In the 1933 classic movie, The Invisible Man, the local constable responds to a question of the problem present in dealing with the main character: “He’s invisible, that’s what’s the matter with him.”
In some ways, Ghislaine Maxwell may be the ultimate villain for many in the establishment. As the longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein, Maxwell was often invisible, an enabling character who allegedly helped Epstein collect young girls for himself and his high-powered friends. As a result, she saw everything and knew everything.
As the Invisible Man explained in the movie, “an invisible man can rule the world. Nobody will see him come, nobody will see him go. He can hear every secret.”
I have recently noted reports that the Justice Department previously interviewed her. Yet, I spoke with her counsel Leah Saffian, who confirms that the Justice Department never interviewed Maxwell over the many years of investigations into the scandal. The legal team insists that neither federal nor state investigators have ever interviewed Maxwell.
That struck me as remarkably odd in a scandal that has involved a myriad of state and federal investigations and reports. After all, Maxwell was the ever-present sidekick of Epstein. Indeed, she was vilified as a virtual scout for new girls to feed the insatiable appetite of the wealthy pedophile and human trafficker.
I have been skeptical that, after all of these years, Maxwell would be sitting on anything new. The expiration date on this milk ran years ago. It has been three years since she was sentenced in federal court in New York City to twenty years’ imprisonment. If she had the “goods” on anyone, she would have presumably shopped the evidence to secure a better deal.
However, that raises the question again of this curious failure to interview Maxwell in the many years that have transpired since Epstein was first charged. Is it possible that she is sitting on a mountain of undisclosed facts on the “who’s who” of celebrities who flew on Epstein’s “Lolita Express” or visited his island? Figures from Bill Clinton to Bill Gates have been linked to such trips. Most recently, a woman stepped forward with allegations against President Donald Trump.
The public could learn the answer to this question after the House Oversight Committee approved a motion to subpoena Maxwell for testimony before Congress.
The Trump Administration is also fighting to demonstrate its support for full disclosure, following allegations that Attorney General Pam Bondi was withholding information. In a very unusual move, Todd Blanche, the Deputy Attorney General (and former personal counsel to the President), is arranging a sit-down meeting with Maxwell at her prison.
The question is not whether there is much that Maxwell knows that has not been made public. She clearly does have such information. The question is whether any of that information is material and significant in terms of criminal conduct. Epstein clearly hosted a wide range of influential figures, but they have denied having sexual relations with these “associates.”
Many in the public remain skeptical of third-party accounts or interpretations of the evidence. The only way to quell much of the lingering suspicion would be for the evidence itself to be transparent and public. The concern over special treatment and protections for the rich and powerful was magnified in the Epstein scandal, with its luxury jets and private island.
Even assuming that Maxwell has evidence against some of these celebrities, it is unclear whether criminal or civil charges would result, given the passage of time and relevant statutes of limitation. For example, there is a statute of limitations of ten years for human trafficking crimes. However, in September 2022, President Biden signed the Eliminating Limits to Justice for Child Sex Abuse Victims Act into law, eliminating the statute of limitations for TVPRA civil claims brought by minors. It is not retroactive.
However, child abuse and human trafficking violations could still be prosecuted. The question is whether the victims previously made allegations that could now be corroborated by Maxwell. If so, she has something to trade in a cooperation deal.
In the federal system, the government can file a Section 5K1.1 motion under the United States Sentencing Guidelines for a reduction in sentence if Maxwell provides “substantial assistance” in the investigation or prosecution of another person before sentencing.
The key is the word “substantial.” These motions can only be filed by the Justice Department, which requires a witness to offer material testimony to support the prosecution of others.
If Maxwell simply has embarrassing information, that is not sufficient for 5K1.1.
Maxwell could also hope for a pardon or commutation by Trump, which would more likely come near the end of his second term. She could defuse any allegations against him in these interviews.
The interviews or hearings pose risks for Maxwell. She can be charged with lying to federal investigators under 18 U.S.C. 1001 or perjury in any testimony. She would likely explore an immunity grant from Congress to avoid incriminating herself through any testimony.
All of this has made many people in the Beltway nervous. This is a city filled with crisis managers and the greatest danger is always the unknown. Maxwell is the ultimate example of the menace of the unknown. As the Invisible Man himself explained, “Suddenly I realized the power I held, the power to rule, to make the world grovel at my feet.”

*. Interpret what you think is happening in these documents, Keith. Saves everyone redundant work.
