The New York Post is sharing statements from Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorney following a second day of DOJ interviews with his client.

However, I would be very cautious with anything said by Ms. Maxwell or her attorney David Oscar Markus.  Both are prone to sensationalism as a legal strategy.

(NYP) – Notorious sex criminal Ghislaine Maxwell answered questions from Justice Department officials about “100 different people” linked to late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, an attorney for the disgraced socialite claimed Friday following two days of questioning led by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.

David Oscar Markus told reporters that his client, currently serving a 20-year sentence after being convicted of federal sex trafficking and conspiracy charges in December 2021, was “asked about every possible thing you could imagine – everything.”

“This was the first opportunity she’s ever been given to answer questions about what happened,” Markus added. “The truth will come out about what happened with Mr. Epstein and she’s the person who’s answering those questions.”

 ~Understanding Silos 101~

Senator Lindsey Graham (Judiciary Committee) and Senator John Cornyn (SSCI) are requesting Attorney General Pam Bondi to appoint a special counsel to look into the Obama administration’s weaponization of the U.S. Intelligence Community to target Donald Trump with fabricated smears and false evidence using a fraudulent Russia connection.

This should be an immediate hard no for a few reasons.  Number one, the special counsel process is where investigations go to die intentionally as a design of the legislative branch defense process.  Second, the special counsel would not have cross-silo access to exfiltrate information unless it was accompanied by very specific Presidential authority.  It just will not work.

The intelligence community information that exposes the plot will be found in very distinct ‘silos’, essentially the intelligence agencies that house the information.  Additionally, inside each of the silos there is a formal and informal process to designate that information based on its internally defined national security value.

An example of silo retention can be found in the issue of the FBI housing information in “prohibited access” files.  These files are not even discoverable by most internal search efforts.

Within the Sentinel system there are “Restricted Access” files that are used to control who can view the file information (sources and methods etc.).  The FBI or investigative official (think authorized special counsel) can see the file but cannot access the information within it without a higher clearance level.  In these files the Special Counsel can request access and then review.  However, recently people discovered there are “Prohibited Access” files that makes the file invisible to both outside and inside searches or queries and are exclusively controlled by the FBI Director and FBI Deputy Director.

President Trump heads to the Federal Reserve today to tour a new FED building and renovation process that is experiencing massive cost overruns.  There are some impromptu remarks that were previously made moments ago that I will break out in another post; however, President Trump is expected to deliver remarks shortly.

I’ll repeat it as much as needed, until it sinks in.

The U.S-Canada trade deal status is simply a no-brainer. President Trump will answer questions about Canada and tariffs, he’ll put people into seats to discuss trade with the Canadian delegation, and he’ll give every outward appearance of being favorable to Prime Minister Mark Carney…. BUT…

In the background, Trump is simply waiting for the USMCA timeline to trigger a renegotiation. President Donald Trump is ambivalent to the trade partnership with Canada. This moot-status reality is why there’s no substantive engagement.

‘No deal’ -until USMCA redo- is a win for President Trump.

For some bizarre reason that I simply cannot fathom, almost every Canadian politician seems entirely oblivious to this reality. Instead, Canadian Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc and Mark Carney’s chief-of-staff, Marc-André Blanchard are once again coming to DC to ride their bicycles in slow circles at the bottom of the White House driveway while staring in the windows.

An article in Politico notes the Canadian premiers are now accepting the August 1st deadline will pass without any agreement, and the 35% reciprocal tariffs on non-USMCA products (meaning a lot of stuff) is going to trigger.

Literally, everything from Canada that has a non-USMCA component is going to be tariffed. Think about all the stuff from China, Asia (writ large) and Europe that Canada assembles for finished goods. All of that stuff will be subject to the tariffs.

Following the ridiculous attempted smear campaign launched by Rupert Murdoch and the Wall Street Journal, President Trump has removed their pool reporter from the traveling press group who will fly to Scotland for Trump’s upcoming visit.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated:

“As the appeals court confirmed, the Wall Street Journal or any other news outlet are not guaranteed special access to cover President Trump in the Oval Office, aboard Air Force One, and in his private workspaces,” Leavitt said in a statement. “Due to the Wall Street Journal’s fake and defamatory conduct, they will not be one of the thirteen outlets on board. Every news organization in the entire world wishes to cover President Trump, and the White House has taken significant steps to include as many voices as possible.”  (link)

This story is representative of just how desperate the political left and media have become over the issue of deporting illegal aliens.

