By Ben Meiselas
I dont even know how to say this in a way that sounds less insane, but here we are. Donald Trumps Department of Justice just wrapped up two days of in-person meetings with Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted sex trafficker who helped Jeffrey Epstein abuse underage girls. This happened. In the Tallahassee federal courthouse.
And Maxwell? She left the meeting smiling. Her lawyers beaming. According to them, things are looking very positive. Translation? Shes expecting a pardon, a retrial, or a get-out-of-jail-free card from her old pal Donald Trump.
This is what justice looks like under a second Trump regime: A sex trafficker is treated like a foreign dignitary getting a state visit, while her victims are ignored and told their stories of abuse are a hoax. The DOJ doesnt ask them for evidence. They go straight to the abuser.
Let me spell out the key players here. Maxwells lawyer, David Oscar Markus, just met with Todd BlancheTrumps own former criminal defense attorney, now installed as Deputy Attorney General. Blanche and Markus are close. I mean really close. Dont take my word for it. They said it on a podcast last month. Blanche gushed about Markus being the best out there, even calling him a friend.
