jesus the Palm Beach Police really sought arrest warrants against underage Epstein victims for coming forward and cooperating, and (purported) admitting to crimes, and it caused the victims to become uncooperative with the federal investigation
![. . . very cooperative, but the police at that point had to let [redacted] know that what she had done that she could be facing charges.
Q And that was after they had told her earlier that she didn't need an attorney present, correct?
A Exactly.
Q Okay. So this happens to her with the Palm Beach Police Department and did the Palm Beach Police actually present or propose charging [redacted]?
A They did get a probable cause affidavit against [redacted].
Q And is that why Ms. [redacted] and her attorney were concerned about her testimony here?
A Yes.
Q Now was a subpoena issued for Ms. [redacted] on behalf of this grand jury?
A Yes, it was.
Q And before Ms. [redacted] would comply with that, did she -- did her attorney request some sort of order?
A Yes.
Q And what did he ask for?
A He asked for immunity for [redacted].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:eoss3vmzem55cm5kuddhdmwn/bafkreiariijffjjrgfh26o22jjr76pwprinvnbpkcho5lyi2sucfbqlooy@jpeg)

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

If you take what Healy is saying at face value, the message is that a public figure is best off refusing to talk to the Times. The explicit argument is that because Mamdani was willing to answer questions about his stolen personal information, that turned the theft into a voluntary disclosure.
The thread is pure deflection and evasion. Healy is really trying to claim that there's no problem with how they gave the Nazi pseudonymous cover because readers could just Google the pseudonym themselves to find out he's a Nazi—he calls this giving readers "context" and "a way to learn more."
The crisis at the New York Times can be summed up pretty concisely by the fact that Patrick Healy is in charge of Standards and Trust