Thanks
*. Leon Black, Apollo Global Management. Global is 650 billion.
Chase Bank – paid 290 million to approx 100 victims? Can you explain their involvement? Lay person language, Keith.
There’s enough money here to tilt the earth and marginally attractive teenagers with criminal prosecution immunity.
*. Defies explanation.
If they did it, nail them. Ruining lives for a few dollars.
*. What’s the lesson? Girls, 18 is when you marry. Go out on group dates only. If anyone hurts you, go to police asap. Learn the hand signal for HELP. Stay in school and learn a trade if not more. No massage nor this work at all.
Epstein’s in hell right now and all the women are 60 and older. He works in a nursing home earning 20 dollars per hour. He has no memory of his past life. He’s not handsome. He’s not rich. His father is still a mail carrier and mother a housewife.
Terrible story girls should learn. Virginia Roberts was abused at 12. Too bad Epstein didn’t fund a home for wayward teens.
*. Massage parlors aren’t really what they seem. Laws closing all massage parlors. Massage education at colleges as a vocation. Massage availability if linked to MD or doctor of chiropractic or physical therapy offices. Restricted vocation because it’s abusable. The US is not southeast Asia.
Prosecute Americans who are arrested as such tourists upon return to United States after prosecution in foreign nation. As Maxwell sentenced to 20 years same upon return. There are murders associated with this behavior and conduct.
In the second PDF cited in the courtlistener document we find
Where did all the money come from to buy all this property?
It appears the bulk of it came from two billionaires,
Les Wexner https://share.google/wb6FDULfY38nXVRCm
and
Leon Black https://share.google/ue9ZGyGXv4IUyGTiR
Did Epstein have some special abilities that explain why those billionaires gave him so much money?
What justified those sizable payments?
Those are very reasonable questions.
*. What’s a guess? How can it make sense?
Explain the 290 million pay out, Chase Bank and Deutsche Bank upcoming.
*. Maxwell was given limited immunity.
The DOJ is responding to specific charges made by the teenagers. The teens weren’t CPAs. The teens named specific men. Wexner was named.
Other faces seen may have been investors, lawyers, MIT, Harvard and others seeking educational donations. Instructors have resigned over taint such as Joi Ito, MIT, when his female colleagues couldn’t tolerate such donations. Museums and Art Academies also received Epstein donations and it goes.
I presume the DOJ questions are limited to the names named. Senator Wyden has another finance investigation currently.
The “list” is presumably limited to those accused as was Maxwell accused.
Donors, donations and investors having nothing to do with the girls are real, too. Presumably the billionaire investors philanthropic club is disbanded. DJT was not a member. He doesn’t have charities nor Ivy League donations, Presumably.
Maxwell is scheduled to testify mid August before congress? Is that the finance committee. She wasn’t part of that end of the business.
It’s amazing. Epstein appears to have had self sabotage behaviors.
*. The teenagers are beards.
Let’s see the testimony.
Thanks for the info, Keith.
*. VI house had 56 million in cash? That’s impossible. 😂
Read again, Anonymous. No where does it say the ” VI house had 56 million in cash.” It was listed as part of the assets reported in the Virgin Islands. Assets, particularly cash, are kept in banks.
*. What reason does the government have to subpoena Maxwell to testify before the Government Operations oversight committee? What do the charges and sentencing and incarceration of a private citizen have to do with the government? That’s truly odd. Drag in anyone and force testimony? Questions about the FBI maybe and how her case was executed?
Bizarre?
*. Maxwell’s testimony must be substantial. Substantial means it must lead to a criminal prosecution of one or more people.
All is quiet until it’s done.
*. Maxwell filed a cert. Petition, April 2025. The argument presented is the NPA Epstein agreed to in Florida covered her. SCOTUS decides to accept it for review or not. It also argues jurisdiction of courts.
The DOJ responded and now seeks additional testimony from Maxwell. Deputy Blanche is carrying that out.
CBS poorly covered this absent facts.
*. In the criminal justice scheme there isn’t a deterrent for teen girls. They know if they engage in these activities they have criminal immunity.
As underage Virginia Roberts traveled with financier Epstein she must have wondered at some time how can a person with a genius IQ not understand I have immunity. That is the invisible man.
Epstein ran a clearinghouse for billionaires and donors. Bill and Hillary Clinton were there seeking donations to the Clinton Foundation. Epstein was a donor primarily to Ivy League computer sciences departments as were big names like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
After Epstein’s arrest and plea in 2006 no one wanted to be associated for fear of being tainted. Joi Ito of MIT resigned because of the taint of the Epstein donations.
