Fake news! I bet she has a signed NDA!
Speaking of which, for me, what is a strange appeal court decision.

Quote:
A New York State appellate judge has ruled publisher Simon & Schuster can proceed with publishing a tell-all book about President Donald Trump written by Mary Trump.

Justice Alan D. Scheinkman said the injunction against the book's publication stems from a non-disclosure agreement signed between the members of the Trump family barring them from writing about one another, and while Mary is free to sign away her First Amendment rights, Simon & Schuster made no such agreement.
No objections from me against this ruling.

Of course.

LOL!

Fox News said on Monday that it "mistakenly" cropped President Trump out of a photograph that featured the accused sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and his alleged accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.

"On Sunday, July 5, a report on Ghislaine Maxwell during Fox News Channel's 'America's News HQ' mistakenly eliminated President Donald Trump from a photo alongside then Melania Knauss, Jeffrey Epstein and Maxwell," a spokesperson for the network said.

Re: Jeffrey Epstein found dead in Manhattan’s Metropolitan Correctional Center

Quote:
Deutsche Bank has agreed to pay $150 million to settle charges that it didn’t do enough to monitor suspicious financial activity by deceased financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, on top of other failures related to dirty money.

New York’s top financial regulator said Tuesday the German bank, which for years has faced regulatory scrutiny and punishment over violations of anti-money laundering protocols, “failed to properly monitor account activity” conducted on Epstein’s behalf.

Now we are waiting on the US Supreme Court to rule if Deutsche Bank must turn over details of their dealings with Trump.

Does that mean she'll be the next one ending up "committing suicide"?

Re: Jeffrey Epstein found dead in Manhattan’s Metropolitan Correctional Center

So this just happened to Federal Judge who was assigned to the Deutsch Bank / Epstein case.


The son of a federal judge in Newark, New Jersey, has been shot and killed, and her husband shot and injured in an attack at the family's home, according to law enforcement sources.

The judge, Esther Salas, was not hurt
.
The judge's son opened the door to the family's North Brunswick home at about 5 p.m. Sunday and was immediately shot, sources said.

"He was shot through the heart," Womack said.


https://news.yahoo.com/federal-judge...es.html?bcmt=1

5 p.m, Fedex delivery guy, son dead, husband injured, judge unharmed.
Sounds like a professional warning.

Or an attempt to slowdown/delay that case, the replacement judge will need time to get up to speed.

Depends on the quality of the tin and the price of course. You had problems playing connect the dots as a kid am I right? Anyways your nutter lawyer/scapegoat is dead. I can already draw you the next three dots as this is becoming more predictable than the Hollywood version that will come out soon. EF is the ONLY place where I can find people who believes Eptstein is the most talented suicider of all time. He's the G.O.A.T.
Some of the accused do live here......so there's that..........


Meanwhile, for the rest of us, this is already the most exciting /important criminal investihations of all time. Watching the elite go down is going to be sweet. I got the extra popcorn and butter ready. Although I do expect them to kill enough people to eventually get away with most of it. It will be interesting to see who will be the sacrificial lamb so the others may escape. I got $10 on Prince Andrew, the Clintons will walk.

What does that have to do with what Jeffrey Epstein did? There were a lot of people who went to his island who had no idea of what kind of person he really was.

Horny and unhappy in his marriage?

I don't think that necessarily means that he was luring young women in to give him sensual massages, though... or part of Epstein's "thing."

Donald Trump and Bill Gates had also flown to his island. Somehow it's hard for me to imagine Bill Gates being into that sort of thing... though certainly not hard for me to imagine Trump being into it.

Read it here.

Quick search of Clinton's name finds that Maxwell won't sing about him, so either there's nothing there, or she's making sure she doesn't "commit suicide".

Unsurprising. I've worked with directors of multinationals. Some are wonderfully decent, smart, hard working individuals. Others feel that law only applies to little people, and that the way to win the rat race is to out-rat everyone else. (Apologies to rats).

Who else could afford to pay gazillions for sexual encounters? That's a very strong and effective filter.
But it feels good to point the finger and get all outraged about "them".

That's a pretty much universal position, most people have no trouble with breaking laws under the right circumstances. Just take road traffic, everybody in the greater Zürich area drives too fast on the Autobahn during rush hour.



Many a reader's immediate reaction to the above will be that the comparison is outrageous, that the two simply don't compare. I don't say that. Nonetheless the reaction immediately confirm my point: "it's not the same if I do the deed, it's only bad if the others do it".
