"Those are crimes against the vulnerable, and you’re putting them with a puppy who is vulnerable."

"We do not allow anyone whose crime involves abuse towards minors or animals — including any crime of a sexual nature. That’s a hard policy we have, so she will not be able to.”

Said Paige Mazzoni, head of Canine Companions, quoted in "Ghislaine Maxwell barred from service dog training at cushy prison camp." (NBC News).

I hear the scream "slow news day".

It is also a "hard policy" of the Bureau of Prisons that sex criminals are not eligible for that particular facility.

So she will probably have a puppy in her dorm by the end of the week.

tim maguire చెప్పారు...

That seems dumb. Her crime was facilitating others. SFAIK, she has not been accused of sexually abusing anybody herself.

Wince చెప్పారు...

Yet transfer males "whose crime involves abuse towards minors or animals — including any crime of a sexual nature" to women's prisons?

Though she didn't receive a conviction to that effect, I've heard different. Also, I'm not sure taking the word of a convicted felon about anything is the win some people keep thinking it is.

The daughter or Robert Maxwell isn't believable no matter what she says, before or after her conviction.

n.n చెప్పారు...

Dogs are not humans. The mental association is different and likely disparate. Maxwell is accused of being a pimp for a man with a cispedophilic sexual orientation.

Order of special and peculiar interests. Misogyny takes a knee to transsocial and trans/simulant progress.

Inga చెప్పారు...

There are numerous victims of Epstein and Maxwell that said Maxwell engaged in sexual conduct with the underage girls she procured for Epstein and his clients. It takes a certain kind of psyche to do that. She’s not safe around vulnerable people and pets.

The GOP needs to be careful about trying to promote a narrative about Maxwell that she was a victim and was wrongly accused in order to protect Trump. Even people in his own base won’t accept it if she is pardoned.

Original Mike చెప్పారు...

I get a kick out of Inga declaring what Trump's base will and will not accept.

Leland చెప్పారు...

No worries. The GOP is in the process of exposing the Clinton's facilitation of the Epstein operation, in much the same way they facilitated the behavior of Harvey Weinstein and Democrats facilitated the illegal activities of Sam Bankman-Fried.

Kakistocracy చెప్పారు...

Ghislaine Maxwell, who is hoping Trump will release her from jail, told Trump’s deputy attorney general, who is also his personal lawyer, that Trump did nothing wrong around Jeffrey Epstein. Where does Trump go for his apology?

I may not agree with Trump's tolerance of pedophiles, but unlike the inauthentic Democrats, I know where he stands.

RCOCEAN II చెప్పారు...

Wow, life is tough at Club Fed. No puppies for you.

Leland చెప్పారు...

If you question Democrats facilitating the activities like Epstein and others; I give you California's AB 495: A California parental rights group is warning that proposed state legislation aimed at protecting illegal immigrant children during family separations “dangerously redefines” guardianship and could ultimately “make kidnapping children” easier.

This stems from Hillary's "It takes a village" socialism. The notion is the children are the State's to do as they please and not the parents. Of course, they will couch it as "protecting the children", but when have we seen a government agency really protect anyone? This is the same state government that will convince you to medically kill yourself to save money for Medicare or more exactly tell minor children to make themselves sterile without parental consent. So, if you are really worried about pedophiles having access to children, you'll stand against California's AB 495.

Your comments section screams out for a factchecker, ann. Nobody pushes back anymore.

Maxwell the cispedophilic groomer deserves a guppy, not a puppy. What did the transpedophilic groomers receive? Don't ask. Don't tell.

Peachy చెప్పారు...

Biden should be brought up on child sex trafficking charges. . Soros family, too. They funded and allowed illegal border crossings, drug and child sex trafficking to take place on a monumental scale.

Inga చెప్పారు...

I wonder if Epstein/Maxwell victims buy Trump’s narrative that this scandal is fake, created by his enemies, bullshit even. Hopefully there will be testimony under oath one day and hopefully Acosta won’t be allowed to slip away quietly.

Whatever Maxwell says of course can never be trusted, under oath or not. She will do and say whatever she can to escape her punishment on this earth, in the afterlife she may have a tougher time, Trump won’t have any power there.

