No administration has ever sent a Deputy AG to a correction facility

to interview a convicted sexual predator who was friends with a powerful man let alone a sitting president.
When the dust settles a lot of folks will be disbarred. This is beyond corruption and vulgarity.

This scandal is not going away. Keep climbing monkeys. The higher monkey climb, the more he exposes himself.

“Browbeat” isn’t the right word. She has the upper hand and I presume will tell Blanche what she wants in return for silence.

The only question is whether she implicates Traitor’s enemies. If she’s smart, and I presume she is, she will refuse to mention anyone else or her potential enemies who might want her dead will become much more motivated to see the deed done.

We have a 'president' with 34 felony convictions calling his predecessor treasonous and NO ONE is calling for him to step down.

My prediction is a pardon and a private jet out of the country 10 minutes later.

Get Maxwell to lie for her pardon (and safety), by saying "Trump who?" and then name some Democrats and Hollywood types. The media will go wild with this information from a convicted sex offender, then the White House and congress will say there is no reason to release the Epstein files as "the truth has been revealed!!"

MAGATs will be happy because there will be new people to lynch.
Maxwell will be made into some kind of perverse victim/right-wing folk hero, earning her a pardon from Krasnov.
She will disappear abroad and then write a book.

Hey, maybe she can get her own FOX talk show?

Haven't they already fired the prosecutors who went after Epstein and Maxwell originally? Is the Trump admin. charging them with anything yet?

No doubt they somehow trampled Maxwell's rights to the tune of a few million taxpayer dollars.

The corruption is in your face and they can no longer be bothered to even hide it. What would be shocking would be if they didn't offer and make a corrupt deal.
