All this is about the art of the deal – Kwid Pro Quo.
Jeffrey Epstein was probably the most distinctive broker since Markis de Saade, and he did it on a grand scale. His colleagues included bankers, prince, CEO, governor and past and future presidents.
One of Epstein’s friends was President Trump. Their relationship lasted for 15 years. We do not know how their friendship started, and we don’t know Accurate details Why it remained or ended. We know that it has become an albatros for Trump in its second term.
During the 2024 presidential campaign, Trump – assuming that Epstein files had a list of major democrats, which were customers – promised their Maga base, if selected, government files would be released. Now, Wall Street Journal has suggested Trump Your name can be in filesThose who are closely protected by his captive justice department.
so what to do? The first line of defense is of deception. When you are not there, you are fully disclosure. Vice President JD Vance announced the commitment for complete disclosure of Trump. “First, the President has been very clear,” Vance Said“We are not doing anything. The President has instructed the Attorney General to release all reliable information and, clearly,, and find additional reliable information related to the Jeffrey Epstein case.”
What did Vance fail to say that Trump did not order his Attorney General to disclose the files that would be “the most reliable information” for investigation in all his Stark importance. Trump prevails and ordered him to ignore the underlying grand jury minutes of Epstein and Ghislane Maxwell prosecies, Prosecution In 2020, in the southern district, tried in 2021 and convicted and sentenced to 20 years in 2022.
Any prosecutor will tell you that the grand jury minutes are largely inconsistent. They will not usually include thousands of pages of video and audio tapes, statements of witnesses and other documentary evidences living in the files of the Department of Justice. In addition, the grand jury minutes are law by the law and can only be unheard of court order, where there are very narrow grounds. The lawyers of the Department of Justice ignored the court through the movements of a Kamikes Mission, and two federal courts are now Declated the proposalas expected.
This trick will hardly satisfy Trump’s Maga Base elements, who were still shouting for complete disclosure of files that could tell the full story of his relationship with Epstein.
The Republican-controlled House Oversite Committee was included in the Act, Epithelium Maxwell to testify. She was probably in the room where it happened and could answer important questions about the Trump-Espstein relationship. As is expected, Maxwell called for his fifth amendment rights until he was given complete immunity. A spokesman for the committee Answer This will not consider giving Congress immunity to his testimony. “
What a grazing! If ever “don’t throw me into a braer patch” was a landscape, it was. The case may have ended. But what if Trump needs to ensure Maxwell’s silence? A glimpse will help what Maxwell can say. So there will be a deal about what Maxwell will not say.
It was a matter of pardon and a complete forgiveness. Tusrap Said“Okay, I am allowed to give him an apology, but no one contacted me with it. Nobody asked me about it.” He had to work hard earlier.
Trump considers himself the master of the art of the deal – Kwid Pro Quo. It has been the main darshan since the old days in Queens, Manhattan, Atlantic City and Roy Kohan. They have made other deals for the silence of women, not to forget Karen McDogal and Stormy Daniel.
Trump required immediate military assistance of military assistance in Ukraine in a dialect to extract political dirt on biddens during his first term. This Kwid Pro Quo led his 2020 impeachment – a reference for which, as is just, Last month was removed From an exhibition at Smithsonian Institution. (A revised reference has now been restored.) His appointment of three Justices in the Supreme Court, which whenever the issue was presented, could be another. And his dismissal about the prosecution of New York City Mayor Eric Adams was widely reduced as a Kwid Pro Quo for Trump’s Dracian Immigration Crackdown for the corneage of Adams.
So, is the time for a Kwid Pro Quo with Maxwell? His current lawyer is David Oscar Marcus, who is a criminal defense lawyer in Florida Who is friend Todd Blanches, former criminal defense lawyer of Trump and now Deputy Attorney General. A moralist may say that there is nothing wrong with this, but one may be surprised as to why Attorney General Palm Bandi chose the blanch to coordinate with Marcus about an extraordinary meeting with his imprisoned customer.
A two -day recorded meeting was held and, DesignedBlanches asked Maxwell about “100 different people”. Maxwell allegedly “answered every question” to the truth and according to his ability. It is interesting that Maxwell was ready to talk to the blanch but was not ready to talk to the Congress.
A week later, without explanation and for the hurdle of the families of the victims, Maxwell was transferred From low security jail to Bryan in Talhasi, minimum-protection jail in Texas. Sexual criminals, The New York Times report, Rarely sent For minimum-protection jails, which makes the house prisoners with the lowest security risk.
You may ask if Trump has approved transfer. You can bet on it. This justice department does not take a step without Trump’s thumb on a scale.
Is there part of a deal to ensure silence about Trump? Is this a proposal to forgive for Maxwell? After all, with Trump, all this is about the Kwid Pro Quo.
