Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Monday, July 14, 2025

Ghislaine Maxwell (63), the British socialite serving a 20-year sentence for child sex-trafficking, is prepared to testify before the US Congress about the so-called "Epstein Files," including an alleged list of clients and associates of the late financier and sexual deviant Jeffrey Epstein.

Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyers are simultaneously pursuing an appeal, arguing she should have been shielded by Epstein's 2007 non-prosecution agreement; the government's response is due today (14 July) at the US Supreme Court. The sex trafficker is the only person convicted in this imbroglio, despite the fact that pedophile Jeffrey Epstein allegedly controlled a web of underage girls. Epstein's victims alleged they were passed around as sex toys to his oligarch friends and billionaire business associates who regularly visited his homes and private island, Little Saint James. The Justice Department stated that no-one else is likely to be prosecuted in relation to the Epstein case, including Britain's Prince Andrew who was accused by Virginia Giuffre, of allegedly sleeping with her when she was 17 and underage. Prince Andrew has consistently and vehemently denied all charges against him and settled a civil lawsuit with Ms Giuffre with no admission of wrongdoing. Ms Giuffre committed suicide earlier this year. The aftermath of the Jeffrey Epstein will continue dogging Donald Trump, much like the Watergate Scandal hounded Richard Nixon 50 years ago.

The late bankrupted billionaire goniff Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine's father, was suspected of being a Soviet agent by the UK Foreign Office. Robert Maxwell was also suspected being a Mossad asset, gathering derogatory information of influential people for blackmail purposes. He died under mysterious circumstances in 1991. Ghislaine learned these tactics which she then used to help sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein gather clients for potential blackmail. Dummkopf Trumpf is smack dab in the center of this sh*t-storm. The Mossad must have an extensive dossier on Trumpf, as does the Kremlin.

British intelligence officers suspected that Robert Maxwell, the disgraced publisher, was a Soviet agent, according to Foreign Office papers which have just been released. After the former Mirror newspapers chief and ex-Labour MP died at sea on November 5 1991, there was widespread speculation that he might have been a double or even a triple agent, but the FBI found nothing in a decade of monitoring him, despite his known links with MI6, the KGB and the Israeli intelligence service Mossad. However, his file, titled "Captain Ian Maxwell", at the National Archives in Kew, London, has been found to contain reports submitted to the Information Research Department (IRD), a covert unit of the Foreign Office, describing him as "a thoroughly bad character and almost certainly financed by Russia."

Let's imagine for a moment that all of the evidence came out today and there was proof that Trump engaged in illegal activity. What would the result of that be?
He's not going to be prosecuted while he's in office. We already know that from his first term.

Would GOP congressional members drop their support for him? Doubtful. It didn't stop them before when he tried to overthrow the Constitution on Jan 6.
Would his voters stop supporting him? Doubtful. They didn't care that he was convicted of 34 felonies and found by a court to have sexually assault E Jean Carroll.
Trump supporters would just claim there is no way he could have known the girls were underage (despite the recording of him essentially acknowledging he knew Epstein was involved with young girls), and even if he did know that is ok because it was years ago and he's changed. Many of his male supporters would probably want to give him a high five.

Either Maxwell was offered a deal by the Trump administration, freedom/lighter sentence, for her to corroborate the new narrative of there never having been a list.

Or.

She'll soon be found suicided.

#12: Probably no political damage to Trumpf, but possibly some loss of support from disgruntled MAGAts. And Trumpf is going to absolutely hate hearing about Jeffrey Epstein for the next 42 months.

Moreover, the fallout might embarrass members of the Trumpf Crime Family (TCF) and also open the Dotard up to a lifetime of litigation from his victims, much like the victims of sexual abuse that the Vatican attempts to cover up.

They would absolutely follow the Bill Clinton blueprint.

I absolutely believe Trump is immorally capable of being being an Epstein buddy. Here's the thing - given how hard Democrats tried to put Trump in jail and have him removed from the ballot, if the Epstein files had any dirt on Trump it would have been leaked.

100% correct.

I say make all the names public. Every single person that visited Epstein Island should have their name and date of the trip released.

My guess is that Epstein was being run by Mossad with the full knowledge of the US Intel agencies and both of them:

1.) Do not want to be seen as pimping underage girls
2.) Do not want to lose their blackmail material

But, what is your theory?

Is this the new American Fascist narrative?

Since Obama and Hillary wrote the Epstein list, which doesn't exist, they would have also leaked it to the press.

Because obviously the Democrats have the list, which, again, doesn't exist.

You really are a fkkking idiot.

That's what republicans excel at.

You stupid idiots created this entire quagmire for yourselves.

Trump swore once he was elected he'd would release the file. That a lot of bad people's names were on the list. That it was going to be a big deal.

Pam Bondi had the list on her desk!

Now it's gone and Trump wants you to shut up about it.

Which means. You want people to shut up about it.

Also. It's the Democrats fault.

You pathetic loser.

Here is the uncomfortable truth that is revealed if people are honest with themselves:

Given the prior conviction for Epstein in the 2008 timeframe in addition to people like Bill Clinton, Price Andrew and Bill Gates linked to him - it is simply not plausible that the CIA/FBI did not know what was going on at the island.

Thus, we are left with 2 possible truths:
1.) Epstein was Mossad and the FBI/CIA stood down and let his sexual abuse of minors continue despite their full knowledge of it
2.) Epstein was a direct asset of the FBI/CIA and they ran the sexual abuse of minors directly

There IS NO PLAUSIBLE SCENARIO in which:
1.) Epstein only trafficked underage kids for himself (this is beyond ridiculous)
2.) The FBI/CIA were unaware of the decade of abuse being done at Epstein island

So, for the liberals defending the Deep State for the last 4+ years - do you believe there is a scenario in which Epstein either 1.) had no 'clients' or 2.) the FBI/CIA were completely unaware of the abuse?

I don't think one exists - which is why I advocate for pulling all funding for both organizations as their corruption is beyond reform.

Republicans have been extremely comfortable with the fact that Epstein and Trump were best friends and there are hundreds of pictures of them partying with underaged girls all over the internet.

Republicans have been comfortable with it for a decade.

They would have been okay with it longer, if only they had known, or believed the rumors.
