DOJ releases Blanche-Maxwell transcript and audio
In the interest of transparency, @TheJusticeDept is releasing the complete transcript and audio of my proffer of Ms. Maxwell. The transcript and audio are linked below.

The audio is divided into segments to reflect breaks during the interview. Some segments are shorter than others. Shorter segments are a result of audio tests and size limitations per recorded session.
Except for the names of victims, every word is included. Nothing removed. Nothing hidden.
🇺🇸 GHISLAINE MAXWELL: THIS IS HOW I MET EPSTEIN
“A girlfriend of mine told me… I had broken up with my long-term boyfriend.
I’d been engaged, it was a very long-term relationship, and we’d broken up.
She said, as girlfriends do: ‘I’ve got a guy for you to meet.’
And I was like, ‘Who is it?’
She goes: ‘He’s been dating my sister. You’ll love him. He’s looking for a wife.’
I was edging toward 30, I don’t need to tell you guys, that’s a very important moment for a girl to think about important things.
And sure, I’d be happy to meet him.
So sometime in 1991, we’re in 1991 now, I met him at his offices on Madison Avenue.
I think the most memorable thing I can recall is… he was wearing a tie.
Which he didn’t often do.
And it had a giant, what seemed like, a ketchup stain on it.”

🇺🇸 GHISLAINE MAXWELL: I MAY HAVE MET TRUMP IN 1990, BEFORE EPSTEIN
“In 1990, I had come over to New York to help look at some of that.
He was having some advertising issues with the New York Daily News.
And in fact, I may have met Donald Trump at that time, because my father was friendly with him and liked him very much.
And I think it should be said that he also very much liked Ivana, because she was also from Czechoslovakia, where my dad was from.
So I don’t, I don’t remember if I did meet him or not in 1990 with my dad, but I knew that’s how I knew about Mr. Trump.
This was before I met Mr. Epstein.”

I don’t see anything about this posted yet, apparently a publicly available document on how C I A agents were forced to upload identification during the jab mandate era…into global databases. Clip from Emerald Robinson:
https://gettr.com/post/p3ot42ee2e1
Further proof the leftists stink at managing anything besides their talking points.
Epstein didn’t kill himself
PDJT did
Got proof?
yea
Praise the Lord!
Cool… but from 2020… just note that.
using the database like a personal AI is the issue. Not FISA the pretend paperwork after they have already been spying on everyone around.
Laura Loomer is doing a LOT of brilliant and highly effective work for the Trump presidency!
Well , if Kilmar Garcia remains as free as a bird, it will certainly make our DOJ look impotent! I sure hope he gets deported since being in the USA illegally is supposed to be illegal!!
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/08/breaking-ms-13-gang-member-kilmar-abrego-garcia/
Apparently Kilmar is above the law. How long until the guy tries to get revenge on everyone who wanted him in Prison where he belongs?
I bet his wife is terrified.
Word is that as soon as he sets foot in Maryland, ICE will be deport him to Uganda.
And in other news:
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/08/breaking-ms-13-gang-member-kilmar-abrego-garcia/
To “reunite” with his family.
All the other news is a squirrely distraction?
Daddy is in town. none of this type of stuff matters any more
people arent just running around will nilly doing whatever pleases them anymore
https://dailycaller.com/2025/08/22/justice-gorsuch-is-fed-up-with-lower-courts-repeatedly-defying-scotus/
If district courts continue to defy the Supreme Court a remedy must be found. The Supreme Court should issue a nation wide injuction against all district court hearing any cases involving the President. Only appeals and the Supreme Court can hear those cases. Either that or the Supreme Court can remove district judges that violate Supreme Court rulings permanently.
I really like this latest one from “the Russians …”

