@ericgarland@soychicka Epstein is an ultimate nightmare beast for every conspirator who ever had anything to do with elites in New York City... or anywhere in America.
1,000,000+ pages of evidence, plus videos of apparently everyone involved?
Going back decades?
In a conspiracy extending statutes?
@ericgarland@soychicka Two things: 1. Transmitting or receiving illegal pornography is a felony.
It's an incredibly rare case where a mere *data* *transmission* carries probable cause.
2. *Never* get into a *child*-*rape* conspiracy documented to such an excruciating degree.
@ericgarland@soychicka Everyone on those videos from the last five years already knows they have to flip.
Whether Epstein committed suicide "if you know what's good for you" with or without help, or was otherwise silenced, it's *very* persuasive to everyone.
@ericgarland@soychicka So is "Don't worry, you can do 15 years in Rikers as 'King of the Pedophiles' standing on your head."
All the evidence they've already gathered, all the confessions rolling in, all the lawsuits as of 3 days ago against various perpetrators?
Or because you "misunderstood a clause in the contract."
Or you "had no idea that guy was foreign intel!"
Nope, you're on video from the child-rape/blackmail factory.
@ericgarland@soychicka You can't play games with spin, or claiming "it's all political," or hoping no one will bring espionage charges because of "sources and methods."
Nope, hard evidence by the truck load.
But there *is* an out.
Great, huh?
Just confess every crime you've ever been aware of.Ever.
@ericgarland@soychicka And then hope you've got testimony, and hopefully, *documentation,* that will make it worth it to reduce your sentence.
Given how few of these guys would survive a decade or two in Rikers, almost anything will improve their situation.
@ericgarland@soychicka But at this point, it isn't a matter of keeping everyone from talking.
Extensive video and audio, *and* 1,000,000+ pages of evidence? *Before* they bring espionage charges?
And then there's the reason I brought up illegal pornography...
@ericgarland@soychicka They've taken down two huge sites for that kind of pornography, and appear to have plenty of evidence to trace the assorted users.
So if you're trying to prove conspiracy, on top of the videos w/audio, 1,000,000+ pages, money laundering & financial crimes, you have this as well.
@ericgarland@soychicka Other than the above, and a bunch of other things I didn't mention like the unlimited search capacity of Grover's algorithm to sift through these evidence archives using even basic quantum computing, etc...
So there's a level child abuse that escalates straight into child rape with this illegal pornography.
On the other hand, it all carries probable cause, and the @FBI knew and has been shutting it down since Sept, 2017.
@ericgarland@soychicka@FBI So not only are these illegal-pornography networks easily tracked down & mapped out, they're leading directly to more child abusers, & in particular to more child rapists.
Being involved in a criminal conspiracy - say, involving illegal pornography - helpfully extends statutes.
@ericgarland@soychicka@FBI I think it's escaped people that these videos of kids getting raped... Means there's a direct victim.
And a *rapist.* On *video.*
And anyone selling it is profiting from it, and likely tied to it.
In some form of criminal conspiracy.
@ericgarland@soychicka@FBI So tracking back these networks & annihilating them means taking out the people who support these terrible things financially.
But it also means tracking a lot of this material back to the *rapists.*
Now consider the scale of this, & how many operations have already gone down.

The IDF may well flood each tunnel section without hostages with seawater where its encroachment has already destroyed the aquifer, and with freshwater everywhere else, giving civilians time to flee while destroying these bunkers, transportation corridors, not to mention weapons.
AI drones don’t really need communications at all, if they’re advanced enough to operate on their own, say for limited missions. Given the US already has AI which can fly F-16s and outfly human pilots, we can assume such drones will be available soon, if they don’t already exist.
Then, there's an entire layer of espionage, treason, terrorism, psychological warfare, physical warfare, and an attempted, violent coup in the United States...
@ericgarland Let me say something reassuring to people trying to remove 87,000 IRS agents to slow prosecutions into the work of hostile foreign intelligence, treason & organized crime.
It is already far, far too late.
Evidence has been rolling in for years, along with unknowing confessions.
@ericgarland We've been treating this 6-year, slow-motion explosion like new geography rather than the snapshot of a blastwave and scattering shrapnel that it is.
It's not just that none of this was sustainable.
It's how much of their reserves our adversaries burnt down to attempt it.
@ericgarland Consider the incredibly granular map counterintel and law enforcement now have of the offshored wealth being illegally onshored via money laundering and other illicit exchanges.
@NatashaBertrand Twitter, it's time we had A Talk about a Ukraine insurgency against Russian occupation.
You'll notice "all this endless talking" has pushed back prospective invasion until at least late January, during the Omicron wave.
A thousand years of Russian history does not bode well...
@NatashaBertrand For any who would launch an offensive during Russian winter.
Even for Russians.
Be that as it may, there's another glaring factor involved.
The Javelins.
@NatashaBertrand Imagine a weapon which strikes almost unerringly, can be launched up to 1.6 miles away (for the shortest-range version), doesn't flare into full visibility until flying away from its user, and can take out a main battle tank with a single shot.
@McFaul Putin has backed himself into a corner and is facing prospects which look incredibly grim.
Reportedly, as of 2 months ago, only about 20% of Russia had taken any vaccines, almost none of them validated Western doses.
It’s Russian winter, and Delta and Omicron have joined hands.
@McFaul Every pillar of Russia’s economy, from fossil fuels to weapons to organized crime to espionage, is either sunsetting or facing fierce headwinds.
Russia is peaking demographically.
China has peaked.
@McFaul China’s construction industry has built housing for everyone in China plus an extra 200 *million* people.
One company alone has hundreds of billions of dollars in debts in can not pay.
But worse, there’s a multitude of subcontractors with no reason to exist.
