Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer has theorized that House Republicans declared an early summer recess not only to avoid voting on the Epstein files, but also to give President Donald Trump time to prepare documents to pardon Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
Sorry for the edited headline but i wanted to communicate the important bit.
Former federal prosecutor and Trump 45 labor secretary, Alex Acosta, offered Epstein a deal in 2007 that promised the feds would not prosecute Epstein or any of his co-conspirators in the future. He also only had to serve 13 months with daily 12-hour work-release… for 40 counts of underage prostitution.
Anyway, current US AG under Trump 47, Pam Bondi, declined to prosecute Epstein under state law the entire time she was Florida AG.
Maxwell’s family has said that her ongoing imprisonment violates that 2007 deal. An administration that wasn’t compromised by Epstein at every level might say “a-fuck-a-you” but, well…
Well, since Jeffrey went and offed himself, he broke the terms of the agreement, didn’t he? Escaping the justice system, eh?
Those “co-conspirators” should have chosen a more stand-up guy.
I just can’t see a world where that isn’t immediate political suicide for everyone involved. Short of a judge ordering her release, I don’t think she’s going anywhere.
