Former Jeffrey Epstein attorney Alan Dershowitz lobbied then-President Donald Trump to pardon madam Ghislaine Maxwell before she could face trial, according to a report.

The 83-year-old lawyer — himself long accused of having sex with one of late pedophile Epstein’s teen accusers — pushed for the pardon after UK media heiress Maxwell was arrested in July 2020 for the sex-trafficking crimes she was convicted of last month, the Times of London said.

The retired Harvard law professor was able to use his close ties to Trump, whom he also represented during his impeachment trial, the paper said.

One of the convicted madam’s brothers, Ian Maxwell, 65, confirmed to the UK paper that he had discussed the possibility of clemency with Dershowitz, who got Epstein his controversial wrist-slap 2008 plea deal on sex offenses with underage girls. ...

Since suicide by hanging in her cell might look suspicious, maybe Biden will pardon her....which would be precede Arkancide.

The people that lived the longest when it came to Arkanside
were the ones who did go public. It was the ones with info
that hadn’t leaked yet who went toes up.

Personally, I think they should have tried to get stuff out of her in exchange for a pardon and witness protection.

Yeah, that wasn't happening.

Here is what happens to ALL evidence in that case:

‘We brought a saw’: FBI found diamonds, cash, passports, CDs and hard drives after cracking open safe in 2019 raid on Epstein’s Upper East Side townhouse

FBI "cleaner" Maguire, a member of an FBI Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force, testified Monday that her team found the safe in a dressing room on the building's fifth floor. The mansion had forty rooms and took about 12 hours for her team to fully search.

Asked by a prosecutor at the trial whether the safe was open, Maguire answered: "We brought a saw." Prosecutors showed jurors and members of the public a photo of the safe, dragged by FBI agents to the middle of the dressing room. The hard drives Maguire said were found inside were piled on top of it. It also held jewelry, diamonds, CDs, and multiple passports, Maguire testified.

Maguire said that the scope of the search warrant didn't permit the agents to seize the hard drives and CDs, so she left them atop the safe.

When she got a broader warrant and returned to retrieve them, they were gone...

Imagine that...

Sure they are, just not for the purpose of serving justice. Evidence that can be used to "influence" powerful people is extremely valuable. The entire point of Epstein's operation was to be able to hold this info over people's heads. Now the CIA, FBI and DOJ wield that influence.

You sure?

“Lost” has a little different meaning to the FBI than to you or I...

Dershowitz will meet in a dark bar in near bankrupt New York City entering through the back door with a hoodie on.

He will then sit down in a booth and chat with Hunter. Hunter offers to get her a pardon for 2 million. Prince Andrew washes 2 million through several people/entities to Hunter. Ghislaine is walking the streets again.
