7 key questions that Ro Khanna wants to ask Ghislaine Maxwell when she appears before Oversight tomorrow that Todd Blanche did not ask. But unlike with Blanche, Maxwell will refuse to answer them. Why is she getting special treatment from DOJ? bsky.app/profile/meid ...

"The congressman also wants to know if Maxwell or one of her reps reached out to Trump about getting a pardon or reduced sentence in exchange for her silence. Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence in federal prison after she was convicted of conspiring with Epstein to sexually abuse minors.

In his letter, Ro notes that Maxwell previously met with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche to discuss the Epstein matter without invoking the Fifth, calling her sudden U-turn on the topic "inconsistent."

Popcorn, please!

Because if she says anything, she'll get the Epstein treatment.

Which will be a lot easier to accomplish in the low security Club Fed condo she's in now.

Just like Trump would. Both of them are pedos.

So.... what does it say about the Pres if a witness avoids incriminating themselves by taking the 5th when asked if she ever witnessed crimes by DJT?

Taking the 5th just says GUILTY.

We already know she's guilty. She's been convicted.

They should give her immunity for anything new she says about Mango Mussolini, take away the 5th to incriminate the Orange Pedo.

I do wonder why Trump hasn't pardoned her by now. Sure, he would take a hit, ballot box wise, but then she could go off and not say anything to anyone ever again, or, I suppose she could tell the truth with no recriminations..oh right, that is why she cannot have a pardon right now.

Does the 5th Amendment protect her from Presidential assasination?

Which means she's guilty, according to Trump. Right befor Trump did the same when on trials for his rape and felony fraud.

WATCH: Ghislaine Maxwell not cooperating because she is campaigning for Trump pardon, Democrats say

drudge.com

DJT is going to have to either Pardon him herself, have his stooges arrange Clemency for her... or go to jail himself when she Tells All.

"Taking the 5th just says GUILTY." -DJT

Fixed that for you.

Because she could then be compelled to testify - no taking the 5th.

#14 | Posted by GalaxiePete at 2026-02-09 11:53 AM

DJT could get the Monster Maxwell to help in the Epstein Investigation; name the powerful pedophiles in the case.

All he has to do is say he will not Pardon her.

Then she will testify.

#15 | Posted by Corky at 2026-02-09 12:31 PM

The supreme court said that DJT can have a political opponent assassinated by seal team 6. He could openly order her assassinated without legal repercussion. We would all have to watch and the pedo republicans would applaud Trump's bold move of ordering a murder to protect pedophiles.

Pardon me and I'll spill the beans..........lol...........

She's already behind bars - what does she really have to offer?

... Ghislaine Maxwell plans to take the Fifth on all questions related to President Trump's association with Jeffrey Epstein during her high-stakes deposition Monday in front of Congress. ...

My understanding is that she took a ~blanket 5th,~ meaning that she refused to answer any questions on the ground the answers may incriminate her.

Question: if Pres Trump eventually gives her a pardon or clemency, can she then testifty without worrying about self-incrimination?

I am not a lawyer, so I readily admin that have not a clue about the answer to that question.

@#17 ... She's already behind bars ...

No she is not behind bars.

She was behind bars but then, after Dep AG Blanche talked with her for hours, she was moved to a Club Fed facility where she seems to be treated as if she were in a upscale hotel.

#20 | Posted by LampLighter at 2026-02-09 07:57 PM

She takes the fifth and the victims take the money and nda.

She can be compelled to testify, if she refuses, contempt and prison until she does. Not for her crimes but for contempt.
