The partner of late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, completed a second day of questioning on Friday, where she shared information on about 100 different people with the Justice Department.

Maxwell, who was convicted of child sex trafficking in connection with the disgraced financier in 2021, met with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche for about three hours on Friday at a courthouse in Tallahassee, Florida.

She also sat down with Blanche to answer questions for about six hours on Thursday as the Justice Department tries to quell fallout over its handling of the Epstein files.

    And surprise everyone on the list is a Trump enemy. Fucking clown. If MAGA buys this, there is truly no hope for them. All this dissent in MAGA-land recently got my hopes up.

      If MAGA buys this, there is truly no hope for them.

      If? - like it’s even a question.

      This? - They swallowed everything else so far. why stop now?

      Hope? - They are beyond redemption.

    Do people think that Epstein and Maxwell actually ran the organisation, rather than just being the sales people?

        From what it sounded like they asked her names. Not she gave them. So either A it was the legitimate list they were just saying didn’t exist, or B. they asked names that they wanted answers too. Being they fired anyone they wanted, the people asking the questions… Intended to get those specific people investigated further.

          I would bet they have the “non existent” list & were trying to get her to confirm their hit list… Then they can say “These names were confirmed” even though those were the only ones they asked about.

    I don’t think anything released at this point will be believed. Trump will more tha likely remove himself, so it’s possible that he would also just have Maxwell add names he wanted.

    I take that back. His base will believe anything as long as SOMETHING is released.

        Well, given our low voter turnouts…

        Roughly 1/3 of our population is so stupid and hateful that they would rather have a President that hurts people they don’t like, than uh… anything else.

        I feel like a lot of non US people really do not fully comprehend the level of just literal hatred that fuels many Americans, as well as how common it is to be extremely charismatically performative in a massively hypocritical way, in just every aspect of life.

        We are a country of adults that read at an average of a 6th grade level, with astonishing levels of religious extremism and cults (compared to other countries with similar levels of economic development), who are aware our society is collapsing, but are largely too stupid to even understand why.

        We were sold the lie of American Exceptionalism, were indoctrinated into it as a sort of secular cult, it is now apparent this is/was all a lie, and people are (have been) essentially having a kind of mass psychosis in terms of how they handle this revalation.

        Our systems are massively corrupt, they’ve been incrementally corrupting for decades, but the effect has been snowballing.

        A few people and groups would pop up from time to time and point this out, and push for a specific, meaningful reform to actually stymie this at a systemic level, and they would be crushed by both corporate and political PR campaigns, but also just a general sense of ‘you are overreacting and hysterical’ in the broad population, that came from that smug security of the American Exceptionalism ethos.

        Basically, we are largely a nation of incurious, brutish, overconfident, malignant narcissists, who revel in biased reasoning ortiented toward justifying an already held belief, who are often already taught from a young age to evaluate the world with the irrational magical thinking of religious cults, which normalizes cognitive dissonance and conspiracism, which then leads to the present outcome you correctly find to be so absurd.

      I actually think Clinton is not on the list. Not because I don’t think he’s capable of such acts (which I tentatively do) but because engaging in such acts as a former president and with a wife with lofty political ambitions is a pretty high bar. And, perhaps most of all, with this congress and this DOJ and this president, if Clinton was on the list we’d absolutely know it by now.

        Bill Clinton almost certainly belongs on the list. Furthermore, I think he is the primary reason the Democrats didn’t/couldn’t use Epstein to destroy Trump years ago.

          That may have been plausible in 2016 (when Hillary was running,) but not in 2020 and 2024. There’s zero chance the DNC would’ve sat on evidence that would’ve convicted Trump to protect Bill.

          If he does end up absent on the list, I think it’s precisely because of the Lewinsky scandal. Why would you make the same mistake twice.

          And I’m certainly not trying to defend Clinton here, but we should keep in mind none of his (many) infidelities were illegal / with underage girls. Which, it needs to be said, didn’t make them ‘okay.’

        I don’t think Clinton’s on the actual client list, either, even though we know he flew in his plane. But he is definitely on the list that they asked Maxwell to rubber-stamp.
