How It’s About To Go Down


 

This is pretty much doing the Republicans’ work for them,

First, we have no idea what Maxwell said to Blanche, because no one was in the room but the two of them. Her lawyer has said she cooperated fully and answered all the questions honestly. Which is what her lawyer said when she was facing perjury charges.

Blanche hasn’t said anything, and Maxwell is in prison, not usually a place for press conferences (nor would she do her appeal any good to hold one).

My educated guess is, Blanche and Maxwell spent 9 hours working out a pardon deal, on a quid pro quo basis (not how pardons are supposed to work, but I’m sure Roberts will allow it). We don’t know what questions he asked, or what answers she gave, so as long as she doesn’t contradict him, we’ll never know.

Then again, she’s an accused perjurer and a convicted pedophile (as that term is loosely used).

And she’s not Trump running for office, so that record probably still means something.

I know Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk say MAGA is over Epstein, but I see no evidence MAGA is listening to them. So I don’t think MAGA is going to accept a pardon for a child sex trafficker in exchange for any names at all. Besides: the DOJ releasing names of prominent people who are marked as guilty just because they knew Jeffrey Epstein? We already have that with Alan Dershowitz. Victims of Epstein insist Dershowitz had sex with them; he denies it. He hasn’t been arrested, and he hasn’t sued. MAGA is upset already that the files haven’t been released. Are they going to be satisfied by a list of names that don’t produce prosecutions? And how many prominent people will sue Maxwell for slander? Trump can’t pardon that. Or sue Blanche, for that matter? Or Bondi?There’s no immunity for violations of law or ethical standards, not from civil suits. 

The more I think about it, the more I think throwing out names like raw meat is not going to do much, anyway. Bill Clinton has been named (again), but there is no clamor for his head. Nor does his name satisfy demands for “justice.” I really don’t think 100 new names is going to make any difference, and the ethics of revealing them at all are tricky. MAGA wants a revelation that ends with all the evil people in prison. Which is never going to happen; so MAGA’s never going to be satisfied. 

Of course, why should anyone believe what Blanche says she said, without the files to corroborate?

And that’s Trump’s inescapable dilemma.

Trump is in charge now. He can’t keep accusing people of crimes without prosecuting them. Not anymore, anyway.

Or they could argue that Obama did it in 2008 with his time machine before he became President, because he’d been to 2025 in the same time machine.
You can’t make this shit up. Only they can.
