Dmitriev’s work on so-called liquidations during the Stalin era are considered so threatening by the current Russian government that accusations of paedophilia and sexual abuse have been fabricated against him. He was recently sentenced to 13 years in prison.

Millions were killed during Soviet terror, but the victims of these atrocities and their living relatives have never been given real justice. Dmitriev is currently serving a prison sentence and is considered a political prisoner by the Norwegian Helsinki Committee and other leading human rights organizations [....]

What will Epstein's guards reveal?

They have to cooperate with a DOJ IG investigation, which could lead to charges for others. They do 100 hours of community service.

Probably a just result.

He needs them to be happy and most of all, re-elected, for all kinds of global reasons. If you are into further disruption, of the far right or a far left variety, to start "a new world order", i.e., get the world back to zero real quick, impose all kinds of new energy dictates to save the planet, or some such, then you might not give a flying fuck about what German moderates need. But if you are into keeping German a major STABLE liberal ally society, then you might make the decision he did.
