I urge anyone tempted to believe the Trump administration's handling of Epstein documents or Ghislaine Maxwell will be on the level to google "Bill Barr Mueller report summary"

Maxwell should have no problem sussing out the tune Trump's DOJ wants to hear.
Who knows, Trump might even make her federal felony convictions go away.
I mean, why not, when she has 24 fewer felony convictions than POTUS?

Using the AG as his personal attorney. Everyone knows Bondi's number one priority is preventing negative information about the Trump/Epstein friendship from leaking to the press and further destroying support from MAGAs who seem like they may find pedophelia too distATEFUL TO OVERLOOK EVEN IN THRIR CULT LEADER. eMPHASIS ON "moght" because even if very believable testimony was given by Maxwell it is doubtful that MAGAs are actually capable of turning on Trump no matter what he has ever done.

I'll guess that the offer on the table for Maxwell will be a "conditional" pardon, the condition being to exonerate Trump from any charges or suspicion of pedophilia.

Of course, after that her life won't be worth a plug nickel.

Here's how the meeting will take place. Maxwell will be handcuffed to a chair, fitted with a garrote and then encouraged to speak freely, on any topic of her choosing. A masked man standing behind her will indicate how that conversation is going by tightening or loosening the garotte. The more mentions of Clinton, Obama and Biden, the better. The conversation will be videotaped for future reference by the Trump DOJ, FBI and ICE. If she leaves the room alive, Maxwell can consider her time in conversation to have been persuasive...

My guess as to the purpose of the meeting...

A quid pro quo - if Ms Maxwell develops amnesia, then she may get a pardon or a sentence reduction.

She can go before Congress, testify truthfully about everything she knows, and likely spend the rest of her prison sentence.

Or, get a pardon for confirming the DOJ's narrative that the evil Dem axis of power is behind it all while Epstein acted alone and killed himself, and Trump is the main victim in the whole thing.

The Trump cult is gullible, impressionable, insecure, and afraid, so they'll believe a convicted child sex trafficker and pedophile (yes, Maxwell is a pedo just like her bf) if it confirms their delusions.

Heck, most of them don't even need Maxwell to accept the DOJ/Trump version.

Are you sure you're not underestimating that gusher of fear that is coursing through Trump every day . . . with the knowledge that there is only one person still alive who can destroy him.

Knowing what we all know about Trump, do you really think he's going to leave anything to chance?

Do the security cameras outside Ms Maxwell's cell work 24/7?

Perfectly.
Except when they're on the fritz.

I hear the cameras have to be turned off every 24 hours for exactly 3 minutes in order for them to switch the VHS tapes which they still use.

"Except when they're on the fritz."

And Fritz only works 8-10 hours a day, so ... .

Maxwell is incarcerated at the low-security Federal Correctional Institution, Tallahassee. Hardly Alcatraz, but, still, it's a prison and she isn't due for release until 2037, when she will be 75. Maxwell won't even need a crib sheet when Trump's henchman shows up to see if she knows how to warble the right tune.

Trump never leaves anything to chance.

Sadly they only work 23 hours, 57 minutes and 7 seconds per day.

Smells of a dangled pardon if she plays ball and denies any Trump involvement when she testifies before the House committee.

"Smells of a dangled pardon if she plays ball and denies any Trump involvement "

Maxwell's meeting yesterday with Trump's AG (and former attorney) has the same smell.

IMO, when all three principals ~ Maxwell, her attorney and Trump's AG ~ all want the same thing (a conditional pardon in exchange for getting Trump off the hook) the outcome is predictable, whatever cover story they cook up to hide their tracks.

Maxwell has a long history of everything of which she was convicted. Leopards don't change their spots.

Unfortunately, we have a president who doesn't care who gets hurt as long as it isn't him.

Trump is relying on a convicted child sex trafficker who's also facing perjury charges to save his fatty bacon.
Not a good look, Donnie, not a good look.

He's writing the script for the Democrats if the media can keep the Epstein story hot for the midterms.

Ideally, the GOP Senate will unify and give Trump his Barry Goldwater moment.

That is if anybody remembers what forced Nixon to resign.

She is never going to make it out of that prison alive. She knows too much. She will "do" what Epstein did (right!.) She will "commit suicide."
How long before she is found dead in her cell.
He will silence her before he lets the truth of his depth of depravity out into public view.

I think she's a "Dead Woman Walking" even if she accepts the pardon deal.

Trump's not one to take chances. . . especially if it's his head on the chopping block.
