Donald Trump is moving closer to either pardoning gilane maxwell or giving her a commutation and releasing her from prison and he seems that he may be using the government shutdown as cover to engage in his most heinous acts including potentially pardoning gilane maxwell or commuting her sentence there have been a number of events

just over the past week that raise major red flags here about what's really going on you put it all together And I think you can come to the same conclusion that I have. Let's just put all of this together. On Friday, Donald Trump pardoned George Santos, who was sentenced to 87 months in prison for wire fraud and aggravated theft. Just to remind you, Santos pled guilty to filing fraudulent FEC reports, embezzling funds from campaign donors, stealing identities, and then swiping people's credit cards or charging those credit cards. without authorization and consent, obtaining unemployment benefits through fraud, and lying on reports to the U.S. House of Representatives.

Donald Trump put out a social media post saying that as long as you support me and always vote Republican, you can get a pardon or a commutation and that Santos would be released immediately. Why am I talking about George Santos? Because Donald Trump is trying to prime the public, prepare the public to get used to this flurry of pardons and commutations that are going to take place. As I put in a social media post, Santos is the appetizer,

just getting ready for the ultimate pardon of Gilein Maxwell. I think in many ways, the point of pardoning Santos, more than anything in addition to just giving another FU to our justice system, is to start moving in the direction of that pardon of Gilein Maxwell. Let me remind you of some other events that went down this week.

The yacht, once owned by Geelaine Maxwell's father, caught fire and was largely destroyed in Washington, D.C. It was called the Lady Geelaine, and this was owned by Robert Maxwell, who died on the boat in 1991. If you want to see these shady connections here as well, that boat was then subsequently purchased by Rupert Murdoch's ex-wife, Anna Murdoch Man, and who the Murdox owned that boat. The death, by the way, of Gilein Maxwell's father, Robert in 1991, was under very suspicious circumstances. He was allegedly peeing naked off the side of the boat and then fell over, I guess, was the official story. It was then determined that he engaged in a massive fraud and embezzlement scheme of his companies, quite literally stealing from his employees.

he then and the Maxwell name was then tainted another disgrace that's when Gilane tried to reinvent herself with Jeffrey Epstein and actually Donald Trump one of the first times he met Geelaine was on that boat of Robert Maxwell so the story in reporting is this yacht that was built in 1986 caught on fire mysteriously this week the firefighters discovered an electrical fire in the upper deck and This boat was docked in Washington, D.C., very suspiciously as well. Firefighters were dispatched and put out the fire on that boat named Lady Geelaine. Also, what other data points did we learn this week?

Well, lady, not just in addition to Lady Geelaine, Glein Maxwell, remember, she was moved from that Tallahassee Maximum Security Prison because she was convicted of child sex trafficking where she's supposed to rot, in prison for 20 years for being one of the ring leaders of this massive sex pedo trafficking child trafficking ring she was moved to camp brian this minimum security facility in texas donald trump gave the sex trafficker an exemption from the bureau of prisons because she's not allowed to be in a minimum security facility in camp brian for crimes that are usually more financial in nature or smaller crimes she was moved there as we all

know it's right by the texas a an m university as well but over the past week we've seen that mysterious visitors have been going into gilane maxwell's prison to meet with gilane which then would cause the entire prison to go into lockdown mode the inmates who thought they were going to a minimum security facility they're complaining that she's getting preferential treatment within the minimum security facility. They're like, this is a minimum security facility. You've already moved in a child sex trafficker here. We don't want to bring our children around her.

This is supposed to be a family-friendly minimum security facility. We work with students at Texas A&M and the criminal justice system for restorative justice programs. Why the hell are you bringing a convicted sex trafficker in the first place into this minimum security facility? Then beyond that, mysterious guests had Wall Street Journal first reported it. They would shut down. the prison so she can have these secret meetings with secret people. Nobody knows who these secret

people are that are meeting with her. She's obviously preparing for something right here. And another observer said that she's being treated like a guest in a five-star hotel. They're treating her like some VIP in a VIP hotel. Prison experts have been saying. Ever every one of those days where you're juggling a thousand things. And by the time the sun goes down, last thing you want is a hangover the next morning, same here.

Remember, this follows the United States Supreme Court rejecting her final appeal to the Supreme Court on her case. So to me, the Trump regime is treating her like a VIP superstar.

She's controlling what happens next. she obviously knows what Donald Trump was up to. She obviously knows about his dark past. They were close friends as close as can be. She's on emails that Bloomberg discovered 19,000 emails where she talks about a very shady real estate transaction that Donald Trump, this was part of the falling out between Trump and Jeffrey Epstein in 2004, 2005.

