Also notice what is not being discussed relentlessly

by the pundits. They are not talking much about the felony convictions, the judgements against him for defaming EJC or the conviction obtained by the NY AG against him and his businesses. It's all about Joe is too old and the Orange Ruski is rising to saintliness because a kid nicked him in the ear.

It's as if after his arrest Manson had run for public office and the media just put any discussion about the murders off for another time. If Peter Baker had been writing for the NYT during that period he would probably have described the murders as "problems" for Manson while writing column after column of vitriol about how Vincent Bugliosi was a completely flawed person who should step down and because he couldn't win.

and the fact that he made nice statements about Maxwell. What is not asked anywhere by the media, and for what I can see by the investigators also, is they had witnesses who testified about the young and "too young" girls getting on the plane and flying to Epstein Island but did they all come back on the same flight? Or did some of these girls "leave" on another plane with some man/men? In other words sold/trafficked while the Orange Ruski was there. Also never asked is whether the Orange Ruski introduced other men to Epstein. In other words bringing Epstein "customers" who would pay.

how we got screwed by them time and again from the '50's up through into the '80's. The backstabbers are all around at all times. Sometimes they hide the knife better than others. There's a reason the people who speak truth to power aren't invited on TV or given written word exposure. The most that will happen is they will be spoken about not spoken to. The things spoken about them by the media will not be truth nor will it be supportive.
