Ghislaine Maxwell is on Pardon Watch

[Chomper Higgot]

There is a lot of speculation that Ghislaine Maxwell is angling for a pardon, the Deputy AG meeting with Maxwell only adds to it.

 

What do think, should Trump Pardon Ghislaine Maxwell?

[blaze master]

She needs to testify in front of congress preferably on live TV. Anything less is a clown show.

No. 

 

Congress can't get access to the Grand Jury material obtained in the two cases against Epstein. Congress is not the place as it will descend into horrendous hyperpartisan grandstanding. I'd prefer a televised retrial.

 

As for a pardon - Trump should just leave his keys at the door if he does that. Not a chance he should pardon her. No chance, never.

Never say never.

If they have nothing on Epstein then her conviction should be vacated.

I don't agree. Get her back into court and televise it. Viewing figures,would rival the OJ Simpson trial.

No, unless what is in the Epstein files, publically available with no retractions hiding names or information,  exonerates her.

I say never to this one. As for Congress - I watched the Kavanaugh hearing live - it was horrendous with constant interruptions. Very, very bad idea to put her in front of politicians.

If the world wants some more stories of DJT and Epstein then by pardoning her we know she won't add anything but if he doesn't pardon her then she will probably tell some stories of visits.

[theshu25]

All she has to say is that  the con grifter  was always a good boy,she will be out next week. If she says Trump was involved in shenanigans.she will never ever see the light of day again.

[Callmeishmael]

As long as she says the 'right' things, she will be pretty much guaranteed a pardon!.

Live TV would be the common factor. Lets have this all out for everyone to see.

[JAG]

I suppose it is all down to what his "advisors" recommend - and they have put up an absolutely stellar performance in the last couple of weeks!

[bamnutsak]

A slap in the face of the hundreds/thousands of victims. But then they always come last.

 

I would think the trump MAGA MORON Cultists would go nuts if the one person convicted (Epstein pleaded out) were given a pardon.

 

And this will make the MAGA Cultists look weak, lame as they've been clamoring for "full transparency". (Mike Johnson)

No client list, no crime.

 

Let her out before someone suicides her. 

[phetphet]

It's not a matter of what we think. It depends on if there is real evidence that Trump was involved in Epstein's sexual dealings with young girls, and if she knows where it is, and is willing to testify and reveal it. Real evidence. Although her word alone might do real damage, it's only hard evidence that might finish him.

 

Even more so than the Jan 6 rioters, he will be keen to find a way to free her if she indeed knows where the skeletons are hidden.

Does this pithy comment apply to all alleged crimes/criminals?

 

She was convicted by a jury.

 

 

Statement Of U.S. Attorney Damian Williams On The Verdict In U.S. V. Ghislaine Maxwell

 

“A unanimous jury has found Ghislaine Maxwell guilty of one of the worst crimes imaginable – facilitating and participating in the sexual abuse of children.  Crimes that she committed with her long-time partner and co-conspirator, Jeffrey Epstein. The road to justice has been far too long.  But, today, justice has been done.  I want to commend the bravery of the girls – now grown women – who stepped out of the shadows and into the courtroom.  Their courage and willingness to face their abuser made this case, and today’s result, possible. I also want to thank the career prosecutors of the Southern District of New York, who embraced the victims’ quest for justice and have worked tirelessly, day in and day out, to ensure that Maxwell was held accountable for her crimes. This Office will always stand with victims, will always follow the facts wherever they lead, and will always fight to ensure that no one, no matter how powerful and well connected, is above the law.”

Ghislaine Maxwell Sentenced To 20 Years In Prison For Conspiring With Jeffrey Epstein To Sexually Abuse Minors

Just to note, the Maxwell Supreme Court appeal is not about the crimes for which she was convicted but a procedural matter as to whether she was covered by the 2007 non-prosecute (NPA) agreement in Florida.

[HappyExpat57]

The White House is painfully aware of the disaster this has become. They can't control this narrative in spite of throwing out everything they can think of from their old playbook. I mean, c'mon - accusing Obama of treason?

 

The word is out that no one can speak publicly about Epstein without extreme vetting. Even though there are so few functional brain cells amonst the lot, they realize a pardon would be a bridge too far.

She was a scapegoat.

 

"Look over there everyone. There's the bad guy (girl). Now shut up about who she was actually acquiring them for because they are our mates".

 

She deserves a jail sentence but 20 years was ridiculous, especially given that the fact the "victims" have subsequently proven to be totally unreliable. Guiffre for example was clearly a willing participant who was paid at the time and then saw the opportunity for a massive payday decades later and took it. 

 

In my opinion time served is enough. Pardon her.

Are you for real? A real living specimen? This is misguided for any normal living person. Her conviction rests on specific, proven acts, not unproven conspiracies. Epstein’s 2008 plea deal and death don’t negate the evidence against her, as courts have repeatedly upheld.

[KhaoHom]

Seems to me she should simply mount an appeal. she doesn't have to give up any names or confirm anything. It appears that she was convicted on much of nothing.

 

This is the problem with these human trafficking bull<deleted> laws. RICO can be abused unmercifully as well as just general conspiracy charges. I know nothing about the case but I'll guarantee that she was convicted on the flimsiest of evidence and it's basically some large overarching Grand conspiracy bullshi+

 

Certainly she doesn't want to testify before congress. That will be an absolute circus.

I've read of the possibility in the press. I don't recall where. Was just one article.

Can you provide some short evidence of this? I'm not asking to dig at you I'm seriously looking for evidence to this effect. I also believe it was some Grand overarching bull shi+ conspiracy nonsense.

 

There is definitely evidence in the public domain that she was grooming the individuals.

 

Thanks
