Was Ghislaine Maxwell given immunity in Epstein's original plea deal ?
2019-08-16
[HIVE] Is it possible prosecutors have lost track of Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged co-conspirator in his pedophile ring? For the past few weeks, rumors have circulated that she’s 400 pounds and living in Florida, or that she’s living the high life in London or the Continent, but according to the Washington Post, authorities are having a hard time locating her. Those who know her say that it’s possible she is as much of a Houdini as Epstein. Both of them liked having secrets, and the way those secrets kept people off balance. "Jeffrey always wanted to give the impression that he was an international man of mystery‐’I control everyone and everything, I collect people, I own people, I can damage people,’" says an ex-girlfriend.
I tell ya, we've looked everywhere !
As part of Epstein’s original plea deal, negotiated with Alexander Acosta, the others implicated were also given immunity from prosecution, which is partly why victims like Virginia Roberts Giuffre pursued her and others in civil courts. But Epstein’s death has not stopped the current investigation. "We remain committed to standing for you," Geoffrey Berman, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, wrote in a statement after Epstein’s death, "and our investigation of the conduct charged in the Indictment‐which included a conspiracy count‐remains ongoing." There were rumors on Monday afternoon that indictments of five people were imminent.

#6  ^^^^ Well, the proper response is obvious then. Time for the sheep to become wolves and pick the elite off one at a time.

#5  Joke's on us.
We are sheep. We're told that if the wolves pick off a few sheep, and spare the many, we should accept it. And like it.

#3  Massachusetts: Testimony on Boston Bomber’s Sister-In-Law

“A lot more people are killed every day in Syria plus other places.” Prosecutors presented evidence earlier that the bombs were made in the Cambridge, Mass., apartment where Ms. Russell lived with Tamerlan, who was killed in a gun battle with the police, but she has not been identified as a witness for the government or the defense. She did not testify before the grand jury regarding the bombings; her lawyer has said she will not do so without immunity.

She didn't need "immunity" if she ....already had it. How long does one have to stumble over fireworks and pressure cookers in a tiny apartment until something unlawful is suspected. Current location and contact info, unavailable.

#2  Appears to be something of a pattern developing:

Cheryl Mills got immunity in Clinton probe, congressman says.

#1  Immunity is given out like Halloween candy when it suits the powers that be.