Peachy చెప్పారు...

If Trump is in those "files" (and not added and padded by the same liars who manufactured the Russia Gate lies) - The left would have used it. Period. Biden had 4 years. The left had to manufacture BS right/left up down.
Bill Clinton will be protected.

FullMoon చెప్పారు...

Even people in his own base won’t accept it if she is pardoned.
Stupid comment. Zero chance of a pardon.
If she says Trump not involved, left says she is lying.
If no documents mention Trump, they were modified.
If names are redacted, Trump was mentioned.

Nobody , left or right, believes Trump is a pedophile.
Men involved were taking advantage of free sex with attractive women.
Most women involved were being paid and taking advantage of wealthy men.

Howard చెప్పారు...

A thinly veiled distraction

RideSpaceMountain చెప్పారు...

"Nobody , left or right, believes Trump is a pedophile."

Unfortunately, there is a small cohort of the left that absolutely believe that (some can be found here). They tend to be elderly, female, own more than one cat, and worship Rachel Maddow.

The House committee's subpoena list for matters tied to Jeffery Epstein excluded Alex Acosta — who was the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida whose secret non-prosecution agreement with Epstein created a spark that has turned into an inferno of controversy nearly 20 years later. ~ NBC News

Alex Acosta and Alan Dershowitz made the Epstein deal.

Inga చెప్పారు...

“Americans are overwhelmingly skeptical of Donald Trump’s handling of information related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. In a new UMass Amherst national poll, 70 percent of respondents said Trump is not handling the Epstein case well, while only 18 percent said he is.

Among respondents who were aware of Epstein, the deceased billionaire and convicted sex offender, 63 percent agreed that the Trump administration “is hiding important information” about the case. Of those who said the administration is hiding information, a staggering 81 percent blamed Trump for it. Others in Trump’s orbit also received blame, including Attorney General Pam Bondi (59 percent), FBI Director Kash Patel (49 percent), and House Speaker Mike Johnson (47 percent). Just 16 percent blamed Democrats in Congress.”

Original Mike చెప్పారు...

Matt Tiabbi: "There is no fact anywhere to support the idea that recent Russiagate releases are an attempt to “distract supporters who are angry about its broken promise to release the Jeffrey Epstein files.” It’s merely something that sounds right to Times readers,…

"It’s a small detail, but characteristic of what the Times has become. An experienced beat reporter would know the administration has been investigating Russiagate since Trump’s inauguration, that Patel referenced a discovery in this investigation on the Joe Rogan Experience on June 6th, and that CIA Director John Ratcliffe kicked off the recent releases with a report on the Trump-Russia probe that came out on July 2, before the much-criticized Epstein announcement by Pam Bondi’s Justice Department on July 7th."

Peachy చెప్పారు...

The desperate left cling to what ever Trump scandal they think they have. Roll out the BS polls.

Again - if Biden and his handlers knew there was dirt there - they would have used it.

Aggie చెప్పారు...

All the right people getting a case of pearl-clutching vapors. Awww.

@Leland, I have been wondering the same thing, whether the Epstein case has been reserved for special treatment, by drawing the Clintons into the equation. They've just been subpoenaed, haven't they? Now, why would the Clintons merit such consideration? How many trips to the island did they have? Hmm. And Trump owes so much to Hillary. Paybacks for things like that are hard to come by.

hombre చెప్పారు...

They forgot the part where Maxwell asked to be part of the program. Oh. Wait. She didn’t. This is just NBC pushing fake news to keep Epstein up front. It never ends.

MadisonMan చెప్పారు...

If anything in the Epstein files meant anything bad for Trump, I suspect they would have been leaked long ago. Or released by Biden.

That this has not and did not happen means the Files damage Democrats.

FullMoon చెప్పారు...

Just for clarification, is sex with a 17 year old woman currently considered "pedophillia"?

Have any men or women commenters here had sex at 17, or younger?

rhhardin చెప్పారు...

Training an animal is rehabilitative - it may be the first time that a youth has been listened to attentively. Using a training method that works is important though. Otherwise it's just more not being listened to.

