For years, Americans have suspected that our justice system has been weaponized against political opponents. (And boy, were we right.) We’ve watched as prosecutors seemed to pursue certain targets with unusual vigor while letting others walk free. Now, explosive new testimony from inside a Manhattan jail cell confirms our worst fears about how far some prosecutors were willing to go to take down a sitting president.
When Jeffrey Epstein was arrested in 2019 on child trafficking charges, the nation demanded justice. But according to his former cellmate’s sworn testimony, what happened behind closed doors wasn’t about justice at all—it was about cutting a devil’s bargain that would let a monster walk free if he’d just say the right words about the wrong man.
From ‘The Post Millennial’:
In a pardon application obtained by the New York Post, Tartaglione wrote, “Prosecutors … told Epstein that if he said President Trump was involved with Epstein’s crimes he would walk free.” Epstein told me that [lead prosecutor] Maurene Comey said that he didn’t have to prove anything, as long as President Trump’s people could not disprove it. According to Maurene Comey, the FBI were ‘her people, not his [President Trump’s].’ Tartaglione added in his petition that Epstein told him “President Trump was not involved in Epstein’s crimes.”
The prosecutor making this brazen proposition wasn’t just any federal attorney—it was Maurene Comey, daughter of former FBI Director James Comey. Yes, that James Comey. The one who led the Russia investigation. The one whose family seems to have made targeting Trump their personal crusade. This wasn’t just prosecutorial misconduct; this was a family vendetta dressed up as justice.
Nicholas Tartaglione, a former police officer who shared a cell with Epstein at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, has made these claims in an official pardon application. According to Tartaglione, Epstein was crystal clear about one crucial fact: President Trump had zero involvement in his crimes. Yet prosecutors were willing to let a child trafficker walk if he’d just lie about it.
The Weaponized Prosecution
The most grotesque detail of Comey’s alleged offer was her statement that Epstein “didn’t have to prove anything.” Stop and consider what that means. A federal prosecutor, sworn to uphold justice, telling a criminal he could make baseless accusations without evidence—as long as Trump’s team couldn’t definitively disprove them. This isn’t how American justice works. Or at least, it’s not supposed to.
Even more disturbing was Comey’s alleged boast that the FBI were “her people, not his [President Trump’s].” There it is, people. The quiet part out loud. This admission reveals what conservatives have long suspected: the deep state viewed itself as independent of, and actively opposed to, the duly elected president. They weren’t serving justice or the American people—they were serving their own political vendetta.
Trump’s Vindication
Despite the pressure and the devil’s bargain dangled before him, Epstein apparently confirmed what Trump’s supporters have always known: the president had nothing to do with Epstein’s crimes. This testimony from Trump’s greatest potential accuser is perhaps the strongest vindication imaginable. Even when offered his freedom, Epstein wouldn’t lie about Trump’s innocence.
The irony here is delicious. The very man they hoped would be Trump’s downfall ended up confirming his innocence.
The Reckoning Begins
Fast forward to July 2025, and accountability finally shows its face. Maurene Comey was fired from her position at the Justice Department, just days after officials concluded their investigation found no evidence of an Epstein client list or blackmail operation. The timing? No coincidence. The corrupt machinery the Comeys built to target Trump is finally grinding to a halt.
But this revelation’s implications stretch far beyond one case or one president. If prosecutors were willing to let a child trafficker walk free just to damage Trump politically, what other deals have been cut? What other criminals have gotten passes in exchange for political cooperation? How deep does this rot go?
This isn’t just about Trump anymore—it’s about whether we have a justice system or a political hit squad. It’s about whether Lady Justice is truly blind or peeking under her blindfold to check voter registration cards. Are you angry yet? You should be. The American people deserve answers, and more importantly, they deserve consequences. Congress must investigate not just this case, but the entire pattern of prosecutorial abuse that has infected our federal law enforcement agencies. Our republic literally depends on it.
