Led astray, yes….. but what can you do when a marriage-destroying temptress wearing a Dora the Explorer backpack comes on you?

Well....from what we've seen from these folks, get your mouthpieces in the press to take the position that "really, girls with Dora backpacks are pretty much women," and having their friends in various state legislatures introduce legislation to lower the age of consent.

It's fucking fascinating.  The whole movement went from "PEDOPHILIA IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE EVER!" to "well, really, when you think about it, all girls are women because they are born with vaginas and ovaries, so there's no such thing as 'minors' when females are concerned."

But they all know it won’t be released - it’s now an active investigation again, which is why it wasn’t released before.

A whistleblower who came forward to House Democrats alleging convicted sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell received preferential treatment at a federal prison camp in Texas says she was not motivated by politics.

Instead, “this was about common human decency and doing what’s right for all inmates,” Noella Turnage, a nurse who worked at Federal Prison Camp Bryan since 2019 until she was fired last week, told NBC News on Monday.

She added that when even one inmate is wrongly retaliated against, “and influence gets another one protected, somebody had to say something.”


Maxwell’s time at FPC Bryan, an all-women’s minimum-security facility, has come under scrutiny since her transfer there in early August from a low-security prison in Tallahassee, Florida. Her relationship with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has become a focal point as Democrats and some Republicans renew their push to compel the Justice Department to make all investigative files surrounding Epstein’s case public.

Turnage said she was not driven by public outrage surrounding Epstein, Maxwell or any other public figures, but acted because she felt “failed by the institution” when colleagues and others have spoken out about alleged leadership misconduct and retaliation.


She said the federal Bureau of Prisons fired her on Nov. 10. The decision came a day after the top Democrat on the committee, Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, wrote a letter to President Donald Trump saying they had received information from a “whistleblower” indicating Maxwell was working on filing a “commutation application” and receiving special treatment not typically afforded to inmates at Bryan. The information obtained by the House Judiciary Committee included email correspondence that Maxwell sent during her first few months at the prison camp.

Leah Saffian, an attorney for Maxwell, said Friday that employees at FPC Bryan lost their jobs in light of Maxwell’s emails being shared.

There have been employees “terminated for improper, unauthorized access to the email system used by the Federal Bureau of Prisons to allow inmates to communicate with the outside world,” Saffian said in a statement.

NBC News previously reviewed Maxwell’s emails which indicated she was “happier” with her move to a facility that was cleaner and where staff were friendly.

Maxwell’s emails also suggested she had direct access to Bryan’s warden, Tanisha Hall, for help, including arranging visits and communicating with her lawyers — actions that are highly unusual, other attorneys with clients at the prison say.

In case anyone missed it, Amanpour was on The Daily Show this past Monday and had a really interesting conversation with Stewart about the state of journalism as it relates to the Epstein Files.

By my recollection, there's very little (if any) partisanship in the conversation. Instead, it's more about the power of journalism to uncover the truth, in general, and inform the public, specifically about who the brazen assholes are who were involved in the Epstein affair and think they're untouchable.

20 minutes. Good discussion.

Where the fuck was that a year ago? 

That's what we've all been wondering, and it's part of the discussion. She's gets a little defensive about the actual journalists doing investigative work but agrees they're not getting the resources from their corporate overlords that they need. Of course, we should all recognize that those who are consolidating media ownership are tied at the hip to other powerbrokers and this regime. Basically, there's a whole class of individuals, regardless of party, who all think they're above the law and can operate with impunity. It's nothing we don't already know, but a good discussion nonetheless.
