Ron Filipkowski has a way with words

After the story broke this morning that the Justice Dept is going to interview Maxwell,
he wrote: "So instead of releasing the Epstein Files which contain all the evidence in the case, Trump is going to try and release grand jury transcripts that contain far less than 1% of the evidence, & secure a statement from Maxwell who has every incentive to lie for a sentence reduction."

The corporate media will do everything they can to ignore these two obvious points, however.

to put it mildly, but Dem should be screaming about his efforts to distract and how compromised any Maxwell testimony would be.

right? Usonian just posted a great OP about the Dems getting ahead of this story now. They should be setting the narrative now instead of reacting in September or whenever.

Don’t our Dems have at least a FEW devious thinkers in their corner?

negotiate a pardon* in exchange for silence and a Do Not Disclose deal.

Is Maxwell serving a federal or state sentence?

as well, not to mention as a headline on all major newspapers.

Question: What are the chances of that?
Answer: Nill.

G.M.: Alls I know is, he got on the plane a couple'a times, sat down with Jeffery (I really miss Jeffey). They had tea and crumpets together and then he would leave to go back and take care of his real estate stuff."

Prisoner Maxwell, your honesty in this interview impresses me. I know you didn't ask for this, but I will initiate a request to the president for a pardon. You need to understand, he is very stingy with pardons so don't get your hopes up. He has only issued about 1,600 so far in the first month of his office.

Filipkowski, with his words sharp and keen,
Saw through Trump's elaborate screen.
"Just one percent, grand jury,
Maxwell's a big story,
The media won't touch this, I ween!"

There once was a man named Ron F.,
Whose words cut through Trump like a clef.
"Just crumbs from the jury,
And Maxwell's a worry,"
He scoffed, "The press won't give a whiff!"