This healthcare executive guy in West Palm Beach was supposed to, in a foreclosure, set it up so that Epstein was going to buy the house for like 30 million, 35 million. Then Trump and the guy set it up so Trump bought it for $45 million. Then about three or four years later, Trump sold that same property for like $90 million to a Russian oligarch who then basically destroyed the home after buying it. There were some who suspected, I don't know, I'm saying, I don't know. There were some who suspected could it be a money laundering scheme?

What the hell could have happened? No one ever got to the bottom of it. But there are emails between Glein and Jeffrey Epstein that were discovered, which totally also shows that. Glein was lying when she met with the DOJ, Donald Trump's number, Donald Trump's former criminal defense lawyer, turned number two at the DOJ, Todd Blanche, which is like, I don't know much about it.

You were talking about Trump like in 2007, 2008 emails about that real estate transaction, that real estate transaction pissed Jeffrey Epstein off because Epstein thought he was going to buy it for $35 million. And then Epstein started threatening Trump over that transaction. And then many people believe or some people believe was it then that Donald Trump basically became, was he an informant? Or did he tip off the FBI and let them, or the local police authorities to let them know what he knew about Epstein. Because Ian Epstein hung out. He said, it was a great guy.

Epstein sex trafficked from Mar-a-Lago girls like Virginia Joufrey. And in like a bad way was Trump like then telling on. Epstein to help himself because Epstein knew about the transaction over that real estate deal. In any event, a lot of developments this week, and may I remind you that a few weeks back when Donald Trump's press secretary, chief propagandist Caroline Levitt, was asked about clemency for Delane Maxwell, she didn't deny that this is what Donald Trump was thinking about. Here, play this clip. Today, the Supreme Court declined to hear Jelaine's Maxwell's appeal. Will Trump rule out granting her clemency?

Is that something the White House is considering? It's not something I've heard discussed. And we don't comment on clemency requests that may or may not have been made, but I'm certainly not tracking that one at this point in time. I would also like to remind you that we're in this government shutdown. One of the reasons is because Donald Trump does not want Congress to go back into session. He's ordered, Maga Mike, do not speak to Democrats, yet alone negotiate with Democrats, because if Congress goes back into session, then Adelita Grihalva, the Congresswoman

elect from Arizona's seventh congressional district would be sworn in as a member of Congress. She would become the 218 signature on that discharge petition to release the Epstein files, all of it. Trump and Maga Mike are terrified of it. So in addition to wanting to rip away your health care, 20 million Americans losing health care while Argentina is getting a $40 billion bailout, part of this also is Trump. wanting to cover up the Epstein files and not ever swear in Adelaideh Grijalva. Watch what goes down here as Rokana explains the real reason for this government shutdown.

Play this clip. Look, the speaker was asked this morning by a mother almost in tears, a Republican mother, saying the troops are not being paid. Can we at least get Congress in to pay the troops? And they don't want to have Congress in to pay the troops because they're afraid of swearing in Adelita Grijalva because they're afraid. of a vote on the Epstein files, it is just so rotten and it really raises the question, what is there to hide? And may I also remind you that when Donald Trump was asked in the past

few weeks about, are you pardoning Guillain Maxwell after the Supreme Court rejected Geelaine's appeal, Trump said he would look into it. Here, play this clip. The Supreme Court is back and they rejected today an appeal by Elaine Maxwell to overturn her conviction. That means her only chance of getting out of prison is a pardoned for you is that something you're who are we talking about you know I haven't heard the name it so long I can say this that I'd have to take a look at it I would have to take a look did they reject that she wanted to appeal her conviction and what happened I said that they were not going to hear her appeal I see well I'll take a look at it I will speak to

the DAJ I wouldn't consider it or not consider I don't know anything about it so but I'll speak I will speak to the DAJ I don't know I mean I'd have to speak to the DAJ I don't I don't know. I mean, I'd have to speak to the DOJ. I'll look at it. I'll, I have a lot of people have asked me for pardons. Uh, uh, uh, I call them puff daddy has asked me for a pardon. But she was convicted of child sex trafficking. Yeah, I mean, I'm going to have to take a look at it. I have to ask DOJ. I didn't know they rejected it. I didn't know she was even asking for it, frankly. So I think when you tie this all together, some shady stuff is taking place, the destruction of the yacht, mysterious guests going in and meeting with Geelaine.

The pardon of George Santos right there, the government shutdown taking place, the discovery of new emails, right? As the walls are closing in, I think you see the plan developing, and I hope you see the way I've showed you all those data points, because to me, it paints a very compelling picture. I'm giving you my opinion, opinion, opinion, opinion. Come to your own opinion, opinion, opinion, but I think if you use the data, maybe you come to my opinion.
