Interviewing Ghislaine Maxwell is the Trump administrationās first big move to allay concerns about its hugely unpopular handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche on FridayĀ wrapped up two days of interviewsĀ with Epsteinās convicted associate.
But there were already all kinds of reasons to be skeptical of this move and what it could produce, given the motivations of the two sides involved.
AndĀ President Donald Trump epitomized all of them in a major way on Friday.
While taking questions on his way to Scotland, Trump repeatedly held open the possibility of pardoning Maxwell for her crimes.
āWell, I donāt want to talk about that,ā Trump said initially.
When pressed, he said, āItās something I havenāt thought about,ā while conspicuously adding, āIām allowed to do it.ā
This wouldnāt be the first time Trump has appeared to dangle a pardon over someone providing evidence that could impact him personally and politically. (In this case, he hasĀ demonstrated past personal ties to Epstein, and his administration is scrambling to clean up its botched handling of the Epstein files after previously promising to release them.)
A similar situation played out during the Russia investigation, when Trump repeatedly left open the possibility of pardoning key witnesses like Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn and Michael Cohen. Critics alleged this amounted to obstruction of justice.
Special counsel Robert MuellerāsĀ reportĀ didnāt draw conclusions on possible obstruction, but it did cite Trumpās pardon comments as āevidenceā that Trumpās actions āhad the potential to influence Manafortās decision whether to cooperate with the government.ā
Manafort indeed wound up being a decidedly uncooperative witness, with a bipartisan Senate report sayingĀ his repeated lies hamstrung its own investigation. And TrumpĀ later pardoned himĀ in a move that could certainly be understood as a reward for his lack of cooperation.
We are a joke of a nation.

LMAO theyāre totally trying to launder her, and itās so wild and so transparent
I canāt wait to see what sheās going to say. Itās going to be an interesting story, trying to weave everything together
Unfortunately I donāt think she has to mesh everything, she just needs to lie. Whoās gonna do anything about it?
āMs. Maxwell, what about all those pictures and videos with epstein hanging out with Dump?ā
āOh, those were Obama.ā
We can do better. The ability to pardon should be stripped from our nation. It completely subverts the judicial branch and system. It is a power kings of the past had. We have no kings here.
Pardons should be done as a popular vote, IMO.
It is important to have a mechanism to right the past wrongs of a nation against someone, particularly when the judicial system has failed them. But yeah, thereās no need for it to be singularly in the hands of the president.

I think Trump underestimates just how large Pizzagate was and how much momentum it gave him.
If Trump is even slightly (going by the bare minimum) implicated in what is to come the following weeks his most internet savvy supporters will turn on him. Who knows what happens when the gears are groining but slowly turning.
Fingers crossed š¤
no morals, no problems