Title: Why So Many People are Lapping Up Digital Garbage. 🤡
However – take the time to read it, because it is well worth reading. It is thoughtful, thought-provoking, and makes many “much-too-valid these-days” points. (Scary …)
And I just gotta quote the luv-it final line . . .
“Hooked on the blue glow? Switch it off. Walk in the dark. Let your brain detox from the loop – because in a dumbed-down world, the most rebellious act is to think.”
Amen! Thanks for sharing!
Right or wrong, I believe there are two broad categories of folks: those who “think” and those who “have thoughts”.
Obviously both types are needed and one type is not better than the other.
soon the fall season will be here and the world will be filled with color………get outside when you can………touch nature…..
may all Treepers have a grand evening
Good advice.
I love autumn. (Sadly, it will still be a while before we see it here in S TX, though.)
Have a restful evening.
Retired Magistrate here: Every morning, I take a walk on the road in front of our house which is by the river; it is beautiful. Some mornings I see Bald Eagles and Hawks. When the Fall migration starts I sometimes see Trumpet Swans. We have a pair of Wood Ducks down in our pond, which is the overflow from the river and of course Mallards.
Sitting out on our back deck yesterday, a Hummingbird Moth landed on me and we checked each other out; what a thrill. I have numerous pots of Impatients which Hummingbirds and Hummingbird Moths really like along with butterflies. We have a small fish pond with a waterfall so Dragonflies are in abundance which keep the mosquitoes down. We used to have Goldfish in the pond but a Mink got in and finished them off one evening so no more fish. I will just have to make do with the frogs.
Our house is surrounded by huge Maple trees along with other species so Fall up here is beautiful. Raking not much fun but we have a riding mower with a mulching blade so we just chop them up.
GOD has given us so much beauty we need to get out and enjoy it.
Marcia…sounds wonderful…..
Live long & prosper.
Thanks bjorkdream. I remember being at places like that at this time of year.
I was thinking about all of the “by the book” people that have been seen or heard this last week.
I’ve seen….
Obama
Susan rice
Clapper
Comey the weasal
Brennon
Mary mccord
Struck-stroke
Mccabe
Weissman
Eisman
Pompao
Sixpence
Not to include the regular obama/clinton panalists.
I wonder why all of these beach friends aren’t at the beach?
their strategy has always been getting human shields between them and justice by fanning the rhetoric flames.
This is why PDJT has not embraced some of his base’s desire to just go scortched earth (this method makes it harder to make human shields)

I sure would like to reconnect with the friends and colleagues we left behind in 2022 when my husband’s work assignment in Russia abruptly ended. We have no closure from our sveral years as expats.
Sounds like Putin wants the “integration with the West” to continue. Problem is, at some point President Trump is gonna demand a cease fire or he will shut the “integration” down.
Somehow I missed that in June the Georgia GOP banned Brad Raffensberger from running for office as a Republican citing, he “does not have the faith and confidence of the Georgia Republican Party.”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/08/gabriel-sterling-departs-georgia-secretary-state-office-following/
Now his partner in crime, Gabe Sterling, is leaving Raffensberger’s Secretary of State office. Excellent news.
Oh no, China booster Raffensperger will not run as a Republican for Secy of State. Double oh no’s Riverwood HS graduate Gabe Sterling is leaving Raffensperger’s office.
Will they join the lefties radical party?
Yet Chris Carr, GA AG, is running for governor. Carr became AG in 2020 just in time to do nothing about investigating evidence of corruption in the 2020 election- remember when Fulton County stopped counting ballots because of a water main break, that wasn’t.
I don’t remember Carr being concerned at all about Fani Willis, Fulton County DA, prosecutions of Trump.
Not sure what he actually did-but he wants your vote to be Governor.
Fortunately Burt Jones is also running with President Trumps endorsement.
We’ll see what Dominion does
PAST TIME for THAT GRIFTER / DOMINION / CCP Hose Coupling to BE GONE !

When libs talk about “its all for the children”…hang onto your wallet.
My question is this…with all the government money, from IL and the nation, thrown at their “problems”, why are there hungry children …
“1 in 4 children that go to bed hungry every night in Chicago.”
The article references “dedicated law enforcement”…
“There are many things the federal government could do to help us reduce crime and violence in Chicago,”
https://wgntv.com/news/chicago-news/i-think-chicago-will-be-next-president-trump-signals-plans-to-extend-crackdown-on-crime-to-chicago/
The other things referenced…I am sure that means more tax dollars.
Its the Chicago Way.
Probably because about 1 in 4 Chicago residents is an illegal alien?
That’s because their fat sheboon mamas eat most of the families food.
Starting at 4:36, I’m gonna admit, those onions I was slicing got really strong.

Scotty thinks it’s go time, or he wouldn’t have ended his video with the Rendezvous with Destiny.
Maybe he’s right, maybe he’s wrong.
Armed National Guard in DC and heading soon to Chicago and NY, plus JAG Officers moved to prosecute misdemeanors in DC (busting out the bad apples to traffic ticket duty to clear the way for loyals elsewhere perhaps?) tends to suggest he is not crazy.
Prayers up.
Death to the Nazi World Order. May it be buried in ignominy for 1,000 years.
God bless all Patriots.
*As always, Scotty is not everybody’s cup of tea so just roll on by if you don’t like people scrutizing Truths and time stamps.
“surrender”
We fit the description, do we not? Economically weakened, morally weakened . . .
There is a point beyond which the Nazis must not advance.
We have arrived at that point.
thats the only condition he said to end this

He will get convicted of manslaughter first. I don’t think he will make it through his time in prison
Indian can be used interchangeably with Pakistani…same same for all intents and purposes.
By that logic, Arab and Israeli are also interchangeable, and also conservative vs. leftist. Same same, right?
Seriously?
How can anyone support?!!?!!?🤢

It’s up to the parents now, to be vigilant and exercise their rights.
This is going to cause chaos at home and chaos in the schools, and reading and writing and math proficiency levels will continue to tank.

