Why Ghislaine Maxwell will get a pardon

A leaked jailhouse email may offer one clue

Annie Farmer was 16 when she was molested by Ghislaine Maxwell.

Carolyn Andriano was 14 when she was groomed and sexually exploited by Maxwell.

Virginia Roberts Giuffre was 16 when Maxwell recruited and she and Epstein sexually abused her.

At the very least, Maxwell enabled Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes.

Many of his victims said that Maxwell’s grooming and normalization of sex contributed to the sexual abuse they suffered.

This is not a “he-said, she-said” crime. There was evidence and witnesses to Maxwell’s recruiting of girls in and around Palm Beach, Florida. One of Epstein’s drivers testified during her trial that he drove Maxwell to spas and gyms all around Palm Beach so that she could find girls. Victims have said that Maxwell called many of the victims herself to arrange for them to have sex with Epstein.

One of them was Giuffre, who was also introduced by Maxwell to the former Prince Andrew, who is now under scrutiny in the UK for possible wrongdoing related to his association with Epstein.

Giuffre, who died a year ago from suicide, was among a handful of women to first go public with the sex crimes committed by Epstein and Maxwell.

Andriano testified at Maxwell’s trial in 2021 that Maxwell admired her naked body, touched her breasts and told her that she "had a great body for Mr. Epstein and his friends."

Two years later, Andriano died of an accidental overdose.

The criminal case against Maxwell relied on the testimony of women who said they were sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein when they were under 18 – and that Maxwell facilitated and sometimes participated in that abuse, too.

Maxwell had faced six federal charges: sex trafficking of minors, enticing a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, transporting a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity and three counts of conspiracy.

She was found guilty by a New York jury on five of the six counts in 2021. She is serving 20 years.

Republican members of the House Oversight Committee are now “divided” over whether the President should pardon Maxwell in exchange for her cooperation in the Epstein investigation, the Committee’s chairman, James Comer said last week.

Divided about pardoning a convicted child sex predator.

Yes, you read that right.

A sex predator, who by the way, who already said under oath that she knows nothing about Epstein’s abuse of girls and young women.

What possible reason could members of Congress have for approving a pardon for someone who has lied under oath and has already said she knows nothing?

Well I found one clue in an email Maxwell wrote to her sister.
