😜 OK MAGA I brought some 🍿 to watch the mental gymnastics justifying her release.

And the gop goes wild. Finally the human trafficking can continue.

"...explained that releasing grand jury materials from Maxwell’s case “would create undue prejudice so severe that it would foreclose the possibility of a fair retrial”

There it is. The excuse to redact/withhold whatever they want as ransom to keep her in prison

Ah, see, you think you heard that MAGA was going to “release the Epstein files” but what they actually said was “we’re going to release the Epstein pedophiles.” Yeah, they’re letting everyone involved with him off the hook.

The Epstein 'philes

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 4 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I can see this as an actual tactic. It means that do-gooders have to handle each and every one of the released, or be forced to focus on just one.

Considering the nature of MAGA, unleashing violent criminals upon the innocent remains in character. 😞

Wait, where are the do-gooders?

This is gross.

There’s no way she should get released. What she did is beyond atrocious.

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 21 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Her half way house address is

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, D.C. 20500, United States.

Well she trafficked underage girls who were sexually abused by rich men as part of a Mossad honeypot. Not like she did anything wrong.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Only an anti-Semite would believe otherwise.

[–] deHaga@feddit.uk 18 points 18 hours ago

Her father was a triple agent for the UK, Russia and Israel, I'm sure he'd be very proud, had he not 'fell' off his boat when he stopped being useful

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 66 points 1 day ago (4 children)

The letter further cautioned against releasing documents related to Maxwell’s case, as they may “contain untested and unproven allegations”.

It explained that releasing grand jury materials from Maxwell’s case “would create undue prejudice so severe that it would foreclose the possibility of a fair retrial”, should her petition to be released succeed.

Oh, I get it. Just another ploy to keep the Epstein files hidden?

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

We've got emails between him and dozens of billionaires. Larry Summers chat logs where he's asking for advice while cheating on his wife. My Brother in Christ we have his Quora search history.

How many more files do you feel like you need to see? Nobody else is going to jail for this shit.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 0 points 4 hours ago

ALL THE FILES

[–] Taldan@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

You can really tell who they want in jail and who they don't when you compare it to Luigi Mangioni's case. They were happy to release all sorts of documents and publicly state he is guilty (despite being presumed innocent in the eyes of the law)

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago

Exactly. Plus, this all feels SO coordinated. Trump team had a private conversation with her. Then she gets moved to a comfortable prison. Trump approves the release of the documents, but what do you know? She is now appealing for her release and thinks the documents shouldn’t be released.

There’s 100% shit in there Trump doesn’t want public.

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 22 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Lmfao I didn't know "my client needs to avoid all consequences so the truth doesn't get out" was a valid legal defense.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 6 points 17 hours ago

After she was found guilty! Maybe before, but definitely not after.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 8 points 19 hours ago

My client does not wish for this information to be released because this information is incriminating.

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 13 points 19 hours ago

Disgusting fucking perverts.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 21 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

It will be interesting to watch all the sAvEtHeChIldReN qtards trying to spin this if Taco were to release this child molester.

While they are doing that, I sure hope some people take it upon themselves to ask these idiots when "The Storm" is supposedly coming? And how does freeing Ghislaine the child molester figure into this supposed "Storm", LOL?

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 17 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

The current MAGA position seems to be that they weren't children, they were just very very very young adults...

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 7 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

And of course trafficking adults for the purposes of sexual exploitation is fine

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 4 points 18 hours ago

I'm reminded of Jon Ronson's observation in "So You've Been Publicly Shamed", that the religious right are surprisingly tolerant of sexual misconduct scandals in a way that progressives aren't.

The most depressing part is that she'll get her release. She'll find a way to bribe Trump, and he'll give her a presidential pardon because he's a whore. Then she'll go back to what she was doing before and business will continue like usual for them because everybody will move on from it just like they did with the Panama papers before it and the Snowden leaking the NSA's mass surveillance even further back. Accountability and justice are dead in this timeline.

"Quiet" pardon incoming.

"Quiet" in that the media, most especially Fox News, will not report it at all.

[–] Zier@fedia.io 7 points 21 hours ago

He will pardon her, and commute her sentence. He just pardoned a massive, evil drug lord.
