What shithole prosecutor goes to the convicted perp for information and not the victims of the crime? [View all]



...Ghislaine Maxwell was already given the opportunity and refused to tell her story to investigators when she was arrested, and then later in court.

She's never admitted guilt or expressed remorse for her crimes which should be the minimum consideration for any accommodation to her after sentencing.

Trump's personal attorney-turned-Deputy AG can't possibly be in pursuit of justice, because he has no way to measure the value or truth of this convicted perp's statement or answers to his questions because he doesn't have access to or knowledge of the full investigative record; Trump having opportunistically fired New York federal prosecutor Maurene Comey who worked on the prosecutions against Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

There weren't any victims at the meetings with Maxwell to question their abuser or respond to her newfound willingness to now selectively reveal what she knows.

There won't be another trial to measure Maxwell's new claims against the testimony of victims or witnesses. There won't be any rebuttal testimony from any of the prosecutors and investigators who put Maxwell in jail.

There's no actual path to any real justice here. All of this one-sided testimony is in obvious and open collusion with Trump, ostensibly on his behalf, as he's clearly demonstrated there aren't any barriers between his White House and his obsequious Attorney General's DOJ.

Todd Blanche is just a go-between for Trump to elicit damaging statements from Ghislaine Maxwell to use against his political opponents, or in defense of himself.

As sure as shit, republicans in Congress will be clamoring for this compromised information which will undoubtedly be self-servingly leaked from DOJ, or the president himself, to use in an open committee hearing as political theater.

Wrap your head around the fact that our nation's justice department has dispatched it's number-two official to solicit statements he believes are of value from a convicted predator who lured middle school girls to have sex with her and Epstein.

Blanche didn't seek out the prosecutors in the case; didn't fly in to meet with any of the witnesses who already testified; all of that myopic focus on the perp making it all the more strange and curious why Trump has never uttered a word of care or concern for Epstein and Maxwell's victims; only offering his 'well wishes' for his child rapist friend and groomer facing prison.

This dog and pony show isn't just a sham, it's a criminal enterprise designed to give political cover to Trump by eliciting 'testimony' from a convicted child rapist who is already in jail for 20 years and has every incentive to lie.
