Influential MAGA voices are suddenly trying to cast Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking accomplice in a more favorable light.
The Justice Department is reportedly meeting with Maxwell on Thursday and Friday, ahead of her scheduled deposition with the House Oversight Committee on August 11. The interviews follow weeks of mounting pressure on Trump from his base, who have clamored for more transparency regarding the Epstein files after the Justice Department contradicted prior statements from Attorney General Pam Bondi on the existence of Jeffrey Epstein’s supposed client list.
Offering Maxwell as fodder to Trump’s hungry followers is a fascinating carrot-and-stick option to alleviate some of that tension, but convincing her to talk would almost certainly require some kind of deal—an option that pro-Trump conservative media networks started to imagine this week.
On Monday, Newsmax host Greg Kelly had already started to dabble in the new media line, suggesting on air that Maxwell didn’t deserve her 20-year prison sentence and openly embracing the idea that the Epstein associate could be wrongly convicted.
"And maybe she deserves it. Maybe she doesn’t. Again, not a very popular thing, but we’ll take a look,” Kelly told his viewers, even questioning if the child sex abuser had been legally tried in court. (She was.)
"She just might be a victim. She just might be,” Kelly said.
Maxwell was sentenced in 2022 for playing an active role in Epstein’s crimes, identifying and grooming vulnerable young women while normalizing their abuse as Epstein’s longtime girlfriend and associate.
"Maybe she wants immunity, maybe she wants some sort of protection, I don’t know,” Charlie Kirk said on his show Tuesday. “We just want the truth.… Some people say, ‘Can we trust Ghislaine Maxwell?’ Probably, but also probably not.”
Well yeah, after the Deputy AG threatens to “suicide” her if she doesn’t cover for them, they’re going to need their base to view her in a favorable light when she lies on the stand. These are the new marching orders.
Also, don’t forget Donald Trump is a convicted sex offender and probably raped children. Don’t let them distract you with this circus.
Based on the spin people like Charlie Kirk are trying to give her, they’ve obviously been given marching orders.
I’m guessing the plan is for Trump to pardon her and make it publicly known she was just an innocent victim in all this who was railroaded by the old corrupt DOJ.
And if the old DOJ could do that to a completely “innocent” girl like Jizzylane, why wouldn’t they also just make up the claims in that file to railroad Trump. This is why Trump had to suddenly fire James Comey’s daughter last week, who was Jizzylane’s prosecutor. Bcuz Deep state and whatnot.
I mean look at this guy. What about this guy suggests he’d ever do such disgusting acts?
That is nowhere near the worst photo of him romancing his own daughter, JFC.
theres one where his daughter looks like hes giving donald a lap DANCE.
Jizzylane
🎵 Jizzylane it’s in my ears and in my eyes 🎵
she was ALSO A “kung fu” coordinator too.
Just for posterity, Trump is not a convicted sex offender. The judge in a civil case concluded that he did rape E Jean Carroll, and I believe he is a rapist and pedophile, but he hasn’t ever been convicted of it in criminal court (not that it really matters because the powers that be would let him walk free).
It’s not bonkers. The entire playbook for the last however many years has been “just say the thing they’ll believe it” and they always fucking believe it
Can we trust Ghislaine Maxwell?’ Probably, but also probably not.
That’s not how that works you tiny faced asshole.
It absolutely is for them.
“Probably”: She only names Democrats.
“Probably not”: she names Trump and other Republicans.
They’ll decide if she’s trustworthy depending on if she says what they want to hear. :(
No, but it’s great if you’re trying to cover your ass, and look like you’re expressing an opinion when really you’re just being a coward.
Such a chickenshit way to talk. How to say nothing and lie while talking too much 101
Depends on if they like what she says lol
And yet again I ask myself: how do you deprogram a person brainwashed into tribalism and cultism so deeply that they will actively defend a pedophile as long as he is from their tribe (or is a leader of their cult)…
It’s so goddamned hard to feel compassion for people like that, but I try, I just seriously don’t know if anything except pharmacological intervention can help at this stage… :(
I feel the same way. I understand the people who say “fuck ‘em”, but I believe in second chances for most things (some of the more extreme crimes and actions are open for debate).
I’m not really sure myself how to break through the brainwashing but I saw an interesting article on here a few days ago about that same topic. I currently can’t remember the title but I’ll do a quick search when I finish my comment.
The gist of the article was, attacking people with facts doesn’t work but asking open ended questions that force the other person to explore why they think a certain thing to be true. My quick take on it is, they need to self reflect and not just feel.
