Donald Trump Doesn't Rule Out Pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell

Source: Huffington Post

On his way out the door to a weekend golf trip that’s set to cost American taxpayers at least $10 million, Trump stopped to answer a couple questions from reporters ― and he was awfully cagey when asked about Ghislaine Maxwell.

Asked if he would pardon or commute the sentence of Maxwell, sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s onetime girlfriend, Trump sure didn’t say “no.”

“I’m allowed to do it,” he told reporters. He then claimed that “it’s something I’ve not thought about.”

The deal is on: a pardon/commutation in exchange for her clearing Trump.




If that isn't grounds for impeachment, nothing is. She herself physically raped children.

He not only wants her to clear his name but name Bill and Obama.

If (hopefully not when) he pardons her, he has in my mind, fully admitted he raped children.

How could she clear him? This is a wasted exercise. She needs to do her fucking time. She can't really add or subtract anything from this issue.
