The U.S. Supreme Court declined to take up an appeal filed by convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, but President Donald Trump propped open the door to pardoning her Monday.

Trump was asked Monday whether he would consider freeing Maxwell, who's serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in grooming and abusing underage girls with the late Jeffrey Epstein. The president claimed ignorance of the matter but added that he would discuss her case with the Department of Justice – which stuck out to Republican strategist Lee Carter as a bit convoluted.

"It does seem like a complicated answer, and one that you would think that he would be prepared to answer," said Carter, a regular fill-in host for Fox Business. "The thing that I think is really interesting about Donald Trump and his use of pardons and executive power is he looks at it really as an exertion of power, not as what's popular. So when he looks at what he's going to say, he's like, 'I just want to make sure that it's very clear I am in charge here, and I am the arbiter of what's going to happen or not,' and I think he might be laying the groundwork to do it."

Hey Carter.................I hate to break it to you and CNN but the only reason why the 34 count fraudster and let's not forget what he did and was found liable by a jury in the Carroll case is that prior to this the traitor yes he is a traitor (took classified documents to be placed in his rat infested toilet in Florida) got not ONE but TWO free passes by your maga senators and an absolute FREE PASS by your maga US Supreme Court.........so just maybe you and CNN should report it has such because that is the fucking facts on how he is getting away with shit .......today......................JFC
