Ghislaine Maxwell May Seek Pardon for Spilling Epstein Secrets

Convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell’s legal team has suggested she may seek a pardon as the Trump administration tries to mitigate the ongoing crisis surrounding Jeffrey Epstein.

After meeting for a second day with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, Maxwell’s lawyer David Markus told reporters that while they hadn’t spoken to the administration about a pardon yet, “the president this morning said he has the power” to grant one.

if she doesn’t. He’s too old, slow and there’s too much mold growing in his brain to work his way out of it this time. MAGA is splitting like dry a round beneath a skilled axe. It’s lovely and I’m REALLY enjoying it.

Someone posted on Reddit.
Maxwell exonerates trump, throws out some names of prominent democrats whether true or not.
MAGA praises her for bringing down the pedophile ring
trump pardons her for telling the truth.
A pedophile now becomes the celebrated hero.
Sickening but not impossible.

It’s just not.

He wants her to clear him and name Bill and Obama I’m sure. If he is going to do this he’s going to get everything he can out of it.

It could only serve to further connect him with yet another convicted child sex offender.

Get Madame Maxwell to clear Agent Orange from nefarious acts or thoughts or intentions while the names of enemies spill out from her testimony regarding the decadent, repulsive, criminal behaviors of others.

Transparency on so many levels!
