Ghislaine Maxwell Sent Mysterious USB To DOJ Showing Melania/Krasnov Involvement With Epstein

Ghislaine Maxwell wants out of jail, and she is, more or less blackmailing Melania/Krasnov with the proof that Melania/Krasnov were very close with Epstein/Maxwell.

She sent the USB on April 16th to Jay Clayton a US attorney for the SDNY.

Click on the link, there is a nice email between Melania and Ghislaine.

I'm guessing this will get squashed, guessing that Democrats won't push this either.

“Dear G! How are you?” read one email message. “Nice story about JE in NY mag. You look great in the picture.” (email from Melania to Maxwell)

And yet there is very little about it. I think as long as she keeps saying Trump did nothing wrong she gets to be in the nicer prison. She thinks Trump is going to pardon her. But I don't think he will. Once he's out of office she'll be sent back to the prison she was in before.

one word, "waiver." The word waiver doesn't do shit for me. Where is the documentation that allowed the waiver, where are the reasons?

She was granted a waiver and that's the end of it? It is sickening.

I live among Magats and I have zero problem telling them that they vote for the pedophile party, and that Krasnov is a pedophile.

Assuming she has real proof on the Trumps, I think that is the best she can do.

If she had something that proves Trump was a pedophile, threatening to send it to say the NY AG if it happened in NY would likely see her condition in prison change back immediately to where she was or worse.

Maxwell is the ONLY one in jail from this group that harmed as many as 1000 girls. Not to mention, she was not on the fringe of this, but was deeply involved in acquiring, grooming and abusing them. A Trump pardon would be inexcusable even to some in his shrinking base. Not to mention, when Trump is out of office, she could be subpoenaed and could not use the fifth.

She is chumming the water, just putting out enough to get Krasnov's attention.

In other words Ghislaine is saying, It would be awful if I released the good stuff right before the election.

Professional Curtesy, used by law enforcement. It’s a free pass to be corrupted.
We are now seeing that with Pedo Curtesy between that group. More corruption.

Is BFF to one of The most ruthless, efficient “silencers” in the history of the world. And Putin owes her a HUGE favor for turning over America to him, from within the White House. All meticulously planned for decades. So ole Maxy has no idea the debt owed back to his greatest asset to end America, ever devised. And her success needs rewarded. Melania will not be touched from a now useless puppet that raped children sending threats to talk. The long arm of Puty will shut her down, because whether in prison or free from prison her mouth will always be a threat. She will always want more to shut up.
Extortionists always get greedy and burn through their first payout. Buh bye baby raper number 2. Hell has a spot.

They are also investigating Epstein's associates in their countries. They may also want to investigate the connections those associates had with Epstein's main US associates.

The lawyers must have Maxwell's computer drive with access to her documents and emails, or if not that, she has provided all documents for them to hold while she's in prison.

If something should happen to her in prison - if she gets "Epsteined" - those documents will be revealed in totality. That's what is keeping her alive, and it's also giving her lawyers something to fight with.

Apparently Melania is frightened at the thought of what Amanda Ungaro might reveal, and now she needs to worry about Maxwell also. This is all crystallized by the impending publication of Michael Wolff's next book, and that may be Melania's biggest nightmare of all. I believe Wolff has interviewed Ungaro and Maxwell as well as others.

32. A mystery USB ... what ? Oh, a flash drive ? Why not call it that ? "USB" is ambiguous.
Thu Apr 23, 2026, 04:16 PM
Apr 23

The fact that it is a storage device is far more relevant than the type of connector it has. Would anyone have said "she sent a SCSI" or "an IDE" or "a FireWire" or "a SATA" ? No, they would have said she sent a "hard drive" or "SSD". Using "USB" for "flash drive" or "storage" is more slang than anything. There are USB cards, cameras, keyboards, mice, FireWire transceivers, etc. Who decided that only storage would monopolize the term "USB" ? I hope this doesn't become general usage, because it's not well thought out at all.

A "thumb drive" might be slang, but at least that term is used for only one thing, so it's still unambiguous. Some just might not be familiar with that term, but if they look it up or ask around, they'll only get one answer. Ask "what's a USB" and most people will tell you, correctly, it's a type of connector/connection.
