Good point: Le Canard Enchaine on Weds., perhaps...
... but now this from Le Monde just now:
"Live from the Trump-Zelenskyy meeting: Vladimir Putin is ready to meet the Ukrainian president "in two weeks", according to Friedrich Merz"
... and how many civilians will be targetted in the meantime?

No, not false... the report in the article contains an image of the custody documentation and this explanation:
"What stands out here is the custody level “OUT”, which allows her to leave the minimum security campus for work assignments"
Nobody says she has already been outside of the facility...

Bezos could try, perhaps, but it would be riskier and would take the same sort of financial commitment from Trump and NASA.
So all said and done, it's not gonna happen! (and frankly shouldn't...)
