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!

“Be careful what you wish for, for you shall surely get it.”
“Be careful what you wish for, for you shall surely get it.”
I hope Blumenthal’s name is somewhere on Epstein’s ‘list’.
Now Democrats are suddenly sweating like an OnlyFans producer in church.“
Good one and spot on. The rats are sweating. The “news” outlets thought they had Trump in vice with Epstein now it looks like Trump has weaponized it.
Sometimes, when playing chess, a player can become so aggressive, when on the verge of winning, they miss the wide-open checkmate they’re vulnerable to.
The left is so focused on trying to destroy Trump they completely forgot about what she knows.
Interesting. Thanks for posting. Truth? I (we) can handle it.
Right next to Sheldon Whitehouse, an even larger caliber rectal aperture.
I don’t have cable anymore but I imagine they’re losing their minds over at MSNBC.
It’s probably too late to arrange an ‘accident’ for Ms. Maxwell, as she’s already spilled the beans. I hope her security is wide awake and tight in any event.
I would like to know if blanche drafted or help draft the the sweetheart deal in 2008. He apparently was a junior prosecutor under Acosta
Reminds me of those pull string firecrackers. I attached a long string on one and dragged it across the room. Cat thought it was a moused chased it into a hole. Then I set it off. Cat did a backwards summersault.
Trump wants them totally focused just like the cat b4 he sets things off.
Great article!

Excellent analogy!
The Democrats just did their typical demagogue moves against Trump like sharks in a feeding frenzy because there is blood in the water.
The new ranking member of the House Oversight Committee actually voted with the Republicans to release all evidence in the Epstein case .
This is amazing given that the Epstein affair is a major scandal and huge risk mainly for the Democrats.
Obviously, the Democrats had some set up some trap for Trump with manufactured evidence against Trump combined with the destruction of evidence damaging to Democrats by Democrat operatives under the direction of Comey's daughter while she controlled the documents.
Hose Oversight Committee Chairman Comer was absolutely stunned and overjoyed that the Ranking Democrat on the committees delivered the bi partisan votes needed to pass the Epstein disclosure resolution.
This may be one of the biggest unforced errors in recent political history because Trump seems to have out maneuvered them and flipped the script. .
Not sure if Trump was smart or just lucky to have such morons for enemies on their one but the Epstein issue is going to big deal in a bad way for Democrats.
I wonder if Flopping Aces got permission from Jeff Childers to copy his work that was originally published on his Coffee & CoVid website.

The entire article is full of good wordsmithing.
And Democrats are appalled that he wrote such tripe.
Unless these pass any evidence over to a truly independent third party, anything coming out of this will be poisoned.
I imagine the good evidence is already destroyed. I would imagine what was really left over was destroyed the day we bombed the Iranian labs.
The people involved were part of a small club. We are not in it. And they don’t care about us. We will NEVER know the truth and their abhorrent behavior will continue.
The best you can do is to keep an eye on your young daughters and pray they never meet these people.
I don’t understand why she is still alive.
James O’Keefe gone underground in fear of his life after Benny Johnson posted just two of his Epstein Island videos. (Benny Johnson has been silent on him of late as well). I haven’t seen anything of O’Keefe on the internet but maybe someone else has...
Epstein. Dead.
Virginia Roberts. Royal Family paid her millions after it came out she was trafficked to their Prince Andrew. Now she is Dead.
Piers Morgan had Kevin Spacey on for an interview. In it Spacey revealed Bill Clinton on the plane with a lot of little girls.
So first Pam Bondi gave Social influencers the first of a series of binders with Epstein info. That was a big dud.
Secondly, on a Sunday night when they thought no one was looking, Pam Bondi issued the memo basically saying no client list, no files, we are done. Set the base into a rage filled week with Megan Kelly and others wanting Bondi’s head.
So what happens next. All of a sudden this one woman, the Madam to Epstein’s sex trade is of interest. She wants to talk. She gets to talk. For TWO Days. To the Deputy DOJ.
She comes out with 100 names and a big, tub of who the heck knows what.
So why is she still alive? Who did she give up? Who is protected? Who is protecting her? How will the Dems and Rinos spin this? Her being a felon wanting a pardon wont fly, especially if she can back up her claims with documents from that big tub.
