Trump offers supportive words to Ghislaine Maxwell, who has been charged with luring multiple underage girls into Jeffrey Epsteins orbit: "I wish her well."
Preet Bharara: "Pardon me?"

The President of The United States wished this alleged monster well.
Let that sink in.
With each passing day I wish there was another planet I could live on.

Seems she's outsmarted them and they can't touch her.

(49,064 posts)The trick with Stone is that his sentence was commuted. So no pardon involved. That way he doesn't pay for his crime and he isn't obliged to testify.
But Ghislaine Maxwell won't go to trial until 2021. So no chance at commutation. Pardon or nothing.

(6,139 posts)it really showcased who this woman is and how much power she has. She alleged having kompromat - recordings of very powerful people raping young girls. I am very skeptical she will get much farther than epstein.

(7,440 posts)Just before Epstein was suicided, who visits him? Bill Barr.
So when Maxwell gets incarcerated, who TRIES to visit her? Bill Barr. Lucky for Maxwell, her lawyers cut off the visit. But we see a pattern here.

(32,781 posts)How often does trump wish someone well? We've only seen him wish well criminals who have the goods on him.
It'll be interesting to see how long she lives. As deplorable as they are, I think an outright pardon would be a bridge too far for many trumpers.
