  • This is why US should never allow blanket pardons or pardons before a conviction.

    Not sure if this is really a great example to make your point, considering Maxwell was convicted already, and Trump wouldn’t need to issue a blanket pardon to get her out of prison in exchange for her testimony.

    The real issue here is that Trump knows there’s no consequences if he does pardon her. He wouldn’t get removed from office over it, and I doubt the House would even bring articles of impeachment. The Supreme Court has conceded him all the power, and Congress is too spinless to hold him accountable for anything.


  • No one is going to believe her if she says Trump was never a client of Epstein, and then he pardons or commutes her sentence. If she tells the truth, she’s not getting the pardon. Trump could promise her the pardon, have her say he wasn’t involved with Epstein, and then never pardon her, but then risk she might talk for revenge. Trump needs her to calm the conspiracy theory and shift the focus away from him, without appearing to give her clemency.







  • Again it was just a guess, but why would a company like Google just randomly freeze all the data for this one person for no reason? Feels like there has to be a cause and effect, and the only info we know of is that the backup to scrivener the day prior. Obviously they never had a problem before to amass all the documents in there, so what just happened to get banned?

    I don’t know the total file size or the tool used to pull the content from Google Drive. It could be that the behavior looked like file sharing to Google’s servers and the policy is to shut it down while they investigate.
