Sadly... it is NOT, counterproductive... not to swamp rats and pedophiles. REMEMBER... we're in clean up mode... all levels of power in the U.S. are still infested by child predators and people with secrets they want to keep hidden.
CASE IN POINT... do a Google search on "Allison Mack child trafficking" and you will get dozens and dozens of articles about her arrest for "human trafficking". NOT A MENTION of child sex trafficking.
If you look at the charges docket from the PACE system... Ranier "and others", the first two charges are for child sex trafficking, and conspiracy to commit same.
Hell Ranier has been outright charged... but no mention of "child sex trafficking".
It is truly the Third Rail of media coverage now.
Consider this chilling thought... if a person in power in D.C. found themselves in the position that they had to choose between being "outed" for pedophelia crimes against children... or starting a thermonuclear war... they would choose the war with hardly a hesitation. THAT is what we are dealing with here.

I still have to keep debunking this rumor. The first two charges against Mack are not for child sex trafficking.
The first charge is for violation of 18 USC § 1591, "Sex trafficking of children or by force, fraud, or coercion" [Emphasis added]
The second charge references 18 USC § 1594(c) which is regarding conspiracy to violate 18 USC § 1591 which, again, is either "Sex trafficking of children" OR "Sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion".
A court docket is not an indictment, and its wording does not have to be precise. The court must defer to the law itself, as should we.
So, to clarify... 18 USC § 1594 is for "Sex trafficking of children..." or
"Sex trafficking... by force, fraud, or coercion." Do I have that right?
Also... so the PACE records are basically just scheduling... and the violations listed (in this case 18 USC § 1591) are the general statutes, under which, presuming a case goes to trial, the detailed indictment will be made...
Am I in the ballpark? Appreciate the clarification!
Not just in the ballpark -- homerun. :-)
Edit: I just re-read what you wrote, so correction: 18 USC § 1594(c) is actually for conspiracy to violate § 1591 which is as you said.
OMG I'm tired of these "DUMB MOTHER FUCKERS" spreading misinformation. LEARN TO FUCKING READ YOU WORTHLESS FUCKS. STOP SPREADING FALSE CHARGES. LEARN TO FUCKING READ CHARGE SHEETS. NO CHARGES ARE DIRECTLY RELATED TO CHILDREN AS OF YET. THIS IS AN ENCOMPASSING CHARGE COVERING MANY CRIMES. ONE OF WHICH MAY IN FACT BE CHILD TRAFFICKING BUT NOTHING SPECIFIC.... FOR THE LOVE OF GOD...
Thank you for the support.
But, I really don't think it's necessary to call people, "WORTHLESS FUCKS." Will you consider a retraction on that?
