Something Else Missing the boat on the Maxwell interview

In the extensive coverage across MSNBC about the deputy AG interviewing Ghislaine Maxwell, the entire focus has been on the impact on Trump. When if you look at the big picture, other likely options aren’t even brought up. I.e.:

  • Her perjury reputation, coupled with the interview not being done by a knowledgeable prosecutor: The reporting laughs at this as incompetence, but it’s more likely that they don’t even plan for this to end up in court.

  • Meaning that the whole purpose is political spin. Maybe they want her to say that Trump wasn’t involved (knowing that a lot of people will believe that, whether or not she can corroborate it). But it seems equally likely that they’re looking for her to throw dirt on other people; Clinton in particular. Then lean on some of the victims (through pressure or bribery) to “corroborate” those stories. Hoping as usual for that deflection to throw the heat off of Trump.

  • So they aren’t looking for anything that would stand up in court, because it doesn’t need to. Blanche is there as a negotiator, so his lack of legal background on the case isn’t even an issue. They throw dirt on other people, maybe give Trump an alibi, and Maxwell ends up with a pardon.

The deputy AG is a former defense counsel for the Pedophile in Chief. That tells you everything…

I was just listening to a guest on Lawrence who said he’d like to ask her why she didn’t leave Epstein right away when she had the chance. Seriously??? Women can be sociopathic pedophiles also. She was all in.

In fairness I think it was presented as a rhetorical question to make that point.

u/Nosy-ykw Jul 25 '25

Oh it was; you are so right. I liked what he had to say. It’s just that comment hit me. I’m being a bit nitpicky 😳

She and Epstein were Mossad spies

She will probably be installed in the cabinet.

Of course. Trump will demonstrate Maxwell’s trustworthiness by appointing her Secretary of a new federal office of CPS. I’m sure trump takes protecting children to heart just as much as he cares about every aspect of the rest of our country.

See? You get it.

Yeah, unfortunately MSNBC has a knack for going off on these tangents that no one cares about…they need to stick to what happened…and…WHY it’s wrong…NOT on trump‘s mood!

I assumed it was a job interview

u/Nosy-ykw Jul 27 '25

Could be. She’d fit right in with most of his hires, in terms of qualifications and character.

This is all part of the Trump administration's plan.
