https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8512103/Ghislaine-Maxwell-tapes-two-prominent-politicians-having-sex-minors.htmlGhislaine Maxwell 'has tapes of two prominent US politicians having sex with minors' and boasted of 'owning' powerful people, former friend and jewel thief claims
Snip
The ex-jewel robber, who used the pseudonym William Steel, said they 'forced' him to watch the footage as they wanted to convince him of their 'power'....
He added: 'I saw videos of very powerful people - celebrities, world figures - in those videos having sex, threesomes, even orgies with minors.'
The former friend also referred to two 'high-profile' American politicians who were in videos with minors.

(53,776 posts)now after over a year following Epstein's death to get this Maxwell woman in custody and under his control. It's been reported that her and her attorney have been in contact with authorities since Epstein was jailed so why the hurry now?
It's dawned on them that trump is gonna lose and they won't be in charge in the WH or the DOJ which controls the SDNY. They have to get her out of the way fast or it will come out that rump has participated in who knows what depravity in Epstein's parties.
And if he just happens to win, they still want this matter taken care of.

BComplex
(8,049 posts)The SDNY had a whole lot of dirt that never could come out. Epstein was mostly into girls, but he trafficked to those who were also into boys.
For some inexplicable reason, they find it more horrific if people do little boys than if they do little girls.

Remember how former Sen. David Vitter was outed as a poopy Pampers wearer during sex?

So its no surprise that AG Barrs dad intel background hired Jeffrey Epstein to teach at elite NYC prep school.

(18,486 posts)First, people who have this kind of evidence usually don't go around showing it to random people. And second, if they do, they didn't just happen to show it to one person. Other people have seen it and, if that's the case, it's hard to keep these things a secret. And showing them around substantially reduces the value of them as blackmail tools.
They also don't show their hands to "jewel thieves" with big mouths.
I just don't think Maxwell is that reckless and indiscreet. She is likely much more careful than this.
But I could be wrong. We'll see.
Major Nikon
(36,827 posts)In other words a career criminal. Sounds a lot like bullshit. Just because lots of people desperately want things like this to be true, doesn't mean they are true.
All stories like this do is feed red meat to conspiracy theory idiots like Q Anon who will then fill in the blanks with even more bullshit.
Everyone should be skeptical of anything the Daily Mail prints. They are one notch above the National Enquirer, if that.

Republicans have been pedophiles for generations. We knew GHW Bush had little boys...ORPHANS.. at some of their parties to pass around.
There may be a few right wing democrats involved, but for the most part, it's part of the republican party to do kids. Boys AND girls; not just girls, like the Epstein videos showcase.

(8,049 posts)That's why the entire republican party will not convict trump of anything, and why Putin has trump where he wants him: it's not just about money. It's about showing films of these guys with children. About showing these "powerful" people raping children. That's what bullies get off on.

SHE WAS SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY: POWERFUL MEN, DISTURBING NEW DETAILS IN UNSEALED JEFFREY EPSTEIN DOCUMENTS
https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2019/08/new-details-in-unsealed-jeffrey-epstein-documents
I'm not saying there isn't something explosive coming we don't know about--I'm just going by the unsealed Epstein documents. Some international politicians have also been named. Names are out there, you just have to dig a little bit.
But naturally I hope there's something more than has come to light that can really help us and shake up November 2020.
I'm worried about the Maxwell claim, because it is consistent with what has been released in the Epstein document dump last year. In other words, if these videos exist, I don't think it's the people we'd like it to be. That being the case, I actually hope that the tapes do not exist, and if you read the article above, you'll see why.
EDIT: And P.S., I am NOT talking about Bill Clinton. I've read everything in that dump and from what I can discern he never engaged in these activities. He did fly on the plane, but it was to travel somewhere. (My opinion, but based on reading a lot of documents.)

(47,552 posts)The fucking of children happened. Tapes may exist.
But there's absolutely no reason to believe anything the guy in the article claims.
Former friend.
Ex-jewel thief. (Who cares?)
Fake name.
Forced by his friend to watch child rape videos. (Helluva way to treat your friends.)
That's a ton of shit I'm just supposed to take on faith.