*. Maxwell was covered in the NPA 2006 or 08. Specific charges of underage girls based on testimony and photos.
Yet another unreported inconvenient fact by the MSM.
I came across a curious news story at Real Clear Politics published by the left wing news outlet known as Vox. The story explains why the details of the Epstein files should not be released. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/why-didn-t-biden-release-the-epstein-files/ar-AA1Jf4pk. Basically in the story many words were used to say that the Epstein affair is a nothing burger with all the distraction from RussiaGate condiments added to your liking.
Such a posting on Vox is simply a warning to the left that you best let this one go in order to avoid collateral damage to Democratic political representatives in red states. The same tactic was used to distract from Hillary’s top secret server in her home through her cooked up RussiaGate hoax. The worst of it is that they think that the lowly undesirables will never figure it out. I guess we’re not as stupid as they think we are after all. Do you feel insulted?
*. The “teen girls” are merely a portal into finance.
I can’t tolerate “wrong-doing” language as in this article. It’s either a criminal or civil crime. Wrong doings are not dressing for dinner if that.
Article is msm.
*. Are there right-doings?
Doweens.

– Wiki
Everyone of the People on the List that had sex with the underage Women are Sexual Predators hence Sex Offenders, and as such, need to be published to a list in so that the Community of which they reside are aware that they have a Sex Offender living near them. Further these Sexual Predators need to go Door to Door in person to the immediate Neighbor and acknowledge to the Neighbor’s that they are a Sex Offender. They need to be listed in the National Sex Offender Registry.
This would include William Jefferson Clinton’s neighborhood.
RE:
Background on the National Sex Offenders Registry:
The FBI’s Crimes Against Children Unit coordinated the development of the National Sex Offender Registry, which is currently managed by the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services Division (CJIS). The National Sex Offender Registry is a database available only to law enforcement.
Legislative Authority:
Passed in 2006, the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act created a new sex offender registration and notification baseline standard for jurisdictions, replacing a patchwork of laws that included the Jacob Wetterling Crimes Against Children and Sexually Violent Offender Registration Act, the Pam Lychner Sexual Offender Tracking and Identification Act of 1996, and Megan’s Law.
The Adam Walsh Act tasked the FBI with continuing to maintain the National Sex Offender Registry and established the Dru Sjodin National Sex Offender Public Website. The law also expanded the number of sex offenses registration jurisdictions must capture to include all federal, state, territory, tribal, military, and certain foreign convictions and established community notification standards.
Earlier Legislation:
The Pam Lychner Sexual Offender Tracking and Identification Act of 1996 (Lychner Act) requires the Attorney General to establish a national database at the FBI to track the whereabouts and movements of certain convicted sex offenders. The FBI’s National Crime Information Center enables the National Sex Offender Registry to retain the offender’s current registered address and dates of registration, conviction, and residence.
The Jacob Wetterling Crimes Against Children and Sexual Violent Offender Registration Program, enacted in 1994, provides a financial incentive for states to establish registration programs for persons who have been convicted of certain sex crimes.
Megan’s Law, enacted in May 1996, amends the Wetterling Program legislation to give states broad discretion to determine to whom notification should be made about offenders, under what circumstances, and about which offenders.

If the Names of the Individuals on the List are not placed in the registry, this would evidence the complicity of the FBI and Other member so the Intelligence Community.
It’s the Law.
First, what is the “list.” Second, if there is one, for each person on it, you’d still need proof they had sex with an underage female. Just a list of names does not prove that. There has to be a prosecution where rules of evidence are followed, and the government proves it to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt. For example, how would you know the identity and age of the woman they had sex with? Third, one person who has seen the relevant documents unredacted (Alan Dershowitz) says there are no famous people who would be implicated. This last point is not directly responsive to your comment, but to people salivating for dirt on famous people. I believe they will be disappointed.
The ‘List’ is the record(s) of the persons whom engaged with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell on Little St. James Island in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
> You’d still need proof they had sex with an underage female.
Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in prison for Trafficking Children for Sex. In her Trial the names of these Children and their corresponding testimony reveal the Individual identities of their Sexual Offenders and Those whom were also present to the ongoing activates of the Island. The presence of Those whom were present are also Accessory to the fact of the sexual crimes.
