Epstein scandal questions: Letters – Latest News
The Issue: Ghislaine Maxwell speaking to the DOJ amid a resurgence in curiosity within the Jeffrey Epstein case.
Well, properly, properly: Ghislaine Maxwell, ice-cold procurer, sex-trafficker and co-conspirator with Jeffrey Epstein in a savage and sordid legal enterprise is a resident in a rundown federal jail circled by razor wire (“DOJ big sit-down with Epstein madam Ghislaine,” July 25).
That’s applicable. It’s abhorrent to call Maxwell a socialite; she’s a convicted felon.

American presidents have been no stranger to scandal.
Thomas Jefferson handled allegations of a long-standing sexual relationship with one of his slaves, Sally Hemings. No much less salacious was the Monica Lewinsky affair.
Perhaps essentially the most infamous was President Richard Nixon’s participation in Watergate, which at its core was an attempt to illegally affect the result of an election.
While these transgressions served to outrage the public, none concerned the alleged molestation of dozens of underage women, the present scandal impacting President Trump’s second time period.
Although there may be no proof exposing the president’s participation in Epstein’s acts of degeneracy, one query stays on the minds of many Americans: Was Trump complicit in any approach?
The reality might by no means be identified, however one factor is for certain — obfuscation and deflection aren’t its pathway.

It seems that Maxwell goes to spill her guts in exchange for her freedom.
Makes sense, and she or he’s undoubtedly bought the products. But she might be residing in worry for the remainder of her life.

The step by Republican Speaker Mike Johnson to stop potential discussions in regards to the Epstein information by shutting down the House of Representatives smells of desperation.
Epstein died nearly six years in the past — by no matter means — and there may be nonetheless no actual motion on releasing the information, regardless of Trump’s assurances.
The suggestion of permitting Trump more time to deal with the matter is farcical given how long it has been a lead merchandise in most newspapers.
The information aren’t going to be forgotten, and hopefully they received’t be destroyed, so allow them to be seen. Let the reality be informed. This applies to all nations and their governments.

The Issue: French President Emmanuel Macron’s choice to formally acknowledge Palestinian statehood.
Regarding the pathetic nation of France recognizing Palestine: Isn’t this the identical France that in 1942 rounded up hundreds of Jewish residents, amongst them nearly 4,000 Jewish youngsters, in a bicycle stadium and despatched them to the Nazis for extermination (“Macron: France will recognize Palestinian state,” July 25)?
A complete of a minimum of 77,000 Jews have been rounded up by the French police and despatched to their horrible deaths. Why would we deal with France in any respect? I don’t buy something from the French and by no means will. Americans ought to boycott all of their low cost wine and the rest.
Total isolation for this silly, terrorist-loving nation is a good resolution. Or higher but, France ought to invite all of the Palestinians there to make it their new homeland.

In worry of his ever-growing Muslim population, ensuing from open borders, French President Emmanuel Macron will “bend the knee” and acknowledge a Palestinian state on the antisemitic UN General Assembly in September.
I’m wondering: Which portion of France will Maron cut out for his new Palestinian state ?
