(1,988 posts)He used to be good, but he has lost his mind and takes patently ridiculous positions on certain issues(where I believe he has ulterior motives). For instance, a few years back at the beginning of the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman ordeal, AD actually stated that the charges would be dismissed against Zimmerman and then Pam Bondi would be charged with felonies for bringing the charges in the first place. Since then, I no longer give his opinion much credence. This guy knows that exchanging reduced sentences for cooperation is a cornerstone of the American justice system, but now its akin to "bribing" witnesses and therefore the subject/target can tamper with those witnesses? He has lost his mind.

(19,954 posts)In approximately 1999, when I was 15 years old, I met Ghislaine Maxwell. She is the daughter of Robert Maxwell, who had been a wealthy publisher in Britain. Maxwell asked that I come with her to Jeffrey Epsteins mansion for the purposes of teaching me how to
perform massages and to train me professionally in that area. Soon after that I went to Epsteins home in Palm Beach on El Brillo Way.
Clearly nothing good comes of Ghislaine... her father Robert Maxwell, larger than life figure, who was Rupert Murdoch's rival in the 80s British Newspaper industry died when he apparently fell off his boat "Lady Ghislaine".
Here's the bit on Wiki about her and Epstein
After moving to America, Maxwell and the billionaire American financier Jeffrey Epstein had a romantic relationship, and Maxwell remained close to him after their break-up.[11]
Maxwell has attracted press coverage for her friendship with Prince Andrew, Duke of York, the second son of Queen Elizabeth II, who attended social functions with her in New York.[12] Maxwell introduced Epstein to Prince Andrew and the three often socialized together.[13]
In 2008, Epstein was convicted of soliciting a minor for prostitution and served 13 months of an 18-month jail sentence. Details of a civil lawsuit made public in January 2015 contained a deposition from a woman, identified as 'Jane Doe 3', accusing Maxwell of having recruited her in 1999, when she was a minor, to have sex with Epstein. A 2018 expose by the Miami Herald reveals Jane Doe 3 to be Virginia Roberts. Roberts asserted that she was introduced by Maxwell to Epstein and then "groomed by the two for his pleasure, including lessons in Epstein's preferences during oral sex".[14]
Maxwell has repeatedly denied any involvement in Epstein's crimes.[11] In a 2015 statement, Maxwell rejected allegations that she has acted as a "madame for Epstein" and "facilitated Prince Andrew's acts of sexual abuse". Maxwell's spokesperson said that "the allegations made against Ghislaine Maxwell are untrue" and that she "strongly denies allegations of an unsavoury nature, which have appeared in the British press and elsewhere and reserves her right to seek redress at the repetition of such old defamatory claims.

(50,269 posts)remember a time when a person involved in a pedophilia investigation (Epstein) was still given air time like that. I can't, of course, except for the creepy Moore campaign and he had the good sense to avoid interviews most of the time.
