The partner of late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, completed a second day of questioning on Friday, where she shared information on about 100 different people with the Justice Department.
Maxwell, who was convicted of child sex trafficking in connection with the disgraced financier in 2021, met with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche for about three hours on Friday at a courthouse in Tallahassee, Florida.
She also sat down with Blanche to answer questions for about six hours on Thursday as the Justice Department tries to quell fallout over its handling of the Epstein files.
I mean who could imagine Bill Clinton prioritizing a short term sexual gratification that might endanger the political career of himself or his wife.
If he does end up absent on the list, I think it’s precisely because of the Lewinsky scandal. Why would you make the same mistake twice.
And I’m certainly not trying to defend Clinton here, but we should keep in mind none of his (many) infidelities were illegal / with underage girls. Which, it needs to be said, didn’t make them ‘okay.’
I mean… maybe, but bottom line is people with impulse control issues, are known to repeat it in stupid ways even after it’s out there… Look at Anthony wiener. Guy couldn’t stop sending nudes while his damn investigation is going on. Sex addictions are compulsive, I cannot say with certainty how bad anyone’s is. But I could say… if he couldn’t keep it in his pants long enough to finish his term… I’d say there’s a very reasonable chance his compulsions may be more extreme, and finding out more is going on and possibly continues to go on, would not suprise me in the least.
It wouldn’t surprise me either, I’m just not ready to consider it fait accompli.
