Ghislaine Talked. The DOJ Is Hiding It. We Must Stay Loud.
You Don’t Beat Corruption with Calm. You Beat It with Relentless, Righteous Pressure
The Jack Hopkins Now Newletter #454: Monday, July 28th, 2025 1:14 pm CST
Let me make one thing clear up front…if you’re tired…if you’re frustrated…if you feel like screaming into the void... good.
Because you damn well should be.
This isn’t the moment to retreat into cynicism. This is the moment to dig in your heels and refuse to let go of the America they’re trying to rip out from under us.
What’s unfolding right now…with Ghislaine Maxwell, with the DOJ, and with the rotting stench of Trumpworld circling her prison cell…isn’t some isolated legal side story. It’s the whole damn playbook cracking open in broad daylight.
And it’s telling us…screaming at us…that we’re not just in a political fight.
We’re in a full-blown moral war for the soul of this country.
Maxwell, Epstein, and the Fear of What’s Still Hidden
Let’s start with what just happened.
Ghislaine Maxwell…the convicted sex trafficker and longtime Epstein accomplice…is in federal prison right now. Twenty-year sentence. No parole. That alone should’ve been the end of her chapter.
But that’s not how this story goes.
Because just days ago, she was interviewed…behind closed doors…for nearly two days straight…by a team of Department of Justice officials led by none other than Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.
And she talked.
For almost two days.
About almost 100 people.
And according to reports, she didn’t invoke privilege once.
Let that sink in.
A woman at the center of one of the most depraved criminal conspiracies in modern U.S. history sat with DOJ leadership and told them everything she knew…about everyone she knew.
She gave them names.
She gave them stories.
And she gave them leverage.
Now ask yourself: why?
The Pardon That Shouldn’t Happen…but Just Might
Here’s where it gets radioactive.
Maxwell’s cooperation didn’t come out of the kindness of her blackened heart.
It came because she wants something.
And what she wants isn’t parole. It isn’t time served. It’s not even just a reduced sentence.
She wants a presidential pardon.
And the only person in position to give it to her is the same man whose name has already danced around the edges of Epstein’s black book more times than we can count:
Donald Trump.
Now, Trump has gone on record saying he hasn’t been asked to pardon Maxwell, and that it would be “inappropriate to comment further.”
In other words: he left the door open.
And in Trumpworld…that’s not just a maybe. That’s a coded message.
It’s a whisper to Maxwell and everyone orbiting her:
“Stay quiet. Stay loyal. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll take care of you.”
You know who else Trump called “wonderful” while the justice system tried to bring her down?
Ghislaine Maxwell.
You know what he did when asked if he thought she’d talk?
He smirked.
The Psychology of the Pardon Game
Understand this:
A pardon in this case wouldn’t just be controversial.
It would be strategic corruption in its purest form.
Because if Maxwell has kompromat…real..dangerous information on people with power…wealth…and connections…then Trump has every incentive to keep her quiet.
Not out of loyalty.
Out of self-preservation.
This is a man who doesn’t flinch at throwing democracy under the bus if it buys him 24 hours of breathing room. You think he won’t sign a pardon if it protects himself from criminal exposure?
Ask Roger Stone. Ask Paul Manafort. Ask Mike Flynn.
Hell, ask Steve Bannon…he got two passes.
The Danger Isn’t Just the Pardon… It’s the Precedent
And Trump Doesn’t Have to Wait…He Could Do It NOW
This isn’t a “what if.” This isn’t a hypothetical.
Donald Trump is already back in power.
And that means if he wants to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell…he can do it right now.
No delays. No red tape. No oversight.
Just the flick of a pen from the most compromised “president” this country’s ever seen.
And if he does?
It won’t just be disgusting. It will be devastatingly strategic.
It would send a message to every criminal conspirator…every elite predator…every power-hungry pervert still hiding behind the Epstein firewall:
“Stay quiet. We protect our own.”
It would tell the country that justice is no longer blind…it’s owned.
It would cement the idea that loyalty to a wannabe king outranks the law of the land.
That’s the threat we’re facing.
Not someday. Not if. Not maybe.
Now.
And if that doesn’t keep you angry…engaged…and dead-set on making noise every damn day…then check your pulse.
Because your democracy is in cardiac arrest. And silence is the flatline.
The GOP Knows What This Means…and They’re Terrified
Even some Republicans are rattled.
Speaker Mike Johnson publicly stated he’d have “great pause” about any attempt to pardon Maxwell. Why? Because he sees what the rest of us do:
A pardon would be political suicide…not just for Trump, but for the entire rotten pyramid built around him.
It would confirm every fear people have about corruption…favoritism…and protection for predators in high places.
But here's the kicker:
That doesn’t mean they won’t do it.
Because the Trump machine doesn’t care about optics anymore. It doesn’t care about press blowback or voter disgust.
It cares about raw…unaccountable power.
And the only way to stop it?
Expose it. Relentlessly. Loudly. Publicly. Constantly.
The DOJ…the Documents…and the Black Hole of Truth
Meanwhile, the Department of Justice has stated…flatly…that there is no Epstein “client list.”
They’re technically right.
But functionally, they’re lying.
There may not be a single spreadsheet with “clients” in column A and “sex crimes” in column B.
But the logs…names…photos…receipts…sworn statements…and private jets full of secrets? They exist.
And the more the public demands answers…the more the DOJ and federal judiciary tie themselves into knots trying to keep it under wraps.
You think democracy lovers should be calm about that?
Hell no.
We should be lighting up every phone line…every newsroom…every hearing with one unrelenting demand:
“WHO WAS INVOLVED—AND WHO IS STILL PROTECTED?”
What We Must Do Right Now
This isn’t a newsletter post. It’s a request for you to dig in even harder.
If you’re reading this…you’re part of a growing network of Americans who still believe in truth…accountability…and actual f***ing justice.
So here’s what I need from you:
Stay loud – Share this. Say this. Post the receipts. Make sure the world sees it.
Stay pissed – Don’t let the media gaslight you into thinking this is old news. It’s happening now.
Stay present – Don’t check out. The people who want to bury the truth are counting on your silence.
Keep asking – Where are the files? Where are the names? What did Maxwell say in that room for 14 hours?
Because here’s the truth:
The people who are trying to take this country down?
They are relentless.
And if we want to beat them…we have to be more relentless.
Final Thought: Rage Is Not the Problem…Silence Is
They want you numb.
They want you passive.
They want you muttering “what’s the point?” while they rewrite the rules.
But not here. Not now.
Every time you stay pissed…every time you take action…every time you remind them that this country still belongs to the people…you push them back a little further.
So stay angry. Stay sharp. Stay loud.
Because this isn’t about one case…or one woman…or one pardon.
It’s about whether or not America means anything anymore.
And the second we stop fighting for that?
We lose it.

Thanks Jack! Preaching to this particular choir member here. Do not worry a second that I will lose any anger--rage--over this latest depravity. I fully would expect a pardon to happen. But I honestly do wonder how long many of these rotten people can continue their scheming without seepage at the seams of the cesspool. I also continue to keep in mind the multiple other sources of media I follow who are daily fighting against this regime; it gives me hope, inspiration, and an appreciation for the widespread allocation of voices attacking this abhorrent collection of despicable characters.
I would love to know what she said in that room for all those hours. Will we ever find out?
Never forget! Never give in! Never give up!
