      Edit: Since I can't reply to you due to that stupid timeout... You're doing it again, @suspended. You're "Just Asking Questions" which shifts the burden of proof from you, who is the one making the unfounded allegations, onto others who you're forcing to defend against them. If you want to claim Clinton or Trump was involved in sex trafficking with Epstein, why don't you provide the proof there is any credibility to the claims instead of waving your own hands at the NYT reporting that says otherwise.

      p.s. I removed the JAQ off part, since it was a bit mean. I'm in a foul mood, sorry everyone, including @suspended. I'm gonna take a few weeks break from Tildes to get my head right, I think. :/

        So the NYT debunking the claim amounts to them asking Clinton's spokesman and he said nah? And then this: Four, twenty-six, who's counting.

        So the NYT debunking the claim amounts to them asking Clinton's spokesman and he said nah?

        And then this:

        In his statement on Monday, Mr. Clinton’s spokesman, Angel Ureña, said that Mr. Clinton took “four trips” on Mr. Epstein’s plane between 2002 and 2003 — one each to Europe and Asia, and two to Africa.

        [...]

        Flight records published by Gawker in 2015 suggested that Mr. Clinton took at least a dozen separate flights on Mr. Epstein’s plane. A year later, Fox News reported that flight records showed President Clinton had flown at least 26 times on Mr. Epstein’s plane.

        Four, twenty-six, who's counting.

      Presumably she is aware of all the high profile visitors, and will be highly motivated to rat them out to reduce her sentence. The FBI will be eager to ask her about high profile people such as Prince Andrew. I don't think they ever seriously pursued Clinton or Trump.

      It's normal for people facing these sorts of charges to try to commit suicide. I would expect the jail would put her on close suicide watch, if not, there are likely to be some hard questions that will be asked.

          The suicide rate (after apprehension) of male child sex offenders who engaged exclusively in sex (as distinct from those who performed multiple types of crimes and those who were violent to children), is reported to be 183 times higher than that of members of the general population 15.

          Jail guards are underpaid and overworked

          Just because you have difficulty believing something, doesn't make it not so.

    Where was she picked up? The article doesn't seem to mention anything about it.

      Earlier today police hadn't said anything officially, but several different media outlets were saying New Hampshire.
