The New York Post is sharing statements from Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorney following a second day of DOJ interviews with his client.
However, I would be very cautious with anything said by Ms. Maxwell or her attorney David Oscar Markus. Both are prone to sensationalism as a legal strategy.
(NYP) – Notorious sex criminal Ghislaine Maxwell answered questions from Justice Department officials about “100 different people” linked to late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, an attorney for the disgraced socialite claimed Friday following two days of questioning led by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.
David Oscar Markus told reporters that his client, currently serving a 20-year sentence after being convicted of federal sex trafficking and conspiracy charges in December 2021, was “asked about every possible thing you could imagine – everything.”
“This was the first opportunity she’s ever been given to answer questions about what happened,” Markus added. “The truth will come out about what happened with Mr. Epstein and she’s the person who’s answering those questions.”
Blanche had “every single question” answered during the sitdown, Maxwell’s attorney also said, with the British-born convict declining to plead the Fifth Amendment. (read more)
Remember, Ms Maxwell was factually convicted for her role in sex trafficking of minors specifically for the benefit of her employer, Jeffrey Epstein. Her current incarceration applies to her criminal conduct on behalf of her boss, Mr. Epstein.

The clash between migrants and Spaniards has reached the brink. Vigilante groups form when the people lose all trust in their government’s ability to protect them. Spain has launched a probe into far-right groups through the terrorism and organized crime intelligence units, with a particular emphasis on monitoring social media networks.
The government’s emphasis on “far-right activity” comes after yet another instance of violent clashes between native residents and migrants. One particular incident that made headlines occurred in the southeastern town of Torre Pacheo, where one-third of the population is comprised of migrants.
“We cannot allow hatred to take root in our society,” said Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska, during a law enforcement summit. “Crime is not on the rise, nor is it linked to migration,” he added, pushing back against far-right narratives.
The Vox Party, the third-largest party in Spain, is also under investigation for inciting violence for blaming the current government for the growing migrant issue. As I mentioned in an earlier post, since 2020, Spain has experienced an astounding 650% increase in family reunification visas through government programs. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s liberal government plans to permit an additional 900,000 migrants to flow into Spain’s borders over the next three years.
Rocío de Meer, Vox’s spokesperson, stated that “millions of people who have recently arrived and have not adapted to our customs… will have to return to their countries,” urging the government to expel those who “decide not to integrate.” The party has spoken out against NGOs that are assisting migrants to cross into Spain. “Of our country’s 47 million inhabitants, roughly seven million – or more than seven million, because we have to take into account the second generation – eight million are people who have come from different origins in a very short period of time,” Meer said. “It is therefore extraordinarily difficult for them to adapt to our ways and customs.”
Meer also said that his party wants to deport those who want to “live off the work of others.” His party believes that men “who mistreat or demean women” and “unaccompanied minors” must be deported as it is an abuse of human rights. The people of Spain overwhelmingly agree that the borders must close.
There is not a single Western nation that has adopted a successful open border policy. Instead of addressing the problem, the government is employing new AI and data collection methods to detect any form of perceived hate or anti-migrant sentiment online. The Ministry of the Interior plans to subsidize NGOs, political weapons masked as non-profits, to ensure Spain’s destabilization through invasion.
Spain joined the European Union in 1986 after finally becoming a democracy. General Francisco Franco ruled Spain with a closed fist from 1939 to 1975. King Juan Carlos I assumed the throne in 1975 upon Cortes’ death and he helped to usher in a new government for the people of Spain with the passing of the Political Reform Act of 1976 that enabled a democratic system. By 1977, the people of Spain were granted the freedom to vote for the first time since 1936. Every safeguard of democracy shattered with Spain decided to join the European Union. The nation is now beholden to the will of Brussels, and its leaders blindly follow the orders of unelected bureaucrats. War, in addition to the domestic invasion, will cause rising civil unrest in which the people demand a new government system that REPRESENTS THE PEOPLE.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche flew to Tallahassee, Florida and interviewed former Epstein aide Ghislaine Maxwell for five hours.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department’s No. 2 official met Thursday with Ghislaine Maxwell, the imprisoned former girlfriend of financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The meeting in Florida, which Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said he worked to arrange, is part of an ongoing Justice Department effort to cast itself as transparent following fierce backlash from parts of President Donald Trump’s base over an earlier refusal to release additional records in the Epstein investigation.
“Ms. Maxwell answered every single question. She never stopped, she never invoked a privilege, she never declined to answer. She answered all the questions truthfully, honestly and to the best of her ability,” attorney David Oscar Markus told reporters outside the federal courthouse in Tallahassee, where Maxwell met with Blanche.
