#1 The source also added, "If the US government was really interested in bringing in Ghislaine, the IRS would have looked at her tax returns and the income...

No US Gov't interest, or interest by any other "government" for that matter.

#2 ...I'm sure any and all available IRS personnel are too busy going over the Orange Man's since 2016 and before.

#3 Why Israel? I guess she and Epstein were with Mossad all along.

#4 Annina:
Monsieur Rick, what kind of a man is Captain Renault?

Rick:
Oh, he's just like any other man, only more so.

#5 Many who used the services breathed a sigh of relief when Epstein took the deep sleep. Likely, they would be relieved if Maxwell followed suit. I'd think the feds already have a great deal of info about this high-rolling pimping-blackmail operation. if they want to use it.

#6 #3 - Reflexively Joo hatin' Herb, read again:
"The source added of Ghislaine, who has homes in Manhattan and London, "She is not in the US, she moves around. She is sometimes in the UK, but most often in other countries, such as Israel, where her powerful contacts have provided her with safe houses and protection.""

But our troll instantly picks up the Juice Scent

#7 Why the UK? I guess they were British assets all along.

Why other countries? I guess they were assets of those countries all along.

#9 Wonder if she watched the videotapes with Epstein. Where are those, anyway?

#10 COSTCO doesn't care who buys. It's only concern is that you 'buy.'

COSTCO's secret weapon.

I don't recall hearing of any wealthy Russians visiting Little Saint James Island. Perhaps they were not welcome, or simply knew enough to stay away ?

#11 ^Or Epstein didn't like Polonium tea?

#12 The Russians are too smart to fall for a kompromat scheme like Epstein's. Theyre pretty good at detecting film-flam men i.e. people like him who have huge amounts of money that can't be connected to any real source.

The Russians would have been immune to his Gatsbyesque parties - they don't need the money and they have their own yachts and caviar and girls - and would have laughed at his ridiculous Harvard/Stephen Hawkins intello virtue-signaling BS. They probably pegged him for a perv from the get go.

#13 Ref #12: The Russians are too smart to fall for a kompromat scheme like Epstein's.

My take as well. Yes, very smart. They invented "Kompromat schemes."

#14 Whose assets were they?

We know that Clinton and Epstein were close. We also know the likes of Clinton, Obama, Clapper, Brennan and Comey are totally without scruples. I mean, if they're bad enough to participate in an attempted coup against a duly elected United States President, they're pretty bad. The list of suspects is long. And they could have been independent operators, selling bits of kompromat to the highest bidder, or bidders, whoever they were. My own personal guess is that Bill Clinton would know better than anyone else but he'll never tell.

#15 My guess is while they may have started as assets for Israel (it is a fit given her father's linkages in the arms trade/intelligence periphery) they moved into a number of realms both for profit and as assets for mutually beneficial relationships. No matter where she is cloistered, poor outcomes seem inevitable. Undoubtedly she has some forms of insurance, but whatever they are, they will be voided and then she goes into the memory hole somewhere....

#16 On top of it all she's hiding from the Clintons?

Not likely as I'm sure she has backup videos of the Clintons buggering little girls.

Both the Clinton mind you.
