Just like she was told to say - Ghislaine Maxwell told DOJ Trump never did anything concerning around her: Sources

ABC News

During her nine hours speaking with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche last month, Ghislaine Maxwell said nothing during the interview that would be harmful to President Donald Trump, telling Blanche that Trump had never done anything in her presence that would have caused concern, according to sources familiar with what Maxwell said.

The Trump administration, meanwhile, is considering publicly releasing the transcripts from the interview, multiple sources familiar with the internal discussions told ABC News.

Maxwell's meetings with Blanche took place for nine hours over two days.

There is also an audio recording of the interview, the sources said, but it's not clear whether the administration plans to release the audio to accompany any public release of the transcript.

How vague is that?

That could range from talking nonsense and wearing his shirt backwards, to trying to burn down the house.

Ethics and morals vary from person to person. What are her ethics and morals ? Willing to bet they are a lot different than mine.

Not gonna be surprise at all if/when the next State of the Union Address contains a variation on "well, she didn't look fifteen!!"

Even less surprised when the GOP attempts to retroactively lower the age of consent ("So Unfair!" ) to cover his ass.

People knowingly voted for a degenerate.

Federal judge: Epstein’s death dashes women’s hopes to toss secret pact

U.S. District Judge Kenneth Marra said Epstein’s death means he can’t throw out a once-secret agreement that allowed the 66-year-old financier to escape federal prosecution.

Palm Beach Daily Post, Sept. 16, 2019

WEST PALM BEACH — When convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein killed himself in a New York City jail cell last month, a lawsuit his victims filed to expose federal prosecutors’ mishandling of his case died with him, a federal judge ruled Monday.

In a 15-page order, U.S. District Judge Kenneth Marra said Epstein’s death means he can’t throw out a once-secret agreement that allowed the 66-year-old financier to escape federal prosecution for sexually abusing dozens of teenage girls at his Palm Beach mansion.

“As a result of Mr. Epstein’s death, there can be no criminal prosecution against him and the Court cannot consider granting this relief to the victims,” Marra wrote.

Further, while the controversial non-prosecution agreement also gave immunity to four women and unnamed others who helped the politically-connected millionaire recruit, groom or use teens for sex, Marra said he can’t waive the protection they received.
