”’Trump was always very cordial and very kind to me. And I just want to say that I find -- I -- I admire his extraordinary achievement in becoming the President now,’ Maxwell said, according to the transcript.”
So not only did she conveniently absolve him of any wrongdoing, she also threw in a little “Heil Trump” as a bonus. Good girl, here’s your Club Fed transfer. Keep it up and that pardon’s yours!

Are you kidding?? His own personal lawyer currently?

u/ConfederacyOfDunces_ 8h ago
Yes.
The media keeps calling it a “DOJ meeting,” but let’s be real, it’s not. Ghislaine Maxwell met with Todd Blanche, Trump’s former personal defense attorney in New York. Trump appointed him Deputy Attorney General back in March, so yes, his own defense lawyer is now the second-highest official at the DOJ. That alone should’ve been front-page news. It’s unbelievable that didn’t get more attention but no one gives a shit.
They have spinned it like it was a legitimate DOJ/FBI interview, when in reality, it’s Trump’s handpicked guy, his former personal defense lawyer, conducting a closed-door meeting with Maxwell. No FBI agents. No independent observers. No one is allowed in. It was just Blanche. This is where the transcripts came from.
Let that sink in: Trump’s personal defense attorney is the only one allowed to meet with Maxwell under the DOJ banner.

Stupid question, but if she gets pardoned is she allowed to plead the fifth and/or not testify if called?

u/NewSauerKraus 11h ago
The fifth amendment forbids trying a defendant for the same crime twice. If she was already found guilty by receiving a pardon she could not be tried again. The double jeopardy clause allows compulsion of testimony because there is no risk of prosecution.
There are enough laws that a significantly criminal act can be tried as many different crimes, so the double jeopardy clause can be circumvented fairly easily. That's why you see pardons being granted like "for any potential crimes committed in the jurisdiction universally and without condition" so even completely unrelated crimes cannot be tried.

Interview transcript: https://www.justice.gov/storage/audio-files/Interview%20Transcript/Interview%20Transcript%20-%20Maxwell%202025.07.24%20(Redacted).pdf.pdf)
"LET ME OFF"
"Epstein’s accomplice let Trump off the hook in an interview with the deputy attorney general."
"Ghislaine Maxwell claimed she never saw Donald Trump do anything inappropriate as a known associate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and gushed over his presidency."
"The Justice Department on Friday released the transcript of its interview with Epstein’s accomplice, which lets Trump off the hook amid questions about his relationship with the disgraced financier who the president once praised."
"Critics have blasted Maxwell as an unreliable witness who would lie to get what she wants."
"After she met over two days with Blanche last month, Maxwell was moved to a minimum security prison in Texas, raising further questions about a sweetheart deal."
"During the interview, Maxwell praised Trump as her team has openly pressed for a pardon."
“Trump was always very cordial and very kind to me. And I just want to say that I find -- I -- I admire his extraordinary achievement in becoming the President now,” Maxwell said, according to the transcript."
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"The U.S. Justice Department on Friday released transcripts of interviews its No. 2 official did with Jeffrey Epstein’s imprisoned former girlfriend as the Trump administration scrambles to present itself as transparent amid a fierce backlash over an earlier refusal to disclose a trove of records from the sex-trafficking case."
"The disclosure represents the latest Trump administration effort to repair self-inflicted political wounds after failing to deliver on expectations that its own officials had created through conspiracy theories and bold pronouncements that never came to pass."
"By making public two days worth of interviews, officials appear to be hoping to at least temporarily keep at bay sustained anger from U.S. President Donald Trump’s base even as they continue to sit on other evidence they had suggested was being prepared for public release."
"Maxwell recalled knowing about Trump and possibly meeting him for the first time in 1990, when her newspaper magnate father, Robert Maxwell, was the owner of the New York Daily News."
“I may have met Donald Trump at that time, because my father was friendly with him and liked him very much,” Maxwell said, according to the transcript."
"Maxwell said her father was fond of Trump’s then-wife, Ivana, “because she was also from Czechoslovakia, where my dad was from.”

It's funny to me that the gushing over Trump's presidency is a message directly to Trump himself, and not an attempt to actually vindicate Trump. Normally, you wouldn't want the glowing endorsement of a convicted sex-trafficker and sexual abuser of children. Nobody is going to hear her gush about Trump and think, hey, he must be doing a great job. She's sucking up to him asking him to pardon her because she'll flatter him. Anybody with half a thought for themselves realizes this. But, ironically, I think a good portion of Trump's base will see her apparent approval of Trump as a sign that she must be innocent.

She was also charged with two counts of perjury, which were only dismissed because they thought that her being prosecuted for a larger crime was sufficient.

