I SEE WHAT SHE DID THERE...
DO YOU?
MAXWELL WASN'T WITH FELON WHILE HE RAPED CHILDREN- MAXWELL WAS WITH EPSTEIN WHILE HE AND SHE RAPED CHILDREN
And right after this interview with Trump’s former criminal defense attorney, Maxwell was the only sex offender in the US penal system to be transferred to a minimum security Club Fed and is fast-tracked on the pardon list. What a joke.

Congrats, MAGA! You're complicit in covering up one of the most vile child sex-trafficking rings in history. Jeffrey Epstein thanks you for your service!

I'm not interested in what notorious liar Ghislaine Maxwell has to say. I'm interested in evidence of what she did.

Release the Epstein Files. Stop Donald's coverup.

Such a credible witness. What are the odds that the Trump Justice Department would prosecute her for lying about that?
Ghislaine Maxwell, who wants a pardon, says she never saw Donald Trump ‘in any inappropriate setting’
Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence, makes unfailingly flattering references to Trump, according to transcripts of the conversation released by the Justice Department on Friday.

Trump and Vance “admitting” the criminal investigation of Bolton is coming from the White House isn’t a mistake. They want critics to understand if they cross Trump, they can be subject to criminal investigation. They want people to know that law enforcement has been politicized.

"The United States paid nothing for these Shares" so the US just seized 10% of a private corporation. Very Constitution. Much Democracy.

Bolton’s home raided, Gen. Kruse fired, Epstein coverup proceeds, seizure of 10% of Intel another step towards state capitalism. Just one day in the somewhat chaotic but directionally purposeful march towards…despotism.

Does anyone think they’re doing all this so they can hand over power in 2028?

i dont think the media should mindlessly regurgitate propaganda from a democratic president, but its even worse when they do it from the guy who said obama was born in kenya, that climate change was a chinese hoax and that he had the 2020 election stole from him

Yes. Collapsing all fed law enforcement into one undifferentiated, untrained, masked force.

Typical clarity from @gregsargent.bsky.social and the fact there are too few national journalists saying the same truths as clearly as he does is really an indictment on corporate media:

“It’s all pure mobspeak: They know exactly what he wants them to do. And this raid was it.”
This is getting very bad:

*FBI raids top Trump critic's home
*Trump loyalist gins up "mortgage fraud" pretexts for DOJ probes of Schiff, Letitia James, Lisa Cook
*Bannon says ICE will monitor 2026 voting
*DHS memo vows LA operations "for years to come"

Trump’s FBI Raid of John Bolton’s Home Looks Like a “Five Alarm Fire”
Thus far little is known about Friday’s law enforcement action against a top Trump critic. But we’re seeing an escalation of authoritarian power on many fronts that has grown unmistakable.

Why is he saying we? Since when does the VP take credit for a DOJ investigation?
JD Vance: "We're in the very early stages of an ongoing investigation into John Bolton ... if we think Ambassador Bolton committed a crime, of course eventually prosecutions will come ... there's a broad concern about Ambassador Bolton."
