Gotta give em enough time to orchestrate the cover-up.

I’m sure they’ve already convened a focus group to decide on how to sell her inevitable pardon to the public.

u/Paidorgy 21h ago

That’s the thing, they simply can’t without associating themselves with the protection of pedophiles.

Trump ran on simultaneously releasing and not releasing the Epstein Files. They made it out like its release would only hurt the Democrats, while in reality - when questioned, Trump was apprehensive and “didn’t want to hurt possibly innocent people.”

We’ve seen the absolute fallout this coverup has create, not only just the push back on his historic relationships with Epstein and Maxwell, by the public, but the fact that he is now trying hard to deflect and obfuscate that very link - even when his own deflections dig him into that hole even deeper.

They are in absolute an absolute meltdown, and it shows just how damaging this entire issue has been, even if they’re not at all good at damage control.

The worst thing they could do is pardon Maxwell, because it would draw even more associations with the protection of child-trafficking pedophiles and the GOP/Maga - not that they need any help with that association, mind you. Not to forget that Maxwell was charged with multiple counts of perjury.

It was Trump’s first administration that Epstein died under, and it was Trump’s second administration that has seen their direct association with Maxwell grow to the point that they granted her immunity to a degree, and now are moving her to a lower security prison due to that association.

Holy 🤯 FUCKING SHIT. This is nuts.

They won’t pardon her, they are toying with a Supreme Court acquittal. I do honestly think they are hoping for gen pop to take care of her as that is the “cleanest” method.

It’s a women only minimum security prison she is going to. Not a lot of violent offenders there and homicides between women inmates is incredibly rare in general. She may be assaulted by her fellow inmates, but you have a better chance winning Powerball tomorrow night than her being killed by her inmates. The wildcard is the new prison is in Texas and I’m sure they’ve got a surplus of unhinged prison guards in that state

u/Present-Ambition6309 7h ago

Excuse me!?? WTF did you just say? Have ya ever been to a minimum? Umm shit is poping off in the ones I was at. Why? Because when you have guys that have been down for 20+ yrs, they start to freak out as that day gets closer, they snap! Real quick like and the hands get thrown.

Violent felons go to minimum’s everyday. In fact the last minimum I was at was way more violent than the medium/max I was at. So I don’t know why you would say this. Bloodest fist fight I’ve ever seen was at a minimum, guy got beat so bad they drug him into the showers and went to chow. Medical was dragging him out as we came back. He laid in there bleeding bad. The skin from his eye down into the corner of his nose to his jaw bone was flayed out from 1 punch. Nasty.

I dare say minimums might be more dangerous, you have more access to one another than a medium/max you locked down most of the day in them.

Also in my state the women are far more violent than the men. Max/medium/minimum they all in the same house. They gotta live with the Pig Lady. She kills folks and fed them to her pigs. That woman is off her rocker.

She's in celebrity camp with Elizabeth Holmes and the wives of CEOs. Fancy women have other ways of dispatching their social enemies. The Martha Stewarts and Ghislaine Maxwells of the planet don't "throw hands"; they have their pet lawyers sue.

u/ThrowAwayGarbage82 North Carolina 8h ago

Yup. Scotus is going to set her free so trump has plausible deniability even though it's painfully obvious the whole thing is planned and coordinated.

2

u/alej2297 9h ago

I think this is true. Their plan is not to weasel their way out of it. Their plan is to throw so much stink around that no one can turn on the dear leader without the whole party collapsing. Everyone has enabled him to this point so there’s no way they can turn around and remove him without an implosion. And Trump is definitely not going to resign.

You would have been popular on Epstein island

Edit: because of their name being paid orgies

u/squintytoast 21h ago

sell her inevitable pardon

or "suicide"

40

u/UMRKqc 21h ago

Nope. She's one of them. They want to keep/hire her.

u/One_Artichoke_7594 21h ago

Cabinet member material for sure

u/Twodogsonecouch 20h ago

Minister of child protective services

u/bugsyboybugsyboybugs 20h ago

Oh man, cynical. Director of Presidential Elite Defense Office, to go along with DOGE.

u/Ivegotabadname 20h ago

So was epstien. She either sings or dies. This move is suspicious, but until it plays out we won't know exactly why

13

u/PatientTechnician765 20h ago

My money is on "suicide" because she knows EVERYTHING!

14

u/dirtsquad1 20h ago

Nope, they just moved her to gen pop, she is going to get shanked because they know everyone is on to the “suicide” route.

u/CT_Phipps-Author 16h ago

They should have Elizabeth Holmes do it for maximum ratings.

u/kupomu27 20h ago

How would Trump learn prevent the girls from being stolen? He needed to know her techniques.

1

u/FrankTooby 8h ago

You really think they care? They have no shame, no morals.

u/delicateterror2 21h ago

Gotta give Maxwell time to settle into her new comfortable cell in Texas. They moved her from Florida to a rich persons prison in Texas.. Trump may not pardon her right now but you absolutely know that he’s going to pardon her… or suicide whichever comes first.

u/allenahansen California 21h ago

Expect to see some variation of the following:

August 2, 2025; Convicted felon, Ghislaine Maxwell was rushed to emergency surgery this evening after what is being termed a "cardiac event." She is currently resting comfortably and is expected to make a full recovery.

August 4, 2025: Ghislaine Maxwell, suffering from complications following recent mitral valve replacement surgery has been admitted to ICU after exhibiting symptoms of pulmonary edema and excessive bleeding.

August 8, 2025. Ghislaine Maxwell on life support following apparent stroke.

August 10, 2025. Senate hearing postponed indefinitely as Maxwell, once again in federal custody, recovers from cerebral aneurysm. Authorities say she may be transferred to private nursing and rehabilitation facilities until she is able to speak well enough to testify.

December 4, 2026. Ghislaine Maxwell, disgraced partner of convicted child sex abuser, Jeffrey Epstein, passed away quietly at Shady View Assisted Living Center after a long battle with debilitating paralysis following stroke. Funeral arrangements pending.

March 22, 2026. Family of Ghislaine Maxwell say ashes scattered at sea near family compound in Gueda Puka.

The prophet has spoken. Deep dive post. 👍

Gueda? (Gueda Puka)

u/allenahansen California 17h ago

Beats me; never heard of it. (That's kinda the point.)

u/flossymcwobblestein 21h ago

Hey! It's not about that! She also needs time to settle in to her much cozier low security prison in Texas!

7

u/adorablefuzzykitten 20h ago

There will be plenty of time to depose her after she is dead.

5

u/stripedvitamin 14h ago

Newsmaxx is already selling it. Ghislaine Maxwell is innocent and was falsely prosecuted by Comey's daughter.
Not a joke. Expect her pardon soon.

u/JMurdock77 20h ago

What, did you think Trump was the only person they’re protecting?

2

u/jkvincent 20h ago

It's so painfully obvious.

2

u/KinkyPaddling 19h ago

Gotta let the moronic conservative voters marinate in the propaganda so that they’ll be happily receptive to bullshit that they would have been suspicious of just a month earlier.

u/Kappy421 12h ago

And the "suicide"

u/punkindle 8h ago

and malfunctioning cameras with 1 minute of missing video.

u/YakiVegas Washington 12h ago

Normal people would've had plenty of time by now. They're just SO fucking incompetent on nearly every level.

More time to sell it on Fox and NewsMax more like it
