Ghislaine Maxwell said she is willing to absolve Donald Trump of wrongdoing in exchange for clemency - how could she actually absolve him of anything without being able to provide evidence.
Sounds more like a deal not reveal anything incriminating in exchange for being given clemency.

She only cooperated when Blanche gave her that sweetheart deal where she has access to a puppy

Remember last year when during Kash Patel’s testimony before Congress he became enraged at Adam Schiff when Schiff asked why convicted sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell had been transferred to a minimum-security prison? Totally normal response. I’m sure he wasn’t covering up anything there at all.

In an email exchange with Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell wrote that a man named Mike Lee's current position as of 2009 was "Head of dalas" (sic), and clarified she meant Dallas and that it was not a codeword.
