    Ahhh I see from the coverage I’ve heard on this it seemed that people were thinking her appeal was her last chance and if she did go to prison then there’s no chance she’d be allowed to live. That she’d be doing all this going after appeals and a presidential pardon with the “if you don’t give me this, I’m going to tell the world all I know” angle. I guess maybe she could have done that but they called her bluff and threatened her back and she decided living the rest of her life in a comfy prison was better than death? I dunno, correct me if there’s reason not to think that

      I think that may have been what Epstein himself tried back in 2019, with predictable results. Ghislaine’s been fully committed to Omertà, by contrast. She didn’t see Trump. She didn’t see Clinton. She didn’t see Gates. She didn’t see Noam Chomsky. She didn’t see anything.

      My money is that she’s just sending kissy-face letters to Trump and saying how sad she is, please do something for your old sexy friend.

        It helps to have seen what happened to Epstein first. (Likely by Trump.)
