Epstein's former lawyer wants Ghislaine Maxwell released so that she can testify

Source: The Independent

Sunday 20 July 2025 17:05 EDT


A former attorney for convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein says his associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, should be granted immunity so she can testify about his crimes.

In an interview on Fox News Sunday, Epstein’s former lawyer Alan Dershowitz said Maxwell “absolutely” should testify as she was most closely involved with Epstein.

“She knows everything. I mean, she is everything,” Dershowitz said. “She was the one who arranged all the trips and travel of all the people who went to the island, who went to the house and went to the place in New Mexico, who went to his place in Paris,” Dershowitz said of Maxwell.

“So she’s key to everything, and there’s no reason why they shouldn’t give her use immunity, which means she can still be prosecuted if she commits perjury, but she would then have to testify about everything, and she should.”

so why would you give her immunity just so you can here her story? If she's the key to it all, she should spend every minute of that 20 year sentence. Fuck her.

She’s the top of the remaining food chain. You maybe give other people immunity to get her… you don’t give her immunity so that the tabloids have more details for their next story.

She will not be allowed anywhere near a microphone unless she never speaks of the fat lying nazi rapist bastard again. If she is not willing, then the fat orange imbecile will just create an "accident". No way diaper don doesn't have total control over this. This is the female version of "Dead man walking!"

12. Maxwell might be able to provide evidence against Epstein, who's already dead

... but providing evidence against Chump or other LIVING people can get her dead. She knows it too.

Why does Dershowitz think that "immunity" would make her talk anyway? He's not her lawyer and he never was.

13. Bait and switch? Is this entire "feud" a way to deal with her?

Ivana was taken care of--I didn't realize she and Ghislane were buddies until reading about it this week. With the doge team inserting itself into the DOJ and FBI, Ghislane might just turn out to be the last loose end. Is Murdoch helping? To me, not a conspiracist, their being on the same side makes more sense.

Unless, this is the Thiel-Vance-Jr takeover underway. Could be both, I guess.