Street Epistemology. The reason it works better is because it avoids confronting the person with a conflicting viewpoint and setting their defenses up. Instead the interest of what and why they think something is true lets them try to justify it, and (sometimes) that digging by themselves leads to a reevaluation. Even if it doesn’t work the first time, it can plant a seed of doubt about their world view that they didn’t have before (because they didn’t think too much about the WHY).
If that route is taken and they’re okay with the lack of validation of their own thoughts, there is nothing you can say to them to break out of that. They’re fine with the lack of facts, so how can facts change anything? As the saying goes, “you can’t reason someone out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into”, however like I said, you can give them something that might cause a break over time if you help them start a crack. But only they can do that.
I need to read more about this, thanks! I’m not even in the US or from it, so it’s not like I’ll ever actually discuss it with anyone, but I’m just fascinated by the whole MAGA phenomenon, in pay because other, hopefully less brain-washy right wing movements are popping up all over the world…
They definitely are other places as well to varying degrees. Some of it is just human nature and how our brains are wired to feed the ego when we believe we’re “right”, otherwise we wouldn’t have a history of constant disagreement, war, etc. over stupid stuff. The fundamentals of street epistemology is useful for any topic, from politics to religion to pseudosciences. It’s even helpful as self-validation, which will show how hard is can be to question your own beliefs, and maybe help understand how others can get caught up in thinking a certain way without actually thinking about it.
A full metal aspirin might not even do the trick
insulting peoples intelligence, not like the viewers of newsmax has any, is insulting the victms themselves.
This is going to blow up in spectacular fashion. Maybe they’ll storm the capitol again.
I mean Jesus Christ this is insane! If they pardon her that would be a very capitol storming worthy offense imo. This lady was the how he was able to keep his cover for as long as he did.
She helped lure kids into the fucking lions den! And now she might just be let off the hook? All bc he thinks it will help him better control the narrative? This shit makes me so unbelievably furious.
Jeffrey Epstein’s estate prevented his victims from suing Ghislaine Maxwell
The language in the release required the women to drop any existing lawsuits against Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime associate who multiple women have accused of sexually abusing them and of trafficking them to Epstein. The release also forbids accusers who accepted compensation from ever filing a lawsuit against Maxwell in the future.
For some accusers, being locked out of civil litigation against Maxwell has raised the stakes of the ongoing criminal case against her. Maxwell is currently standing trial in Manhattan federal court for allegedly grooming and trafficking girls to Epstein, and sexually abusing some of them herself. She’s pleaded not guilty to the charges.
So if Trump pardons her, its like none of that ever happened. So many innocent lives ruined, but none of the ones that fucking deserve it. One of the victims that had her own life ruined and risked it all to speak out, is dead (allegedly by suicide). The Royal family, wall street executives, and tons of other random rich fucks, all being shown once again, there are no consequences for them. They can do whatever they want to anybody they want. It’s how it always has been, and until we stop it, it’s how it always will be.
The Epstein-Trump controversy was always a distraction that would never lead anywhere. The misogynists of MAGA who groom young people into their fascist cult and pass child marriage laws would never seriously turn against Trump for this. They’re too satiated by him finally delivering actual purges of undesirable to be disappointed in him.
I’m annoyed that people kept making such a big deal out of a controlled controversy with no teeth. My guess is that worrying about deathcamps for minorities and the poor is too painful. I get it; it’s not fun to think about how awful and hopeless things seem. That doesn’t mean burying your head in a dead end controversy is the answer.
Edit: spelling
And meanwhile, the orange chickenshit issues an executive order demanding that the homeless and those struggling with addiction or any other mental health issues be involuntary committed to an institution. Meaning he’s already moving on to the next group of “undesirables”. But everywhere people insist you must focus only on Epstein!
Frankly, the whole pile of bullshit smells like a Russian psyop. First, just how many times have we seen this nonsense about “MAGA is starting to crack!”?? First, it’s fascism, which is not, in any way, founded on logic or reason. Second, am I really supposed to believe that molesting kids is what’s gonna make a god-forsaken Nazi blush?! I don’t think so.
Last but not least, GOP standing orders for the DOJ are to not prosecute the executive branch. Period. So what the heck do people think is gonna happen? The ambulatory pile of shit face any consequence?? Yeah right…
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
People are just hoping something good will happen without us doing it. Every bit of good that’ll come into this world rn will have to come from our own blood, sweat, and tears. Nobody will save us; that’s our job.

I read this in Tom Jumbo-Grumbo’s voice.
