Last month, the Department of Justice’s response to the Jeffrey Epstein saga culminated in an incredibly bizarre move: The Federal Bureau of Prisons transferred a convicted sex offender to a minimum security prison. The special treatment given by the Trump administration to Ghislaine Maxwell is a travesty of justice. It also suggests only one conclusion: A rotten deal between Trump’s DOJ and Epstein’s accomplice to keep quiet in exchange for preferential treatment.
The treatment is, ultimately, not surprising, given how the Trump administration has handled Maxwell in recent months. From her private meeting with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, a former Trump defense lawyer, to her abrupt transfer to a cushy minimum-security prison, everything about the Trump administration’s conduct appears designed to shield Trump from fallout in the Epstein sex scandal, which involved more than 1,000 victims.
This favoritism would have been difficult to imagine even a few years ago. On Dec. 29, 2021, a federal jury found Maxwell guilty of five felony counts, including conspiracy to transport minors with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, transportation of a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, and sex trafficking of a minor. On June 28, 2022, she was sentenced to 20 years in jail and a fine of $750,000.
didn’t read but I assume the conclusion is Trump raped kids?

Trump said “I just wish her well, frankly.” after she had been convicted 5 felony accounts of sex crimes against underage girls.

Is it that Trump likes people who help him rape children?
And likes ‚em even more if they agree to perjure themselves for him?

This was so transparent from the beginning. Anyone paying attention knew exactly what he was doing.
Congrats MAGA, you support a pedophile. Actually, quite a few of them if you go down the roster of all the “conservatives” and right wing people who’ve been locked up for such
All that performative bs the last decade. Going after secret pizza parlors, the world is laughing at you. Where’s “Q” these days?

Seriously Sherlock? Wow. Had no idea Trump was a fraudster felon and child rapist!!! No one ever thought it was a cover up Mr Holmes!
Oh well what’s next? Our president wife is a gold digging prostitute controlled by the Russian?
Mmmmm

Calling it now: She somehow mysteriously riles up another inmate in the new prison and dies in a „tragic and unforeseeable“ accident after she says in an interview that Trump is definitely innocent of ever being involved with Epstein. This just so she can’t recant.

I suppose this is exactly what it looks like. He’s buying her silence. My question is, if she had information that would have spared her a 20 year sentence wouldn’t she have spilled it years ago? And what could she possibly have anyway? Her testimony would be completely worthless. And if there’s some kind of physical evidence, wouldn’t the FBI have already discovered that years ago?

Has the DOJ given ANY official reason for doing all this?!

She should avoid multistory buildings and just any window really.

Everything he does or says in regard to his long close friendship with Epstein shouts he is a twisted pedo.

I believe she actually has info on Trump and he put her in Texas to keep her from talking

She knows what he did and she is cutting a deal. If he was innocent he would have left her to rot and turned over all information. Pedophile trump
He is going to pardon her.

Uh that the tRump had made many wire transfers to Epstein. Or maybe tRump is in the files thousands of times. Known pedos are protecting known sex offender tRump.

~~Apparently~~ allegedly, she approached the Biden team with an offer to spill dirt on Trump in exchange for a parole. No doubt they also approached the Trump team with a price for her silence.
Are we forced to assume that the known rapist with a decades long friendship with a pedophile and who bragged about groping women and spying on underage girls in their changing room isn’t a good guy?

Silence. He bought her silence.
Until he is out of office. Then… the book comes out.

Trump is playing whackamole with the Epstein scandal. He suppresses the story in one place only to have it pop up in another. Maxwell is only one of the sources of information. He doesn’t know when the one that will cast the final blow will pop up. All he knows is that his time is running out and his flimsy diversions aren’t working anymore.
