Mark Steyn: The Plot Thickens
|
by Mark Steyn
~American government is corrupt. Stinkingly corrupt - on a scale unimaginable in, say, Norway. It remains an open question whether new leadership or even mass firings can overcome that.
The Jeffrey Epstein case is merely the most obvious example. On July 6th 2019, after giving him the kid-glove treatment for the previous decade-and-a-half, the feds chose to renege on their own sweetheart deal and arrest their chum when he landed at Teterboro (preferred New York airport of the non-rube class). Epstein was taken to New York's Metropolitan Correction Center, where the highest-value prisoner in America was put in a cell with an NYPD policeman awaiting trial for four murders.
A fortnight later, he was found on the floor with marks around his neck, and placed on "suicide watch", which required him to be checked on every thirty minutes. On August 9th, he was not checked every thirty minutes because the guard fell asleep. Fortunately, there was a second guard. Unfortunately, he also fell asleep. Fortunately, there was a camera. Unfortunately, it malfunctioned. Fortunately, there was a second camera. Unfortunately, that also malfunctioned...
So, a month after arrest by the FBI, the highest-value prisoner in America was dead.
My own legal tribulations in the District of Columbia are about to enter their fourteenth year. So I'll confess there are moments when I envy the unusually swift and efficacious disposition of United States vs Epstein.
Eventually, a trial was held. Of Jeffrey's girlfriend - a foreign socialite entirely unknown in the US except to former presidents, governors, senators and billionaires: see picture at top right of Ghislaine relaxing déshabillé with Democrat high-roller Laurene Powell, widow of Steve Jobs and owner of The Atlantic. Miss Maxwell was convicted of "sex trafficking" - including of a minor transported for the purpose of "criminal sexual activity". She was banged up for twenty years.
Gee, that must have been a lot of sex trafficking. Yet the United States Department of Justice remains totally uninterested in all the Americans "with great power and privilege" (as one witness put it) that Miss Maxwell was trafficking the girls to. Yeah, I was just working on my Presidential Library fundraising letter when, out of the blue, Ghislaine dropped a weekend's worth of fourteen-year-old jailbait on my doorstep... Could happen to anybody.
So the paedo mastermind is dead and the only two people to pay any price for their association with him are a couple of hoity-toity snot-nosed Brits - Miss Maxwell plus a son of the late Queen who made the mistake of giving an exclusive interview to the BBC that subsequently won that year's Emmy for Best Train-Wreck. It's almost like no Americans were involved in this thing at all...
And in the fullness of time a new administration took office and ordered the release of the "complete files related to Jeffrey Epstein". That happened yesterday: all - stand well back! - two hundred pages of documents.