41-year-old Yuriana Julia Pelaez Calderon, of South Los Angeles, who is an illegal alien, participated in a scheme to falsify a rather elaborate story claiming to have been kidnapped by ICE agents.  The woman and a group of co-conspirators, including her lawyer, fabricated a story and held press conferences claiming she was abducted by ICE agents.  The entire story was false, and she was arrested for fabricating the scheme [DOJ Announcement Here]

🚨 WOW! An illegal in California has been charged for STAGING A KIDNAPPING & attempting to FRAME ICE

The “kidnapping” hoax is DIRECTLY out of the Democrats’ playbook. Their rhetoric enabled this.

DOJ – LOS ANGELES – An illegal alien from Mexico has been charged in a federal criminal complaint with orchestrating a phony kidnapping – which she blamed on federal agents or people working with federal agents – to generate public sympathy and solicit donations, the Justice Department announced today.

As lead operative and narrative engineer on the ‘tick-tock’ effort, John Solomon has once again pushed his way to the front of the narrative engineering effort.  As a genuinely glowing Solomon picks up the flag of attention, many people once again start to follow the shiny thing into the dead end of DC silos.

After a few weeks of heavy firing for effect, the people around President Trump, also glowing, organize an interview.  John Solomon and Amanda Head then conduct an interview with President Trump.  {Direct Rumble Link Here}

John Solomon used to write for The Hill, until the people within the editorial team began to label all of Solomon’s reporting as “opinion” regardless of the content.  Solomon then went freelance as a journalist (backing undetermined) until eventually ending up with RealAmerica’sVoice.

I’ll put the entire cabinet meeting in another post.  It is interesting that RFK Jr. was not present (?).

For this outline, let’s focus on the issue that is exploding the MAGA and anti-MAGA universe on social media right now. President Trump and Pam Bondi’s response to a question about Jeffrey Epstein and the controversial DOJ/FBI memo that now states there is no “third party” or “client list” connected to the Epstein sex trafficking.

Obviously, President Trump is not happy with attention focused on the Epstein issues.  The most likely reason for the frustration expressed is simply that President Trump is unaware how much the Epstein issues are -and have been- part of the background focus within the base of his support.  Here’s the segment. WATCH:

First, kudos to Marco Rubio for his stone faced and remarkably unaffected disposition within the exchange.  It takes time and experience to remain stoic at this level.  Exceptional control.

Second, everyone here has a reasonable BS detector – meaning we can tell when a person is not telling the truth.  It is transparently obvious AG Pam Bondi is extremely uncomfortable with the Epstein issue, and her responses indicate she is not being honest or forthright.  You could say, she’s lying; however, the facts of her presentation are a little more complicated.

The main issue around Bondi’s less-than-fulsome response is the motive.  Is she lying because she’s just grossly incompetent about the issue, or is she lying because she is nefarious in her intent.  The Occam’s Razor answer to her obvious parseltongue is a combination of both.

Yesterday, the DOJ and FBI released a memo concluding Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide, maintained no “client list,” and engaged in no blackmail – effectively debunking theories of his motives.  This DOJ/FBI memo contradicts Attorney General Pam Bondi’s prior claims of reviewing such a client list.  Many people are wondering what is going on?

You can read the Two-Page Memo HERE – Also the Video File is HERE

If the memo content is accurate, Jeffrey Epstein trafficked in sex with thousands of minors for his own gratification.  He was not providing underage girls to high profile clients and did not maintain a client list.  Additionally, there is no evidence to support a supposition that Epstein’s actions were part of a system to generate blackmail of influential people.

Oddly, perhaps not, there is no information as to the source of his wealth or financing of his sick activity.  Apparently, Jeffrey Epstein was able to conduct all of these targeting acts, and live a luxurious lifestyle surrounded by codependent enablers, from an unknown source of material wealth and income.

Yes, it all seems odd and irreconcilable.

You are not weird, strange or alone if you do not understand.  None of it makes sense.

As Robert F Kennedy Jr outlines all the bad things the Health and Human Services agency is doing, terrible vaccines, dangerous food additives, horrible health effects from toxic food chemicals, along with corruption, bribery and pay-to-play schemes within the medical advisory system, someone ought to tell him he’s the Health and Human Services Secretary now.

Secretary RFK JR sits down with Tucker Carlson to outline all the deleterious impacts from the processes that flow out of the healthcare system he now controls.
