"I admire his extraordinary achievement. I like him, and I've always liked him. He was never inappropriate with anybody"

6 key excerpts from Ghislaine Maxwell's interview with DOJ

https://www.rawstory.com/ghislaine-maxwell-excerpts-transcript/

3. Maxwell delivers glowing praise of Donald Trump

"So my father liked him very much, and he was loved -- really liked his wife as well, because we were both Czechoslovakian. And as far as I'm concerned, President Trump was always very cordial and very kind to me. And I just want to say that I find -- I -- I admire his extraordinary achievement in becoming the president now. And I like him, and I've always liked him. So that is the sum and substance of my entire relationship with him."

At another point, she explained that Trump was "never inappropriate" with her.

"The president was never inappropriate with anybody. He was a gentleman in all respects."

Blanche confirmed Maxwell never witnessed any inappropriate actions on the part of Donald Trump whenever she was around him in social settings.

And do it now! I don't care if that is inadmisible in court. The CIA does it for some clearance work. That's good enough for me!

FYI:

The CIA does use polygraph examinations as part of its security clearance process.

There are two main types typically employed:

1. Counterintelligence (CI) Polygraph – focused on whether an applicant has had contact with foreign intelligence services, unauthorized disclosure of classified information, or involvement in espionage, sabotage, or terrorism.


2. Lifestyle Polygraph – addresses personal behavior that could make someone vulnerable to coercion or blackmail, such as drug use, undisclosed criminal activity, or serious personal misconduct.



Applicants for positions that require access to highly classified programs (including Top Secret / SCI clearances) are often subject to one or both types.

The CIA is one of several intelligence agencies (along with NSA and parts of DoD) that makes routine use of polygraph screening for both initial vetting and periodic re-investigations.

While the polygraph’s scientific reliability is debated, within the U.S. intelligence community it is still considered a mandatory security tool.

This is so ridiculously unbelievable with the “admiration” for doing extraordinary things while being a gentleman in her presence. What a shitshow production they’re trying to roll over us.

being a liar.

First of all Ghislaine, no one likes Donald Trump, let alone loves him. They use him or fear him, but for the most part, they despise him as I am sure you do as well.

"Gentleman in all respects"??? I almost choked on my coffee with that one. At least try to make your lies more believable, but of course the only person you are appealing to is Donald Trump. He eats that crap up.

who stole from wherever they could, and built massive business empires to feed their ego, which turned out to be fraudulent.

I'm waiting for Trump to follow in Cap'n Bob's footsteps - off a yacht.

I'll give Robert Maxwell this - he fought honourably in World War Two. He earned a Military Cross. In that sense, he and Trump were poles apart.

She's trying to get out of prison. Trump is the only person who can get her out of prison. I guess the SC could overturn her sentence. But Trump can free her right now. So of course she's not going to bite that hand.

We knew she was going to absolve Trump, but we didn't think it was going to be a Whitney Houston "I...eee I...eee I...will always love you....oo oo...eey I" thing.

She sang like a bird for her supper...er, I mean, "pardon."

We had a whole hour spent on the technique of gentlemanly grabbing a woman by her p—-y. It’s a skill set.
