Joanna Coles and Michael Wolff dig into Ghislaine Maxwells prison interviews with Trumps DOJ, Epsteins lingering influence on Trump, and Trumps presidential culture of copious pardons for nefarious American characters. They examine how rich criminals and political allies maneuvered for Trump's favor, and how loyalty, leverage, and money shaped decisions inside the Oval Office. From secret phone calls to private doubts, Wolff unpacks what drives Trump's unusual sympathy Trump reportedly felt for Maxwell and the political pressures he's facing in deciding whether to pardon her. And Wolff highlights how Epsteins social connections, including Fergie and Prince Andrew, intersected with Trump, showing the unexpected ways their worlds became connected.

(4,607 posts)...you'd think Michael Wolfe would know TSF better: in TSF's mind, he doesn't owe ANYONE. Rather, they owe HIM. And even if he did have an obligation to Maxwell, everyone knows, he never pays the full invoice. Once he's gotten what he wants, he doesn't give a shit about what you may think he owes you. The ONLY reason he would agree to anything is to get something from Maxwell and once he's gotten it, she'll be lucky to survive beyond that point. She may just be holding out a bit to keep herself alive.
And TSF CERTAINLY doesn't feel sympathy for anyone! Good Lord. Has Wolfe been huffing TSF's diapers too long? Jesus!

(65,503 posts)than any other person that I've ever listened to. This bothers me on some subliminal level, just say yes or no, not both as a continuous pattern in response.
Nonetheless, I'm always looking for clues on what happened with *rump, Epstein et al and this horrendous scandal.
While I consider Wolff a valuable source because of his inside associations, I don't consider everything he says as gospel.
