Ron Filipkowski has a way with words

[senseandsensibility]

After the story broke this morning that the Justice Dept is going to interview Maxwell,
he wrote: "So instead of releasing the Epstein Files which contain all the evidence in the case, Trump is going to try and release grand jury transcripts that contain far less than 1% of the evidence, & secure a statement from Maxwell who has every incentive to lie for a sentence reduction."

The corporate media will do everything they can to ignore these two obvious points, however.

1. ....and Maga will be so happy to forget all about it. Another hoax for RW radio and podcasts. nt

[senseandsensibility]

2. Critical thinking does not seem to be their forte

to put it mildly, but Dem should be screaming about his efforts to distract and how compromised any Maxwell testimony would be.

[Geechie]

3. I would edit that last part though

"Maxwell who has every incentive to lie for a sentence reduction not get murdered in prison like her partner."

[senseandsensibility]

4. Yikes

[flashman13]

6. She would be dead already, but she has made it known in certain circles that if anything happens to her

(ala DC Madame) there will be a mass dump of all of the most incriminating evidence that she has hidden away.

[calimary]

8. I wouldn't be a bit surprised!

[Dr. T]

5. I've heard that the Maxwell interview will be closed door.

No one but Trump loyalists in the room. Why do you suppose that is?

[senseandsensibility]

7. Not suspicious at all

right? Usonian just posted a great OP about the Dems getting ahead of this story now. They should be setting the narrative now instead of reacting in September or whenever.

[calimary]

9. Really frustrating!

Don’t our Dems have at least a FEW devious thinkers in their corner?

And if they don’t, then WHY THE HELL NOT???

[senseandsensibility]

10. Finally! There's a chyron on MSNBC that says

Critics Fear Maxwell Could Use DOJ Intv to get "Leniency" Ya think?

[homegirl]

11. Or to

negotiate a pardon* in exchange for silence and a Do Not Disclose deal.

* Or reduced sentence, maybe time served!

Is Maxwell serving a federal or state sentence?

[thesquanderer]

16. Federal. (nt)

[KPN]

13. Meaningless unless the same chyron's on CBS, NBC and ABC evening news

as well, not to mention as a headline on all major newspapers.

Question: What are the chances of that?
Answer: Nill.

12. Prisoner Maxwell. Did you know anything about Donald Trump having sex with underage girls?

G.M.: Alls I know is, he got on the plane a couple'a times, sat down with Jeffery (I really miss Jeffey). They had tea and crumpets together and then he would leave to go back and take care of his real estate stuff."

Prisoner Maxwell, your honesty in this interview impresses me. I know you didn't ask for this, but I will initiate a request to the president for a pardon. You need to understand, he is very stingy with pardons so don't get your hopes up. He has only issued about 1,600 so far in the first month of his office.

[OldBaldy1701E]

14. They already are. (n/t)

[BoRaGard]

15. Corporate media has been no friend to US Democracy

by and large they have failed as journalism, while succeeding as opinion and entertainment.

[gfarber]

17. the press won't give a whiff

Filipkowski, with his words sharp and keen,
Saw through Trump's elaborate screen.
"Just one percent, grand jury,
Maxwell's a big story,
The media won't touch this, I ween!"

There once was a man named Ron F.,
Whose words cut through Trump like a clef.
"Just crumbs from the jury,
And Maxwell's a worry,"
He scoffed, "The press won't give a whiff!"

[Joinfortmill]

19. Very cool.

[Joinfortmill]

18. Yup, but in the end everyone who facilitated

this travesty will pay a price because the whole damn country is disgusted and pissed off.
