Todd Blanche, #2 at DOJ, is "interviewing" Ghislaine Maxwell today. Aside from it being obvious tampering and probably threatening Maxwell, a proven liar and purjerer, I wonder if it's a desperate move prior to what Blanche and Bondi and Trump, et al, know is the next bombshell coming from the WSJ??