In a social media post Tuesday, Blanche said that Trump “has told us to release all credible evidence” and that if Maxwell has information about anyone who has committed crimes against victims, the FBI and the Justice Department “will hear what she has to say.” (read more)

~Understanding Silos 101~
Senator Lindsey Graham (Judiciary Committee) and Senator John Cornyn (SSCI) are requesting Attorney General Pam Bondi to appoint a special counsel to look into the Obama administration’s weaponization of the U.S. Intelligence Community to target Donald Trump with fabricated smears and false evidence using a fraudulent Russia connection.
This should be an immediate hard no for a few reasons. Number one, the special counsel process is where investigations go to die intentionally as a design of the legislative branch defense process. Second, the special counsel would not have cross-silo access to exfiltrate information unless it was accompanied by very specific Presidential authority. It just will not work.
The intelligence community information that exposes the plot will be found in very distinct ‘silos’, essentially the intelligence agencies that house the information. Additionally, inside each of the silos there is a formal and informal process to designate that information based on its internally defined national security value.
An example of silo retention can be found in the issue of the FBI housing information in “prohibited access” files. These files are not even discoverable by most internal search efforts.
Within the Sentinel system there are “Restricted Access” files that are used to control who can view the file information (sources and methods etc.). The FBI or investigative official (think authorized special counsel) can see the file but cannot access the information within it without a higher clearance level. In these files the Special Counsel can request access and then review. However, recently people discovered there are “Prohibited Access” files that makes the file invisible to both outside and inside searches or queries and are exclusively controlled by the FBI Director and FBI Deputy Director.
This is an example of a sub-silo (secret file keeping) within a distinct silo (FBI, Sentinel system). A special counsel would never discover the “prohibited” files, because there’s no way from outside the system to find it.
It’s a little complicated but DNI Tulsi Gabbard has been finding, declassifying and releasing these ‘prohibited access’ types of information, because as Director of National Intelligence -her clearance and position- allow her to gain full administrative level access to the entire metadata of IC information.
Tulsi can essentially log into all of the 18 intelligence agencies and review everything in the data storage system. A special counsel, regardless of authority, cannot do this. President Trump can demand full administrative access for himself and so can DNI Tulsi Gabbard. The rest of the silo administrators can only see the information inside their silo.
This limited access issue is how the intelligence agencies hide information. They rely on the inability of external reviewers to see the full scope and then cross reference to all other silos using the same terminology, data points and search sequences.
EXAMPLE – Making up an operational name like “Zero Footprint“, when DNI Tulsi Gabbard is looking at that operation, she can see the full scope of information related to Zero Footprint as the information goes from the White House (finding memo) to the CIA, to the State Dept, to the Pentagon, to the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), possibly to the Joint Chiefs and then beyond to international partners (whole or part information shared). DNI Gabbard can see the entire continuum, cross reference each step in the process, see who handled the organization, communication, logistics, assignments and track each process, which enables her to map the inputs and outcomes along with the timeline. She can even see the briefings (or lack therein) to the Gang of Eight or PDB as they are recorded.
A special counsel has nowhere near this capacity.
In the example above, the research required to find, extract, cross-reference, organize and then assemble the totality of all information related to such a large intelligence operation (fyi, Zero Footprint was real), takes a lot of time and effort. Tulsi Gabbard is able to designate very specific aides to assist in this process, but the demand on her time is extreme even with help.
DNI Gabbard recently told Fox News (video below) she was/is using AI as a tool to do autonomous spider crawls through the various silos looking for information that pertained to specific points, phrases, times, dates and people within the 18-agency silo system. Hundreds of thousands of “return positive” files must then be sifted and reviewed for connection to the participants, and again timelines become the key. This is a big shift in the use of AI data search engine capability within the national security information space; however, it is exactly what I have been talking about for the past several years as I traveled back and forth to DC.
Now, keep in mind what I am describing above is “non-public” information. If you want to really understand the insanity of how the silos operate, you need to accept the same filing and hiding system exists even within public information. The congressional staff don’t even know what the other congressional staff are doing with information from within two different committees, like the Senate Judiciary Committee (FISC oversight) and the Senate Homeland Security Committee (DOJ-NSD), or Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (FBI – Cointel).
In essence, there is little to no information sharing within the silo process, even within the guys on the “same team,” and making matters worse sometimes a research team can gain information that is much more pertinent to the other guys looking at similar issues from within another silo. Discovering this is beyond frustrating; however, it does explain how independent researchers who share on open-source crowd sharing platforms can walk down a research trail much faster.
Bottom line, a Special Counsel is an exercise in futility, unless that special counsel has the same review and extraction capability as President Trump and/or DNI Tulsi Gabbard.
The best option is a team of investigators within Tulsi Gabbard’s office to continue the digging and connecting the information; then share the discoveries with DOJ officials. Previously, I said a small group within the National Security Council might also be able to deliver a similar outcome.
Lastly, a tip-line allowing the private sector crowdsourcing to push puzzle pieces toward the research team might also be a big help.
