Prison staff who leaked information about Ghislaine Maxwell’s preferential treatment have been fired, a lawyer for the convicted sex trafficker said.
Maxwell, a longtime associate of the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, was moved to a minimum security prison known as Camp Bryan after meeting with the Justice Department earlier this year. The DOJ interview followed backlash against the Trump administration for its handling of government files related to Epstein.
Why is our government so dedicated to protecting elite criminals and their treatment?
Because they’re in solidarity with their own class interests. No doubt that there are a bunch of elected officials who would feature in the Epstein files if they were released in full, but even those that wouldn’t still have a vested interest in stabilising the current order. Doing this sets a precedent that even if consequences come for some, they will be protected.
Not every elected representative is a corrupt asshole, but I’d wager it’s the majority. Some of them probably even think they’re acting benevolent in acting to reinforce and protect their own power.
The system isn’t broken, it’s working exactly as intended.
Because our government is run by elite criminals, obviously.
Well nothing about them is elite. They are just criminals.
I suppose it would be more accurate to say “because the wealthy have class solidarity.”

Fucking hell, if those criminals are the elite of their kind, I dread to think what the shitty, incompetent criminals are like.
Apparently they’re like a president.
One of them ran a thing called “Douche” or something at the beginning of the year
🧑🚀🔫🧑🚀
Because they defer to power.
Because they’re friends
Because our government is predominantly made up of elite criminals who have just not been caught yet. It’s just professional courtesy, really.
Self interest.
I would argue that it’s important to protect any criminal’s treatment while imprisoned… however, this is especially hypocritical for them considering how they normally regard 99% of the people in prison.
Maybe they’re the only ones they can actually empathize with because they can see themselves in an elite prison someday.
The question is the answer.
