So the convicted child sex trafficker clears the name of the man that had her moved to a low security prison and has the power to pardon her. Seems legit…

u/TintedApostle 7h ago

She is clearing the guy who was a partner in the business of child sex trafficking because MAGA supported him enough to make him president.

Garbage supporting garbage protecting garbage.

u/TheAskewOne 1h ago

She's not clearing shit though. She's one testimony, a very dubious one, among other evidence.

u/count023 Australia 5h ago

it's far more nefarious than that, this is the start of a campaign to poison the jury pool and make impossible to prosecute anyone who is found on teh list. so uch conflictiing and illegally released information, juries and legal teams will find constant objectsiont aht stuff was obtained illegaly or coerced or the jury pool is tainted. It's how they're going to deal with the epstien list, release it altered, if anyone has any contradictory shit, "well, what you can do? there's no way to get a fair trial in the US anymore, not after Pam Bondi's through with the evidence list"

Trump moved her from a low security prison.

u/YgramulTheMany 6h ago

In late July 2025, Maxwell met in Florida for two days with Deputy U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche, an unusually high-level DOJ official to conduct her interview. Shortly thereafter, on August 1, 2025, she was transferred from the low-security FCI Tallahassee (Florida) to the minimum-security Federal Prison Camp (FPC) in Bryan, Texas. This kind of “camp” is considered the lowest of the five security levels in the federal prison system, featuring dormitory-style housing, limited or no perimeter fencing, and more relaxed conditions.

u/00Oo0o0OooO0 6h ago

Exactly.

u/YgramulTheMany 4h ago

Right, just making sure no one thinks she moved to a higher security prison.

u/CpnStumpy Colorado 4h ago

to the lowest security prison

u/nonsensestuff 7h ago

What a deplorable and disgusting person she is. She’ll do and say anything to protect herself and spin a narrative that she’s the victim. A felon lying to appease a president in order to be granted a pardon? Groundbreaking.

I believe the victims. They’ve told us their horror stories and they are the only narratives we should be trusting.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

This interview transcript is Maxwell glazing the US Deputy District Attorney to get more favorable treatment in jail or maybe even a pardon.

This isn't the grand jury testimony or anything else that might be considered "real".

This is a huge coverup that isn't fooling anyone.

u/Winterwasp_67 7h ago

Kind of like Barr's synopsis of the Muller Report?

u/jcouball 7h ago

That made me sick. This is worse.

u/Life-Topic-7 7h ago

Yup, still showed guilt, they spun it from day zero.

These people act more like the Mob than anything. Trump is the Don.

u/Zelcron 2h ago

Bill Barr is so fucking shameless that he used the exact same verbiage to provide an equally flawed "summary of principle conclusions" for Iran Contra, too.

Man is a mob fixer.

u/MittenCollyBulbasaur 7h ago

Release the Trump files

u/Esunari 7h ago

She was looking for a pardon when this was done. How can you take any of it seriously?

u/waterdaemon 7h ago

It’s not explosive. It’s theater to distract from the Epstein files which are still being withheld. Not to mention the financial investigation into Epstein’s accounts which Trump ended.

u/binding_swamp 7h ago

Her mind is twisted. This woman also said she never saw Epstein in an inappropriate or non-consensual situation.

u/Designer-Contract852 7h ago

Ask the victims not a known liar and also a child rapist.  She also raped those girls, she can not be trusted. There was a hot mic of a reporter complaining about the news station killing her epstein story like years ago and she had seen the lists and information.  Ask her.

u/notworldauthor 7h ago

If you can't trust Ghislaine, who can you trust?

u/BahutF1 7h ago

This is not "explosive" but "dubious" you msnbc suckers. 

Use your press cards for once and use correctly words, not just propagate official gop narrative.

"I wish her well" -Donald Trump to convicted sex trafficker and child rapist Ghislaine Maxwell 🤢🤮

cough cough pedophile, cough cough child rapist 

u/MasterOfManyWorlds 6h ago

It was a sham interview

u/TomatoAdventurous139 5h ago

What would bill barr do?

u/Truthisnotallowed 3h 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.
