'A Pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell? Absolutely the Fuck Not' - jojofromjerz

"They want to give a pardon to a monster who delivered children to predators."

"Because this is what they do. Dress it up. Dilute it. Drip it into the bloodstream of the public until something that should detonate on impact starts to feel like something you’re supposed to consider. The same people who foam at the mouth about protecting children—who conjure villains out of drag queens and trans kids and storybooks with two mothers—are now standing in the slipstream of a lie so grotesque it almost feels surreal, floating the idea that a woman who trafficked girls might deserve relief, might be 'useful,' might suddenly transform into some truth-telling oracle if we just hand her freedom and hope for the best."

"It’s obscene."

"It’s strategic."

"And it is so painfully, insultingly obvious."

Especially since she still has access to her computer archive and emails, or else her lawyers do. These are documents that can tell stories, name names, and are not under the control of the Department of Justice.

I'm not rooting for Ghislaine to get a pardon, oh no.... But I think they have always underestimated her.
She grew up in the spy game and was trained by her father. She knows how to play Chump and DoJ.
