This chick is just weeks away from a guilty verdict that will put her in prison for the rest of her wicked life.

I'm sure she'll sing like a canary.

Could she ever name names or what? If I was her I'd take everyone down with me.

Well she provided the girls. Who literally were practically kids. The bad part is she will go down. But they will not go after any of the guys involved also.

She belongs in prison...for a long long time

I can’t wait to see how you guys try to make this about one perverted guy’s sexual fantasies instead of a worldwide blackmail operation that controls governments everywhere. See molehill below👇

NBC has never covered the waukesha terror attack.

Surprised she hasn't *suicide* yet.

I'm surprised she didn't 'commit suicide' yet...

Pretty sure she has a 'get out of jail' card tucked away somewhere, I'm surprised she's chosen to not use it yet. What she knows, the dirt about so many, should earn her a pass with the right prosecutor. Powerful people are not letting this prosecutor deal.
