The Firm

Yesterday I noted that donnie's ex personal lawyer - Todd Blanche - was going to interview Ghislaine Maxwell.

Later in the day Blanche issued a statement.

"Today, I met with Ghislaine Maxwell, and I will continue my interview of her tomorrow. The Department of Justice will share additional information about what we learned at the appropriate time."

A few days ago, Alan Dershowitz said Maxwell is the “Rosetta Stone” and called for Ghislaine Maxwell to be granted use immunity so she could testify before Congress. “She knows everything,” he said. “She arranged every single trip with everybody”.

Alan Dershowitz was one of Jeffrey Epstein’s lawyers during his earlier legal troubles. Specifically, he helped negotiate Epstein’s controversial 2008 plea deal in Florida, where Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from a minor and avoided federal prosecution.

Ever notice how Florida always seems to be in the middle of all this shit?

So Dershowitz probably knows some stuff.

But, back to Todd Blanche.

He's second in command to Pam Bondi, the US Attorney General.

She's the one who, back in February, told Fox News that Epstein’s client list was “sitting on her desk right now to review”.

She's the one who, in May allegedly informed Donald Trump that his name appeared multiple times in the Epstein files.

She's the one who, in early July co-authored a memo from the FBI and the Justice Department (Bondi and Patel) that alleged that there was no evidence to suggest Epstein was killed or that he held a client list to blackmail people.

So why is Bondi's Deputy interviewing Maxwell?

It should be noted that together, Bondi and Blanche head a department that has been recently re-configured to function as donnie's personal law firm.

Hence the firm's name: Blanche and Bondi (somebody suggested that euphony dictated abandoning hierarchy).

The Inner Circle all call it The Firm.

So why is one of donnie's personal lawyers interviewing the Rosetta Stone?

After all, whatever she has been willing to divulge about Epstein is already in the records of the court that sentenced her to 20 years.

Just ask, or order, if necessary, to get those records.

You don't need to interview her unless messages are involved.

I wonder what such messages might turn out to be?

But back to the question.

Why is the president's Personal Law Firm (POTUSPLF) opening up dialogue with a convicted sex offender (irony noted)?

What possible purpose could such activity serve?

After the brief press encounter referenced at the outset of this post, one reporter logged in his notebook, "After Blanche finished talking, he briefly stood glassy eyed at the podium and then wandered over to a very large potted plant and started muttering 'nice cell you've got there; be too bad if somebody firebombed it'". 

Later in the day, over drinks with a compatriot, that reporter remembered his note, got it out, read it out loud, and then said: "I swear he was doing a Luca Brasi impersonation".

The bar laughed uproariously.
