Trump is making a deal with Ghislaine Maxwell to exonerate him and accuse his enemies

I’ve checked FoxNews.com repeatedly over the past week or so, and also looked at NewsMax.com. You have to scroll way, way down to see any Epstein stories. This is because they know their audience.

MAGA people, just like Trump-leaning swing voters, already know about Trump’s bad sexual history and don’t care. If they can forgive him for walking in on the Miss Teen dressing room, and for the grab her by the you know what, and for the porn star sex with a baby at home, and the payoff, they can forgive him for paying for sex with a mid-teens runaway decades in the past. Progressives think the latter is much worse, but MAGA types, not so much.

Trump’s vulnerability will come when economic damage, from tariffs, becomes much more serious than at present.

Maxwell seems to have been in jail or prison for just over five years. That already is a long time, so her being released won’t bother me. And I say that with no psychological need to make excuses for Trump’s misdeeds.

If she set Trump free of any doubt of wrongdoing and throws a few new misdeeders under bus the DOJ will agree with her appeal that she is protected under double jeopardy from 2008 and set her free time served! The MAGA coccus buy into this and blame the deep state underminer for all the smoke. JMO…This will not sit well with the center or Democrats….They will be all over till the midterms.

I wonder if trump pardoning her would leave her open to prosecution by a state AG. It wouldn’t be (aiui) double jeopardy.

No, he won’t…and I have heard this bullshit about almost every bad thing he has been a part of.
It just doesn’t work that way.

If there was a huge Republican list with Trump at the top then there would have been a stampede to bring this out when Biden was President.

If there wasn’t a huge Republican list, there wouldn’t be a huge Republican effort to hide the list until they could manipulate it.

Again, if it existed Biden would have pounced on it to keep Trump out of office.

What you see as a huge effort to hide a “list” lacks any evidence or logic that a list exists.

Any hope I had of MAGA turning against Trump evaporated in the wake of January 6, 2021. A lot of MAGAts will need to see themselves severely damaged by Trump’s policies and even then it’s not a sure thing. Trump could crap in a bowl and MAGA would eat it up, complaining all the while the Democrats made it taste bad, or the spoon was woke, or the bowl had pronouns.

If there was an attempt at a coup in, oh, I don’t know, January 2025, with a whole false electors plan and everything, the Biden administration surely would’ve gone after the people who orchestrated it, right? I guess that proves there was no violent coup attempt we all saw.

The democrats are massive pussies that never really go after republicans even when it’s their absolute duty to do so, and the democrats also protect the rich and powerful as much as the republicans do, and it’s highly unlikely they could go after the Epstein clients without going after the rich and powerful. Most likely there exist plenty of Epstein evidence that is being suppressed by both parties because it implicates their true masters.

I remember news reports that we found thousands of hours of video that we seized from Epstein and nothing ever came out of it. He has a blackmail den full of video feeds of people fucking kids, and no one ever made a peep. The corruption to protect the rich and powerful is bigger than the very minor and almost nonexistant tendency for democrats to go after republicans.

So, what’s the plan? Grab the rich and powerful, boil the flesh and gnaw on their skulls? Bounty hunting? Should I bring ketchup or just popcorn?

Relocate them to a massive farm where they could reap the benefits of sunshine and manual labor.

Someone needs to explain the definition of treason to Trump and his followers: “levying war against the United States or adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort”.

There was an op-ed piece in today’s Times that suggested that all they want from her is a promise of silence. The quid pro quo would be a pardon in Jan. 2029. I’m not sure this makes much sense, but I pass it on. Also I don’t know what happens if she gets a subpoena from congress in 2027. Although I cannot imagine this lasting so long.

“The US House speaker, Mike Johnson, said on Sunday he would have “great pause” about granting a pardon or commutation to Ghislaine Maxwell …”

Oh my, “great pause” he says. Where do they get these fuckers?

"Your honor, Mr. Obama has, on several occasions, advocated on behalf of the poors, contrary to the well-know fact that “The business of American is Business.”

“Guilty as charged!”

Do not expect good-faith rulings from these people.

From your link:

One interpretation is that a pardon could be considered, as could execution. None of these halfway measures.

Sure, but they can’t really apply an after the fact death penalty. (Yet.)
I’m sure Johnson will be quite concerned, after his pause, whatever happens.

Why do you think Trump is trying to hard to tamp down the Epstein story now, to the extent of cozying up to convicted sex offender Maxwell?

Be creative. Don’t limit yourself to the existence or nonexistence of a specific list. Trump’s trying to get ahead of something that Biden didn’t spill. What do you think it is, and why do you think Biden didn’t spill it?

I wonder if there is a mathematically finite number of ways “Ghislaine” can be pronounced. I hear a new one every day.

It’s French for “pimp”.
