Newsmax's Greg Kelly on Ghislaine Maxwell: "She just might be a victim. She just might be. There was a rush to judgment.

I expect to see more of this.
They don't care about the victims. Next, they will be saying the victims are liars. They were all prostitutes trying blackmail Epstein for more money.

GREG KELLY (HOST): So, remember this? Last year, President Trump last year in a courtroom flanked by two great attorneys, Emil Bove on the left and on the right is Todd Blanche. Today, where are these guys? Well, President Trump is in the White House. That's pretty awesome. Emil Bove has just been nominated for a judgeship, federal judgeship. And Todd Blanche is the deputy attorney general, the number two ranking official in the Justice Department. And he's about to meet with Jeffrey Epstein's ex-girlfriend in prison, Ghislaine Maxwell, to find out what she knows.

Let's find out what is this all about. And she's also been subpoenaed by the Oversight committee. I think this is great. I do have a feeling that she has been — she just might be a victim. She just might be. There was a rush to judgment. There was a lot of chaos there for a while.

That is plenty of time for her lawyers to present a defense. The defense chose to present only 9 witnesses. And Maxwell did not testify. It is certainly her right not to testify, but there is no question the court would have allowed many more witnesses and would have allowed any amount of testimony Maxwell wanted to give. They had 17 months after indictment to prepare their case.

How is this a "rush to judgment"?
