Did the defendant ever ride in " A helicopter *flown* by Ghislaine Maxwell ?" ?!?!?[ Ghislaine Maxwell had a Helicopter pilots license ?!?] Or was the question " [ Did ] the defendant ever ride in a plane * chartered* ie paid for, by Ghislaine Maxwell ?

Fun fact - I spotted Ghislaine Maxwell at a watering hole in Concord, MA, one summer day. An actual watering hole, not a bar. She was completely alone, and looked completely miserable. This was during her legal injunction, so I'm mystified as to how some one

* accused * of the multiple felony counts that she was, just happens to be sunning herself at Walden pond.

It was her. Her face was all over the news. I felt really confused, because I thought she was in police custody or had an ankle monitor during the duration of her trial. Also, I thought that her legal case was being tried in either NYC or DC, not Boston.

Epstein was running an extortion ring based on recording his targets having sex with underage girls (there’s testimony of having cameras in all rooms on the compound on the island.) He would show them the kompromat and tell them how much they had to pay. Epstein was a “financier,” which is code for “nobody knows where his money comes from.” The sex was probably just icing on the cake.

For years there’s been this rumor about Epstein working for the Israelis and his operation being a Mossad honey-pot outfit, which changes the equation from extortion for money to extortion as means to obtaining intelligence. That seems to be surfacing again. I wouldn’t doubt it. It’s something the Israelis certainly have done in the past.

Regardless, this is a mess and what we know barely scratches the surface. Incidentally, if it’s true, it makes it more plausible that Epstein would commit suicide because the alternative would have been horrific for him. Better off yourself than go through what Mossad would do to you.

To the tune of “Marrakesh Express”:

Looking at the world through the sunscreen in his eyes

Placing hands upon Ivanka’s teen-aged thighs

Dictators and MAGAts call

Legal cases, try to stall

Election results that he will call untrue

Lying to his cultists who are deaf and blind

Tried to hide away what DOJ might find

Just like dear old daddy Fred

Bring two whores to pee in bed

Wonder what Putin has got on you

Don’t you know Trump’s riding on Jeff’s Pedophile Express?

Don’t you know Trump’s riding on Jeff’s Lolita Express?

He left the Oval in a mess

Trump’s aboard Jeff’s plane, Trump’s aboard Jeff’s plane

He's been grifting all your money just to take him there

Over-combs his bald spot with his hair

Take Jeff’s plane from Mar-a-Lago going south

Spewing bullshit from the corners of his mouth his mouth, his mouth

ALL-CAPS RANTS hang in the air

Charming Nazis in his lair

Long red neckties he can wear at home

Let’s read about it now

Don’t you know Trump’s riding on Jeff’s Pedophile Express?

Don’t you know Trump’s riding on Jeff’s Lolita Express?

He wants to crucify the Press

Don’t you know Trump's riding on Jeff’s Pedophile Express?

Don’t you know Trump's riding on Jeff’s Lolita Express?

It's about time that he confess

Trump’s on board Jeff’s plane

Trump’s on board Jeff’s plane

Trump’s on board

Who would have thought the anti-vax conspiracy nut with a history of concussions was wrong about something?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and speculate that: It is highly unlikely that any of those very well-educated men who flew on the Lolita Express and claimed they didn't know about his "proclivities" didn't know what Lolita means.

Is there something about having too much money that turns people into despicable a**holes? I'm sure it won't happen to me, though. Dying to find out.

Because who doesn’t sneak into private houses for massages from little girls, amirite? BTW, today, no shit, Dersh is suggesting that nobody can criticize his “conduct” unless they also criticize Hamas.
