I have been saying this for quite some time. We have two problems:

first, the corruption in the Trump regime is right out in the open now, and has been for quite some time. And what isn’t corrupt is incompetent.

SecondBoth Congress and the Supreme Court have failed to do their jobs, which means they have failed the people of the United States, which means they have failed the constitution. And thus, the constitution has failed us.

A pardon for Maxwell? Why? It’s very much like the 1500 pardons for the January 6 insurrectionists. Pardon should exist only for gross injustice, not for political convenience.

I have no answer for this.

Trump has all the cards. He pardons her? She shuts up. He wins. No Lone Ranger in sight.

This is an absurd and meaningless meeting by longtime Trump fixer and twice convicted purger G. Maxwell. Whatever lies she might trump up to cut a deal for a pardon will never come close to what is in the files already. She only had potentially new disinformation to share. This is nothing but a diversion like so many of the others. Here's what I wrote about this yesterday for Raw Story: https://www.newsbreak.com/raw-story-2096750/4127683141203-trump-s-rage-threatens-to-unearth-his-biggest-skeletons-opinion.

I may be naive, but I believe a pardon would require her to testify truthfully or face perjury charges.

I do think that’s a bit naive sorry. They aren’t going to care.

We all know that it’s a sure sign of Trump guilt and massive coverup if Ms Maxwell walks. How much more obvious could it get? Not to mention putting a sex trafficker back on the street with all the 1600 terrorists he put back out there. But sure immigrants are our problem? Sure hope this country or most of it wakes up soon and understands that Donnie has to be removed from power one way or another as do all the despicable republicans who condone all this corrupt lawless behavior. Every one of them should be on the end of a rope doing a Mussolini swing after we get past this era. IF! Never seen such blatant outright corruption supposedly by patriots and Christians. They’re all dirty disgusting hypocrites and worse. Yet PROUD of having no morals and no character. This is what our young people see for examples. Glad I won’t still be here when our children come to power after learning from these scumbags.

Corruption by Christians.

You need only Google "sexual abuse catholic priests" or "sexual abuse Protestant pastors" to find out about years, decades, centuries of sexual abuse, usually if children, and what those denominations have done to cover it all up. The difference is now that the corruption is right out in the open for everyone to see And the people who claim to be concerned about corruption clearly are not.

Of course she has info on Trump and his dealings with Epstein. What I wonder is why the Democrats don't have an attorney present also. Not going to believe one word of Donnie's attorney which will be DENY, DENY, DENY

I think you're wrong in this statement: "And now, he’s blocking the release of the Epstein files—not just to protect himself, but likely to shield his cronies, cabinet members, and donors." He doesn't give a $#!+ about anybody else, unless it serves his personal interests. I think it's important that we acknowledge that.

I think he cares in so much as they have dirt on him and they’re useful to him, like Bannon

This is "Tom Hagen" going to visit Frankie Pentangeli to stop him from testifying against Michael. These "people " are such bozos and incompetents they cannot come up with an original thought and if I were Maxwell, I would be terrified. She needs around the clock protection NOW.

Stay on it, Mike. Tell every person you associate with who's in office to stay on it using whatever means they can. Flood social media. Have all the guests you have on this substack flood theirs as well. We need to put this man and whoever shields him behind bars for a very long time.

She was also charged with purgery so why would anyone believe a word she says, if they make a deal she will lie to be free!

It was party time for perverts and sexual predators in Palm Beach during the early 1990s. I lived nearby in Cape Canaveral and Jupiter, FL frequently m 1990 until 1995. I am not surprised by all of this.

A very sick society we have here. They should have all been exposed long ago. If it were you or me, it would be splattered everywhere. Who cares if they are D or R. They knew what the guy was.

You really need to see all the signed NDA’s, then corroborate with the videos, audio, photo’s and witness statements.

No one needs Maxwells' input. The facts ae out there, in the files, but especially as told by the victims of those rapists. You remember the victims, Right? It's about time they were taken seriously and listened to.

And every last one of those files needs to be released now.
