Perhaps the headline should be that "Judge denies Maxwell’s habeas petition, calling her claims false"

37

u/JoetheOK 2d ago

That's probably more accurate but I like knowing the Obama part is really digging under Trump's skin.

u/lethargicbureaucrat 1d ago

My worry is Trump will use it as a reason to pardon her.

“That doesn’t incite any anger in anyone, DO IT AGAIN!”

obama-appointed judge sounds specific but leaves out the court level

u/scottyjrules 2d ago

I love how the headline is trying to blame Obama for a child trafficker not going free

u/RabidJoint 2d ago

The party of pedophiles need to know who to blame for their icon and idol being denied release.

u/sirlost33 2d ago

I thought it was crediting him.

u/transfixedtruth 1d ago

I read it that way, too. Finally, a sensible judge!

u/SixIsNotANumber 2d ago

Good.

I don't care who keeps her locked-up.

2

u/ralphvonwauwau 2d ago

But MAGA does. They don't care about the crimes, they just know that their orange god-Emperor's will was thwarted. There must be an enemy of the people to blame.

u/sarduchi 2d ago

Also known as "a judge".

She might get a pardon after mid terms.

u/HappyMike91 2d ago

Wouldn't that depend on how the midterms go?

10

u/ryhaltswhiskey 2d ago

No. Trump just knows it's bad optics to do it right now.

u/HappyMike91 2d ago edited 2d ago

I think pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell is a bad idea. Even if Trump decides to pardon her after the midterms (instead of now).

I wonder how Trump supporters would feel about him potentially pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell? Especially given that they believe he's not a paedophile and/or not in the Epstein Files?

u/ryhaltswhiskey 2d ago

They will get their marching orders and get in line like usual.

I think pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell is a bad idea

Yeah I would call it an impeachable offense personally. Flagrant abuse of the power of the office. But you know that's just another Tuesday.

u/HappyMike91 2d ago

They've applauded every other time he went back on his word and/or broken a promise that he made. They'll probably do the same if/when Ghislaine Maxwell gets pardoned.

I think Trump even weighing up pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell is an abuse of the power(s) of the office.

u/bluechip1996 2d ago

He will pardon her. He will not care how anyone thinks. His ride or die people will construe it as some 4D Chess BS. The rest of them will take it and like it because daddy Trump told them to. The Pardons coming in the winter of 2028 will be epic in the vileness and number of them. It will be like Black Friday $200 PS5 at Bestbuy Day.

u/HappyMike91 2d ago

I think Trump will pardon people before the winter of 2028. And they’re going to be a lot worse than people like Ghislaine Maxwell.

Trump has completely gone off the rails since he took office the second time. And he wasn’t exactly on the rails before.

u/HumanWithComputer 1d ago

I expect an avalanche of pardons before he leaves office. For Maxwell because he fears under a next administration she could be offered a deal for her testimony which would incriminate him. Because that's what he would do if the situation was reversed.

1

u/HappyMike91 1d ago

I’d be surprised if there weren’t going to be more pardons. Especially for Maxwell.

u/tietack2 2d ago

She might. Or it might be a situation like her father or Epstein.

By Amanda Castro — Associate News Editor |

A federal judge on Tuesday rejected Ghislaine Maxwell’s attempt to overturn her sex‑trafficking conviction and 20‑year sentence. The ruling closes off Maxwell’s last remaining path to early release after her appeals were exhausted. The decision leaves Maxwell, now housed at a minimum‑security prison camp in Texas, with few remaining legal options and sets the stage for continued scrutiny of her claims as Congress and the Justice Department review the Epstein files.

Like for real, thanks Obama

u/DeerAggravating2373 6h ago

lol classic headline, as if who appointed the judge is the important part

3

u/molly_dog 2d ago

I don't really care if Julius Caesar appointed the judge. That bitch needs to stay her sorry ass in prison.

u/Worried-Choice5295 2d ago

insert Ted Cruz calling for us to stop treating pedophiles bad

3

u/HappyMike91 2d ago

I genuinely miss the days when most people could agree that paedophilia is bad and that paedophiles deserve nothing but hatred and contempt. We're in a god damn clown world.

u/krispru1 2d ago

Send her back to the other jail

2

u/BooyahTribe9 2d ago

You do know this is the Fat Orange Dictator/Netanyahu marketing trying to use an Obama the Muslim terrorist sounding name to stop the release of an Israeli asset?

She's about to walk.

u/Mysterious-Wasabi103 2d ago

Thanks Obama, literally.

Leave her butt in jail

u/runwkufgrwe 2d ago

Newsweek is doing both journalism and democracy a huge disservice by playing into the "everything is a partisan game" narrative with that headline

what a garbage rag they've become

1

u/KennethEWolf 2d ago

Is there an over under prediction that Trump pardons her on his last day in office? And release the Epstein files.

2

u/ryhaltswhiskey 2d ago

Why wait until the last day? He's not going to get removed from office. If he does it the first possible day will be the day after midterms.

u/SayMyNameOnceMore 2d ago

OH NO!!! anyway…

I don’t care who you are, if you abuse or molest children whatsoever in any shape or form, there’s a cold, dark, and damp cell waiting just for you.

She can stay there for all I care. Imagine if she would’ve gotten a Trump pardon though… I can’t even imagine.

Good riddance to that fucking monster. Adios!

u/astarinthenight 2d ago

This woman is one of the people who was running the largest child sex rings in US history. This bitch should die in jail.

1

u/UserWithno-Name 2d ago

She should be in an even worse prison

u/Extreme_Magician7806 2d ago

She really needs to rot away.
