Something has always bothered me about her. Not the fact that she was probably witness and participated in the rape and abuse of the girls.
But how she got into the picture.
Not to mention, she had her own environmental non-profit (clearly a front) that took all sorts of money for international waters (you know, the implication).
Her father was found dead "having fell off his yacht." Then his businesses collapsed, ultimatelty it was discovered he embezzled hundreds of millions of pounds($$).
But more importantly, is that he was suspected to be a triple agent tied to the U.S., Israel, and by none other than Russia. Which, is awfully strange considering Trump's ties to Russia, and the US ties with Israel.
She, herself, grew up amongst incredible wealth. Why would she need to be the recruiter for Epstein? Why would she be madly in love with him, or be his assistant? Apparently she was one to have "organized his life."
When her father died, she was left with an £80k/yr income and lived in New York City and was pretty much just a socialite. In 1991, £80k/yr still wasn't that impressive for NYC. Her father had also introduced Maxwell to Epstein. She would have been in her 20s. Then they "broke up." But remained extremely close.
Russia, Israel, US. Trump, Maxwell, Epstein. The wealthiest and most powerful knew her and despite her lost wealth, kept her around. Why would they do that?
Easy - she had the ability to coerce girls into being raped. She probably plays a huge part in this, and if I had to guess, Trump and friends want her free because of what she can do for them. They would have killed her already if she had less value.
Well that's all pretty fucking grim isn't it
My therapist calls it anxiety or catastrophic thinking.
I call it pattern recognition, annoyingly powerful imagination, and limited prescience.
You can leave out the "probably". She's a convicted felon. She's not in prison because she was Epstein's romantic partner. She was accused by raped girls and found guilty by the court. That's why she's serving 20 years. She's just lucky she's a woman because otherwise this whole affair would be called "Epstein / Maxwell" but it's like when a hot female teacher commits statutory rape and everyone calls it "had sex with one of her students".
I don't think any of the accused said she participated or was present during the rape.
Besides, she got the harsher sentencing of trafficking anyway, which covers it.
Okay, maybe I misremembered since the trial was some years ago.
Anyhow, just to make it clear, I think her original sentence and the trial were fair. I was just going on a rant about current reporting on her. Which helps the current admin spin the story on her. Let's see who believes it...
Jordies' video essay even suggests it was jizzlane who got epstein into the honeypot trade, not the other way around.
