Murdering Ghislaine Maxwell

The former Epstein fixer poses a massive threat to a lot of important people

I spent most of my adult life in law enforcement — until I couldn’t anymore. Not because the job suddenly got too physically demanding, but because of what it does to your mind. It changes you, and not for the better. Still, I learned a lot. Chief among those lessons: humanity’s endless capacity for cruelty and deception.

I’ve been following the Epstein saga closely. Like many of you, I do not doubt that Donald Trump is deeply entangled in it. That’s why the files remain sealed. If he wanted the truth out — which he doesn’t — Ghislaine Maxwell would be offered immunity in exchange for her testimony. Her sentence would be reduced or commuted, just like it happens all over the world: cut deals with the small fish to catch the bigger ones.

But that’s not going to happen. Why? Because too many big fish are hiding in the shadows, hoping the light never finds them.

So why isn’t Maxwell being called to testify? The answer is obvious. She’s facing federal charges, and any immunity deal would have to come from the Attorney General. That would be Pam Bondi — one of Trump’s most loyal foot soldiers. Anyone really think she’s going to greenlight that?

Of course not. Letting Maxwell talk isn’t something Trump and his loyal band of clowns and crackpots can afford. They’re running out of excuses — each more bizarre than the last — as to why she’s not testifying. The truth is, Maxwell poses a real threat. Not just to Trump, but to a long list of powerful people who laughed, drank, and abused with Epstein in the sun-soaked shadows of his private island.

So what’s the play? It’s the same solution they used before: kill her and call it a suicide. Sound familiar?

They won’t even need to get their hands dirty. For the right price, you can always find someone — another inmate, a guard — willing to do the job and make it look self-inflicted.

Take Epstein: the story goes he tied a bedsheet to the bunk, looped it around his neck, and hurled himself forward. Sometimes off the bed. Sometimes using the wall. It doesn’t always work the first time. But with enough force, you can crush your larynx, break your neck, or slowly choke to death. It’s a crude, brutal way to go. It requires planning, knowledge, and intent. It’s known as a poor man’s hanging.

Maxwell has shown no signs of being suicidal. She’s actively fighting to get her case reheard. But that’s unlikely. Bondi will make sure it doesn’t happen—orders from above. Orders from Trump.

Ghislaine poses a massive threat. There are people who can’t afford to leave her alive. So what will they do? The same thing they did to Epstein.

And yes, people will scream. They’ll call bullshit. But just like before, it won’t matter. The noise will fade. The outrage will burn out. Eventually, it’ll all be whispers in the wind.

Maxwell dead. Problem solved. Believe it.
