Ghislaine Maxwell has Trump right where she wants him. If she doesn't get a pardon, she will take the Fifth if called to testify to Congress, and will not certify under oath, she didn't witness Trump having sex with underage girls.
Trump's critics can then attack her prior interview with Todd Blanche, where Maxwell gave Trump what he wanted. She was promptly rewarded with a cushy prison environment.
CNN: CNN learning that convicted Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell will plead the fifth if she is called to testify before the House Oversight Committee, which led the Republican chairman, James Comer, to suggest to Politico that it was unlikely the committee would bother to bring her in.
Rep. James Comer is the weakest weasel to ever hold Congressional investigations. He won't call the convicted sex trafficker, but will hold Bill and Hillary in contempt if they refuse to comply with his subpoena.
Sure, why bother with Epstein's co-conspirator. Why not call in Demented Donald? It would be wonderful to hear Trump say he doesn't remember 500 times.
What would be a wonderful outcome is if Trump first pardon's Ghislaine. The MAGA cult flips out and eats itself alive. Maxwell is called to testify and still throws Demented Donald under the bus.
One can dream, can't I?
Lawrence O'Donnell highlighted Trump's subservience to Maxwell throughout his show last night. The MS NOW host blasted Trump for claiming he would possibly pardon Maxwell, but would never pardon Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.
ODONNELL: The man who has publicly acknowledged that he's thinking about pardoning his old friend Ghislaine Maxwell a convicted sex trafficker, who was a co-conspirator of Donald Trump's closest friend Jeffrey Epstein, made a joke about pardons today.
The man who seems to want to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell after she was convicted of luring young girls into the home of a rapist and sex trafficker, who ruined their lives. Made a joke about pardons today and he told us the two people who he would never pardon and those two people are not his old friends Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein.
TRUMP: The turkeys being pardoned today go by the names of gobble and waddle when I first saw their pictures I thought we should send them well, I'm gonna I shouldn't say this. I was gonna call him Chuck and Nancy But then I realized I wouldn't be pardoning them. I would never pardon those two people.
ODONNELL: But he seems to want to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell. He would never pardon those two people, but he seems to want to pardon her. He would pardon Ghislaine Maxwell because she said to Donald Trump's criminal defense lawyer who is now his deputy attorney general that she never saw Donald Trump do anything wrong?
