Althouse: "The deference and servility to [Ghislaine] Maxwell have reached such preposterous levels that one of the top officials at the facility has complained that he is 'sick of having to be Maxwell’s bitch.'"

November 10, 2025

"The deference and servility to [Ghislaine] Maxwell have reached such preposterous levels that one of the top officials at the facility has complained that he is 'sick of having to be Maxwell’s bitch.'"

Says a letter to Trump from Jamie Raskin, the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, quoted in "Democrats reveal whistleblower details of Ghislaine Maxwell prison 'luxuries'/In a letter to the president, House Democrats say Maxwell’s treatment as she prepares a clemency request makes the convicted sex offender look like a 'guest at a Trump hotel'" (MSNBC).

What are these luxuries? We're told there are "customized meals personally delivered to her cell, after-hours time in a private exercise area and access to a service puppy.... private meetings with visitors arranged by the warden, complete with snacks...."

AKA protective custody

access to a service puppy

The only kernel of deference (although also available to every inmate at this facility) slipped between hyperbole to bolster the hyperbole.; 11/10/25, 10:26 AM

Derp. Other than the photos, the flight manifests, Trump's own words about how he admires how Epstein "likes 'em young." Other than that. It's all made up. Derp.

There is far more evidence that Trump is a pedo than there is that Hunter Biden is a pedo.; 11/10/25, 11:10 AM

Quaestor said...: ...customized meals personally delivered to her cell

Personally? WTF does that mean? Nothing, it's just rhetoric tailored to Kak and similar herd-minded simpletons. As for the rest, our maximum security lockups are well-stocked with Muslim terrorists who are routinely fed customized meals in their cells, delivered personally by GS-5 correctional officers who earn considerably more in salary and benefits than your average Door-Dash drudge, an arrangement Jamie Raskin has not wasted his bulk-rate breath on.; 11/10/25, 12:54 PM

Jupiter said...: "The deference and servility to Maxwell ...".
Perhaps a similar degree of deference and servility could be arranged for John Brennan, Jake Clapper, Chris Wray, James Comey, Peter Strzok -- oh, the list is long, but I think there's enough deference and servility to go around. Maybe we could even provide a little fawning solicitousness for Jamie Raskin himself.; 11/10/25, 1:21 PM

A 'policy' that specifies generalities? Really? The Federal Bureau of Prisons has not 'explained'...? Because MSNBC has demanded to know 'why'?

The only time he was ever on Epstein's plane was when his wife was there and Epstein was not. He never went to Epstein's island. You must be thinking of the likes of Dem president Bill Clinton, Dem senators Bill Richardson and George Mitchell, and Dem mega-donor Reid Hoffman.; 11/10/25, 3:07 PM
William said...: People like P. Diddy, Harvey Weinstein and Maxwell spent their whole lives negotiating cushy deals for themselves. It would be astounding if they didn't use that talent to find a sweet spot for themselves in prison.....The Democrats were in charge of the Justice Dept for four years. How did they miss this. Everyone knows the evidence is right there in plain sight in the Epstein files. They indicted Trump for crimes that lawyers have trouble puzzling out. Why didn't they indict Trump for raping all those children and disposing of the bodies at the alligator farm at Mar A Lago. That's far more nefarious than overvaluing real estate properties.; 11/10/25, 3:13 PM
john mosby said...: Most of the 'privileges' given Ghislaine could also reasonably be described as arrangements made by the management to minimize the disruption of having such a high-profile prisoner, in an institution full of people (on both sides of the bars) being actively recruited by media organizations for tidbits of info on her. And also "defensive medicine" against a person who still probably has unlimited resources to sue the government.

Expediting her visitors? Cuts down on exposure time. Exercising alone? Same thing. Customized food, whatever that is? Saves thousands of manhours and millions of dollars in lawsuit defense. Puppy? Every puppy-hour is a Ghislaine-hour not being spent on some mischief. Etc. CC, JSM; 11/10/25, 3:38 PM

Maxwell is a sex offender. Nevermind the "special treatment" IN prison. She's not supposed to be there...
Ghislaine Maxwell might be a rich connected woman, but she is also a convicted sex offender and in America, the law applies to her too. Let Congress investigate here and send her back to ... sex offender prison where she DESERVES to be. Either the law matters, or it doesn't, professor ann.; 11/10/25, 4:11 PM
JAORE said...: Gee TeaBagHag, it's a good thing you're a nobody both in money and influence. Trump pulled $16 million out of ABC's pie hole for falsely stating Trump was convicted of rape. Imagine if you had wealth worth taking. The trial for defamation would be a slam dunk.; 11/10/25, 4:14 PM
D.D. Driver said...: The only time he was ever on Epstein's plane was when his wife was there and Epstein was not. He never went to Epstein's island.

Derp.

He never went to the Island, but everything else is bullshit. He rode on the plane with Epstein without his wife on six of his eight flights.

Also, the "Island" was not the only place where Epstein and pals fucked kids. It's disingenuous to suggest Trump isn't dirty just because he never went to the Island. Look how many fucking flights he took! They were thick as thieves.

The most interest flight took place on May 15, 1994. Trump rode up to DC with Mark Middleton. Another former Clinton aide (and Epstein's connection to the Clinton WH) who "committed suicide" by hanging himself from a tree and shooting himself with a shotgun! 😉

What do you think Donnie and Mark Middleton talked about? Draining to swamp, I bet.; 11/10/25, 4:34 PM
