Insights
1Unfettered Presidential Pardon Power
The President's ability to grant pardons is an unfettered constitutional power, allowing total discretion without restriction, even in cases that appear overtly corrupt.
The pardon attorney under President Biden, Liz Oyer, states, 'nothing other than the president's conscience restricts his ability to grant a pardon. It's an unfettered power in the constitution that the president has total discretion to exercise however he sees fit.'
2Ghislaine Maxwell's Clemency Quid Pro Quo
Ghislaine Maxwell offered to clear Donald Trump's name in exchange for clemency, a proposal described as unprecedented in the history of pardon power, especially given the nature of her crimes.
Liz Oyer states, 'The idea that she is trying to trade clemency for exoneration of President Trump related to Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking of children is something unprecedented in the use of pardon power throughout history.'
3Maxwell's Lack of Credibility as a Witness
Maxwell is considered an unreliable witness because she has demonstrated a willingness to say anything in her personal interest to reduce her 20-year prison sentence, making her testimony lack credibility.
Liz Oyer explains, 'Glenn Maxwell, however, is not a good witness because she has zero credibility whatsoever. She has made it very clear that she is willing to say whatever is in her own personal interest.'
4Alleged Intervention by Todd Blanch
Todd Blanch, Donald Trump's personal criminal defense attorney and now Deputy Attorney General, allegedly intervened to facilitate Maxwell's transfer to a minimum-security prison and connected her with a new lawyer who is a personal friend of Blanch's.
Liz Oyer details, 'Blanch himself went to the prison where Maxwell was housed... met with her over the course of two days... with a new lawyer who stepped in to represent Maxwell, who happens to be a personal friend of Todd Blanch. And after she spent two days answering their questions, she was transferred to a minimum security prison camp in Texas.' Oyer notes this move for a sex offender would require Deputy Attorney General approval.
5Firing of Lead Prosecutor Maureen Comey
Maureen Comey, the lead prosecutor in Ghislaine Maxwell's case, was fired from the Justice Department without explanation in July, just days before Todd Blanch met with Maxwell. This raises suspicions of a cover-up, as Comey was the most knowledgeable person about the evidence.
Liz Oyer highlights, 'the lead prosecutor in Glenn Maxwell's case, uh, Marine Comey was fired from the Justice Department in July... It is quite extraordinary that the prosecutor who sent Glenn Maxwell to prison for 20 years was fired without any explanation.' She adds, 'The fact that she was fired, removed from the building just days before Todd Blanch went to meet with Glenn Maxwell... is highly suspect.'
6DOJ's Alleged Failure to Pursue Justice
The current Justice Department leadership, including the Director of the FBI and Deputy Attorney General, is criticized for ruling out other co-conspirators without investigation and for not meeting with victims, prioritizing political interests over justice.
Liz Oyer states, 'It is quite bizarre and frankly inappropriate that the director of the FBI and the deputy attorney general would rule out the possibility that there are other criminal co-conspirators without conducting any investigation.' She also notes, 'the victims have not had any opportunity to meet with her or the leadership of the Justice Department.'
Bottom Line
A future Democratic House could subpoena Maureen Comey, the fired lead prosecutor in the Maxwell case, to testify about her knowledge of the Epstein network and the circumstances of her dismissal.
Her testimony could provide critical, unredacted information about other implicated individuals and shed light on potential political interference or cover-ups within the Justice Department, which the current DOJ might attempt to block using privilege claims.
Advocates for transparency and justice could push for such a subpoena to bypass current DOJ resistance and uncover suppressed information, potentially leading to further prosecutions or public accountability.
Lessons
- Recognize the broad and unchecked power of the President to grant pardons, and consider its potential for political abuse.
- Be critical of claims from individuals with clear self-interest, such as Ghislaine Maxwell, especially when clemency is on the table.
- Scrutinize actions by high-level Justice Department officials, particularly when they involve individuals with personal ties to political figures or beneficiaries of potential pardons.
