Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted associate of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, is set to appear before a closed-door congressional committee today
Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking, is expected to use a constitutional right known as the Fifth Amendment to refuse to answer questions about Epstein
Instead, Maxwell will read a prepared statement at the outset, Democrat committee member Ro Khanna says
The hearing comes after Epstein survivors called for the full disclosure of files held by the Department of Justice following the release of more than three million documents on 30 January
You mean the same Ghislaine who got transferred to a nicer prison after a meeting with Trump’s lawyer and then making the statement that “Trump was a gentleman”?
I just felt like we had to remind people of this every time she is being brought to testify about anything.
What does she have to gain? NOTHING
What does she have to lose? EVERYTHING.
She worked so hard to be HERE.
Would be insane to snitch when the federal government is absolutely crawling with known pedophiles.
You LIBTARDS trying to Make CHILD SEX RAPE AND TRAFFICKING some big Thing!
-LITERALLY Republicans INCLUDING the QAnon type!
Can’t we just move on and not worry about “who raped who and how old they were”?
I would’ve thought the fifth wouldn’t apply as she was already convicted of that stuff.
Can always be convicted of even more stuffs
The thing about double jeopardy is that it only counts for the single unique act of breaking the law (or however many counts you’re convinced of/found not guilty for).
This means that if she admits to any additional crimes that she wasn’t found guilty/not-guilty for, she can be charged.
Incidentally, that’s why the movie Double Jeopardy is flawed.
maybe she doesn’t want to get epstein’d
The fact that she hasn’t yet probably means she has one hell of a deadman’s switch.
