Ghislaine Blackmail: Testimony in Exchange for Pardon

And this is how the clear sweetheart deal shakes out, one of the most nakedly corrupt deals of all time. Congress wants to haul Maxwell before it to sort through the bottom of the matter but Maxwell’s attorneys have made it clear that the deal on the table is a non-starter and any such testimony will be contingent on either having the Supreme Court hear her case about an arrest and conviction after a non-prosecution agreement, and-or in exchange for a full pardon. This would otherwise be how it ends, with perhaps Maxwell testifying before Congress with full immunity and a pardon, to get at the powerful men at the center of it all – this happening while her memory likely fades concerning Donald Trump. We could all see it coming, but there is a wildcard. First, the story, from a report – conveniently enough, in Rawstory where we get the raw.

First, the questions must be written out beforehand:

“Years after the original events and well beyond the criminal trial, this process cannot become a game of cat-and-mouse. Surprise questioning would be both inappropriate and unproductive,”

This is not an unsurprising demand – anyone would make it if they had the chance. But it should be a line in the sand with Congress. After all, there is no follow-up in written questions. If she let out a bombshell – unlikely, in writing, Congress would have no ability to follow it up.

Second, she wants the “deal-violating prosecution” issue heard before the U.S. Supreme Court. Last, they dangle the bait, promising to tell all if granted clemency (Pardon or commutation):

“Of course, in the alternative, if Ms. Maxwell were to receive clemency, she would be willing—and eager—to testify openly and honestly, in public, before Congress in Washington, D.C. She welcomes the opportunity to share the truth and to dispel the many misconceptions and misstatements that have plagued this case from the beginning.”

“In any event, Ms. Maxwell should never have been charged in the first place. In 2008, the United States government promised, in writing, that she would not be prosecuted. It broke that promise only after Mr. Epstein died in 2019—at which point Ms. Maxwell became a convenient scapegoat.”

Her potential case before the SCOTUS isn’t entirely irrelevant, indeed – the rapist Bill Cosby is out and about today because a second prosecutor went forward on a rape charge after Cosby had been granted a deal by the former prosecutor. Cosby’s case was a state charge and thus isn’t even touching on the matter in front of the Supreme Court – not that they can’t overturn anything anyway. Still, this is about a pardon, something Donald Trump has refused to rule out. He is desperate to get the focus off of him.

This would certainly do it, and the fact that Trump had his former defense attorney and deputy attorney general – not even a line attorney, talk deals with Maxwell says everything. One can count on an “understanding” between Maxwell and Trump. A pardon for clearance, and everyone knows it. But like anything else nowadays, nothing matters. Nothing. It doesn’t matter how obvious it might be. There is, however, one wildcard.

There are those 1,000 FBI agent-witnesses (Imagine the workload when that happened, what does 1,000 FBI agents even look like?). Many of these people are surely aggrieved. For all we know, some of them saw video of Trump raping a teen (it isn’t impossible). Now imagine one coming forward, even anonymously, to say that the deal is a complete fabrication according to the FBI’s own files.

Imagine that. Perhaps you need not even imagine it happening. There are indications that the Wall Street Journal has more, much more. Look at what was grabbed already, a presidential signature as pubic hair? Imagine what others saw or heard. Now imagine people being furious, having the pardon process mocked in front of them.

It is likely the only hope. Trump can grant a pardon based on a prior non-prosecution agreement and the desire to “air it all out” in front of Congress. Maxwell would almost surely get full immunity from Congress. It leaves Maxwell freed, but also one thousand people with knowledge that the deal is as laughably corrupt as it is. And we all thought Bill Clinton was bad in office. (He was, and he may be implicated – fine. He also abused the pardon process).

So it goes. Nothing matters anymore, and Maxwell knows it. To us, though, the victims still matter. But a witness will have to put their personal safety up against the ultimate power to invoke the maxim that some things may still matter. If child rape doesn’t do it…
