    Wasn’t she pivotal in the recruitment of minors?

    Deals are being made behind closed doors to obfuscate accountability. Let her rot.

        She participated in the abuse according to trial testimony.

        Testimony from the victims began on November 30 with “Jane,” who said that Maxwell sometimes joined in on the sexualized massages. “Kate” testified December 6 that Maxwell set up those sexual meetings. Carolyn testified the next day that Maxwell once touched her breasts, hips and butt and told her she “had a great body for Epstein and his friends.” She was 14 at the time, she said.

        Finally, Farmer testified that she was 16 years old when Maxwell massaged her naked chest at Epstein’s New Mexico ranch in 1996.

        Plaster this everywhere. If she gets a pardon, he is pardoning a child rapist.

            MAGA supports child rapists. Q Anon is hunting the pedos. Q wasn’t ready for such a target rich environment and vapor locked at the thought of being helpful to the people they hate. The Q nuts are basically the only thing stopping MAGA from making child rape allowed by a specific class of people. Depending on how the verdict for Maxwell it may signal Q supporters finally accepting their role in making child rape more common and legally allowed with fascists in power.

          That’s the thing with this though. She won’t get a pardon. He won’t pardon her. The supreme court will overturn her conviction so he won’t have to get his hands dirty.

      And grooming. Teen girls are going to accept grooming from an older glamorous woman mentor than some creepy old guy who is obviously trying to get in their pants.

      It sounds like she’s saying that regardless of how culpable she may have been, she should be covered by one of the sweetheart immunity deals that the feds made with Epstein.
