It’s clear that the main goal of the Maxwell interview was to get her to say that she didn’t see Trump do anything wrong. Which can only mean that there is something in the files that suggests that he did. Why else would she need to say that? The interview is more incriminating, not less.

In October 2007, at a point when Epstein's plea was not public, Page Six reported on everything going on, including the plan to smear the victims. "Mar-a-Lago" described THE SECOND of Trump's "spa girls" stolen by Epstein (the first known was Virginia Giuffre). pagesix.com/2007/10/15/s...
![Meanwhile, the Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach last night confirmed a Web site report that Epstein has been banned there. “He would use the spa to try to procure girls. But one of them, a masseuse about 18 years old, he tried to get her to do things,” a source told us. “Her father found out about it and went absolutely ape-[bleep]. Epstein’s not allowed back.” Epstein denies he is banned from Mar-a-Lago and says, in fact, he was recently invited to an event there.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo/bafkreiad6ydkdlkhhuglg4qmuzjskmdftecshpmqebugamzframr53cj6q@jpeg "Click to view full size")

(1/3) I believe, more than ever, Trump needs to be chided, insulted, and laughed at. His ability to let things go, is nil. He's making mistakes. He's narcissistically battered over poor polling, increasingly paranoid, and his hyperbolic posts (like the many wars he's ended) are laughably false.
Turns out the Trump administration really did huddle behind closed doors to talk about the Jeffrey Epstein files, despite JD Vance’s public denial.

1/ Important: "Epstein was actually still on the Mar-a-Lago membership logs up to 2007. ... That of course is a year after Jeffrey Epstein's arrest in Florida." So Trump didn't kick him out for many years after knowing Epstein 'stole' Virginia Giuffre from MAL in 2000. 🧵

A pretty basic FBI rule of thumb is to always go into an interview knowing more than they think you know. No way Blanche digested the whole Epstein/Maxwell case. Original prosecutor fired. No FBI agents. Victims left out. How did he know how to test her credibility? What follow up questions to ask?
And even with limited immunity, Maxwell could still be prosecuted for perjury if she lied in her interview. With no FBI agent present, that’s pretty much impossible — likely by design.

2 points here: 1) There's no statute of limitations in New York for Ghislaine Maxwell's crimes (maybe also options in New Mexico and Florida). A pardon can't stop state prosecutions. 2) We just got another reason to release the Epstein files: so the public can test Maxwell's truthfulness.
