The partner of late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, completed a second day of questioning on Friday, where she shared information on about 100 different people with the Justice Department.

Maxwell, who was convicted of child sex trafficking in connection with the disgraced financier in 2021, met with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche for about three hours on Friday at a courthouse in Tallahassee, Florida.

She also sat down with Blanche to answer questions for about six hours on Thursday as the Justice Department tries to quell fallout over its handling of the Epstein files.

From what it sounded like they asked her names. Not she gave them. So either A it was the legitimate list they were just saying didn't exist, or B. they asked names that they wanted answers too. Being they fired anyone they wanted, the people asking the questions.... Intended to get those specific people investigated further.

"Is Bill Clinton on the list?" "Yes" "Is Obama on the list?" "No" "Are you sure?" "I'm sure" "I'll ask you one more time..."

Probably what happened 🤷

I would bet they have the "non existent" list & were trying to get her to confirm their hit list... Then they can say "These names were confirmed" even though those were the only ones they asked about.

If this is the case, it really makes you wonder why this hasn't been done at any point in the past already.

Not sure, but either A. it's nefarious as most of us expect, or B. There was never a pardon on the table.
I expect a bit of A and B
