But whats so unusual here is the federal criminal defendant is Ghislane Maxwell and the prosecutor is Deputy AG Todd Blanche, the No. 2 member of the Justice Department, Honig said, adding that many prosecutors would blanch at the idea of resorting to witness testimony from someone like Maxwell.
Its highly unlikely the DOJ signs on with Maxwell as a cooperator, he said. They have to be fully convinced she has come fully clean on everybody and everything. Shes shown no indication of any willingness to do that at any point over her life. And secondly, the DOJ has to be willing to base indictments on her testimony, to go to a judge and say we vouch for this person and we want you to give her a reduced sentence.
I think all of that is extremely remote, he said.

(2,484 posts)Maxwell saw what happened to Epstein, and knows full well what Trump is capable of. I would be very surprised if her death would not trigger the release of all kinds of incriminatory data.

(104,225 posts)so that the MAGA idiots will turn out for congressional Republicans next year. That could just be Maxwell swearing that Trump had nothing to do with it, or claiming that some Democrat did - this does not need to be of a good enough standard to be used in a court case, just to brainwash the gullible MAGA hordes that [insert Democrat names here] were the real pedophiles/hoaxers/traitors . Maxwell may have to wait until after the 2026 election to get a pardon - do it before, and MAGA will be suspicious. Do it after, and Trump won't give a fuck if they're suspicious or not.

Theyre going to discuss what they want and need her to say in return for her get-out-of-jail-free card.
Definitely not the truth