As to this point in time, Evidence supports that further investigation of the Individuals involved (All the Women) on the Island during Jeffrey Epstein’s time there, should be made to discover all of Whom and What activities incurred thereof.
Hence a comprehensive ‘List’ of the Individuals involved. These Individual’s testimony can then be collaborated into Sexual Offender, Non-Sexual Offenders, Accessory and Collaborator(s).
There is already plenty of recorded evidence (by Investigators and literally Jeffrey Epstein’s own Video Library) to support convictions of Individuals engaged in Sexual Offensives.
Wherefore these Individuals (the List of Individuals) shall be submitted to the FBI National Sex Offenders Registry to be listed.
As for Mr. Alan Dershowitz’s statements, there are a body of evidence that supported the Conviction of Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein (Should He have survived), to wit is but a narrow window on the overall activities performed on the Island. The greater preponderance of evidence lies in the testimony of the under-aged Women (Age 11- 17) whom have yet to be sworn in deposition interviews or affidavits. Wherefore Mr. Dershowitz’s statements remain a syllogism of the facts.
> but to people salivating for dirt on famous people. I believe they will be disappointed.
There is more here than meets the Eye. The powers to be want to keep it swept under the rug.
Mainly because Epstein was an Intelligence Asset. Ghislaine Maxwell was a dilettante that Epstein employed as an attaché to run his Honey Pot.
It’s good ‘Dirt’ on its own. (Res ipsa loquitur – The thing itself speaks)
“Mainly because Epstein was an Intelligence Asset. Ghislaine Maxwell was a dilettante that Epstein employed as an attaché to run his Honey Pot.”
She was a groomer. MAGA hates groomers.
Ghislaine Maxwell was a dilettante employed to attract ‘The Whales’ into Epstein’s Honey Pot.
The real ‘Perpetrators’ behind this are the Case-Workers (Intelligence Managers) and the Nation States that empowered them.
Hey George we’re still waiting for you to show us that Maxwell testimony. You know, where you said she lied? The testimony that doesn’t exist, other than in your own lies.
George are you ever going to get us some of that proof of Fox News advocacy journalism that you were slurring about? Could we at least get some more hilarious wrong FARA quotes?
*. Ghislaine Maxwell was questioned by Mr. Blanche of the AGs office today and answered all questions without evasion. She’s scheduled to give testimony before congress in August.
Has she been diagnosed with a serious illness? 🤔. Ms Maxwell is better than a list.
*. Pardon me this viewpoint-
Epstein gathered a group of men with the highest IQs possible and the best educations in the world peppered with a few politicians. Billionaires go with money because acquiring huge sums of money is easy for high IQs.
As his “staff” he chose teen female high school drop outs with low IQs. The staff could have picked up Einstein’s theory of relativity and wouldn’t know the language making it impossible to spy.
It’s a point of humor. Please, no pearl clutching. The genius club has been disbanded for an arbitrary number. It isn’t Fibonacci. It’s a random number–> 18.
*. Anyone else see the Odysseus and Circe in this story? The Harpies?
Circe turned men into oink oinks.
So nice to see an actual moniker, particularly yours, in the thread. Time for the good professor to ditch the Anonymous user name unless someone gets it first as a unique name. Of course, today it’s easy to figure out which Anonymous posts are George’s.
Correct me if I am wrong here, but doesn’t there need to be a trial (jury of peers and all) to determine if those on the list actually committed a crime? Your comments smells of the agitators who wanted to ruin Kavanaugh on the word of one woman speaking of juvelnile boys rubbing against her at a house party.
*. The story doesn’t make sense! The underage girls always have immunity and cannot be prosecuted. A group of geniuses collectively having nearly a trillion dollars are cavorting with sticks of dynamite?
It’s not believable. If the same teen girls had done the same with teen boys neither is prosecuted.
It’s nonsense.

Amazing, the #1 name is George! What a coincidence!
The accused have a right to due process. What if you were wrongly accused by someone with an ulterior motive? It could happen. One of the powerful perps, or their lawyers, could put your name on the list as retribution for trying hard to “get them in trouble”.
Your protection is due process. You can’t be put on a Sex Offender list without having a chance to defend yourself in a court of law in front of a jury pf your peers — who decide fact from falsehood.
Everyone deserves this level of protection. You talk as if DoJ has the right to publicly disclose your name without ever filing formal charges. This is the “idiocy” of DoJ publishing “the list”, and short-circuiting due process with “conviction in the court of public opinion”.
