As we've been arguing at The New Democrat for 2 weeks now... this whole relationship between Trump DOJ and Ghislaine Maxwell, is only about 1 thing: trying to make Donald J. Trump look as good as possible. And seem completely innocent of having any real relationship between President Trump and Jeffrey Epstein and his partner Ghislaine Maxwell. As Fred Schneider wrote last week:
"I think Kristy Greenberg hit a home rune (or, should I say "grand slam" since that word has something to do with both baseball and tennis and the US Open is going on right now) when she was talking about Ghislaine Maxwell and the word "inappropriate". Greenberg was talking about the interview that Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche (who still seems to think that he's Donald Trump's defense lawyer) and he asked Maxwell:
"Did you ever hear Mr. Epstein ever say or do anything that President Trump did anything inappropriate with anybody in your world?"
And Maxwell responded with:
"Absolutely never in any context."
So Kristy Greenberg's point here is that you don't let the defendant (or in this case convict) get to decide for you what is "inappropriate" and what is "appropriate". She's been in prison for 5 years now because she was convicted of a lot of inappropriate actions. (And based on the evidence, did some really inappropriate things) And we're not talking about serial jaywalker, (if you are a serial jaywalker, stay out of Washington and Chicago right now) or a shoplifter, who only steals because they are addicted to gum...

And as Ederik Schneider said last week as well:
"But I think "inappropriate" is a better word here because it's clearer and gets right to the point. And when you are a sex trafficker, sex trafficking probably seems "appropriate" to you. Just like a rapist who thinks that the women that he raped, wouldn't get sexy any other way, or would never get better sex, then what they got from him, so he was just doing them a favor. Or a serial murderer who thinks that his victims deserved to die. Both the murderer and rapist would be 100% wrong, but you can be wrong without lying.
I never met Ghislaine Maxwell or Jeffrey Epstein, (I guess God has been looking out for me in this case) and I'm not a psychologist, but I'm thinking Maxwell hates prison so much right now, it's so different from her former life and she's been able to follow the news enough in prison, she clearly knew Donald Trump before he became President and maybe she thinks she has a credible dossier about him.
I think what Maxwell is thinking here is, that if she tells Trump.Inc everything they want to hear, including lying her head off to make The Donald look good here and risk future perjury charges against her from a different DOJ, that Trump DOJ will go easy on her and perhaps even let her out of prison well before her current release date. I think that's her play for freedom right now. And we'll see if it works or not."

As Doug Jones said so himself, (who is a career lawyer) Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche went to Ghislaine Maxwell's former prison (before she was moved to Club Fed) in Tallahassee, Florida, on behalf of his client, (of course not the American people. Don't be silly.) President Donald Trump John Trump, to ask Maxwell some of the most leading questions that she could possibly be asked:
"Did you ever see Donald Trump do anything inappropriate with Jeffrey Epstein?
Was Donald Trump ever aware of Mr. Epstein's sex trafficking operation?
How well did did Mr. Trump know Mr. Epstein?
How well did you know Mr. Trump before he became President?"
Those aren't the exact questions that DAG Blanche asked Maxwell, word for word. But those are the defense lawyer style questions that he asked her.
Imagine being a prosecutor and you have you the defendant on the witness stand and that person is on trial for sex trafficking and you have all the evidence in the world that you need to convict her... but there is 1 catch: you don't ask her to explain all the evidence against her, or try to catch her in a lie, or multiple lies. What you do instead is, declare her a hostile witness and ask her defense leading questions like:
"Do you think it's possible that the police and prosecutors just planted all this evidence against you?
Do you think that some disguised themself as you at all those sex parties?
Do you have an evil twin sister who was committing all these crimes and it was her doing all these things and not you?"
Of course the defendant would answer yes to all those questions, especially if they're coming from the prosecution and the person is a serial liar and they simply believe they can get off and convince the jury that they're completely innocent. That's what Mr. Blanche was doing to her on behalf of his client Donald J. Trump.
Go back to, I guess it was March, or early spring of 2017, Donald Trump had been President for about 2 months at that point and his Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, announces that he's staying out of the Russia campaign interference investigation, because he worked for the 2016 Trump Campaign and he believed that he had a conflict of interest. And at I think a cabinet meeting or press conference, the President was asked about that and he said something to the affect:
"The Justice Department is or should be like my own personal law firm and just represent my interests."
Well, President Trump has that now, thanks to Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, the 1st and 2nd officers at DOJ. Between the 2 of them, they're responsible for running that entire department. And they're simply doing that to defend the President's interests not much more.
