BREAKING: The Chair of the House Oversight Committee admits that Republicans are considering a FULL PRESIDENTIAL PARDON for Jeffrey Epstein's right-hand woman Ghislaine Maxwell. And it gets so much worse.... “A lot of people do," said Chairman James Comer when asked if he supports giving Maxwell a pardon in exchange for her testimony. “My committee’s split on that. I don’t speak for my committee," he said, stating that he doesn't like the idea because it "looks bad." “Honestly, other than Epstein, the worst person in this whole investigation is Maxwell," he added. The problem with pardoning Maxwell — who was sentenced to twenty years in prison for her central role in Epstein's horrific sex trafficking empire — is not that it "looks bad." It's that it would be one of the single worst miscarriages of justice in American history. Donald Trump is accused of rape and gross sexual misconduct in the Epstein files, and that's just in the documents that have been released. If he personally signs a pardon for Maxwell to testify, we can be absolutely certain that it will be with the understanding that she will falsely exonerate him. He won't pardon her if there's a chance that she might reveal his crimes. He'll be pardoning her to keep her mouth shut. Democrats are voicing adamant opposition to the pardon suggestion— “That would be a huge step backwards, and, quite frankly, so disrespectful to the survivors,” said Congressman Robert Garcia, the committee's ranking Democrat. “She is a known abuser. She is a known liar.” “If the DOJ or Oversight Republicans are out there trying to negotiate some sort of pardon that is … not only a huge slap in the face to this investigation, to anyone, to the American public,” he said. “It’s a part of a massive cover up.” Thus far, Maxwell has refused to provide the Oversight Committee with useful testimony about Epstein and his criminal enterprises. Her attorney has been pushing for a pardon and has stated that he believes that one will be forthcoming. The swirling discourse around a possible pardon is complicated by the news that Maxwell reportedly sent a mysterious USB drive to the Justice Department on April 16th, just days after Melania Trump gave a bizarre and unexpected press conference during which she sought to distance herself from Epstein. What could be on that USB? One long-discussed concern is that Maxwell might expose Democrats connected to Epstein, while covering up the role of Republicans and Trump himself. To be clear: the American people deserve to know every name in those files, regardless of political party. Every Democrat should be exposed, but so should every Republican. It certainly seems possible that Maxwell might implicate Trump's political enemies in exchange for a pardon, while simultaneously obfuscating his wrongdoing. This cannot be allowed to happen. The victims deserve so much better and we deserve to see the full, unredacted files immediately. Please ❤️ and share if you oppose this pardon!
