Ghislaine Maxwell cleared to leave prison on work release: report

Source: Raw Story


According to journalist Adam Klasfeld, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) raised questions about Maxwell's new prison accommodations in a letter to the Director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. The senator demanded to know if Maxwell received special treatment after meeting with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, President Donald Trump's former personal attorney.

Documents viewed by Gill indicated that Maxwell was given a 7-point base security score — the highest possible because she is a sex offender and considered a danger to the community.

"Despite her score of 27 resulting in a MINIMUM security level, BOP policy does not allow people with a sex offender PSF (Public Safety Factor) to serve their sentences in minimum security facilities. Someone has to waive the PSF to make that move," Gill noted.

The documents also showed that Maxwell's custody level was set to "OUT," allowing her to leave the prison to work.

AI Overview
No, there is no evidence or credible reporting to suggest that Ghislaine Maxwell owns a submarine. While her father, Robert Maxwell, was known for owning a yacht, there is no indication that he or Ghislaine Maxwell owned a submarine. Ghislaine Maxwell's Wikipedia page lists her convictions related to sex trafficking and her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, but it does not mention ownership of a submarine.

She should die in prison. End of story.

So is the convicted perjurer, sex trafficker, and rapist gonna tell people that she never saw Trump do anything
bad and then gonna get to walk away?

We have really fallen into the rabbit hole of unreality and law breaking. I don’t see America coming back.

Have no idea how. Someone will help her go to a country far away and hide never to be seen again. I am sure she has plenty of money in hidden accounts online.

I bet that was the deal to keep her from testifying, and she is told one word from you and you are dead. And that way they don't have to pardon her which will look bad.

I'm actually shocked. I didn't think the corruption would be this blatant. I thought they'd at least wait a few months till things cooled down before letting her out. This is the single most corrupt act by an American president in my lifetime. How will corporate media normalize this?

participant in the Epstein Affair, probably the most serious crime ever committed by a president, is the most blatantly corrupt thing Trump has done so far. All his financial scams, grifting, double-dealing and political malfeasance pale in comparison.

On the other hand Ghislaine might have some plan to change her name, get a fake passport, and we've already seen photos of her in wigs and other disguises. I wouldn't disagree, it's the easiest way out for her, and Chump would be happy to see her go. Epstein made her somewhat wealthy, but she might have to leave it all behind in the US, if she disappears.

This is the party of Roy Moore, Mark Foley, Matt Gaetz, J. Stuart Adams, Justin Eichorn, RJ May, and on and on.

Statutory rape and sex trafficking are a regular feature of the GOP. As much as we hope there is some shred of decency in the MAGA base, I'm pretty sure once again that hope is in vain.
