    Not surprising, but what was she in prison for in the first place, you don't get a lot of rights when you are in prison already.

    A one year sentence for theft. Quite a difference than Maxwell's charges.

    Yeah, but she has to know this group is PETTY - and she took a risk, should have waited until she was out.

    Like I said, they want to hush up anyone. As for country club prisons, I've always been against that BS. Criminals don't deserve it easy. Maybe if white collar criminals had it rough under lockup they would be more deterred. I remember years ago playing in a softball tournament at a big AFB in Florida with one of those special prisons for white collar criminals. It disgusted me seeing those prisoners walking around freely around the field and stands. Gave me the creeps.

    Regardless, someone like Maxwell should never be given special treatment. Her crimes were the types that should have her fearing for her life in a violent prison.

    yeah, but why is it a “scandal” for Trump to have sex with a black woman?

    I don't consider myself a liberal. I'm more of a moderate who has voted for for both Republicans and Democrats, but I would never vote for any MAGA party member in the future, that's for sure. They are spineless butt kissing cowards and liars, aiming to please their master regardless of how horrible his policies are.

    My point about any criminals is that they shouldn't get special accommodations in country club prisons because of their status in society, or how much money they make. Throw the white collar criminals into the same prisons as all others who break the laws. If the crime was big enough to be charged with a prison sentence then they don't deserve to be treated better than anyone else who got a prison sentence.

    we're basically all liberals in the classic, English liberalism sense of the term.

    That's where the "cruel and unusual punishment" norm comes from

    There is video evidence of Trump with Epstein and underage girls,there is documented depositions where Trump raped a 13 year old, Katie Johnson.

    https://www.facebook.com/reel/2590926761238435

    That is a shorter clip of Katie Johnson talking about Trump raping her.....

    The leaps people have to go through to support this conman is ridiculous.

    She brought the Trump stuff up early in the interview with no prompting.

    It's fine that they released this "conversation." but what they didn't release tells the tale. They did not release the agreement between Maxwell and DOJ or the documentation transferring her to club fed or the communications showing who waived and/or who ordered the waiving of her sex offender status, which allowed the transfer to happen.

    Most notably, they did not release the Epstein files.

    Yeah, like she's ever going to admit to anything. She's a liar, looking to escape her convictions. She already committed perjury before.

    Her boyfriend was a pedo sex trafficker. Like her version of doing anything inappropriate holds water. She recruited, groomed, and participated in crap. I'm looking forward to the testimonies coming up from the victims September 3. They will tell a whole different story than the groomer Maxwell, who wants nothing more than to be released. Believe the victims not the felon.

    Quite the character witness. Unassailable even. No doubt this vision of honor and rectitude will calm the seas and make the release of the full trove of Epstein files unnecessary.

    The transcripts have been blocked by two Democrat-appointed judges...

    Lots of evidence out there already though. Testimony from Virginia Giuffre and Ghislaine Maxwell has cleared Trump.


    GOOD DAY

    Justice Department gave Ghislaine Maxwell 'a platform to rewrite history,' family of Epstein abuse survivor says
    The family of Virginia Giuffre said they are "outraged" by the agency's decision to release transcripts from Maxwell's "bizarre interview" with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.

    The family members of a prominent survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse said they were “outraged” by the Justice Department’s decision to release transcripts from Ghislaine Maxwell's testimony last month to a federal prosecutor, arguing it provided Maxwell a “platform to rewrite history."

    “The content of these transcripts is in direct contradiction with felon Ghislaine Maxwell’s conviction for child sex trafficking,” the family of Virginia Roberts Giuffre said in a statement. The family added, “This travesty of justice entirely invalidates the experiences of the many brave survivors who put their safety, security, and lives on the line to ensure her conviction, including our sister.”

    Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche last month questioned Maxwell, who’s serving a 20-year prison sentence on sex trafficking charges, for two days as part of an effort by the Trump administration to uncover more information about Epstein’s crimes.

    The Justice Department on Friday released audio and transcripts of the two-day interview, during which Maxwell refuted several allegations of wrongdoing against her and Epstein, including by Giuffre, who died by suicide in April.

    Giuffre accused Maxwell of grooming her to be sexually abused by Epstein and trafficked to several of his powerful friends, including Prince Andrew, Duke of York. Giuffre separately sued Andrew in 2021 for sexually abusing her as a minor, an allegation he has denied. The two later settled the case for an undisclosed amount in 2022.

    During the interview last month with Blanche, Maxwell said Giuffre’s allegation against Andrew “doesn’t hold water,” and disputed key facts in the case, including an alleged photo of Giuffre with Andrew.

    “I believe that this whole thing was manufactured, and I can point you to some potentially corroborating evidence of this,” Maxwell told Blanche.

    Maxwell also said she never witnessed any inappropriate conduct from any man, including President Donald Trump. She also denied the existence of an incriminating “client list” of individuals that benefited from Epstein’s crimes and maintained her innocence after being convicted of sex trafficking in 2021.

    Giuffre’s family has for months been critical of the Justice Department’s interactions with Maxwell amid the Trump administration’s renewed push to uncover more information about Epstein's crimes, a key topic of interest among Trump’s base.

    In late July, after Maxwell met with Blanche, the family urged the government not to provide Maxwell any favorable treatment, describing her then as a “monster who deserves to rot in prison for the rest of her life.”

    Trump has not ruled out the idea of pardoning Maxwell, who he has known for several decades. When asked last month about the prospect of granting Maxwell legal relief, Trump said, “I’m allowed to do it, but it’s something I have not thought about.”

    Absent a pardon from Trump, Maxwell is seeking legal relief from the Supreme Court, which has indicated it will decide whether to review Maxwell’s appeal of her conviction during a private conference in September.

    Giuffre's family also condemned the Justice Department's decision to transfer Maxwell to a minimum-security prison following her meeting with Blanche.

    “By moving convicted felon Maxwell to a minimum-security, country club prison, the DOJ sends a disturbing message that child sex trafficking is acceptable and will be rewarded,” the family said Saturday in a statement.
