He says Trump then apparently authorized her overnight transfer to a prison camp where no sex offender had been sent before, while other inmates wait six months to two years after proving a compelling reason.

That's when Todd Blanche went to see her, not to ask about more co -conspirators, not to investigate whether other crimes had been committed. No, he was trying to find out exactly what she might say about Donald Trump when she came to Congress and satisfied with her answers, President Trump, the great champion of law and order, apparently authorized and approved her transfer to a prison camp where no sex offender had ever been sent before because they're not allowed. Because sex offenders like Glaine Maxwell are considered violent offenders. But that wasn't it. It wasn't just enough that she got to cut the line and get there in one or two days when people were waiting six months, eight months, two years to transfer after proving they have a compelling reason to do so. No, she was transferred overnight. She gets there. and then she gets the superstar Trump Hotel treatment.
