If President Biden offered a deal to Ghislaine Maxwell to move her into a comfortable, minimum security prison for doing an interview with his DOJ, in which she says she witnessed Donald Trump participating with Jeffrey Epstein in sex with underage girls, what would Fox News, the MAGA cult, and the entire media be saying?
MSNBC Host Rachel Maddow first explained why criminals cannot profit from their crimes and used the Son of Sam laws as a jumping off point and then laid out the details pertaining to the profit Maxwell gained from Trump’s DOJ.
MADDOW: The bottom line is, the uncontroversial bottom line, is that if you are convicted in conjunction with a notorious crime, you should not be allowed to obtain personal benefit from telling stories about those crimes.
And sometimes that is a legal stricture, like with the New York Son of Sam laws and all its successors. But sometimes it’s just a principle that I think Americans instinctively get.
If you participated in a horrible crime, you will never be rewarded for telling tales about that crime. I think basically every American would agree with that.
So imagine that there’s some terribly notorious criminal case, something that’s like the worst of the worst, something related to like child sex abuse. And there is a person convicted in connection with that crime and they are in prison because of it.
