Grand Old Pedophile-enablers: Only eight of the twenty-six Republicans on the House Oversight Committee are willing to go on the record over any prospect of leniency for Ghislaine Maxwell

Photograph of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell at a dimly lit social gathering. Epstein, in a navy blazer and pale blue shirt, stands with a reserved, closed-mouth expression, his arm draped around Maxwell’s shoulders. Maxwell, wearing a fitted, light-toned top and dark skirt, leans into him and smiles broadly towards the camera. Behind them, other guests mingle with drinks in hand, their figures softly blurred against a dark interior backdrop. The composition conveys an atmosphere of casual affluence and intimacy, typical of a private evening event.

{Forbes 25 April} ‘Only 8 Of 26 GOP Committee Members Say Ghislaine Maxwell Shouldn’t Be Pardoned’

As ever, these Republicans live in sheer terror of alienating Trump’s acolytes amongst the masses, and they know that the American people, in general, are giving the convicted felon a pass for his multitude crimes (Epstein, collusion with Russia, the attempt to overturn legitimate election results, January 6, the criminal mishandling of the COVID pandemic, betraying our allies, and so much more). We know that the likes of Representative Thomas Massie are risking their careers — and far more besides — in trying to do the right thing in the face of mass indifference and, in many quarters, outright hostility from the public. Remember, Maxwell made it known some weeks ago that she would speak only if Trump granted her a full pardon. And she is going to receive one, I stand by that.
