The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

2019 was the second time Epstein was charged with sex trafficking. On the first go around, he "negotiated" a scandalously light sentence. Having already been an experienced jailbird, and sentence "negotiator", it doesn't scan that he could have been so despondent that he would off himself. So. the theory goes, he would barter evidence to Trump, for another scandalously light sentence. But, the FSB wanted to keep the leverage over Trump. The FSB did not want the evidence bartered to save Epstein's skin, so they greased Epstein, to prevent him handing the evidence over to Trump. Maxwell took the lesson, and kept her piehole shut. Then Trump was out of office, and she lost what leverage she had.

Wow. Just....wow. I guess I underestimated the degree to which this argument was motivated by some wild conspiracy theory stuff...
