Someone told the WSJ about that letter. Then someone leaked the fact Trump had the files pre-screened for his name. Today we get a leak about Trump needing to interview personally four star generals . . .
Who the fuck is leaking? Is it the deep state, cabinets members sick already of kissing the boot, people around him disillusioned after learning about him and Epstein?
All I know is we got more leakers at the moment than Jake Tapper interviewed to write a whole boring book on Joe Biden being old, and no one yet cares who the fuck they are. But I got that feeling knowing how Trump feels about loyalty, we're going to find out.

The letter was provided to the WSJ by Maxwell's brother. This, of course, is why the felon's lawyer/DOJ #2 immediately went to negotiate with her. The people in the White House are aware that if she isn't released, the brother will leak more.

Maxwell is as bad if not worse than epstein. She groomed those children gaining their trust and participated in their abuse. If not for her there might have been fewer victims.
If she were my sibling I would make whatever evidence I had public. Wouldn't even have to think about it.

(77,546 posts)I would say that a lot of what this ilk does would be difficult to prove beyond a reasonable doubt meets the legal standard of blackmail. But it fits a common sense understanding of how people at these levels communicate messages that influence others' thinking and behaviors.
The brother wants his sister released. He communicates that in the tongue he learned growing up in the Maxwell family. In a very real sense, it is the brother talking to the felon-in-chief in the language he understands. Hence, immediately after the WSJ story broke, the felon sent his lawyer to negotiate with her. If the felon fails to take action, more material will be released. Perhaps it arrives in drips, perhaps a tidal wave.
They are not nice people. They are the product of the overlap between intelligence and organized crime.

(77,546 posts)OP you are thinking of. I'm not aware of Maxwell's sister. There was a brother who died young, and two still alive.

(7,227 posts)the poster 'brush' above is referring to your post in response #1 above where you stated "The letter was provided to the WSJ by Maxwell's sister" ... snip ... maybe you meant to say brother ??? Peace.

(598 posts)Two brothers and two sisters were at her court hearings supporting her. One brother is very vocal and pushing the narrative that Maxwell is just another victim of epstein.
Your right these are not nice people.

(598 posts)And karma. Not sure how you got there. I posted about Maxwell and her brother in regards to what evidence that he might have.
You accuse me of not being a dem and suggest I am plant.
That's a personal attack and I'm confused why you would post that.

(3,249 posts)Trump has more than asked for a harsh rebuff-he has given out many himself.. no reason to be understanding and sympathetic to him as you seemed too simpatico to him perhaps I am not understanding your post correctly..if so I apologize

(598 posts)Wanting Maxwell to stay in jail and for her brother to make public any evidence he might have regarding epstein.
You don't know me, if you did you would know how much I have hated trump and everything he stands for long before he rode that escalator in 2016. Both my sister and daughter are sexuall assault survivors. So I would very much appreciate you not acussing me of being "simpatico" with the pedophile in chief.
So just stop with your accusations.
Lifeafter70
(598 posts)What you are referring to. Just because I posted the brother might be blackmailing trump is in no way suggesting I'm whining about it or any karma in regards to trump.. Nor does it suggest I'm supporting trump.
I'm disgusted with Maxwell's brother and his alleged involvement in protecting Maxwell. I believe she is a pedophile and needs to stay in jail.
You have accused me twice of not being a "demo" and a plant. Not nice.
H2O Man
(77,546 posts)Your point was clear. In no way did you say anything that shifted any blame from the felon. Just the opposite.

(598 posts)The epstein case hits me hard on a personal level and being accused of being "simpatico " to that pedophile cuts me deep. I have been a dem since before I could vote (early 60s). Not sure why that poster accused of being a plant. I have been reading du since at least 2005 and first joined in 2008 but lost my account in the big hack, but continued to read. I rejoined mainly to read and post in the cancer forum because of my son's struggles with acc cancer. Didn't expect a fellow duer to acusse me of being supportive of that piece of shit.

(8,208 posts)She has all the cards (evidence) to put it in the language that Traitor understands.
She wont wait long to remind him (again) that shes waiting for a pardon and release.
The felon-in-chief mistaken thought he was the alpha dog. But he is a heel, and they know his Achilles heel, hence his immediate heeling when the brother commanded him.
Might i add there will be no healing of any kind for the pedophile that has shat in the oval office.
