  1. “I wish her good luck”

    — Trump after Ghislaine Maxwell’s arrest

  2. MAGA and QAnon are going to say this is ok in 3…2…

  3. Pretty random statement to make if you’re trying to make the Epstein stuff go away. Also concerning that the Deputy AG who is also one of Trump’s personal attorney’s is interviewing Maxwell alone for hours.

  4. Absolutely *nothing* cries innocent more than pardoning a convicted sex trafficker who has all of the receipts right..?

  5. >”It’s something I haven’t thought about,” Trump said when asked about the possibility of a pardon for Maxwell as he prepared to depart the White House for Scotland on Friday morning, July 25. “I’m allowed to do it, but it’s something I have not thought about.”

    By now, we know these weirdo statements are ALWAYS admissions and foreshadowing.

  6. He’s allowed to quit acting like an asshole, but that’ll never happen.

  7. please do… one of the most well known pedophiles pardoning another well known pedophile… certainly… nothing to see here.

  8. Pedo protectors, I guess this is the new Republican Party. Oh wait it’s always been who they are which is why they accused the left of it for so long.

  9. As a father of three daughters this whole situation makes me ill.

  10. The felon pardoning a person who could get him charged with more felonies. This is peak trump. Release all the Epstein evidence!

  11. > Federal prosecutors also assailed Maxwell for refusing to tell the truth during her trial in New York.

    >“The defendant has shown no acceptance of responsibility, and her submission fails to even mention, much less accept responsibility for, the harm she has caused her (~150 to date) victims,” read the sentencing memorandum.

    >“In short, the defendant has lied repeatedly about her crimes, exhibited an utter failure to accept responsibility, and demonstrated repeated disrespect for the law and the Court.”

    Maxwell: “Trump was not involved”

    MAGA: “Ya i’m satisfied with that”.

  12. Freeing a sex trafficker while also blocking a law that would require priests to report sexual abuse, yeah this is definitely going to make him look innocent. 

  15. I’m sorry, did the President of the United States just imply that he’s going to let a known child sex trafficker free?

    And we have to ask, is it because they’re long-time personal friends, or because he’s involved in her trafficking children?

    What the fuck is wrong with us?

  16. Does this mean she cannot plead the 5th when testifying to Congress?

  17. She has two choices: 1) continue lying to protect Trump and the powerful clients and be pardoned, or 2) do not cooperate, remain in prison, and die in a manner similar to Epstein’s “assisted” suicide.

  18. “I was specifically told by my council that I could do it, because I asked them to look into it, but I haven’t thought about it.”

  19. He’s also allowed to release the Epstein files. But he won’t because he’s the main character.

  22. Inb4 sweetheart deal of pardon and in turn she “admits” that Obama was behind all of it

  23. If this is on the level, the public should be allowed to read a complete transcript of the meeting between Blanche and Maxwell with only names of the victims names redacted. Otherwise it’s a ‘deal’ that will be made to protect Trump. It’s really that simple. If she’s given a deal and/or pardoned, then she and Trump are guilty as sin.

  25. This is definitely a public signal that Ghislaine asked for to prove the seriousness of the pardon dangling that definitely occurred yesterday. They definitely offered her a pardon for lying about Trump’s involvement, and she said to prove that they would do it have Trump make a public statement to that effect. This is blatant corruption and witness tampering happening wide in the open.

  29. By the end of August he’s going to have MAGA convinced Ghislaine was convicted by a democrat hoax orchestrated by Obama.

  30. Let’s take a wild guess how this is going to go down….

    Maxwell names a bunch of people Trump doesn’t like and gets pardoned.

    That’s it, that’s the extent of the plan.

  31. I thought him pardoning the Jan 6ers that would change some peoples minds. Nope.

    I am willing to bet quite a bit this wouldn’t change their views either…

  32. Jeffrey Epstein is dead, but his accomplice who helped get him his victims is in prison.

    If Trump pardons this woman,, it’s not just signaling that he’s guilty as fuck, and scared that she will talk, it’s taking any sliver of any sense of justice done away from the people who were abused.

    If MAGA can spin this there is truly no bottom, and they can justify anything.

  33. She’s definitely threatening to disclose some shit in the wake of all the Epstein stuff… why else would he care?

  36. Can’t wait to see how the MAGA crowd spins this.

  37. “”It’s something I haven’t thought about,” Trump said as he prepared to depart the White House for Scotland.

    “I’m allowed to do it, but it’s something I have not thought about,” he said.”

    Says man who has been thinking about it for years

  39. I feel like going through with a pardon for her could be the one thing that might be a political death sentence for Trump. There is no mystery to her involvement, even from the right. Pardoning her is at the very least openly letting go a known sex trafficker and pedophile, but I think will also be seen from both sides as an admission of his guilt. It will be interesting to see how many supporters could actually turn a blind eye to that, but I think it would be the closest to the actual end we’ve seen

  40. How in the hell is this dude actively covering up the biggest childnsex trafficking ring in front of everyone?

  41. Does she not realize once she clears him she loses all leverage and will likely fall out a window or down some strains or overdose on fenty….

  42. Oh I’m sure everyone will love him pardoning a known sex trafficker. /s

    Like wtf?

  43. He’s telegraphing to her that a pardon is on the table if she helps him out.

    The DOJ is meeting with her again for a second day today, after he said this publicly.

    It’s all so transparent and unbelievable.

  44. They’re dangling a pardon in exchange for her coming out and saying Trump is innocent. So fucking obvious that it’s a cover up. Lmao.

  45. Remember when misspelling potato or getting a little too excited on the campaign trail was enough to end your political career?

    I miss those days.

  46. Why would he pardon her? It would just dump fuel on an already raging fire. The only reason I could think of is that she has something on him, he wants to keep her quiet and he can’t just Epstein her in her cell at this point.
