Among other things. But for this post, I’m sticking with predator, pedophile, probably a serial rapist.** ##### [**DOJ report Tuesday, June 28, 2022**](https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/ghislaine-maxwell-sentenced-20-years-prison-conspiring-jeffrey-epstein-sexually-abuse) > Damian Williams, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced that GHISLANE MAXWELL was sentenced today in Manhattan federal court by United States Circuit Judge Alison J. Nathan to 240 months in prison for her role in a scheme to sexual exploit and abuse multiple minor girls with Jeffrey Epstein over the course of a decade. MAXWELL was previously found guilty on December 29, 2021, following a one-month jury trial, of conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, conspiracy to transport minors to participate in illegal sex acts, transporting a minor to participate in illegal sex acts, sex trafficking conspiracy, and sex trafficking of a minor. **Suddenly were supposed to believe that Ms Maxwell is just now being able to tell her side regarding this sordid activity ? And talking with her is the “key” to the Trump/Epstein dilemma?** ###### [**Right-Wing Influencers Say Ghislaine Maxwell Is Key to Unlocking Epstein Case**](https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/26/us/ghislaine-maxwell-trump-epstein.html) ***Some conservative influencers have celebrated the move to approach the longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein, but it comes with risks.*** After previously criticizing Mr. Trump for refusing to release the Epstein files, ***some conservative influencers have celebrated the move by the Trump administration to approach Ms. Maxwell as an effort to `appear` more transparent.*** It does not come without risk, however. While the administration tries to tamp down the backlash and send the message that it is continuing to dig, it is still unclear whether the focus on Ms. Maxwell will ultimately satisfy those who see a cover-up. > **Appearing more transparent DOES NOT EQUAL actually being more transparent** > One of Mr. Epstein’s former lawyers, **Alan Dershowitz, called her the “Rosetta Stone” on Fox News last Sunday, saying he believed she would testify as long as she was given immunity.** **And we should take Mr Dershowitz- “I had a massage with my underwear on”, at face value?**? > **“She just might be a victim,” he (Deshowitz) said on Wednesday.** **Oh, really?** **Frankly, Ms Maxwell’s testimony is unnecessary given the massive amount of documentation available to the Trump DoJ. They have everything that need to clear the air? Answer the questions? But neither Trump’s DoJ nor the FBI are interested in the truth. The whole truth and nothing but the truth.** ##### **[The Lever](https://www.levernews.com/court-records-reveal-feds-shifting-story-on-epstein-files)** via > **In 2017, (Biden administration) two media outlets filed Freedom of Information Act record requests seeking documents related to the FBI’s 2006 investigation into Epstein’s activities. The Bureau declined to release the files, claiming that Epstein’s right to privacy outweighed the public interest of seeing the documents,** despite the fact that he had already pleaded guilty to soliciting sex with a minor, and a defendant’s right to privacy is usually reserved for individuals who were only charged with but never convicted of a crime. > **Then, after Epstein’s 2019 jailhouse death, federal officials retroactively changed their argument, a dubious legal precedent, according to legal experts. In 2020, ( Trump Administration) the Justice Department, the FBI’s parent agency that is defending the case, fell back on a new legal defense, claiming that the documents would interfere with law enforcement’s ensuing prosecution of Maxwell.** ### A Veil Of Secrecy > The alleged Epstein cover-up is a **wide-ranging political scandal that’s embroiled some of the world’s most famous and well-connected people, including former [President Bill Clinton and even Trump himself. The files](https://archive.ph/o/elWEF/https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-67865190) have been a rallying cry for Trump’s political base, and numerous Trump allies called for the public release of the Epstein files on the campaign trail this past election. Trump himself [indicated](https://archive.ph/o/elWEF/https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-jeffrey-epstein-years-including-2024-campaign-trail/story?id=123778541) in interviews that he would consider it and appointed officials who [built their media brands](https://archive.ph/o/elWEF/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/08/us/politics/justice-department-fbi-trump-conspiracy-theories.html) in large part on the Epstein story, such as FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino.** **As mentioned previously- the Trump administration and it’s influence peddlers built their brand on the Epsteing case. They built their MAGA base on coming clean- This has not happened.** > The [court filings](https://archive.ph/o/elWEF/https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/26024660-17-cv-3956-exhibits/) that Novack shared with *The Lever* come as Trump himself faces [widespread backlash](https://archive.ph/o/elWEF/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn-okGGO_Nw) over his [longtime](https://archive.ph/o/elWEF/https://docs.house.gov/meetings/JU/JU08/20250227/117951/HHRG-119-JU08-20250227-SD006-U6.pdf)[relationship](https://archive.ph/o/elWEF/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/19/us/politics/inside-trump-epstein-friendship.html) with [Epstein](https://archive.ph/o/elWEF/https://www.wsj.com/politics/trump-jeffrey-epstein-birthday-letter-we-have-certain-things-in-common-f918d796) and as new reporting highlights Trump’s connections to other [powerful men accused](https://archive.ph/o/elWEF/https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/mar/14/teen-models-powerful-men-when-donald-trump-hosted-look-of-the-year) of having inappropriate sexual relationships with young women and girls. > > The [2006 FBI investigation](https://archive.ph/o/elWEF/https://www.justice.gov/archives/opa/press-release/file/1336416/dl?inline=) is a critical event in the ongoing Epstein saga. **Victims of sexual abuse and child trafficking [had come to the FBI](https://archive.ph/o/elWEF/https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5411862-trump-epstein-maria-farmer-ny-times/) with testimony about Epstein, but the probe was shuttered two years later in 2008, and federal charges were never brought.** > > **“Victims were not informed of, or consulted about, a potential state resolution or the \[nonprosecution agreement\]” Epstein signed to avoid federal charges, a 2020 Justice Department [document](https://archive.ph/o/elWEF/https://www.justice.gov/archives/opa/press-release/file/1336416/dl?inline=) states.** **Just how much information is accessible to FBI and DoJ without having to present this sideshow with Ms Maxwell?** > **The FBI has [released](https://archive.ph/o/elWEF/https://vault.fbi.gov/jeffrey-epstein) 1,051 partially redacted documents and cited FOIA exemptions more than [10,000 times](https://archive.ph/o/elWEF/https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/26024660-17-cv-3956-exhibits/) in denying the full release of documents that federal law enforcement officials possess about Epstein.** > > **Available court [documents](https://archive.ph/o/elWEF/https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/25997444-comeydecradarfoia013024/) show that the FBI is in possession of phone, travel, shipping, and financial records involving Epstein’s illicit activities. These records include “the names, addresses, phone numbers, and other identifying information of numerous witnesses,” federal prosecutors wrote in a 2024 [court filing](https://archive.ph/o/elWEF/https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/25997444-comeydecradarfoia013024/). These records and others have been called the “Epstein client list” by online commentators and other media figures.** > > **Bondi’s department may even have inadvertently disclosed for the first time that never-before-seen records were denied to Novack eight years ago without explanation. In February, Bondi “[declassified](https://archive.ph/o/elWEF/https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/attorney-general-pamela-bondi-releases-first-phase-declassified-epstein-files)” a limited slice of 3 million documents in the government’s possession** related to Epstein, which included evidence from government investigations into Epstein, as part of a “first phase” of declassification, which has not been followed by further document releases. **Avail yourself of all the information linked including documents that were given to The Lever- And read that article entirely. I’ve only included a small part of it. The Maxwell sideshow is being used to distract.**
