Todd Blanche was Donald Trump’s personal lawyer in his criminal trial in New York City. Blanche is now Deputy Attorney General of the United States, the second highest position in the Department of Justice. Blanche is also the Acting Librarian of Congress, holding the job after Trump fired the Librarian of Congress for engaging in DEI.
According to news reports, Blanche will meet with Ghislaine Maxwell at her prison in Tallahassee to discuss her knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein’s pedophile activities. Maxwell was Epstein’s closest associate. His underage victims testified that she helped him and participated in the sexual abuse.
Maxwell was convicted of sex trafficking minors and other related counts. She is serving a sentence of 20 years in prison. She did not testify at her trial. Her lawyers appealed her conviction. Her appeal was denied by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in September 2024. She is currently appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court to have her conviction overturned.
My bet: Todd Blanche will offer her a Presidential pardon in return for her statement that Trump was never involved in any Epstein-related pedophile activities. They were just very good friends.
Do you think he would offer her freedom in exchange for her statement?
Do you think she would take the offer?

Yes, he will dangle a pardon but she can’t say that the men were good friends. That’s what the convicted felon is trying to hide (along with his obsession of young pretty girls).
Trouble is her conviction did not bring up Epstein, so she can’t say anything about him without opening a new investigation on her knowing what he did.
I do have a point – when the FBI investigated Maxwell and handed over files, etc to the DOJ… did they interrogate her? Blanche’s statement that this is the first time they are talking to her is a lie.

Since then, like Senator Ron Wyden, D-Or, I’ve been following the money in the Epstein matter.

Martha,
Excellent reporting.

Thanks, Diane. The only question that matters to me now is whether Trump profited financially from any of Epstein’s numerous unlawful enterprises, only one of which had to do with victimizing young women.

Martha,
No one has ever explained how Epstein became fabulously wealthy. One possibility is that he blackmailed the men who enjoyed his girls and were videotaped.
The FBI seized the videotapes. Where are they now?

I have been reading about how he got rich. I might write about it. It’s part sex blackmail but more that he was employed by some wealthy individuals to be their “money managers.” I did more research last night. More later.

I can’t help but think that Maxwell will do whatever she can to make a deal and Trump/Bondi and many others will do what they can to accommodate. Doubt very much that there’s an altruistic slant to her actions. This is a person who dealt in sex trafficking of young women. She wants her freedom and some very powerful people want her to keep her mouth shut.
They’re all trying their best to find a way out of this self made mess. Disgusting people. My bet is that she’s free or, at worst, under “house arrest” by December.
And excellent reporting, Martha. Great points, ladyfair.
