Nobody saw this coming. I mean nobody. Yesterday, the Times ran another electrifying story headlined, “After Ghislaine Maxwell Interview, Concerns Mount Over Possibility of a Trump Pardon.” Pardon concerns mount! In the passive voice! By themselves!
Yesterday, in the warm, cozy, Sunshine State climate, “Todd Blanche, Attorney General Pam Bondi’s top deputy, concluded a second extraordinary day of interviews with Ms. Maxwell,” the article explained.
In other words, after years of Biden Administration stonewalling (and file padding), Ghislaine Maxwell got a two-day DOJ interview faster than Little Caesars could deliver a jailhouse pizza. And not just any random DOJ interviewer, either. They didn’t send some junior prosecutor with a legal pad who used to work for Maurene Comey.
They sent Trump’s former personal defense attorney turned Deputy Attorney General— the DOJ’s second in command.
Comparing it to a deposition, two days of DOJ interviews requires at least four days of prep time. In other words, DOJ’s number two cleared his calender for this. It wasn’t an interview; it was a mission.
Democrats, who ten minutes ago were pounding podiums demanding full transparency of the carefully curated Biden FBI files, were shocked to discover that Trump has another untainted source of information— Ghislaine Maxwell, chilling in a Florida prison like a long-forgotten, sealed box in the bottom of the evidence locker.
Now Democrats are suddenly sweating like an OnlyFans producer in church.
“The Blanche-Maxwell discussion,” the Times soberly reported, “has stoked concerns from critics of Mr. Trump that he may grant Ms. Maxwell a reprieve.” (Unnamed critics, of course.)
Ghislaine is unspoiled evidence. Astonishingly, no one had ever bothered interviewing her before. Not during the original Epstein investigation, not during her trial, not during five years of media blackout, strategic amnesia, and hot-potato footwork with the Epstein client list. And now, after she spilled the tea for ten hours over two days to Trump’s former lawyer turned top DOJ official, suddenly it’s a constitutional crisis.
Maxwell’s lawyer, David Markus, said DOJ officials had “asked about every possible thing imaginable.” Todd Blanche asked Maxwell about over 100 named individuals, and she dished the dirt. Markus said his client “answered every single question asked of her over the last day and a half.” Uh oh.
It was the most hilariously ironic twist yet. Late yesterday, reporters (obviously primed by someone) demanded to know whether Trump would pardon Maxwell in exchange for her testimony. President Trump, classically noncommital, replied, “I’m allowed to do it, but it’s something I haven’t thought about.”
Democrats are losing their minds. Senate minority leader Chuck “Chuckie” Schumer wildly speculated it was “some kind of a corrupt deal so that she can exonerate Donald Trump.” A lone protester (haha!) at the courthouse, Lisa Lloyd, 64, told rapt Times reporters, “This is wrong. Anyone who is concerned with justice should be appalled by this.”
The reporters didn’t get the pardon idea from Trump, Todd Blanche, or Maxwell’s lawyer. “We haven’t spoken to the president or anybody about a pardon just yet,” Markus said. “The president this morning said he had the power to do so. We hope he exercises that power.”
So let’s add this up. First, Democrats demand full transparency. Then, as soon as Trump sends DOJ’s second-in-command to find the facts, they started rioting like caged rhesus monkeys who just found out the banana shipment got rerouted to El Paso and incinerated. A pardon would be a travesty of justice!
Reporters sure have short memories. What about Biden’s pardons? That was what, less than 12 months ago? Remember that aging but remarkably spry human cockroach, Fauci? Or Biden’s entire family? Or the grotesque January 6th Committee— none of whom refused their pardons in principle?
Apart from Epstein himself —who is currently unavailable due to an unfortunate mishap of being suicided in a poorly run, high-security federal facility in New York— there is no better witness on Earth than Ghislaine Maxwell. Maxwell might even be better than Epstein.
As Miami Herald investigative reporter Julie K. Brown has said many times, man-baby Epstein never did anything for himself. No. Maxwell did it for him.
Epstein was the front of the house. Maxwell was the kitchen, the accounting department, and the security system. She holds the map, the manifest, and —most importantly— the motive. This is exactly why the political class is panicking. Because it wasn’t just an airy, high-level interview. This was an authorized data download from the last living hard drive, carefully preserved in a Florida (not New York) prison.
The reason they are floating the pardon issue is simple: they’re desperately trying to discredit Ghislaine Maxwell before her testimony surfaces. It’s narrative preemption—classic information warfare. If she names someone inconvenient, say, Chuck Schumer, the response is already baked into the narrative custard: She only said that to get herself out of prison!

Does she know about that ? Pardon, immunity, ok, let’s go a few rounds of waterboarding as a beginning , just to make sure you don’t start making stuff up.
If you lie, you die.
Four of Max’s Little Helpers that got away with it , granted immunity .
At #41, you stated, "BTW with good behavior her earliest possible release date is early 2034." That was your actual claim.
The full 20 years from 2020 is 2040. Her BoP estimated release date is in 2037. The BoP date includes the maximum 1080 days for Good Behavior. You have never attempted to explain the bogus 2034 date, but it is obvious that you double counted the Good Conduct Time.
Your most recently invoked Second Chance Act would have no application to Ghislaine Maxwell at all. She did not provide her assistance within one year of her sentence being announced on June 28, 2022.
For Maxwell, providing assistance more than a year after sentencing, she qualifies only if the defendant's substantial assistance involved: (A) information not known to the defendant until one year or more after sentencing;" or "(C) information the usefulness of which could not reasonably have been anticipated by the defendant until more than one year after sentencing."
The Second Change Act does not provide eligible prisoners a release from their sentence. It allows them to serve the last months of it at a halfway house or home detention. Ghislane Maxwell is not eligible anyway.
In any case, she would be disqualified from eligibility for almost all programs anyway because she was a violent offender. Her victims suffered violence as a result of her actions.
What comes through your postings is your massive ego and narcissism. That overwhelms any facts you may say. You know nothing about the future. You may be right today, and wrong tomorrow, isn’t that right? I can easily concede a point or two. But isn’t it true that for you to do that would be such a psychological blow you may have to hold your boyfriend tighter tonight? Would it be correct to say that you are heavily invested in thinking of yourself as a superior being when compared to others? Isn’t that right sir?
Keep following me. You’ll learn.

That was and remains bullshit. You yet to attempt to cite and quote any provision of any law that would sustain your bullshit claim that "with good behavior her earliest possible release date is early 2034."
With good behavior, her earliest possible release date is July 17, 2037. That reflects the maximum accrual of 1080 days off a 20 year sentence for good behavior while incarcerated.

Release Date: 07/17/2037
We are not discussing when she might get out with a Presidential Pardon or Commutation of Sentence. We are discussing you being a purveyor of bullshit about when she might get for good behavior.
You have yet to explain how her earliest possible release date is early 2034. You have yet to explain how you bypass the 85% rule to gain her over six years off a 20 year sentence based on good behavior.
But do prattle on.
