Trump's Art of the Child Rape Exoneration Deal

As soon as Trump's bonded Attorney General Pam Bondage announced that Todd Blanche, the fixer attorney for Donald Trump, will be visiting Ghislaine Maxwell in her Florida jail in the heat of the erupting child sex abuse scandal involving her, Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, I knew that a deal was in the offing: She will exonerate Trump with a few lies, and he'll pardon her. See: https://lebanoniznogood.blogspot.com/2025/07/pedophile-trump-to-pardon-maxwell-for.html 

In fact, Maxwell was moved from Florida to a posh cushy jail in Texas where she will do yoga, learn foreign languages and care for puppies. For a child rapist, that is not such a bad deal. I'd rather see her thrown in Alligator Alcatraz with a bunch of horny illegal migrants from Honduras and El Salvador.

But now it is an established fact. A quid pro quo is being "arranged" Cosa Nostra style, in which Maxwell will say: 

- she never saw Trump fucking the underage girls she harvested for him and Epstein,

- nor did she ever see Trump around Epstein (despite a multitude of pictures and records showing they were very close and sharing "wonderful secrets"), but

- that she did see Bill and Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and every other Democrat opponent of Trump... 

... in exchange for Trump commuting her sentence or even pardoning her ON CONDITION SHE NEVER TELLS THE TRUTH. A very convenient "deal" for the Moron-in-Chief, wouldn't you say?

By the way, the senile demented moron was seen today walking on the roof of the White House, planning more redesign of the place. It appears he wants to build a dome on top of the White House as his way to give middle finger to the dome on top of the Capitol.

Lawrence O'Donnell Makes Chilling Prediction On Trump And Ghislaine Maxwell

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell is predicting a pardon for convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, whose accomplice Jeffrey Epstein died in prison while awaiting trial — as long as she exonerates President Donald Trump from any potential involvement in their crimes.

Trump has been shown in footage and photos from the 1990s and early 2000s socializing with Maxwell and Epstein, whose ties to powerful figures, along with Epstein’s apparent jailhouse suicide in 2019, fueled enduring rumors of a “client list” U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi suggested she was reviewing earlier this year.

“We’ve all seen the photographs of Donald Trump hanging out with Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein during the Epstein and Maxwell reign of terror against more than a thousand children,” O’Donnell said during Monday’s edition of “The Last Word.”

Trump has openly dismissed public demands for any remaining Justice Department files on Epstein to be shared. But amid mounting backlash over this scandal, the administration now appears to be considering a deal with Maxwell.

U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche visited Maxwell last month, only for Trump to claim he wasn’t aware of the meeting. Last week, the Bureau of Prisons transferred Maxwell from a low-security federal prison in Florida to a minimum-security facility in Texas.

“Donald Trump just now has no idea why his former criminal defense lawyer … became the very first deputy attorney general in history to go to a prison to interview a convicted sex trafficker who the president of the United States personally wishes well,” said O’Donnell.

Trump did indeed “wish her well” when asked in 2020 about Maxwell’s then-recent arrest.

O’Donnell noted that Trump is now in a position to make his own well-wishes come true, as he personally has the ability to free Maxwell — who was convicted of trafficking and recruiting children for sexual abuse by Epstein, but is suspected of having had far more clients — before her 20-year sentence is up.

O’Donnell argued that a pardon for Maxwell could be damaging to Republicans, however, so Trump would have to time it strategically.

“If Donald Trump lets Ghislaine Maxwell out of prison on his last day in office in exchange for her publicly insisting that she and Jeffrey Epstein were never really friends with Donald Trump and that Donald Trump knew nothing about anything illegal that they ever did, well, the last day of the presidency would be the time for him to do that,” he said.

“And then Donald Trump’s wishing her well will really and fully come true,” he concluded.

Federal prosecutors said that Maxwell and Epstein were “predators together” and “molested kids together,” O’Donnell reminded viewers, since some pro-Trump voices are already suggesting that a pardon would be justified if she helps authorities identify other potential accomplices or clients.

O’Donnell also reiterated how curious it is that Maxwell, who “personally molested children,” was moved to a “much more pleasant facility” after speaking with Trump’s lawyer. Her sentencing rules do not even allow her to serve time there, he said, so “someone had to wish really hard” for that to happen.

“So she’s now guaranteed a very easy time in federal custody for the remainder of the Trump presidency,” he added. “And then, on the last day of the Trump presidency, Ghislaine Maxwell could walk free in exchange for never saying anything negative about Donald Trump.”

Ghislaine Maxwell told Justice Department she never saw Trump do anything concerning with Epstein, report says

Ghislaine Maxwell said that she never saw Donald Trump do anything that would cause concern, during her hours-long meetings with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche over the Jeffrey Epstein case, according to ABC News.

The Trump administration is considering whether to release the transcript from Blanche’s meetings with Maxwell last month, ABC News reported. CNN first reported that the meeting was recorded and is being digitized.

The White House has been trying to contain fallout from the so-called “Epstein Files” for weeks after a Justice Department memo concluded there were no more significant disclosures to be made in the case. Vice President JD Vance is holding a strategy meeting with other top officials Wednesday evening to work on their handling of the Epstein case, CNN reported.

