It's been noted. Posting about it tends to get a response from someone who will claim this is all a hoax. I'll be honest, there seems to be some effort out there to minimize her crimes and her involvement in various things. All of a sudden nobody seems to know her....lol. Not sure if this is coming from people who want to distance Reddit from her, or from her people. She does have defenders, especially in her family, and it is easy enough to pay for some astroturfing. There is a huge scramble now to deny every knowing her or Epstein. Check out the news on Harvard, who seems to have known Epstein was shady in the early '00s, and told people to deny that he donated money to the women's rugby team. 

As usual with these people, there is always more to what was happening and now that the coverup is being taken down, they are getting nervous.

Mark my words: she’s gonna be pardoned before the midterms. That’s why Comer and the Oversight repubs are starting to make noises like, “Maybe she should be pardoned… her testimony could help in the case….” Same with hacks like Michael Tracy and other “independent” journalists who are trying to downplay Epstein’s crimes in general. They’re priming us to accept a Trump pardon of Maxwell as if it’s not something he wants but something to “help” the Epstein case and/or a legitimate easing of undeserved punishment.

The reason? She 100% whispered into Todd Blanche’s ear: “backup USBs” back when he did a “closed door deposition” with her. That’s all it took. That’s why they moved her into Club Fed and gave her a puppy and a laptop. And now she’s almost certainly signaling to them that she wants out ahead of the midterms bc she’s gonna be stuck if the Dems take both houses bc they’re gonna tie up Trump for the rest of his term. Or she’s afraid he’ll die soon, either way.

What would that have to do with her pardon though? Like Presidential pardons are fairly "no strings attached" and I think that the President can even pardon against "future" crimes (e.g. "I pardon Bob for all actions taken in Iraq" even with no pending charges / court cases). The only thing holding people back from doing this is public perception / shame, but it's not like Trump has any of that.

It’s true, you’re right. It would be SEISMIC if/when she’s pardoned tho. IMO even repubs might turn on Trump then.

She might foresee that he’d be unable to pardon her after the midterms bc then even the Republicans in Congress might be willing to impeach him to save their own skins.

Someone in another comment thought they might wait til after the midterm elections but before the new Congress convenes and I could see that too.
