IOW, since they only reference the estate, not the decedent - if he was actually whisked away by Barr &| Mossad and surfaces in 10 years, would this safely serve to indemnify all his powerful 'clients' in perpetuity
...in a way that victims would not have agreed to if they were aware he was not deceased (if that were indeed the case), as the potential for his harm to others would not have come to a fixed end as they believed?
IOW, since they didn't say he's dead, if it turns out he actually isn't,
does waiving their rights means they can't file additional claims against him/others based on fraudulent representations if those assumptions weren't actually included in the document....
Because although I don't BELIEVE the above, I've always found the "Epstein didn't kill himself" meme to be highly suspect, in that if it were meant to lay blame directly at the Clintons' feet, they would most certainly have used their names with glee....
"EDKH" could eventually be used to introduce in court that many individuals who publicly stated he was not dead at the time, and that the victims' willingness to sign was [insert derogatory claim here], and that fraud can't be claimed as a reason to overturn agreements...
basically, if this was a big racket set up to protect others based on the predicate that Epstein was dead - one that the survivors would never have signed off on had they known he was still living?
Again, I don't believe this, but I'm curious...
and the predicate for seeking to overturn this could change - iow, if in fact Maxwell was actually Epstein's "boss" but was technically employed by him for some period of time, as were all his co-conspirators to place them in a protected class...
IOW, would this preclude any coordinated misrepresentation of facts serving as a means of opening up his co-conspirators to charges, if not for the actual crimes thn for rackeering to prevent victims from pursuing restitution from each individual responsible for their abuse?
NB - this notion that blocking suits against Maxwell because it would put the estate in an endless cycle of litigation, for example, seems like it could be a fraudulent representation of the reason for including her in a protected class...
What we really need: legislation to permit any citizen to force those who they have reason to believe engaged in facilitating sexual predation into court.
Allowing others to file suit relieves survivors of the initial burden.
If SCOTUS decides to 'remain neutral' on abortion rights, they're effectively saying fetuses have no inherent constitutional 'right to life' per the USC.
That means any attempt to outlaw it as such would then be an unconsititutional violations of fully living womens' rights.
The thing is, you can't just willy-nilly restrict the rights of one person - unless you're doing it to ensure someone else's liberty is not impeded.
The only limit to our own liberty exists when it negatively impacts another's liberty.
If SCOTUS "neutrally" deems non-viable fetuses are not guaranteed the same rights & freedoms that a fully realized human adult possesses under the constitution in ALL states,
there can be NO constitutional path to limit the rights of pregnant women to terminate that pregnancy.
The reason the FEC "dropped the ball" for several years?
Because there Was. Not. A. Quorum.
There literally were not enough commissioners to even vote on ANYTHING until May 2020 - because Trump nominated no one.
And the commission was only filled out at the END of his term.
Leaving those seats open ensured that no action would be possible, and that, by stacking the deck at the end of the administration, things could get pushed out past the SOL.
However, I propose that, indeed, the multi-year lack of a quorum is something that should TOLL SOL.
If there are not enough commissioners to make a decision - any decision - it is impossible for a crime to be "discovered" - and statute of limitations explicitly does not start ticking until the crime is discovered.
If there is no ability to prosecute, SOL can NOT expire.
Also... Dennis Hastert's mentor Dallas Ingemunson and his former boss Durston "Buck" Ohse represented the interests of Paul Ricca - aka "the Waiter" aka Paul DeLucia
aka head of the Chicago Outfit
and de-facto brains of the outfit from Capone to Giancana. madisonrecord.com/stories/510719…
Sometime during the 1930s, Ricca bought an 1100 acre farm from the former GOP state representative, C. Hoge (whose original source of wealth was in slavery on the East Coast) in the far southwest part of Kendall County (outlined below), along the Grundy and Lasalle County lines.
And, might I add, the transaction seemed to be at above-market rates for the time period... I can find that data again if needed.
At minimum, both Ohse & Ingemunson handled some of the transactions for that property - and both served as Kendall County States' Attorney.
Correction:
Hastert also suing the man he admitted to molesting when he was a teenage wrestler.
Does anyone else think $3.1M is a really, really high hush money payout for a single instance of assault? Or might there be something else Hastert was hiding? (hint: 👇)
MACSRSHJCDK - which one was it? Or another I'm not thinking of? I have a guess...
But note: "Individual A" did not let that secret out - Jeffrey Epstein did. So you'd best pay up, Denny Boy.
So drop your damn countersuit and pay the man what you owe him.
It's showtime.
p.s. I have no information that suggests there was any attempted extortion on the part of the victim; I do, however, know that a guilty mind is prone to assume someone else knows more than they do, and may cast one's attempt to gain some semblance of justice as extortion.
