Watch now   Trump’s DOJ Is Officially Conspiring with a Convicted Sex Trafficker Donald Trump’s handpicked Deputy Attorney General just spent two full days meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell, and it reeks of corruption, cover-ups, and something even darker. Ben Meiselas and MeidasTouch Network Jul 25 By Ben Meiselas I don’t even know how to say this in a way that sounds less insane, but here we are. Donald Trump’s Department of Justice just wrapped up two days of in-person meetings with Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted sex trafficker who helped Jeffrey Epstein abuse underage girls. This happened. In the Tallahassee federal courthouse. And Maxwell? She left the meeting smiling. Her lawyers beaming. According to them, things are looking very “positive.” Translation? She’s expecting a pardon, a retrial, or a get-out-of-jail-free card from her old pal Donald Trump. This is what justice looks like under a second Trump regime: A sex trafficker is treated like a foreign dignitary getting a state visit, while her victims are ignored and told their stories of abuse are a “hoax.” The DOJ doesn’t ask them for evidence. They go straight to the abuser. Let me spell out the key players here. Maxwell’s lawyer, David Oscar Markus, just met with Todd Blanche—Trump’s own former criminal defense attorney, now installed as Deputy Attorney General. Blanche and Markus are close. I mean really close. Don’t take my word for it. They said it on a podcast last month. Blanche gushed about Markus being “the best out there,” even calling him a “friend.” And now these two buddies are meeting behind closed doors with one of the worst sex traffickers in modern history to “gather information”... about what exactly? To protect whom? Because here’s the other receipt: According to The Wall Street Journal, the 300GB of Epstein files in the DOJ’s possession include Donald Trump’s name all over them. But instead of releasing those files, they’re giving Maxwell a private audience. You don't need to cut a deal with a trafficker if you’re not trying to hide something. And yes, Trump is already floating a potential pardon for Maxwell. “I haven’t thought about it,” he says. “But I could.” Wink, wink. Let’s not forget—back in 2020, when Maxwell was arrested, Trump didn’t denounce her. He said “I wish her well.” He said it again when pressed. That’s not normal. That’s not innocent. That’s protective. You want to know who they aren’t meeting with? Victims like Maria Farmer or any of the Jane Does. They made no attempt to meet with Virginia Giuffre, who was just 17 when Epstein and Maxwell pulled her from the spa at Mar-a-Lago. She died by suicide this year. Her story? Swept aside so Trump’s DOJ could entertain her trafficker. Trump’s long history with Maxwell is well-documented. There are photos, letters, even an old article from 1997 where British tabloids literally describe Maxwell as introducing “her attractive friends” to Trump after his divorce, like some kind of madam. Meanwhile, Trump tries to deflect, ranting about Barack Obama and Bill Clinton and Larry Summers. “Why aren’t you talking about them?” he whines. Because you’re the one in power, Donald. You’re the one who installed your criminal defense attorney to run the Justice Department. And you’re the one covering this up. This isn’t just about Epstein. It’s about corruption. Power. And how the Republican Party has morphed into a pedophile cover-up ring in plain sight. That’s not hyperbole. That’s reality. This happened. We will not stop reporting on it. We will not stop demanding the release of every file, every name, and every truth this government is trying to bury. The victims deserve better. This country deserves better.

KEEP ASKING QUESTIONS!   FOLLOW THE MONEY!

Ghislaine Maxwell led a privileged life. Dad had a profitable publishing empire, known connections to intelligence communities, met an untimely death. (See CRAIG UNGER!) 

Suddenly in prison, what would YOU say to get out of PRISON? 

NO CREDIBILITY! 

JOYCE VANCE, in her substack CIVIL DISCOURSE explained BANK PROCEEDURES: 

When it comes to Epstein, the grand jury documents aren’t the ones that people seeking the truth about Epstein’s network of child trafficking should be interested in. Prosecutors always say, “Follow the money.” That’s as true here as in any other case, especially since there was a lot of money around Jeffrey Epstein, and there’s been no real public accounting of it.

One of the best ways you can follow the money, at least if you’re a federal prosecutor, is by looking at Treasury Department records. One type of record, SARs, or Suspicious Activity Reports, can be a treasure trove for prosecutors, providing some of the best investigative leads they can get.

SENATOR RON WYDEN explained the limited TREASURY INFORMATION provided. 

Senator Ron Wyden, the top Democrat on the powerful Senate Finance Committee, understands this. He’s been investigating Epstein’s finances for at least three years. The New York Times reported last week that “Some members of his staff have viewed confidential files that shed light on the immense sums of money that, they say, Mr. Epstein moved through the banking system to fuel his vast sex-trafficking network.” There are specifics: Banks flagged more than $1.5 billion in transactions involving Epstein. They included “thousands of wire transfers for the purchase and sale of artwork for rich friends, fees paid to Mr. Epstein by wealthy individuals, and payments to numerous women.” Very intriguing.

“We felt from the beginning this was a follow-the-money case,” Senator Wyden said in an interview. “This horrific sex-trafficking operation cost Epstein a lot of money, and he had to get that money from somewhere.”

If you want to know more about Jeffrey Epstein, read the reports and follow the money. That sort of documentation will reveal far more than a couple of grand jury transcripts, the only thing Trump has offered to make public, knowing full well judges are unlikely to go along with it. If Trump really wanted to honor his commitment to release Epstein reports, this is what he would be sharing with his followers. Instead, Senator Wyden has been working on it. Wyden can’t make all of the papers public, but the Trump administration can.

Staffers working with Wyden were given very limited access to Treasury documents when they visited the agency and were only permitted to take handwritten notes. But they walked away with some key information:

The largest SAR was filed by JPMorgan in late 2019 and involved a transaction of $1.1 billion.

That report covered 4,700 transactions dating to 2003, including payments to women from Belarus, Russia, and Turkmenistan. (Where many of Epstein’s victims came from.)

Deutsche Bank filed the second largest for about $400 million. Other sizable reports were filed by Bank of New York Mellon for $378 million and Bank of America, which filed reports on billionaire investor Leon Black’s $158 million in payments to Epstein, reportedly for tax and estate planning services. That’s a lot of tax and estate planning! Black was a co-founder of the private equity firm Apollo Global Management. He left his leadership position at the firm after his ties to Epstein were disclosed publicly.

Despite DOJ’s pronouncement earlier this month that there would be no further prosecutions, it’s clear from the public narrative that Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell weren’t the only people involved in the large-scale trafficking operation they operated.

PUTIN HAS EPSTEIN'S VIDEOS:

Most importantly, is the story of Deputy Sheriff John Mark Dougan. He was a former Palm Beach County sheriff’s deputy and was “under investigation by the FBI for allegedly collaborating with Russian military intelligence to spread misinformation about Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign. (25 WPBF News, written by Malcolm Shields, October 25, 2024) Before his arrest, Dougan snatched from the Evidence Room all 478 videos from Epstein’s files. He then drove to Toronto and caught a plane to Moscow.” According to Craig Unger, “Dougan was only the 4th American to receive asylum in Russia.” He presented the Russians evidence - known in Russia as Kompromat - to be used against worldwide leaders - including Donald Trump.

NOW, whether there is "another" Epstein list is debatable. Someone needs to go to the Palm Beach Sheriff's office and ask. By law, they must keep records of evidence, including the tapes that went missing from their custody.

Trump is now scared - and if there is another list - according to Bondi the list was on her desk - then the proof is there regarding Trump and underage sex trafficking and perhaps his connections to Russia.
