Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell has offered to testify before Congress, but with major conditions, including immunity, according to a list of her demands sent to the House Oversight Committee by her attorneys. An Oversight Committee spokeswoman on Tuesday rejected the idea of giving Maxwell immunity. "The Oversight Committee will respond to Ms. Maxwell's attorney soon, but it will not consider granting congressional immunity for her testimony," the spokeswoman said.

Maxwell's conditions as laid out by her attorneys include: A grant of formal immunity; The interview can't happen at the correctional facility where she's serving her sentence; "To prepare adequately for any congressional deposition"and to ensure accuracy and fairness"we would require the Committee's questions in advance ... .Surprise questioning would be both inappropriate and unproductive."; The interview would be scheduled "only after the resolution of her Supreme Court petition and her forthcoming habeas petition."

If this Indicted Liar does well for Trump, she'll get her Pardon; Trump's personal attny in the AG's office will make sure of that.

Congress might be better off not giving this stage to the Pedo Princess.

What a meaningless charade.

She's been coached for over a week as to what to say.

Anything other than releasing the Epstein files.

The Republican Party is the party of pedophiles.

By your logic, the Democrat Party must be too. Brandon sure as hell wasn't touching the subject.

He didn't run on releasing the Epstein Files, like the guy who is refusing to release the Epstein Files did.
It's really something how you support him on both, first on promising to release them, and then on not releasing them.

What could a Democrat possibly do to win over someone like that?

Early one Sunday when I was the president of the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, Donald Trump and his friend Jeffrey Epstein arrived to the casino unannounced. But there was a problem: They had brought guests too young to be there.

Casino security and regulatory personnel had been intimidated by Trump and had failed to verify their birthdates. The following Monday, the incident was brought to my attention by the independent chief gaming inspector permanently stationed at the property. He told me Trump had brought an underaged woman onto the casino floor.

When I inquired how he could know, in the absence of identification checks, his response was quick: "I'm a tennis fan, and recognized the woman with Trump, the world's No. 3 tennis player, Gabriela Sabatini." He said he knew she was 19 at the time. The other two with them appeared significantly younger, but I never discovered their ages. (Sabatini did not respond to a request for comment.)

It never mattered to anyone on the right after you found out Trump did it.

@#11 ... It never mattered to anyone on the right after you found out Trump did it. ...

Bingo.

The Epstein conspiracy theory was (still is?) a main talking point of MAGA for years.

So, why does Pres Trump seem to be wanting to back away from it so lamely?


How Epstein case is tearing apart Maga's online conspiracy wing
www.bbc.com

... It seems like a simple decision for Donald Trump's administration -- release files related to the late convicted paedophile financier Jeffery Epstein, or keep them out of public view.

But battles raging among the US president's supporters in some of the more conspiratorial spaces online suggest that the choice facing Trump is not easy at all.

In those spaces, users argue about whether to trust the White House, and they speculate on what might be going on behind the scenes and Trump's strategic acumen -- which some fans liken to playing a game of "4D chess".

"Don't get distracted by the Epstein shills," wrote one commenter professing his steadfast support for Trump on TheDonald, a popular message board filled with news, conspiracy theories and language ranging from salty to extremely offensive.

"I have not once called for the Epstein files to be released because I'm not a complete and total [fool]," the commenter added.

But that sentiment is far from universal.

"Epstein transparency NOW!!!" came one reply.

Another user criticised the president over his recent statements that lambasted supporters for focusing on the Epstein issue: "Don't [lash] out at your own base ... That makes you look guilty." ...

I'm old enough to remember when Republican men were fond of adult females. Now it seems like it's anything but.

His AG didn't announce they had the files on their desk ready to release.

Trump's name is definitely on it.

Trump's picture with Epstein and underage girls are all over the internet.

Pedophilia is meaningless to you because Trump and republicans are hurting people and you hate people.