Sometimes, I wonder if Canada – geographically the second-largest nation on earth – should pro-actively divide itself into multiple separate countries. If only to protect the rest of it from the apparently insanely-stupid “central” government of the aforesaid.
These so-called governors are forcing this once proud nation to hang its collective head. Perhaps the best thing to do, then, is to get rid of the lot of them. The United States carved a portion of the same geographic territory into at least thirteen States.
Apparently the Crown Corporation owns a large chunk of Canada.
I like the attitude
Quite feisty… 😉
On August 22, 2025, President Donald Trump stated he would give Russian President Vladimir Putin “a couple of weeks” to determine whether potential consequences against Moscow would be imposed, reiterating a timeline he has previously used to assess Putin’s willingness to end the war in Ukraine. Trump emphasized that he would decide on his course of action within two weeks, saying, “We’ll see what happens. I think in two weeks, we’ll know which way I’m going, because I’m going to go one way or the other, and they’ll learn which way.

🚨 BREAKING: Now, lawmakers in the RED STATE OF KANSAS are becoming interested in joining the 2026 redistricting fight – seeking to add a Republican seat for Congress.
Cont….
Kansas is not necessarily a Red state. Wichita and Kansas City and their surrounding suburbs are Blue. Only the towns in Western Kansas are hanging on (by a thread) to their Red status. The governor of Kansas is a Democrat. Interesting to see how this Gerrymandering will work out.

Thank you!
Wikipedia is a cancer . Constantly altered to fit with left wing talking points . Read the bottom about Obama , they say Obama placed these coins on U.S soldiers graves . That never ever happened . Obama hates the U.S military with a passion.
Extreme water and power usage…
The scale of the operation here is immense. At the moment, Hyperion sprawls over 2,250 acres, but eventually it is expected to cover six square miles of the flat American plain that begins on the west bank of the Mississippi River. Holly Ridge is so small its population is not listed in the most recent census, but the data center plot here could contain Heathrow International Airport.
The centers also require lakes of water. As the servers run nonstop, they are sometimes surrounded by a network of cooling tubes and towers of chilled water to absorb heat. In some cases, the servers even sit in a pool of liquid that absorbs heat. A Meta data center in Georgia that is much smaller than Hyperion uses around 500,000 gallons of water each day, and residents near data centers have reported issues with their home’s water systems, according to a New York Times report last month.
Holly Ridge’s operation will need more than 1 million gallons of water daily, according to a RealClearInvestigations estimate. That has raised concerns among environmental groups like the Sierra Club’s Delta chapter.
“We don’t believe it is sustainable,” the Sierra Club’s Angelle Bradford told RCI. “Our farmers in the area are concerned.

A report released on Friday by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) predicted that President Donald Trump’s tariffs will reduce federal deficits by around $4 trillion over the next decade.
If Trump’s global tariff hikes continue, increased revenue could shrink primary deficits by $3.3 trillion and cut federal interest payments by $0.7 trillion over the next decade, the CBO said.

Newly unearthed documents show deep state government actors once again circling the wagons to protect Bill and Hillary Clinton — and suppressing evidence that implicated them. Last week it was the FBI, this week it is the IRS.
In 2019, the IRS Criminal Investigations Division quietly launched a probe into the Clinton Foundation’s tax practices, working closely with whistleblowers John Moynihan and Larry Doyle, financial experts who had compiled thousands of pages of evidence.
According to internal agency memos reported by Just the News, IRS agents reviewed the evidence and at least one agent concluded it meant that the “entire [Clinton Foundation] enterprise is a fraud.” Agents then moved to treat the whistleblowers as cooperating witnesses and even set up secure computer servers to hold the material they had collected.

If you are and enterprising young reporter I have a tip for you.
You can retrace many of the political follies of Gavin Newsom if you undertake a deep dive of the columns of Matier & Ross in the SF Chronicle.
Political muckrakers for a liberal newspaper in a liberal city for 40+ years.
They tortured Newsom because they knew he was a mental pygmie.

An Update About CBO’s Projections of the Budgetary Effects of Tariffs
Excerpt:
As tariffs changed frequently throughout 2025, we have regularly updated the Congress about projected tariff revenues; this blog post is the latest in that series. This time, we have updated our estimates of tariff revenues as part of developing the short-term economic forecast (covering 2025 to 2028) that we will be publishing on September 12……
……the changes in tariffs will reduce total deficits by $4.0 trillion altogether

@realDonaldTrump
I am pleased to announce that the Radical Left Representatives working at the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) have now admitted how incredible my Tariff strategy has been, saying that, “Trump’s Tariffs reduce the deficit by $4 Trillion Dollars.” When I began my Tariff policy suggestions, they refused to acknowledge the potential SUCCESS that would be derived. Deficits are DOWN, Taxes are DOWN, Energy is DOWN, Prices generally are DOWN, the only things that are UP are, Take Home Pay, the Stock Market, and our Country, which is the “HOTTEST” anywhere in the World. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
