Ghislaine Maxwell gets bad news from House Committee amid bid for immunity​


According to NBC News, Maxwell's attorneys said in a letter to the committee that she would be "willing – and eager – to testify openly and honestly, in public, before Congress in Washington DC" if she were promised clemency after the committee subpoenaed her for a deposition last week.

On Tuesday, the Republican-led committee turned down the request, with Chairman James Comer saying they planned to respond to the letter "soon" – but added that they "will not consider" granting the request.

The request comes as President Donald Trump and his administration have been facing backlash for not fulfilling their promise to release files on Epstein.

Trump has attempted to appease the public's obsession with the scandal by vowing to release grand jury testimony related to the case.

Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence, also recently asked the Supreme Court to overturn her conviction on the grounds that a plea deal reached in 2008 between Epstein and federal prosecutors in a Florida case ruled out the prosecution of any "co-conspirators."

Clearly, the republicans in the house do not want Maxwell to testify openly and honestly. They know she will bury the orange child rapist.

 
Would any sane person believe a word Maxwell says? At this point she's shopping around for a deal and if she's offered one, she'll say anything she thinks they want to hear.

A valid point: however, I want to know why the GQP is so afraid of her.
 
Well since Congress cannot grant clemencies, seems logical she would be turned down.

She won't do that. By appearing to be vague on the subject of a pardon Trump was sending her a message: stfu and I'll pardon you. Maybe his last day in office.
 
So you want her to be granted immunity?

If she lives tht long.

Look what happened to Epstein.

According to the allegations in the Indictment, court documents, and evidence presented at trial:
From at least 1994, up to and including in or about 2004, GHISLAINE MAXWELL assisted, facilitated, and participated in Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of minor girls by, among other things, helping Epstein to recruit, groom, and ultimately abuse victims known to MAXWELL and Epstein to be under the age of 18. The victims were as young as 14 years old when they were groomed and abused by MAXWELL and Epstein, both of whom knew that their victims were in fact minors. As a part and in furtherance of their scheme to abuse minor victims, MAXWELL and Epstein enticed and caused minor victims to travel to Epstein’s residences in different states, which MAXWELL knew and intended would result in their grooming for and subjection to sexual abuse.
MAXWELL enticed and groomed minor girls to be abused in multiple ways. For example, MAXWELL attempted to befriend certain victims by asking them about their lives, their schools, and their families, and taking them to the movies or on shopping trips. MAXWELL also acclimated victims to Epstein’s conduct simply by being present for victim interactions with Epstein, which put victims at ease by providing the assurance and comfort of an adult woman who seemingly approved of Epstein’s behavior. Additionally, Epstein offered to help some victims by paying for travel and/or educational opportunities, and MAXWELL encouraged certain victims to accept Epstein’s assistance. As a result, victims were made to feel indebted and believed that MAXWELL and Epstein were trying to help them. MAXWELL also normalized and facilitated sexual abuse for a victim by discussing sexual topics, undressing in front of the victim, being present when the victim was undressed, and encouraging the victim to massage Epstein.
As MAXWELL and Epstein intended, these grooming behaviors left minor victims vulnerable and susceptible to sexual abuse by Epstein. MAXWELL was then present for certain sexual encounters between minor victims and Epstein, such as interactions where a minor victim was undressed, and ultimately was present for sex acts perpetrated by Epstein on minor victims. That abuse included sexualized massages during which a minor victim was fully or partially nude, as well as group sexualized massages of Epstein involving a minor victim where MAXWELL was present. In some instances, MAXWELL participated in the sexual abuse of minor victims.
Ultimately minor victims were subjected to sexual abuse that included, among other things, the touching of a victim’s breasts or genitals, placing a sex toy such as a vibrator on a victim’s genitals, directing a victim to touch Epstein while he masturbated, and directing a victim to touch Epstein’s genitals. MAXWELL and Epstein’s victims were groomed or abused at Epstein’s residences in New York, Florida, and New Mexico, as well as MAXWELL’s residence in London, England.

I am not generally in favor to giving 'clemency' to people convicted of the following:
1.conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts,
2. conspiracy to transport minors to participate in illegal sex acts,
3. transporting a minor to participate in illegal sex acts,
4. sex trafficking conspiracy, and sex trafficking of a minor.

In order to go on a fishing expedition for evidence the purpose of which is political, rather than victim driven justice. That's what the Southern District of New York already provided by sentencing her to 20 years.
 
The best she should get is immunity for anything she testifies to before congress. But when her testimony is over, she goes back and finishes her 20 yr sentence.

She's not looking for immunity from future prosecution based on testimony. She wants Trump to offer up clemency on her sentence for past federal convictions as a quid pro quo to testify for GOP House committee. She is the only person alive convicted anything related to Epstein's behavior.

Good. She’s a known perjurer looking for a get out of jail free card. She has already proven she will say whatever she thinks she needs to say.

Agreed. She was a groomer. She participated in raping/abusing those girls/women.
