The Ghislaine that lied about involvement with Epstein's crimes? That unreliable witness Ghislaine?

She's going to pardon Trump, isn't she

Immunity won't stop Trump from getting spooked and Epsteining her.

Seriously. She's in a terrible position. Whatever she does, she's at risk of some insane consequences.

Of course, she deserves it, she's being treated way better than what she did. Oh well. Play stupid games.

What do you mean? All she has to do is go up there and weave together the biggest lie ever. She just has to check the boxes: Epstein bad, me victim, Trump not involved, don't blow the whole global pedo ring

And in exchange she gets freedom, maybe even part of Epstein's estate. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if she gets a position in the administration... She has him by the short hairs and is pouncing on her chance. He didn't want to pardon her, he wanted this all to go away. His justice department delayed several times before not recommending hearing an appeal.

There's no testimony she can give that doesn't fuel this fire, so why was Trump's personal lawyer meeting with her?

They're laundering her reputation already in preparation

Well, but even in the current government, there are people who aren't MAGA people in congress, who get to ask her questions and bring up discrepancies between what she said before and what she's saying now. And she has to think on her feet for those questions, and the stakes are pretty fuckin' high. And the whole base is fired up with pedo-fury, and it's pretty hard for her to paint herself out of that spotlight no matter what she says... if she's transparently lying (which is what they want her to do), then all of a sudden she's in the crosshairs of both the justice system and the vigilante MAGA-mob, and she really can't change her story later anymore because now she said it all on TV instead of just within a closed system. And, of course, she's guilty as hell, and they can already prove that, so being back in the spotlight (again just completely regardless of what she says) is going to give opportunities for people to talk about all the proof again.

And, none of the Trump people really give a fuck about protecting her from anything. And she knows that. They just want what they want from her, and once they're done, they literally won't give another thought to where she goes, what happens to her, if she lives or dies.

Honestly, Dante Alighieri would be proud. It's kind of perfectly fitting to be honest.

No one watches cspan, all she has to do is lie her ass off. The media will do the rest

Fox will edit it down to tell a story of her being a victim, YouTubers will make supercuts of all the times she fails to answer a question, and she's probably going to get immunity going into it

So she just has to endure being yelled at without cracking for a few hours and she walks free. Even more than walking free, she's probably going to fall into a huge pile of money and influence for demonstrating her loyalty to the global pedo cult

She's probably the one who knows where the bodies are buried better than anyone else alive. And she's the one who is initiating this, she's seen an opportunity to be freed and she's pressuring Trump to give it to her
