Ghislaine Maxwell is refusing to cooperate with the Epstein investigation unless her twenty years behind bars is reduced.

The disgraced socialite and convicted sex trafficker invoked her Fifth Amendment right in response to every question asked during a deposition before the House Oversight Committee on Monday.

Representative James Comer of Kentucky, said a lawyer for Maxwell, who appeared virtually from a prison in Texas, told lawmakers in his opening statement that Maxwell ‘would answer questions if she were granted clemency.’

In an earlier social media post, her lawyer David Oscar Markus said Maxwell was ‘prepared to speak fully and honestly if granted clemency by President Trump.’

Ghislaine Maxwell refusing to answer Epstein questions unless she is given clemency

Duh. Like anyone thought she wouldnt take the 5th.

Actually, if they really wanted to mess with her, give her Use Immunity. Then if she still refuses to testify, she gets held in contempt and has to leave her cushy prison cell for a local gaol until she testifies.

Why are they willing to believe anything a paedophile says? Desperation maybe.

Lot's of fake Epstein videos of Trump on social media currently, especially Instagram, gullible people probably believe them

Yes it's tough to tell the real from the fakes these days based upon social media posts.

Like that crying Levy-Armstrong AI photo.

AI Gemini on use Immunity

Who Grants It: Primarily prosecutors (District Attorneys or U.S. Attorneys) but requires authorization from a court.

Method: Prosecutors apply for a court order to compel testimony after a witness invokes their Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination.

NB so not up to Comer

Also Monday, and directly related, was a chance for members of Congress to visit the DoJ and review unredacted documents from the Epstein Files. Congresspeople such as Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie visited the special room at DoJ....only to find the documents had not been un-redacted.

Every unredacted file was supposed to be provided to Congress by 19 December 2025. Monday was 9 February 2026.

No explanation was given for why DoJ has failed to comply with the law. Apparently the so-called Department of Justice is above the law.

Obviously the DoJ is hiding material they are bound by law to release.

For an Administration and President who incessantly insists "it's time to move on from Epstein", they sure are making it more difficult. One could be forgiven for thinking they have things to hide, as it takes time to go through upwards of 7 million documents, videos and photos that might implicate truly bad people.

The DoJ and this Administration look as if they want us to believe Epstein had homes, planes, an island and trafficked hundreds of girls for illicit purposes over multiple decades, but absolutely nobody knew and nobody else engaged in any inappropriate behavior. He also had upwards of a billion dollars net worth, and absolutely nobody has any clue where any of his wealth came from. Yes, nothing to see here, so long as black magic markers are in abundance.

And now we have a convicted human trafficker who says that---in exchange for dropping her 20 year prison sentence---she will give a clean bill of health, especially to the one person on Zeus' green Earth who can pardon her.

Epstein was taken out as he knew too much while in custody. My bet is the same will happen to her.

Do a live televised hearing and call all of the "redacted men" to testify under oath. It would be the biggest ratings ever and Trump could perhaps run some ads selling meme coins, chinese bibles, and autographed tee shirts of him with epstein. Make bigly money while taking the 5th or claiming he barely knew epstein and all those statements on tape of him grabbing em by the P and how much he liked to "inspect" naked young girls at his paegents are all fake.

Never in history have innocent people gone to such lengths to hide an investigation. For all except the most maga of maga you might conclude that just maybe a lot of rich powerful people are hiding something...and yes some will be Dems and some will be Repubs....which seems fine with most dems but a giant no no for repubs.

Stop the presses! Are you saying rich guys pay for sex with young girls?

Where was the Dem outrage when Obama and Biden were in office and their DOJs had possession of the millions of documents and tens of thousands of hours of video?

Please do NOT use MAGA deflection scams to derail the discussion.

It’s a cheap trick that everyone now recognizes.

They should be. Why didn't they release the files?

Or, more to the point, where was the Dem and lefty outrage when they chose not to?

You said "Actually, if they really wanted to mess with her" and the person messing with her now is Comer.

Old Donne is a dirty boy no doubt about that,now getting that expert evader of justice and scofflaw into court is another matter entirely.especially now when he has the presidential seal to cower behind.sad

It is true. As well, Jesus' name does not appear as often in the bible as 47's name appears in the Epstein file.

At this point, just how the hell can anyone still support this felon?

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that unlike trumps DOJ Biden and Obama followed the law?

The Epstein case was an open criminal investigation during the Biden administration, Miami Herald investigative reporter Julie K. Brown explained on social media. Brown’s extensive reporting since 2017 has shone a light on the crimes of Epstein and his longtime accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. Her book about Epstein, titled “Perversions of Justice,” is a New York Times bestseller.

“They had an open grand jury. … And even after Maxwell’s conviction, the case was on appeal — anyone in law enforcement knows you don’t open your case file when it’s still under appeal,” Brown added.

Sharing evidence from an open criminal case is generally discouraged and often illegal or a breach of court rules, particularly if it involves protected disclosure materials, violates privacy rights, or prejudices the trial. While some material may become public in open court, sharing sensitive, unverified, or restricted evidence can result in charges of contempt of court.

Victims were still going to the FBI with information during Biden’s term, but that changed when President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice reviewed the files and closed the case in July, Brown said.

Gallons and gallons of Kool Aide. You do as you are instructed by Dear Leader , refuse to believe your own eyes ears "brain". Dear Leader can do no wrong and to question him means no more kool aide.

I imagine that the administration could decide to give her a pardon in return for her help. I imagine her smiling as she walks out of prison a free woman with a book publication deal. Then, as she is crossing the road to her car BAM! run over and killed in a car accident.

That's a good story. I'd stick to that one.

Her lawyer has openly declared that she will exonerate Trump if he grants her a pardon! 😂

Ghislaine Maxwell Says She Won’t Cooperate Until Trump Pa...

Jeffrey Epstein’s accomplice was deposed by Congress—and she pleaded the Fifth Amendment.

Legally, taking the fifth does not imply guilt...

BUT

“If you’re not guilty of a crime, what do you need immunity for?” Donald Trump misunderstanding pleading the fifth with immunity.

"The mob takes the Fifth. If you're innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?" Donald Trump.

THEN....

Trump invokes Fifth Amendment nearly 450 times in N.Y. AG’s civil probe of his business practices https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/trump-deposed-ny-ag-civil-probe-business-practices-rcna42355

Ghislane knows as much as Epstein himself. Pardoned and released from prison, she will be dead within 48 hours. It will be classified as "suicide". She simply knows too much.

Perhaps a deal will be struck- tell all you know, except about Donald, and you're on your way.

A change of identity, cosmetic surgery, and a change of country, could see her on the beach at Phuket, a place she has visited, in no time.
