Short thread on some things to consider re: reports of Ghislaine's arrest.
1. They waited until after Bill Barr fired G Berman
2. They reportedly arrested her in NH, they've known where she is this whole time, waited till now. Why now?

3. If Ghislaine goes to prison, she'll get suicided. Remember they took out her dad when he became a liability to Israeli Intel.
4. Sponsors of the Epstein - Maxwell op no longer need sex blackmail, all tech-based now, they want this scandal tied up and memory holed.

5. The crazy news cycle, between covid19, protests, global tensions, econ collapse, ensures that people's attention will be less focused on her arrest than Epstein's a year ago
6. Plays into Trump's reelection by bolstering (false) claim that he is "taking down the pedos"

7. Initial arrest doesn't necessarily mean Ghislaine is going to prison or will be held accountable for anything
8. The fact the FBI won't even touch or question Les Wexner ("head of the snake" of the whole op) tells you that any effort to go after Ghislaine is superficial

We'll see what they say at the press conference, but remember that it's their actions that matter and that need to be watched, not their press conference rhetoric. New SDNY guy was installed by Barr (Berman was fired) right before this arrest happened.
