It could be that Maxwell is the King, if the real purpose of the operation was espionage/blackmail and Epstein himself became caught up in the hedonistic aspects and she did the real work. Time will tell, maybe.
Here is a good analysis of the options and pros/cons facing Ghislaine Maxwell and the US Attorney SDNY:
I just read the article and it was informative but one mistake the author made was distasteful - he put Donald Trump’s name in along with Clinton and Prince Andrew. So that tarnishes the author’s ability to be rational and think clearly. But otherwise decent article.
I just found this while on another trail. Missed in on the 5th. The very end of the article is interesting but I am only quoting a few sections. But interesting:
Ghislaine Maxwell arrest: Armed agents, spy planes used to take down Epstein gal pal
"Armed agents raced a convoy of 15 vehicles through the New Hampshire woods, with spy planes buzzing overhead, in the moments before they smashed down Ghislaine Maxwell’s door and arrested her Thursday, according to a report."
"Small planes had started buzzing over Bradford, New Hampshire, from 4:20 a.m. Thursday — four hours before the raid..."
"When 24 armed FBI agents finally stormed the property — appropriately named “Tuckedaway” — they were backed by New York cops, local officers and even New Hampshire’s gang task force, the paper said."
“...And let’s just say, we didn’t knock politely on the door,” the officer said. “It was smashed down.”"
The article had a very weak hit piece on Trump ties to Maxwell. Of course, if you want the full hit piece, you have to buy the book.
