This is a public corruption case as much as a sex case. . It seems like there were more people debriefed than briefed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deranged Rhino Posted July 7, 2019 Author Share Posted July 7, 2019 (edited) 2 hours ago, Buffalo_Gal said: The judge found the rights of the victims were impacted due to the light sentence. The question is why was there such a light sentence? My question is why is Alexander Acosta still head of Labor? Unless this doesn't lead to him? That Techno_fog thread @Deranged Rhino linked to above is very interesting. (Techno_fog has something about Cyrus Vance Jr giving a sweetheart deal as DA but he wasn't sworn in until 2010, so I am not sure how that ties together). The head of the DOJ in 2007 was Alberto Gonzales and Michael Mukasey. In 2008 Mukasey was head of the DOJ that was "supervising" this case. So, who are they after? There's a lot of chatter (unsubstantiated) that Acosta was forced to comply due to either direct threats or blackmail. If it's the latter, then it's likely the provider of that blackmail is Epstein himself (his operation was a blackmail operation first and foremost). Acosta, per these rumors, is in the administration for protection. Not sure I buy that personally. I think it's more likely that Trump was forced (by the nature of politics/the swamp/being an outsider) to accept a number of compromised people within his administration (think McMaster, Tillerson, Preibus, Manafort et al) but he isn't afraid to clean them up with the rest.

And as far as the GOPe President Trump was "forced" or "needed" to have as part of his administration, I agree. Whether it was via coercion, due to who could pass the confirmation hearings, who had some inkling on how things could possibly get done when dealing with the swap, yes, I am certain a lot of his administration was compromise candidates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't deny that German culture had somewhat of a role, which doesn't translate too well outside its borders. People can ***** on American exceptionalism all they want, but there isn't a country in the world (Britain comes in a close second) who raises people that can properly manage global enterprises. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was the 15 year-old-daughter of a Vatican bank employee whose family lived inside Vatican City. Orlandi was last seen at a bus stop in central Rome after leaving a flute lesson on June 22, 1983. [...] [M]any of the rumors involve the Vatican itself: [...] that she was kidnapped as part of a sex slavery ring inside the Vatican. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