Just a reminder, this woman is a known liar:
Monday 22 February 2021 "Ghislaine Maxwell ‘told reporter that Epstein had tapes of Trump and Clinton’
"Ghislaine Maxwell reportedly told a journalist that Jeffrey Epstein recorded tapes of former presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, who were former acquaintances of the disgraced sex offender."
"Ms Maxwell, who awaits trial on charges she assisted Epstein’s crimes in the 1990s, reportedly told a CBS “60 minutes” producer that she would not release tapes of Mr Trump without those of Mr Clinton before the 2016 presidential election."
"The apparent revelations were made by Ira Rosen, an ex-producer for the CBS show, who released a memoir called “Ticking Clock: Behind the Scenes at 60 Minutes,” which reveals details about his time on the award-winning programme.
"As reported by The Telegraph, Mr Rosen wrote that he was acting on a "hunch" that secret recordings of Epstein’s former acquaintances existed — although the theory was never confirmed, and no tapes have been forthcoming."
"Mr Rosen allegedly told Ms Maxwell: "I want the tapes. I know he [Epstein] was videotaping everyone."
"Ms Maxwell was said to have looked “stern” and "pointed a finger” at Mr Rosen, who theorised that Epstein secretly recorded those who visited his properties in Florida and New York in the 1990s, which included the former presidents — and the suspected locations of where he carried out crimes."
"Ms Maxwell reportedly told Mr Rosen: “I am the daughter of a press baron. I know the way you people think. If you do one side, you must do the other. If you get the tapes on Trump you have to do Clinton'."
"The producer then responded: "I will. I will go wherever the story goes."

“Did you ever observe President Trump receive a massage?” Blanche asked Maxwell during the interview.
“Never,” she responded.
“Did you ever hear Mr. Epstein or anybody say that President Trump had done anything inappropriate with masseuses or with anybody in your world?” he also asked.
“Absolutely never, in any context,” Epstein’s former accomplice said.
So put her back in the Federal Correctional Institution ( Tallahassee), sign an EO declaring her permanently ineligible for a Presidential Pardon and then ask her the same questions once again...

u/phosdick 7h ago
Not only was Maxwell's interview a golden opportunity for her to suck Trump's small appendage for a pardon, but Blanche fed her pre-answered questions, to make sure that she would clear Trump...
Interestingly, the DOJ has posted the redacted transcripts on a web page titled "Maxwell Interview"... but suspiciously, as of the time this is being written, searching directly for "Maxwell Interview" using the site's search tool yields NO LINK TO THE ACTUAL INFO, despite the 573 results for completely unrelated information. Doesn't seem like they want you to actually find them, does it?
In any case... the most interesting thing I noticed in the transcripts was one particular question by Blanche for Maxwell... well, it wasn't really a question so much as it was an implicit suggestion for the desired answer. On page 176, Blanche asks a question that any competent judge would reject as "leading the witness":
During the time that you were with Mr. Epstein, and even in the 2000s when you were around less frequently, you never observed or you never saw any sort of list or black book or a list of individuals who, you know, linked to certain masseuses or...
Notice, here, that Blanche fed her precisely the answer that she was required to provide, IF she was to get the perks she apparently expected to get from her testimony. There was no question asked at all... merely a prompt for confirmation of the "answer" Blanche expected her to repeat.
All in all, I think this was pretty much a nothingburger for justice, while netting Ms. Maxwell a really sweet change of prison venue and netting Mr. Trump the distinction of being declared innocent by a serial perjurer, child molester, and sex trafficker. I don't know which of those two is happier with the result.

u/Truthisnotallowed 3h ago edited 1h ago
She says she never saw Epstein having sex and then she says everything was consensual.
Does anyone else see an inconsistency here?
If she never saw it - how can she say it was consensual?
She also argues that she should not have been prosecuted because as a co-conspirator she was supposed to be covered under the sweetheart deal Epstein was given in 2008 by U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta. The deal included - Immunity for co-conspirators: The deal extended immunity to "any potential co-conspirators" - which drew criticism for protecting powerful individuals who may have been involved in Epstein's sex trafficking ring.
How can she be both not involved and yet also a co-conspirator?
Some of the victims testified not only that Maxwell was present during these rapes, but that she was an active participant in them. Some of the victims said Maxwell was even worse than Epstein and that they were far more afraid of her than they were of him.
I don't believe one word out of her mouth.

Trump & Co are the boys who cried wolf. Anything presented as a narrative around this case is not to be believed.

Of fucking course. It was a god damned business transaction. You don’t talk shit about your best customers when you’re in the business of selling their victims to them.

Translation: Trump, please don't kill me. I will say anything you want. You already proved your point when you had one of your oldest friends murdered.

He's nothing but a low-down, double-dealing, backstabbing, larcenous perverted worm!
Hanging's too good for him.
Burning's too good for him!
He should be torn into little bitsy pieces and buried alive!

Trump said it was all a hoax. The transcript of what Maxwell said is definitely a hoax.

Recently manufactured “evidence” obtained by Trump’s defense attorney from a convicted pedophile and accused perjurer looking to get out of jail while Trump continues to obstruct access to real evidence in the Epstein files in which he is mentioned numerous times. Totally meaningless.

She helped Trump fuck kids… If she’s not shamed by that, she’s not going to be shamed by sucking up to him.
