That response from Blanche is truly hilarious. "But Geeooorge, we didn't know all of this then! The Epstein family hid these e-mails from us!" Did he really think that would fly? That people wouldn't ask the *incredibly obvious* next question?

Honestly, it's just so frustrating sometimes how stupid this all is. I'd almost rather it was a bunch of craven evil masterminds killing democracy rather than these chucklef$%ks.

As far as Ghislaine Maxwell goes, she is entitled to the same treatment as all other inmates at the facility she's housed in. She should not have greater privileges or lesser privileges than other inmates. Whether or not she should be housed at her current facility is a totally different question and that decision should be made by the federal BOP and not a deputy attorney general.

I know that this might not be a popular viewpoint, but "equal protection" and "due process" need to be upheld no matter who we are dealing with.

Reports are that she's being given a lot of special treatment.

"according to Ghislaine Maxwell, child rapist, Donald Trump did nothing wrong"

Not to put too fine a point on it, but if I remember she specifically said she didn't SEE him doing anything wrong. Which is a LOT different from saying he did nothing wrong.

I mean, I'm sure she was lying in the little 'interview', but I don't recall her saying fully that he didn't do anything wrong. And from the emails we know that even if she was being honest about not literally SEEING him do anything, she knew full well what he was doing.

And to really put a fine point on it, she said she didn't see PRESIDENT Chump do anything wrong.

All of the things she was answering questions about occurred long before he became President Chump.

Prison inmates having dogs, whether training them or not, is a privilege, yes, but it's not just a privilege, it's also a responsibility. And prison inmate who have had responsibilities while incarcerated have been shown to have a lower recidivism rate than inmates who have not had responsibilities. If she is unable or unwilling to meet that responsibility, then yes, the dog should be taken away. If she is meeting the responsibility - which would probably be the first time in her life she has actually taken good care of someone or something - I wouldn't interfere with that.

True, but the dog program AIUI is off limits to people with her kind of convictions. She has proven she will mistreat the vulnerable.

Better fucking well get the ASPCA in on this, although I am skeptical about any dog bonding with Jiz Lain.

B! It's B! And also A! Because when Maxwell said that people close to Epstein were in Trump's cabinet, Blanche "forgot" to ask "Who?"

I personally don't support the poor treatment of incarcerated humans. That said people who hurt minors should be on the lowest level of my sympathy list.

The correct answer is "ALL OF THE ABOVE."

Also, did she happen to name her comfort puppy "Peedo Fydo"?

Release the Epstein Files.

Jesus, Blanche is an idiot. One of the first criticisms of Blanche sticking his nose into the Epstein and Maxwell criminal cases was that he had almost no familiarity with the facts of the cases against them. Beside his prior representation of Trump, it was preposterous - all by itself - that a Deputy Attorney General would meet with and interview a convicted criminal (who has an active appeal of her conviction pending). Why not one of the prosecutors who knew the file and could authoritatively question her about the facts? The answer is obvious. And that moron Blanche just admitted that he was not qualified to do what he did. Fucking brain dead asshole.
