The words coming out of Trump's mouth about the ability to pardon GM are so egregious that Trump's base should abandon him. How could anyone possibly justify the pardon? Who would even attempt to justify it. Mad Mike Johnson??? MTG? Rogan? How could anyone come up with any logical reasoning other than it being such a tell, such a damning maneuver and such a death knoll to the girls who were victimized? These are sad times, indeed.

Jim Acosta has Trump Derangement syndrome and doesn’t get that Maxwell didn’t get a fair trial and ought to have her sentence commuted … her treatment was horrendous and most facilitators barely get more than 6 years for primary offenders.. Virgina was a pathological liar… ALISON MACK 3 years and Bronfman 4 years and RJ KELLY who were worse than Epstein and his right hand men and woman recruiters got suspended sentence so Maxwell is doing esptein crime- Dershowitz is right .

Epstein was poaching young girls, then encouraging those girls to bring in other girls…. It’s so gross. If 1% of Katie Johnson’s testimony is correct - DJT should be in jail for the rest of his life. It is horrific.

Epstein & DJT have “strange” money coincidences- follow the money people! This is a deeper scandal, the girls are only the beginning. Follow the money of Maxwell, Epstein, DJT, Wexner, etc. keep following the money!

The incendiary trash that keeps coming out of the White House should be enough to completely discredit him, but so much was known already and he was elected. He does not care about any victims, only himself. Daily doses of sickness. I appreciate the comments that there is lessening GOP support but that is just verbiage as they still vote for him-not our country 🤨

Wasn't Virginia a minor? How could she have been working for Trump at his spa?

Hmmph. Do we really think the leadership in Florida would do anything to pursue charges against GM if she does receive a presidential pardon. DeSanti???? Ha...Right.

I want to know what Mad Mike Johnson will say if a pardon of GM is given by President Trump.

The fallout between trump & Ep was NOT about employees. You MUST understand that virtually everything trump says is either a lie or embellishment. He made that story into self-promotion ("I told him to get lost, threw him out, I'm a hero, I'm a tough guy, don't mess with me"). Seth Abramson does a far better job of reporting truth: "As these outlets have reported, and as Epstein himself explained to Wolff at length, and as covered by the Palm Beach Post in detail here, in 2004 Epstein put in a $36 million bid to buy the former home of a close business associate and personal friend of his, Leslie Wexner. Epstein and Wexner were so close that the latter was one of the only publicly acknowledged clients of Epstein’s boutique investment firm; in fact, for reasons still mysterious, Epstein even had power of attorney over Wexner’s financial affairs. It was a dispute between Epstein and Trump over the Wexner Estate that led to the sudden break-up of their lengthy bromance—and in this case Donald Trump was the sole antagonist, and it was Epstein (hard as it is to believe) who was the sole victim." Facts matter.

What about the now First Lady? What was her role in all of this?

Even having her employed in the spa at Mar a Lago when she was 14 would be an issue surely.

Trump doesn't want to pardon her I think. He'll be getting pressure from Israel perhaps. He must know it's going to set off a huge outrage in his Maga camp. I don't think he likes this Epstein tawdry business at all. He's just worried like all of them how much they got on him given they were setting him and other powerful men up to be complicit whether they were or not.

I wonder if when people look at the whole clip of Trump saying I wish her well they don't see him threatening her a little bit. He insinuates that Jeffrey died in prison possibly of murder then he says I wish her well. Just a thought I have after watching that clip. I know it sounds like a tin foil hat moment. Lol.
