Curious what took you to NK? Not a political question at all. Only asking as I spent a bit of time at the JSA in 90s while in the Army and always wondered about NKsince it seems unlike any other country in the world.
Getting some posters from the hotel.

I am assuming that is for me.
I went to NK in 2000 representing a US Senator who had a large contingency of South Korean Christians give food stock and corn seed to NK during this massive famine,
I ,with an assistant, a German Ph.D were sent to try to see where this went and who would get it and report back. None of the South Koreans dared to go.
It was like no place I have seen before or sense. Incredible oppression, And all those who were there for humanitarian reasons were kept in the same hotel, with army garrison next door, We went was heavily controlled and choreographed. We were not allowed to engage with any people, And they avoided us (clearly out of fear) when ever they saw us.
We were in Pyong Yang, the center, And when we came back from our respective areas we compared notes. and one of the things that we notice is that when we calculated the number of people that we saw that might be 50 years of age or more was less than 50 total!!!
Even the army guys next door were quite thin,
Unbelievable poverty and oppression and fear, with a constant broadcasting of military music and propaganda, It was fricking surreal!

This is an amazing turn of events. Will anyone admit that they were manipulated and pandered to for the sake of their vote. Trump and his advisors have used Qanon against the Qanon and those adjacent.

Numerous victims told us about Ghislaine, not reviled institutions. What no one is talking about is on the Newsmax BOD. Alex Acosta, and why he gave Epstein a slap on wrist.

Not only sweet for Epstein but also for all his co-conspirators. They were all granted immunity to prosecution after the plea bargain deal. That is until the feds finally acknowledged the victims weren't told of the deal and they had to reopen the case. It would be fun to know who told Acosta to stand down and give Epstein that sweetheart deal.

Update on the sudden Maxwell prison move before her impending congressional testimony.
"Blanche has not yet commented on the contents of their discussion, but Maxwell's attorney Markus said Friday there have been "no asks and no promises" about clemency."
"Federal Prison Camp Bryan is a federal minimum-security facility in Bryan, Texas, housing nonviolent female offenders. The institution's focus on rehabilitation offers a considerably less restrictive environment compared to traditional prisons. Certain inmates are allowed participation in off-site work programs and benefit from greater autonomy, though they remain under strict supervision."
Sure appears as though she's being rewarded for something, doesn't it? (We can't do clemency right now, but cooperate and we can make life considerably easier for you.)

I think you vastly overestimate the differences between low security and minimum security.
It's not like she went from solitary at a super max.
My money is on either a specific threat or more likely for either regular rotation (this practice has been noted) or medical care, though Bryan would not necessarily be a destination for that. FW or North Carolina.
To jump to this as an intermediary to clemency is quite laughable.

It only creates suspicion if you live under the impression they are up to something nefarious.
Particularly when any "news" on this spins it in the worst possible scenario regarding Trump, their standard modus operandi.

Dershowitz is full of it. The sentence was within the federal guidelines for sex trafficking multiples minors.
She was Epstein's #2. Played an integral part in the sex crimes.
