Poor Ghislaine Maxwell in prison for sex trafficking to nobody.
Umm.. she was convicted of sex trafficking of a minor to Epstein.
All public statements by victims made during trials identify Epstein as their abuser. Some identify Maxwell as an abuser, some identify others (like Trump or Andrew) as abusers.
But the evidence against Epstein abusing underage and of-age girls was clear, and the evidence against Maxwell trafficking for that purpose was as well. That is why Maxwell is in prison.
People thinking that those two would not have abused girls if not for rich clients, are stupid.
Evidence that these victims were abused by other people or "clients who paid" is what the feds repeatedly deny to exist. Even though MAGA claimed these lists exist. I don't know if they exist or not, but they are not the reason why Maxwell is in prison or why Epstein died.
Dude, seriously? This is the biggest whoosh I've seen one a good while. How the fuck did you not realise they were making a joke?
They were insinuating something false. A joke that plays into the hands of Conspiracy theorists is maybe not a good joke
You have a hard time spotting sarcasm, don’t you?
That's the premise for a lot of comedy
Tell that to Hisan Minhaj.
You’re having a bad day, huh? That sucks.
Maybe conspiracy theorists need more bait
What is false?
The thing that these kinds of comments always insinuate is "either Epstein pimped all these girls and young women to powerful clients who are on a client list, or otherwise no abuse happened at all!"
Yeah but it very clearly is a joke - and one meant to point out how absurd it is to say that no abuse happened at all. No?
Whoosh
