A former aide to Attorney General Pam Bondi said Thursday that the president is scheming up a “hidden pardon” deal with Maxwell, which would have her say he participated in no wrongdoing with Epstein, the sex offender who died in prison in 2019 amid new charges of sex trafficking.

Dave Aronberg, Bondi’s drug czar when she was Florida’s attorney general, told CNN Thursday that there could be in the works “a deal with Ghislaine Maxwell that she would get some immunity now and maybe a hidden pardon in the future: some sort of implication that she would be pardoned in the future if she comes out and says that the president was... not involved in any criminal activity.”

I'm no detective or former drug Czar for Pam Bondi, but I too suspect that they are probably going to do the most obvious and blatantly corrupt thing they could possibly do.

Aronberg also voiced suspicions of Blanche conducting the interview with Maxwell, given his close history with Trump as his former attorney.

Probably me next week when he's gotten away with it once again, and we're just supposed to continue pretending this is all normal:

He always gets away with it. I'm so fucking tired of this.

[–] Duranie@leminal.space 40 points 3 days ago

Bonus points - she throws some left leaning Democrat "friendly" under the bus at the same time, creating a bigger distraction. "Trump did nothing wrong, but take a look at what THIS guy did over here..."

Don't get me wrong, all the guilty in this mess need to burn. All of them. Whoever they are or wherever they're from, it doesn't matter. But I can absolutely see them cherry picking the right flavor of guilty person to take the heat off of Trump for the time being.

“a deal with Ghislaine Maxwell that she would get some immunity now and maybe a hidden pardon in the future: some sort of implication that she would be pardoned in the future if she comes out and says that the president was... not involved in any criminal activity.”

There will be no need for a pardon in the future, as soon as she gives a list without Trump or his allies on it she'll be found suicided the next day. Can't risk her growing a conscience and telling a different story later.

...they relly seem to want to start some sort of rage, don't they...

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 100 points 3 days ago (5 children)

Something has always bothered me about her. Not the fact that she was probably witness and participated in the rape and abuse of the girls.

But how she got into the picture.

Not to mention, she had her own environmental non-profit (clearly a front) that took all sorts of money for international waters (you know, the implication).

Her father was found dead "having fell off his yacht." Then his businesses collapsed, ultimatelty it was discovered he embezzled hundreds of millions of pounds($$).

But more importantly, is that he was suspected to be a triple agent tied to the U.S., Israel, and by none other than Russia. Which, is awfully strange considering Trump's ties to Russia, and the US ties with Israel.

She, herself, grew up amongst incredible wealth. Why would she need to be the recruiter for Epstein? Why would she be madly in love with him, or be his assistant? Apparently she was one to have "organized his life."

When her father died, she was left with an £80k/yr income and lived in New York City and was pretty much just a socialite. In 1991, £80k/yr still wasn't that impressive for NYC. Her father had also introduced Maxwell to Epstein. She would have been in her 20s. Then they "broke up." But remained extremely close.

Russia, Israel, US. Trump, Maxwell, Epstein. The wealthiest and most powerful knew her and despite her lost wealth, kept her around. Why would they do that?

Easy - she had the ability to coerce girls into being raped. She probably plays a huge part in this, and if I had to guess, Trump and friends want her free because of what she can do for them. They would have killed her already if she had less value.

Well that's all pretty fucking grim isn't it

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 10 points 2 days ago

My therapist calls it anxiety or catastrophic thinking.

I call it pattern recognition, annoyingly powerful imagination, and limited prescience.

It's her script. A lot to research and learn

A lot to memorize. And practice until it appears like truth.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 79 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Wait she left the prison for this? They brought a felon out of jail to have an interview at the Department of Justice? They didn't go to her? That's so fucking weird.

[–] tankplanker@lemmy.world 94 points 3 days ago

No having to sign in on the prison log, no being on the cameras, far easier to hide who she spoke to, especially if it was on the phone to Donnie while she was out

[–] bigfondue@lemmy.world 24 points 3 days ago

Yea Bill Barr went to the Manhattan prison where Epstein was himself.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Probably brought her into a SCIFF. They are up to some shady shit.

“The Department of Justice will share additional information about what we learned at the appropriate time,” Blanche, President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney, said in a statement on X.

Here are all of the Epstein Files that have either been leaked or released.

Trump’s name is circled. The circled individuals are the ones involved in the trafficking ring according to the person who originally released the book. These people would be “The List “ Here is the story.

I hope he's dumb enough to pardon her.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You would hope an action like that would lead to impeachment and jail.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 44 points 3 days ago (1 children)

A boat is just a boat. But a mystery box could be anything. It could even be a boat! You know how much she's been wanting one of those!

[–] Chee_Koala@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago

It could be two boats!

[–] Mamdani_Da_Savior@lemmy.world 30 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Absolutely bonkers, he's going try to pardon a pedo to avoid being convicted of being a pedo himself.

[–] MisterOwl@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

"Try"? Of course he will.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 2 days ago

thats why the propaganda arm of msm, is trying to astroturf and sanewash this whole situation.

Honest question, how is this whole thing not witness tampering?

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 24 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I think because it's the state doing it.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago

Exactly. When we do it, it’s a crime. When the regime does it, it suddenly cute.

[–] zarathustra0@lemmy.world 20 points 3 days ago (1 children)

IIRC she's been documenting everything on paper whilst she's been in prison. I suspect it's so that they can make this evidence 'disappear'.

[–] rozodru@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

then why let her leave with it? hell why let her leave at all? I mean don't they have windows that are fairly high up at the DOJ?

She's valuable to them.

It's not exactly easy for 70 year old well known billionaires to walk anywhere and ask 15 year olds to hang out with them and get raped.

She's always been a socialite. She knows how to get people to do things, and the rest of the elite know she has skills they don't - namely she can get them girls they couldn't otherwise obtain, and she wouldn't say shit about it. She's been doing it for decades, and I imagine when she was imprisoned a lot of powerful men were very upset.

Are there others that could do it? Probably. But finding someone to do that, and then trusting them enough to not squeel? She's been in prison, and when she was on the stand, she said nothing - read the court transcripts, she controlled her whole narrative.

[–] Substance_P@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago

They probably gave her that to prepare for her second day of questioning.

[–] ComradeRachel@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If Trump pardons her then I really hope more of his base turns against him.

Those are the files with alternative facts for her to study and memorize

[–] Part4@infosec.pub 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

No idea what is going on here but maybe she was just moved location for a few days and carried with her a few changes of clotehes etc.

Edit - I am not claiming there isn't a conspiracy happening. Just that maybe the white box of shit a convict carries from one location to the other might not be it.

If there is a bigger conspiracy do not be distracted by a white fucking box.

Maybe she was gifted a rope or a knife so that she can surprisingly make the Epstein-move in custody? Not that we were surprised though… 🤷🏼‍♂️

I am guessing it is a bust of Trumps penis.
