Rachel was great last night, but in particular, she did a great summary of many red flags related to Epstein and more

I found a transcript and sharing that portion below. There were a few spelling errors that I corrected, but there could be others.

The convicted child sex traffickers, plural. President Donald Trump was of course friends with convicted pedophile and child sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein for at least 15 years, the federal prosecutor who gave Epstein his bizarrely lenient plea deal in Florida, which set him free to continue what he was doing to children. Trump named that federal prosecutor to his cabinet in his first term. That was Alex Acosta, who Trump made the United States Secretary of Labor after the bizarrely lenient plea deal that Epstein inexplicably got from Alex Acosta. Epstein was later charged federally for additional sex crimes against children, including some that allegedly, allegedly took place in Florida.

The federal prosecutor who brought those charges, the Trump administration just inexplicably fired her without explanation. Meanwhile, the Florida Attorney General, the Florida State Attorney General, who brought no state charges against Epstein in Florida, even when those alleged Florida sex crimes against children turned up in Epstein's Federal indictment, Trump named that Florida official, Pam Bondi to be the Attorney General of the United States in his second term. I should mention though that she was his second choice after his first choice for Attorney General washed out when he himself came under investigation for child sex trafficking after an ethics investigation concluded that Trump's attorney general first choice, Matt Gaetz had paid for sex and had sex with an underage girl, which is statutory rape.

Mr. Gaetz was not criminally charged, but he did get withdrawn as Trump's first choice for Attorney General in favor of Pam Bondi instead, who didn't charge Jeffrey Epstein in Florida. And now under Pam Bondi's leadership at the US Department of Justice, Jeffrey Epstein's, co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell, who participated in the sexual abuse of children with Jeffrey Epstein, who was herself sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for her own crimes against children with Epstein. Pam Bondi's Justice Department has now moved Ghislaine Maxwell to a minimum security federal facility. Even though sex offenders like her are not allowed at facilities like that, this is a place for nonviolent offenses and white collar crimes.

And not only is she not allowed to be at a place like that because of the nature of her crimes, because of her being convicted of sex crimes against children, but NBC news reports that the prison itself had to increase its own security, staffing and security protocols simply to be able to accept her as a transferred prisoner, which means they are expending huge federal resources for her, extra taxpayer dollars for extra security, just to make sure that Ghislaine Maxwell is in an extra comfortable facility giving her special privileges that no other prisoner in the Federal Bureau of Prisons appears to be getting for any reason.

But she is a child sex trafficker linked to President Donald Trump. And so that's what tough on crime looks like here under Pam Bondi's leadership. The Department of Justice has also earned headlines like this one from just a few days ago. Video shows Department of Justice official urging January 6th rioters to kill cops. Now, to be clear, this man wasn't a Department of Justice official when he urged January 6th rioters to kill cops. He was just a January 6th rioter when he was urging his fellow January 6th rioters to kill cops.
