Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer has theorized that House Republicans declared an early summer recess not only to avoid voting on the Epstein files, but also to give President Donald Trump time to prepare documents to pardon Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
Sorry for the edited headline but i wanted to communicate the important bit.
First of all, good to know someone’s finally gotten in touch with Chuck Schumer. When you don’t hear from someone of his age for this long, you start to worrry.
Second of all, what the hell is he talking about? He’s 100% right to call this an, “Epstien Recess,” that’s accurate and good branding, but why would he be pardoning Maxwell? What would the motive be? “She might talk, so I’m going to pardon her as a bribe, even though that would be incredibly suspicious and unpopular with literally everyone. Also, it wouldn’t guarantee she would never talk, and would make it much harder to silence her later.” Doesn’t seem like a great idea, but maybe I’m missing something.
Trump doesn’t care if it’s unpopular, he doesn’t need anything from anyone. Everything he does for the remainder of his term will be covered by immunity. He’ll just spend it doing pump and dump schemes, buttoning up the police state for the oligarchs, and hopefully kick the bucket. Gislaine will go into hiding or get merked not long after her release. Clearly there will be no consequences for that either.
Former federal prosecutor and Trump 45 labor secretary, Alex Acosta, offered Epstein a deal in 2007 that promised the feds would not prosecute Epstein or any of his co-conspirators in the future. He also only had to serve 13 months with daily 12-hour work-release… for 40 counts of underage prostitution.
Anyway, current US AG under Trump 47, Pam Bondi, declined to prosecute Epstein under state law the entire time she was Florida AG.
Maxwell’s family has said that her ongoing imprisonment violates that 2007 deal. An administration that wasn’t compromised by Epstein at every level might say “a-fuck-a-you” but, well…
Well, since Jeffrey went and offed himself, he broke the terms of the agreement, didn’t he? Escaping the justice system, eh?
Those “co-conspirators” should have chosen a more stand-up guy.
I just can’t see a world where that isn’t immediate political suicide for everyone involved. Short of a judge ordering her release, I don’t think she’s going anywhere.
Maybe? Seems like it would be easier to do it when she’s locked up in a a place full of criminals and murders. Plus, they got Epstien in prison, right? …haha, just kidding, it was a suicide…maybe.

It’s much easier to defenestrate her after she’s free and abroad. Can’t have two of them hung in prison.

Easier to kill her if she’s not in prison maybe.
