Donald Trump permitted pedophile predator Ghislaine Maxwell, in a shocking violation of Bureau of Prisons policy, to be relocated to easy street. Why do you suppose that is?

'Virginia Giuffre’s long-awaited memoir, completed shortly before her suicide at the age of 41 in April, [reminds us] again in full, revolting detail of Giuffre’s 25 months in the clutches of Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, whom Giuffre describes as “less as boyfriend and girlfriend, and more as two halves of a wicked whole,” redoubles disgust for anyone who continued to consort with them.

I found it especially poignant that Giuffre tried to delude herself that the chillingly detached Epstein actually cared about her, a self-deception banished after he handed her over to service a “former prime minister” who raped her so brutally she was bleeding profusely when she emerged from his cabana on Epstein’s private Caribbean island. Though Epstein knew about this assault—“you’ll get that sometimes,” he told her insouciantly—he nonetheless instructed her to board a private plane a few weeks later for sex with an unnamed friend, who turned out to be that same savage former prime minister.

And anyone who supports Trump pardoning Maxwell, Epstein’s imperious, Oxford-educated adjutant, who cruised high school exits and upscale spas (she first spotted Virginia working at the Mar-a-Lago spa), looking for fresh teenage targets, should consider that Epstein could never have groomed so many hundreds of young victims without Maxwell’s reassuring, pedigreed feminine overtures.

In her book, Giuffre observes Ghislaine’s insecurity when she turns 40 and starts to resent the nubile Virginia, whom Epstein, like a perverse child, always demanded to be tucked in by at night. Maxwell “began lashing out at me during our threesomes…she would grab a larger-than-life dildo and use it to hurt me. If I complained, she hurt me more.” Giuffre finally resolved to escape Epstein and Maxwell’s “house of shame” when they pressured her to have Epstein’s baby and sign over all parental rights to him. “What if the baby were female?” Giuffre wonders. “Was the plan for Epstein and Maxwell to have me bring that little girl up until she reached puberty, then hand her over for them to abuse?”'