FullMoon చెప్పారు...

I blame the parents.

RideSpaceMountain చెప్పారు...

"Have any men or women commenters here had sex at 17, or younger?"

It refers back to the unspoken double-standard:

- Men would say "yes" and be fine with it as it probably happened within their age cohort (not Emanuel Macron though).
- Lots of women lie and say "no" plus lie that it didn't happen with a much older guy and they were not only perfectly cool with it, they sought that out.

Narr చెప్పారు...

I got laid at 17, rather to my surprise. She was 16.

It was good.

Rusty చెప్పారు...

Let us remember. When this broke in, what, 2016? The FBI scoured everything Epstein. The Island, his homes, his airplane. There were teams of FBI. The FBI has had all the information for years.
Look at the lengths the DC elite, including the FBI, have gone through to prevent Trump from becoming president. We know the very top people in the CIA, the FBI and the democrat party went to great lengths to get the goods on Trump.
But you. You with your tiny little brains, are absolutely convinced that these same people are keeping a list from you with Trumps name on it.
Think very hard before you answer.

Saint Croix చెప్పారు...

Everybody knows pedophilia is a slippery slope. You think you can stop at 13-year-old girls. And then you're screwing the pooch. And that's an active crime scene, with DNA evidence, running around in your back yard.

"Hillary, we need to put the dog to sleep."

What Happened to Buddy?

Mickey Kaus has a theory.

And the horrible thing is that Buddy was replaced with Seamus. Who doesn't even have a wikipedia page. It's Labradors all the way down.

rhhardin చెప్పారు...

McGuirk on Imus remarked when Buddy (Clinton dog) died and the Clintons issued a statement of regret and grief, that those are the same words that they said when Vince Foster died.

Original Mike చెప్పారు...

"Think very hard before you answer."

We don't want them to hurt themselves. Do we?

RideSpaceMountain చెప్పారు...

Narr said, "I got laid at 17, rather to my surprise"

I got laid at seventeen
Who says love's just for beauty queens?!
Sweet sixteen and what a smile!
We danced all night and then retired
What wouldn't we do for such a screw
To date and dance and kiss and woo
Such memories can never fade
To be that young but just got laid!

Leland చెప్పారు...

@Aggie, I'm wondering if they are going to link a lot of this into a conspiracy, and then if that will work or be such a stretch to make it harder to believe. But the template was actually created by those involved in Fani Willis trial against Trump. They wanted to make "count all the votes" into a conspiracy (despite the fact that it is a progressive mantra most of the time). In the case of Hillary, it isn't hard to believe the same people that helped her escape an obvious charge of mishandling classified data would be the same people that would later try to frame Trump for crimes.

Seems appropriate punishment.
OTOH if the goal is some kind of redemption or rehabilitation then maybe she could be in some kind of program with animals like horse grooming, working with a large animal who might be dangerous if mistreated.

RCOCEAN II చెప్పారు...

Thanks for the Kaus article. Hilarious. Mickey should have been elected Governor, but he didn't realize how deeply stupid the voters are.

William చెప్పారు...

I presume Maxwell will choose her words carefully and say whatever will further her cause. Absent corroborating evidence, there's no reason to believe anything she says. She has apparently already finagled a stay at a more comfortable prison. She's pretty shrewd and knows hot to play in the big leagues. She's not like Monica Lewinsky who couldn't hit the inside curves.......Maybe someday we'll learn all there is to know about Epstein (doubtful) but there's no way we'll ever believe whatever info comes to light......I see no legitimate reason to bar Maxwell from having a dog except petty malice. I suppose she's deserving of petty malice, but it's nonetheless petty malice.

Tina Trent చెప్పారు...

Tim, being a pimp is a sexual crime, and she has been charged with more active participation as well.

Most prison "rehabilitation" programs are anti-American bullshit run by educated radicals behind bars or in universities. The dog training program, GED, and AA meetings are exceptions. There are places in Atlanta where a youth is more likely to earn a GED behind bars than if he is out on the streets.

Iman చెప్పారు...

She did sort of “screw teh pooch”, but not in the biblical sense, for cryin’ out loud.
