Andrew Weissmann: Just Release the Damn Epstein Files

she gave a quote unquote interview to the Deputy Attorney General that was, I mean, it's hard to even call it an interview, and then was rewarded by getting moved to a camp is a complete affront to victims.

What can happen?

The Bulwark Podcast
Andrew Weissmann: Just Release the Damn Epstein Files

You know what?

The Bulwark Podcast
Andrew Weissmann: Just Release the Damn Epstein Files

She has said that if she's called to Congress, she's going to assert the Fifth Amendment and she's not going to testify in spite of giving two days of answers to the deputy attorney general because, you know, the deputy attorney general can help her get a pardon, which is obviously her end goal.

The Congress can actually deal with her saying, oh, I'm not going to testify based on the Fifth Amendment.

The Bulwark Podcast
Andrew Weissmann: Just Release the Damn Epstein Files

They can immunize her.

And that will force her to testify.

So if you immunize somebody, that takes away their Fifth Amendment.

And in exchange, their words cannot be used against them to prosecute them, other than if they were to lie or obstruct Congress.

The Bulwark Podcast
Andrew Weissmann: Just Release the Damn Epstein Files

She's going to serve 20 years.

If you immunize her, she's still- I mean, I think she deserves more, but okay, sure.

The Bulwark Podcast

But I mean, that's a judge decided should be 20.

The Bulwark Podcast
Andrew Weissmann: Just Release the Damn Epstein Files

Great.

You know, Judge Miller thinks that it should have been more.

Andrew Weissmann: Just Release the Damn Epstein Files

But Ali Nathan, very good judge in the Southern District, now Second Circuit judge, said 20 years.

The Bulwark Podcast

That is what she's going to do absent the president giving her some kind of pardon or commutation.

And so they could immunize her and force her to testify before Congress.

And then if she lies, she could be prosecuted.
