Will trump pardon child sex ring predator Ghslaine Maxwell this week ?

She has too much on trump, and very likely they both are tied to putin with this too, and he will have to get trump to pardon her. putin knew about Epstein and his intel likely had lots of damming info from him on other powerful people to use against them, say GOP members of Congress and others.

You are right, she would have a lot of info on him...supposedly.

It wouldn't bother his reelection chances, since the Repukes don't look at those types of thing when it comes to Trump, but it would certainly seal his fate with the rest of us. Besides, she would have the $5M cost. (I wonder how many million$ he has made under the table?

Good thinking.

7. I hope Trump does pardon her ONLY in the hope that this might finally make his supporters . . .

see Trump as the soulless, amoral, depraved, perverted POS that he truly is.

If he pardons Maxwell and his followers and Republicans in Congress do not object to the pardon, they have lost any future moral high ground they could take in the future on any issue, including abortion.

But I don't think Trump will pardon her, just because of his deep-seated hatred of women. He might, on the other hand, try to find someone to "Epstein" her.

Republican support for Trump, especially from so-called Christians has proven that the political right is amoral. They are not the party of family values. They are not patriots. They are only interested in raw political power.

Trump's supporters will never abandon him. They like is worst behaviors. We live in a country where more than a third of our citizens are deplorable. I fear there isn't a solution to this profound civil problem.

NY State likely has plenty on her to keep her behind bars. He could give it a shot but I think the whole network will be exposed in the next several months, including members of Congress who are either pedophiles themselves participating in the atrocities or are benefiting from it somehow.

This could be his dumbest pardon yet, but we'll have to wait. Still a lot of time before inauguration.
