The other protocols put in place for Maxwell’s confinement include ensuring that she has a roommate in her cell, that she is monitored and that someone is always with her while she’s behind bars, the official said.

“Hey you! The one with the hacking cough, yeah, you. Meet your new cellie.”

Like Trump saying “I have full confidence in X” means that X is about to get canned, so too Barr’s vowing Maxwell will not die in jail is a definite “The lady doth protest too much, methinks” statement.

That’s what one of the theories - that Epstein was given the privilege of doing himself in (although the second autopsy says that his injuries point to his being most likely killed by someone else).

Forecast calls for Cloudy, with another “perfect storm of screw ups.”

Epstein was a co-defendant in Doe vs Trump case - a rape of a 13 year old.

Note that Doe vs Trump was voluntarily dismissed WITHOUT prejudice because Jane Doe were receiving “numerous threats”.

The novelist and avid angler Thomas McGuane once said, presumably half-jokingly, “If the trout are lost, smash the state.” I’d say fairly seriously that if this woman is found dead we have a president who’s whacking people and we have to be in the streets about it.

Or someone else?

Before this woman is found dead, I hope someone clues us in on how her name is pronounced.
