    “Only she can provide the complete account. Some may not like what they hear, but the truth matters. For example, both President Trump and President Clinton are innocent of any wrongdoing. Ms. Maxwell alone can explain why, and the public is entitled to that explanation.”

    There it is. Fishing for a pardon and giving Trump an easy path to grant it “in the interest of public disclosure”, when she’s already flagged to him that she won’t disclose anything about him.

      It’s just like dictators. If you and only you can be the one to fix something, you shouldn’t do it.

    If you are wondering what the condition is:

    Ms. Maxwell is prepared to speak fully and honestly if granted clemency by President [Donald] Trump,” Markus wrote in a statement.

      It’d be a cold day in hell, but I hope she gets clemency and absolutely dunks on this wet turd.

        Don’t be obtuse, she’s been meeting with his lawyers, this is all bullshit. She’s going to lie and “exonerate” him in exchange for a pardon. We’ve all seen where this is going.

        You’re suggesting he’d grant her clemency so that she can honestly confess against him?

        I know Trump is dump but still.

        The more likely scenario is that behind the scenes she promises to make Trump look good in her confessions if he grant her clemency. A Win-Win situation for them

          She’s already promised to make him look good in front of the scenes.

          Isn’t that usually how plea deals work? Reduced or eliminated punishment so you can flip them to get a bigger fish?

            No, because usually the one on the side of the prosecution offering the plea deal isn’t also the bigger fish.

    She’s a monster who should rot in hell.

    It would be completely unsurprising for this depraved regime that the only person who got justice for their crimes gets pardoned.

    The only way to know for sure what’s truly lurking in the dark confines of Ghislaine Maxwell’s head is to crack it open and look inside.