Amid calls for increased transparency from across the political spectrum, Blanche met with Maxwell at a Florida courthouse for two days in July.

Maxwell, 63, is serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in a sex trafficking scheme to abuse girls with Epstein. Her attorneys have taken an appeal of her conviction to the Supreme Court.

“She was asked about maybe about 100 different people. She answered questions about everybody and she didn't hold anything back,” her attorney David Oskar Markus said of her meetings with Blanche. “She never invoked a privilege. She never refused to answer a question. So we’re very proud of her.”

Blanche met with Maxwell in Tallahassee, Florida, where she was being held in federal prison. Earlier this week, she was moved to a minimum-security prison camp in Texas.

The president was asked Tuesday if he had personally approved Maxwell’s transfer. “I didn’t know about it at all. I read about it just like you did,” he said. “It’s not a very uncommon thing.”

Trump and Epstein were friendly in the 1990s and early 2000s and were seen together at parties in Palm Beach and New York.

Trump called Epstein a “terrific guy" in a 2002 New York Magazine article, and flight records show that he flew on the financier's private jet.

Their friendship dissolved around the mid-2000s. After Epstein's arrest on sex trafficking charges in 2019, the president told reporters he hadn't spoken to him in 15 years. A Mar-a-Lago member told the Miami Herald that Trump had Epstein kicked out in 2007 after the financier "harassed the daughter of a member.”

The president has repeatedly called Epstein a "creep." Last week, Trump revealed that he had ended his friendship with Epstein after he “stole” young female employees from his private club.

Trump has never been formally accused of wrongdoing or charged with any crime in connection with the Epstein case.

To try to quell the uproar over the Epstein Files, the president directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to release “any and all pertinent” grand jury transcripts from the Maxwell and Epstein criminal cases. Bondi filed requests with the courts to release the transcripts, which are under seal. Experts say these documents only make up a small portion of the files related to the investigations.

Maxwell, however, is opposed to unsealing the grand jury transcripts.

With her petition pending before the Supreme Court, her lawyers argued that releasing the raw transcripts would “inevitably influence any future legal proceeding” and cause “severe and irrevocable” reputational harm. Maxwell has never been allowed to review the documents, they said in a Tuesday memo to the court.

The judges overseeing the cases previously asked the government to address legal questions before they can consider releasing them.

On Monday, the DOJ gave the judges annotated versions of the transcripts, identifying what information is not publicly available. However in an attached memo, Bondi admitted that “much” of the information in the transcripts is already in the public domain.

“The enclosed, annotated transcripts show that much of the information provided during the course of the grand jury testimony—with the exception of the identities of certain victims and witnesses—was made publicly available at trial or has otherwise been publicly reported through the public statements of victims and witnesses,” Bondi wrote.

The attorney general also noted that the government has provided notice about its requests to unseal transcripts to all but one of the victims referenced in the documents. “The Government still has been unable to contact that remaining victim,” she wrote.

Annie Farmer, a survivor of Epstein who testified at Maxwell’s trial, voiced her support for unsealing the transcripts — with redactions to protect victims’ information — in a letter to the judges overseeing the New York cases.

"Given the magnitude and abhorrence of Epstein and Maxwell’s crimes, unsealing the grand jury transcripts is not just appropriate, it is necessary to understand the full scope of the abuse and those who enabled it,” Farmer’s attorneys wrote in a Tuesday filing.

Farmer called the DOJ’s decision not to investigate uncharged third parties in connection with Epstein as “a cowardly abdication of its duties to protect and serve.”

Two other Epstein survivors criticized the Trump administration’s handling of the case earlier this week. The victims remained anonymous and filed their letters in the New York case related to the late sex offender.

“The latest attention on the ‘Epstein Files’, the ‘Client List’ is OUT OF CONTROL and the ones that are left to suffer are not the high-profile individuals, IT IS THE VICTIMS. Why the lack of concern in handling such sensitive information for the victims sake?” one wrote in a Monday filing.

Another wrote: “Dear United States, I wish you would have handled and would handle the whole ‘Epstein Files’ with more respect towards and for the victims. I am not some pawn in your political warfare.”

The administration’s handling of the case has been under heightened scrutiny since the Justice Department released its July 6 Epstein memo, in which the DOJ confirmed that Epstein died by suicide and stated there was no evidence to support the existence of a “client list” of high-profile individuals involved in his alleged sex trafficking.

The memo put to an end months-long anticipation for new information in the Epstein case. In February, Bondi had released “Phase 1” of the files, a tranche of documents that included mostly publicly available information. She also suggested that the “client list”was sitting on her desk.

Parts of Trump’s MAGA base and prominent lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for heightened transparency around the Epstein files.

Those calls grew louder after the Wall Street Journal published a report last month claiming that the president drew a sexually suggestive 50th birthday card for Epstein in 2003. Trump has vehemently denied making the card and sued the Journal in a $10 billion defamation case.

The Wall Street Journal also reported that DOJ officials told the president in May that his name, among many others, had appeared in the Epstein Files. Being named in the files does not suggest any wrongdoing.

The president’s name was reportedly redacted from documents as the administration prepared for their potential public release, Bloomberg reported last week.
