Props to Politico for getting this right

Ghislaine Maxwell, who wants a pardon, says she never saw Donald Trump ‘in any inappropriate setting’ Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence, makes unfailingly flattering references to Trump, according to transcripts of the conversation released by the Justice Department on Friday.

Not “inappropriate”? She did not think finding grooming and participating in the sexual abuse of girls and young women was “inappropriate”. What she considers “appropriate” is why she is in prison in the first place.

exact words can matter. Trump wasn't president when Epstein behaved badly. www.reuters.com/world/us/ghi... "I never witnessed the President in any inappropriate setting in any way," Maxwell said ... "The President was never inappropriate with anybody."

Somehow -just somehow- I think Maxwell's idea of "Inappropriate" may be just a LITTLE different from everyone else's

Lee Phillips @leephillips.bsky.social

Maxwell’s “defenses” are performance, not proof. Hedged, lawyerly, and vague, they shield her from perjury while offering nothing substantive about Trump. To claim they “exonerate” him is theater—empty words staged to sound protective, but ultimately bullshit.

She’s a psychopathic pedophile and sex trafficker, and THE reason Epstein could run his child raping enterprise. She groomed and trained and recruited. She’s never shown any remorse, so of course she wouldn’t acknowledge anything as being inappropriate! #ReleaseThePedoFiles #BelieveTheVictims

WOW, that's very surprising headline from Politico but maybe because their only decent reporter (Kyle Cheney) who is not obsessed with access journalism contributed to the article.
