists gain more and more credibility.

I give GM until Christmas. She's a surefire candidate for covid - "suicide" would be far too obvious - wouldn't it?.

gluteustothemaximus · 21/07/2020 10:02

I agree. Only a matter of time.

I just hope that somehow, someone gets to the truth of who is involved and they all face trial.

Back in the real world, that poor judge and her family Sad

How strange, why isn’t it top news about the shooting of the judges son and husband? I can only find it on a site you have to be a member of

BoreOfWhabylon · 21/07/2020 11:06

I found lots by googling "American judge shooting"

It seems he was a common or garden misogynist MRA

Thanks @BoreOfWhabylon!

SeaEagleFeather · 22/07/2020 12:59

I wonder if someone nudged him though. Coincidences do happen, but this seems rather convenient to certain people.

PerkingFaintly · 22/07/2020 13:14

That was my thought too, SeaEagleFeather.

He could well have been acting entirely without external direction. But it's also the case that the modus operandi of our internet-enabled times is to wind people up en masse and see what happens. You only need one to go off pop, preferably in a direction you've been nudging them, and Result!

Meanwhile the nudger's hands look clean.

I doubt she'll stay alive long enough to testify anyway.
The RF aren't going to let dear Andy be further implicated. Look what happened to Diana for far less.
Modern day "Off with their heads"

Maybe Trump will just pardon her ?

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jul/21/donald-trump-ghislaine-maxwell-i-wish-her-well

Donald Trump has bestowed his good wishes on Ghislaine Maxwell, who faces federal charges for allegedly enabling the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking of minor girls.

(contd).

deepwatersolo · 22/07/2020 19:57

Maybe Trump will just pardon her ?

If he indeed does pardon her, and I can see that happening, I sure look forward to the explanations of QAnon. 10th dimensional chess and all...

NewModelArmyMayhem18 · 22/07/2020 20:09

It's a bit gross though that we are all anticipating her death in such a detached manne Sad

NewModelArmyMayhem18 · 22/07/2020 20:10

there's an r on 'manne' clearly. I am not condoning what she's done but still not nice to anticipate her untimely death either.

YesIDoLoveCrisps · 22/07/2020 23:11

I don’t wish her dead at all but I wouldn’t be sad to hear of the death of any person involved in the trafficking and exploitation of young women and girls.

PerkingFaintly · 23/07/2020 08:06

I was furious at Jeffrey Epstein's death. Whether it was murder or suicide I'm angry either way, because someone got off the hook.

SeaEagleFeather · 23/07/2020 08:20

kinda got a point newmodel ... sorry.

Apart from it being a bit tasteless ... if nothing else, it confirms the extreme corruption

nancybotwinbloom · 23/07/2020 08:27

I can't see her seeing out 2020.

She will probably have a convenient accident or whatever or maybe COVID-19 before the year is out.

Cannot see her getting to court at all.

deepwatersolo · 23/07/2020 17:24

No, nancy, I also can‘t. And, yes, maybe my detachment regarding her potential impending death is gross, but then again, considering there are special rules for ‚the elites‘ in general, what can you expect from the common folk but detachment. I want her to survive so others can be prosecuted, but she is not exactly MLK or so...

DGRossetti · 23/07/2020 17:30

I want her to survive so others can be prosecuted,

Not if Trump starts dishing out blanket pardons. After all, no one can stop him.

AuntMasha · 23/07/2020 17:37

I want to see her in a court room too. I feel for those victims not getting closure, and I want them to see Justice served.

nancybotwinbloom · 23/07/2020 21:20

What does MLK stand for. I know as soon as someone says it I will be like "doh" obviously

nancybotwinbloom · 23/07/2020 21:22

What is a blanket pardon?

DGRossetti · 24/07/2020 10:12

@nancybotwinbloom

What is a blanket pardon?
Trump using the powers of the president to say: I pardon this person or persons of any any and all crimes they may have committed in the past.

Or indeed future.

He's already intervened for his mate Roger Stone, so has no problem with the principle.

Of course Ghislaine Maxwell might have a lot of dirt on Democrats instead. In which case Trump has every reason to ensure she stays alive, given how his campaign is tanking ( another cancelled convention in the news ...)

nancybotwinbloom · 24/07/2020 14:59

Thank you I have just read about him Shock

PerkingFaintly · 24/07/2020 15:21

Somehow I doubt it's dirt on Democrats instead.

Might be dirt on Democrats as well, but given the parties they were at together, there's no way Maxwell doesn't have personal dirt on the Orange One.

Whether people who like to vote for Trump care about that, it's harder to say. His diehard fans really won't be bothered by him having sex with trafficked minor girls. (Despite the fact that they'd be outraged if the Wrong Sort of Man did the same.)

They'd probably regard it as a badge of honour (insert vomit icon here).
