Is a pardon, or sentence reduction, next on the ticket?

"Annie Farmer, who testified against Maxwell at trial, questioned why Maxwell was granted a meeting with the deputy attorney general in the first place.

"It's very disappointing that these things are happening behind closed doors without any input from the people that the government asked to come forward and speak against her in order to put her away," Farmer said. "There were so many young girls and women that were harmed by her."

Here's the legalities:

Basically what we thought would happen, she's being given immunity for her part in crimes that she testifies to about whomever Trump wants her to testify. Which of course won't include Trump.

But her current status won't change unless she gets a Pardon

What 'chall think the Base is going to think about Trump Pardoning a Pedophile Pimp?

I'm sure we will learn that Epstein and Lewzer had never met, or even heard of each other.

It appears that usually this sort of Immunity is granted to someone during their trial before they are convicted.... not for someone who is serving 20 years for pedo peddling.

This WH is All Corruption All the Time.

Also... the Gov lawyer she is talking to about Epstein's crimes is Todd "Carte" Blanche, who represented Trump when he was convicted of 34 felonies.

Which makes this a total conflict of interest for him to be sitting down with Maxwell when she pimped to Trump. She also has a 2016 indictment for Perjury, whatever she claims is suspect from the get-go.

She will be claiming Trump had no association at all with Epstein, and expecting a Pardon.

Trump to Epstein: "you're the greatest!"

Trump about Epstein now : "Obama wrote the Epstein files!"

Also, if when she testifies to Congress on Aug 11 she contradicts anything she says to Trump's mouthpiece, she could be prosecuted for that.

So if she told Blanche, "Donald who?".... then she can't possibly contradict herself to Congress.

Which is why he interviewed her in the first place.

@#3 ... "Annie Farmer, who testified against Maxwell at trial, questioned why Maxwell was granted a meeting with the deputy attorney general in the first place. ...

Bingo.

Pres Trump's former defense lawyer (Mr Blanche) had an interview with Ms Maxwell and her defense lawyer (Mr Marcus).

There's this ...

Trump attorney: Melania's absence at husband's trial not for lack of love and support' (2024)
thehill.com

... The sit-down with Markus, whom Blanche said he considers a friend ...


OK, Mr Marcus' goal for his client is to et her out of jail, as any good defense lawyer would work for.

Now, let's look at Mr Blanche...

What does he know about this case? imo, he is quite ignorant of the myriad of details in the case.

And ...

Why were none of the DoJ agents and officials, who have worked so hard on this case and actually do know the details of the case, present for that discussion?


This meeting is so odd.

What was the purpose of it?

A coverup?

Following an existing Court Order not to publicly release the information?

Obeying the law and following established policies and procedures, but there's no way an in-the-bagger like you sees that as anything but inconvenient and stupid.

Did the DOJ make sure it has a video recording of the entire Blanche-Maxwell proceedings?
You know, to reduce suspicions, perhaps even make this appear on the up-and-up?
So, next up: Where's the Maxwell-Blanche video?

Todd Balance's attorney-client obligations to Trump extend beyond his client's 34 criminal convictions. How does Blanche square that when questioning Maxwell about a case in which Trump's name keeps popping up?

Trump have immunity to a child sex trafficker and his cult is fine with that.

You clowns are hilarious. The Biden Admin. had 4 years to hang everyone involved and he didn't touch it.

I'm beginning to believe the 19 is an IQ level rather than % approval.

Turns out the best way to make a deal to get out of your child sex trafficking conviction is to have one of your clients get elected president.

Maybe they would have been able to if Epstein hadn't died while in Trump custody.

So Trump will be getting right on that, yeah?

Republicans in Congress will surely cut their summer recess short to deal with this important issue, yeah?
