I'd also like to see a thorough investigation into the reason why Ms Maxwell was mved to a country-club-like low security camp where she seems to be treated more like a hotel guest than a prisoner.

AI snapshot regarding the IGs:

"As of early 2026, the independence of federal agency Inspectors General (IGs) under Dummkopf Trumpf's junta has been significantly weakened. In January 2025, the sinister Trumpf cabal fired at least 17 inspectors general across federal agencies, an action described as unprecedented and aimed at removing independent oversight.

By October 2025, more than 75% of presidentially appointed IG positions were vacant, and many newly confirmed Trumpf-appointed IGs had previously worked within the junta, raising concerns about their independence."

It was to prepare her for her upcoming presidential pardon and release back into the pedosphere.

"Pedosphere."

Like Kramer, I shall use this term in a sentence.

"Thanks to phony Christians and MAGAts, America is one sweltering pedosphere."

Thanks again, Marine!

It is like having Al Capone as your President and finding out that to make sure he was never arrested himself , top people in the FBI and all other federal investigators were fired if they even thought of investigating Trump, or rather, Capone.

Did not the bloated, bald, ------ extol the virtues of "Alphonse Capone"?
