Buried in a habeas petition that Maxwell recently filed in court, hoping to void her conviction, the convicted associate of Jeffrey Epstein references four potential “co-conspirators” and “25 men” who allegedly reached “secret settlements” connected to Epstein’s abuse—and were never indicted

    A rule of journalism: When a news headline includes words like blasts, blisters, bombshell, burns, claps back, drags, epic self-own, explodes, freaks out, goes nuclear, goes viral, humbles, humiliates, melts down, mind-blowing, rages, rips, roasts, shocking, skewers, slams, staggers, stuns, trends online, or trolls, find a better source. The only exception is when the word is used literally, i.e., a bombshell *actually explodes.

    Now I’ll add ‘grenade’ to the list.

    How much do you want to bet that every single person named is a political enemy of Trump, and she kept her mouth shut about everybody else?

      I’d bet theres a couple ‘allies’ that he just wants more leverage over mixed in.

        He has the leverage. He was collecting it when he ran his underage sex trafficking ring.

        Because Trump ran Trump Model Management years before Epstein came in with MC2.

        All because Trump’s other best friend and sex trafficker John Casablancas was forced out of Elite Models due to a BBC investigation that uncovered rampant sex crimes, but because the BBC played fast and loose, the entire thing was mostly ignored.

        Casablancas eventually had to flee the country, and went to a Trump property in Brazil where he lived out the last years of his life tricking young women into signing on to Trump Model Management so that they could be sex trafficked on fake visas.

      My thoughts exactly. There are probably hundreds of people who could be named and these are selected for one reason or another.
