Mother Jones | Trump Admin. Has Up to 120,000 Pages of Documents on Ghislaine Maxwell’s Prison Transfer by David Corn

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

The article examines the puzzling 2022 transfer of convicted sex‑trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell from a medium‑security co‑ed prison to the low‑security, women‑only Federal Prison Camp in Bryan, Texas—a facility known for amenities such as yoga classes and a puppy program and previously housing high‑profile inmates like Elizabeth Holmes. After a lengthy interview with former deputy attorney general Todd Blanche in which Maxwell praised Donald Trump, journalist Michele McGowan filed a Freedom of Information Act request for every record concerning the move, only to encounter months of delay and a claim from the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) that retrieving the data involved “15.8 GB of potentially responsive records”—roughly 120,000 pages that crashed the agency’s system. The BOP’s slow, understaffed FOIA office, now burdened by thousands of backlogged requests, mirrors a broader federal trend of dwindling FOIA resources and mounting delays across the Defense, State, and Health departments, prompting lawsuits by Mother Jones and the Center for Investigative Reporting to force disclosure. Meanwhile, reports of special treatment for Maxwell at the Bryan camp and political talk of a possible Trump pardon have heightened calls for transparency, underscoring the need for the Justice Department to simply explain the rationale behind her relocation rather than leaving the public to wade through an enormous, delayed FOIA request.

lot of people seem to think the #Epstein suicide note made public yesterday is fake because [[reasons]. i haven't yet heard a [reason] that has convinced me, but if you have leave a comment.

ended up collecting a formal-ish list of reasons to believe (or disbelieve) Epstein wrote the note: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/2052567118764290081.html

less importantly, speaking subjectively as someone who has read enough of Jeffrey #Epstein's mail to have a good sense of the man's authorial style, the note reads to me like it was written by the same guy that wrote all of Epstein's emails.

there's some caveats to that claim (see link) but tl;dr i basically believe epstein wrote the note. i am less certain but also believe that he actually planned to kill himself when he wrote it.

what i find troubling about the note isn't the possibility that epstein didn't write it but instead it's the fact that it was "found" between the pages of a book belonging to contract killer and dirty cop extraordinaire Nick #Tartaglione AKA "Epstein's cellmate the first time he tried to kill himself".

if you were looking to cast a character in a conspiracy involving organized crime groups worked with corrupt #NYPD and #BOP officials to somehow make things happen inside Epstein's jail cell Tartaglione would be *exactly* that kind of guy. like you could not find a guy in that facility with deeper ties both to various mafias as well as a network of corrupt law enforcement and other #NYC govt officials.

Carter, Gillespie Inc.

Seems unlikely they incorporated for this release. :-)

Part of the very enjoyable Pablo re-release series from Analogue Productions, this has two greats from different eras—Benny Carter (alto) and Dizzy Gillespie (trumpet)—playing with Tommy Flanagan (piano), Joe Pass (guitar), Al McKibbon (bass), and Micky Roker (drums).

A mix of styles and tempos from this sextet, and a nice listen.
