So Krasnov's Former Lawyer Blanche Is Going To Talk To Maxwell

[gab13by13]

Pretty sure he isn't looking for evidence to convict someone.

Is this scenario feasible? Blanche tells Maxwell; say that Krasnov never had any sex while at Epstein properties and in return, the day after the 2028 election, Krasnov will pardon you.

Now, after the 2028 election is finished, Krasnov won't pardon her. Maxwell won't have any proof of the quid pro quo.

1. She'll demand (and get) that pardon this year, maybe even within weeks

She has all the blackmail er, cards.

What’s infuriating is it’s common courtesy to meet with the victims before DOJ begins proceedings like this. Especially child sexual assault victims so they aren’t blindsided by their perpetrator going free without time to prepare (or go underground).

They haven’t done that and are going straight to the criminal instead.

3. Rumor floating in Fla that she'll take the Fifth. Don't know what good that'll do her. But

if a bigwig Trumpster doing the interview privately, there's no telling what she actually said.

4. Maxwell is gonna do the things she is told to do

Maxwell knew well what she was getting into when she joined Epstein in the blackmail ring with Epstein. Trump was involved. Her duty is to protect the controllers not the Democrats involved. The pedo ring served government interests in Washington and Tel Aviv as it was a mossad and Washington blackmail ring that Trump used to rape kids. Trump is the controller of Washington and Bibi serves Trump, so Maxwell knows her old pal Trump is to be protected. Trump used her in 2020 to show Trump is tough on Epstein, she ranks lower than Trump and has to play ball or else suffer the fate of Epstein. There is no worse mob boss in Washington than Trump. Maxwell is a Team Player, she knows what is expected of her to defend her boss and old friend Trump. Trump put her in jail to show that Trump was not involved. She is expendable, as Jeffrey was. Trump got to rape kids, and the Republican base is fed the red meat of Epstein and Maxwell. She is gonna play along.

Prosecutors meet with potential cooperators all the time. This is not a normal instance of that.

It’s not unusual for prosecutors to meet with criminal defendants who may have valuable information to trade for beneficial treatment. But we may be witnessing one of the stranger instances of this phenomenon unfolding in real time, with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche announcing Tuesday that he intends to meet with Ghislaine Maxwell.

Blanche, one of President Donald Trump’s personal lawyers who are now running the Justice Department in close coordination with the president, wrote on X:

Maxwell’s lawyer, Davis Oscar Markus, responded on X:

.....One avenue could be “clearing” the president in some way, even though he hasn’t been accused of any crime here and it’s therefore unclear what form such a clearance would take. But putting aside however convincing or unconvincing such a clearance would be, given the context and the incentives, would that do the job that Blanche could be intending to carry out? Would Trump trade a pardon for that alone?

If not, then that raises the question of whether Maxwell could help make a case against some other person or persons who haven’t yet been charged. That’s a typical sort of thing that a defendant would help a prosecutor do. Of course, that then raises the typical issues of working with cooperators and problems with their credibility — but on steroids here. That’s because any information she shares now would be coming out years after the fact and not while she faces potential incarceration, as cooperators often do before they’re sentenced, but while she is actively incarcerated and has every incentive to get out of that situation as soon as possible and to do so in a way that pleases the president.

That said, it’s difficult to analyze the value of Maxwell’s potential cooperation one way or the other without knowing specifically what she would share. In any cooperation situation, the name of the game is corroboration. Therefore, in looking at this situation from the perspective of a prosecutor who would have to make a case based on Maxwell’s potential cooperation, she should not only have to be willing to implicate some other person or persons, but also be able to help prove it. Ideally, that would be with documentary or other objective evidence in a hypothetical case in which the defense would have ample room for cross-examination, given how this cooperation would have come about.

In that respect, Blanche and the Trump DOJ may have embarked on a new leg of this journey that is difficult to carry out successfully, especially if they intend to rely at all on third parties (like judges and juries) as opposed to clemency alone, over which Trump has unilateral control.
