Until she ends up 'ending herself', of course. Just like her boyfriend.
Oh no. Ohhhh no.
It's simply what consequences are dished out for.
This is mob rule government. If you are part of the 'gang', and are loyal to the gang, you can get away with murder. Or raping children.
Everyone else is under the bootheel though.
A frightening number of sex offenders get work release. About half the work release guys I work with are sex offenders. The other half are drug convictions.
The drug conviction guys are generally happy to tell you what they got sent to prison for, sometimes with some mild embarrassment or remorse. A worrying number of the sex offenders will tell you inadvertantly when they're bitching about the people they victimized making obtaining parole difficult. No remorse at all.
Consequences? Accountability? For the rich?
Surely you jest.
Everyone? Ha ha, no! Democrats and the poors will be persecuted more than ever.
Work release, huh? Is she going back to the field of work she was in prior to jail?
Trump is looking forward to the bring your child to work day.
Trafficking kids to Trump
The headline is "Trump to host pedo party at White House"
Place your bets: will we see it in nottheonion or theonion first?

Trump needs a good underage masseuse that looks like his daughter when she was 15.
Ivanka's daughter just turned 14.
Or it’s to get her away from cameras before they murder her

I really don't think that Trump giving a human trafficker special treatment to say that he isn't a pedophile is gonna play out as well with his base as he thinks it will.
I think you are vastly overestimating his base. They are looking for convenient excuses not logic or evidence. As long as there is a convenient excuse to trot out, Trump is still God Incarnate and the delusions continue. Someone looking for the truth won't be swayed by the obviously bribed testimony of someone who has repeatedly lied under oath, but these people aren't looking for the truth- they already have it in whatever Trump is saying that day. They just need something to point to and say "See? She says he wasn't involved so he wasn't involved! You liberals are just making things up to hurt Trump again!" This is a world where evidence isn't what matters, it's quips. As long as there's a quip to shut down any disagreement the fantasy that Trump is a saintly hero of democracy can continue.

They won't care. They have no morals or hard lines. They'll support whatever dear leader tells them to. There will be a few days of fake outrage, and then they will stop caring.

Trump allowing CHILD SEX TRAFFICKER GHISLAINE MAXWELL to go out on Work Release is PROOF that Trump is doing EVERYTHING he can to Bring Child Rapists to Justice!
What world do we live in?
To recap, Trump and Epstein were friends while Epstein was selling child sex to rich people. Trump is implicated in a plethora of ways, including that creepy ass birthday card and Epstein having Trump's name circled in his little black book, alongside everyone else who has been confirmed to have involvement in the sex ring.
Meanwhile, Trump is hosting teen beauty pageants in Russia where he peeped on underage girls changing and later bragged about it. And of course, we know Trump started to sour on Epstein when Epstein "stole" an underage masseuse from Mar a Lago to turn her into a prostitute. And Trump knew this but was more upset about the stealing part than the underage prostitution part.
And Epstein soured on Trump when he told Trump he was buying a mansion in Florida and Trump outbid him using money provided by a Russian oligarch for... reasons. And Epstein threatens to out Trump for his Russia connection, so Trump then drops the dime on Epstein and gets him arrested for soliciting prostitution from a minor. But Epstein "somehow" gets a sweetheart deal where he only serves 13 months in jail and is allowed out during the day on... what was that phrase? Oh yeah.
Work release.
Good thing Epstein got that deal from... Alex Acosta? Why does that name seem familiar? Oh yeah, because when Trump became president, he randomly appointed Alex Acosta to be Labor Secretary, for... reasons.
Similar to how after Trump sent Pam Bondi's re-election campaign for Florida attorney general $25,000 just randomly right around the time her office decided not to investigate Trump University for fraud. And now, Trump has appointed Pam Bondi as attorney general of the United States because... I'm sure there must be a good reason.
And now of course, after Ghislaine Maxwell met with Trump's deputy attorney general Todd Blanche, she's moved to low security, and she's going to be allowed out on... huh. Work release. Well, isn't that an odd turn of events?
How does the general public so severely lack the critical thinking skills to put this together? For the record, that question is rhetorical. I know the answer. I'm just sad about it.

Let's all guess which non-extradition treaty country she'll be allowed to escape to.
Israel then. Like father like daughter.
She's been bought.
A pardon would be too obvious, and would take her off the leash. Much safer to transfer her to a cushy Club Fed prison and give her work release. That way, if she steps out of line she has a lot to lose.

She's guarding the restroom at the Buffalo wild wings to have people confirm their gender.
lol so fucking obvious they made a deal with her so she wouldn't talk.
That might be the best case scenario right now lol. I suspect they might even be using her to threaten people by adding names to her confession.
So, as punishment for her crimes of taking part in the act of and enabling the monetary gains to rich elites from the rape, sex trafficking, and kidnapping of literal children they gave her a promotion. Let’s see how round three turns out, folks, better hide your daughters! Really, though, hide your daughters.
Fuck this country. Somebody shoot that piece of shit in the face. I don’t have a gun or the means to get to her, but someone has to be within at least brickin’ distance. If that’s you, all I’m asking is to pick up a rock and at least think about it.

Disgusting why are we not storming the capital it’s perfectly legal to do so and to allow sex trafficking and Pedophile behavior. This is a disgusting reflection on entire human race and I’m sick of these bastards.
They probably reckon it's less suspicious to have her assassinated in public after the first one

What work does she do worth releasing her from prison? Sourcing unfortunate children for old pedophiles?
C'mon man. She's gonna be sourcing unfortunate children for the POTUS. It's a federal thing.
She won’t do any work. She’ll just be released.
Exactly, what work? Her job was running the pedophile ring. Wait a minute...

Work release for a sub-human pedophile ring leader? The USA is one sick fucked up country.
Did Trump just free his favorite pimp to start bringing him some children? Hide yo kids.
Despite all his bloviating about militarizing Washington DC being anti crime. He repeatedly shows himself up to be quite the opposite. Rhetoric is cheap actions are where the rubber meets road.
Where's she working? I'm sure there are people who would love to know.
Hello from New Zealand. Don't get any ideas about moving in with Neil Gaiman on Waiheke.
Stay away from any window in a building with more than 1 floor.
