NEW: Epstein victims react to release of Ghislaine Maxwell transcripts

Legal & Ethical Concerns - A pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell would undermine the justice sought by victims and survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's crimes [1] - Maxwell's testimony is considered unreliable due to her conviction for sex trafficking and prior perjury charges [1][6] - The release of Maxwell's interview transcripts is viewed as potentially one-sided, lacking the accounts of victims [8][9] Political & Strategic Implications - The release of Maxwell's transcripts is perceived by some as a PR stunt by the Department of Justice, similar to the "Bar letter" during the Mueller investigation [11][12] - The transcripts may be an attempt to satisfy demands for more information on the Epstein case, though a full "data dump" is likely needed to quell interest [10] - There is skepticism that anyone outside the White House is satisfied with the release of these transcripts [10] Maxwell's Testimony Analysis - Maxwell's testimony is described as rambling, defensive, and evasive, with attempts to rebut other testimonies [4] - She claims to have never seen anyone with underage women and denies any inappropriate involvement with Epstein's activities [3] - Maxwell's credibility is questioned due to proven lies about her prison conditions, making her entire testimony suspect [6][7]
