We All Knew
2023-04-24
[PJMedia] Via Washington Examiner, January 24, 2020:

Cindy McCain, the widow of late Sen. John McCain, blasted authorities who were "afraid" to arrest convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein even though everyone "knew" what he was doing.

"Epstein was hiding in plain sight," said Cindy McCain. "We all knew about him. We all knew what he was doing, but we had no one that was — no legal aspect that would go after him. They were afraid of him. For whatever reason, they were afraid of him."
He had the goods on many, many people.
McCain’s comments came after she was questioned by an attendee during her appearance at the State of the World 2020 conference in Florida.

McCain said a girl from her daughter’s high school was one of Epstein’s victims and that she hopes Epstein "is in hell."

#10  she hopes Epstein "is in hell."

I'm not convinced.

#9  He probably assumed he was immune byt I guess he outlived his immunity

#8  Epstein chose to serve evil. He was convinced of his own value to their endeavors. He must have continued to believe that he had enough value to be rescued. It is also possible that he repented. It is conceivable that Epstein is still alive exploiting kids somewhere out of the public view. Most likely, though, Jefferey is dead, on a meat hook in torment. He possibly exchanged his eternal inheritance for some temporary jollies. Either he went out or will go out as the prodigal son or Faust.

#7  #3 He had the goods on many, many people.

In the end, it didn't do him much good, did it?

M. Murcek,

And this is what I still can't figure out. For all his twisted, perverted sociopathy, he was a smart dude...but he didn't seem to have a bolthole somewhere (Costa Rica would have welcomed him as long as he kept his head down, Dubai probably wouldn't have objected too loudly, there's a couple of Pacific islands he could have lived in quite comfortably, and none of those places have extradition treaties) and he didn't appear to have a dead man's switch.

Instead, he stayed where he could be reached by the Authorities, and ended up dangling from a light fixture in a cell.

Assuming, of course, he is dead. But that's another can of worms entirely.

#5  He had very, very powerful friends, some of whom were victims of his blackmail and some of whom were his business partners and clients, certainly Swamp Partners and that pesky office complex in Jerusalem.

#1  Epstein is dead, the island is scrubbed. All they need is to wrap up his girlfriend, once they figure out how to deactivate the deadman switch.
