Episode: 🚨Ghislaine’s Secret Plan with Trump Caught By Meidas!!!

Date: February 22, 2026
Hosts: Ben Meiselas, Brett Meiselas, Jordy Meiselas

Episode Overview

This episode centers on an explosive analysis of Ghislaine Maxwell’s recent legal maneuvers and her alleged covert coordination with Donald Trump’s circle to secure clemency. Ben Meiselas delivers a detailed and impassioned breakdown of Maxwell’s legal filings, her strategic effort to delay proceedings, and the shadowy connections with Trump’s former and current legal team, all set against the backdrop of the newly mandated release of Epstein-related documents.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Ghislaine Maxwell's Legal Filings and Delay Tactics

• Maxwell has filed a motion to block the release of 90,000 previously undisclosed documents in the 2015 Giuffre defamation case, using the Epstein Transparency Act as a pivotal point of contention.
• She claims to be representing herself (“pro per”) in her habeas corpus petition before Judge Engelmayer in SDNY, arguing her lack of access to both legal counsel and millions of new documents (04:20).
• Meanwhile, she is represented by high-priced, top-tier attorneys in other proceedings:
  • David Oscar Markus (noted for his connections to Trump’s lawyer Todd Blanche) during the House Oversight Committee deposition.
  • Laura M. and Jeffrey Pagliucia of Haddon Morgan and Foreman PC in Colorado are representing her in civil matters.
• Maxwell's claims of poverty and inability to retain counsel are intensely scrutinized, with Ben Meiselas asserting:

  "She’s playing poverty... because the fix is in." (08:10)

2. Alleged Trump Coordination and Clemency Plan

• Ben voices suspicion that Maxwell’s maneuvers are coordinated with members of Trump’s team, especially now that Todd Blanche, formerly Trump’s defense lawyer, holds a high position at the Department of Justice.
• The delay strategy is interpreted as a means to invoke Fifth Amendment protections and stall until Trump (currently running or in office, depending on the timeline) can issue a pardon or commutation.

  "She’s going to try to drag this out as long as possible... for Donald Trump to grant her clemency." (09:50)

• Ben highlights the suspicious overlap between legal representation in various matters and the orchestration of delays to benefit the clemency timeline.

3. The Substance and Stakes of the 90,000 Documents

• Maxwell argues these documents, which include multiple depositions and sensitive materials from the civil case, should remain sealed and not be released under the new transparency law (15:40).
• These documents may contain direct accusations against Trump (including two specific allegations of sexual assault from FBI slides), as well as potentially broader evidence of involvement of other high-profile individuals (18:35).
• Maxwell and her lawyers frame the 2015 civil protective order, grand jury rules (Rule 6(e)), and the new law’s requirements in an attempt to block the release.

4. Maxwell’s Current Claims Versus the Official Record

• Maxwell’s arguments hinge on the newly public “Epstein files”. She claims they exonerate her by asserting:
  • Several accusers were not minors during alleged abuse.
  • Photographs were “fabricated” or taken out of context.
  • Non-prosecution agreements should have shielded her from current charges.

  "She’s saying the survivors were not actually minors… this pedo is a sicko." — Ben Meiselas (13:57)

5. Systemic Implications and the Broader Legal/Ethical Context

• Ben repeatedly questions who is funding Maxwell’s legal team, suspecting dark money or hidden assets, and slams the Department of Justice for not acting more aggressively.
• The hosts argue the public deserves access to the concealed documents, especially given the high-profile parties possibly implicated.
• Ben closes by contextualizing the episode as part of a broader pattern of obstruction and corruption tied to Trump’s circle.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Maxwell's double standards:

  “She’s represented by top lawyers… but then why is she representing herself if she can apparently afford or finagle a way to get all of these lawyers representing her?” — Ben Meiselas (07:45)

• On the delay strategy:

  “She’s going to have to keep invoking her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination while I have this habeas petition that’s pending... [to] delay this towards the end of Donald Trump’s term...” — Ben Meiselas (09:40)

• On what’s at stake:

  “What are you hiding? What the hell is in these depositions that should absolutely be produced?” — Ben Meiselas (21:55)

• On the broader implications:

  “I wanted to go through the complexities of what's taking place here and why I believe Trump and Blanche and Bondi’s fingerprints are all over this plan. To me, the red flags are there.” — Ben Meiselas (22:30)
