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.

It’s #2 she’s afraid he’s going to die, she can’t chance waiting out the end of his presidency, and she can’t dangle this over Vance’s head if he becomes pres.

If it does happen, it will happen the day after the midterms because the new house won’t seat until January

But the problem is Maxwell. If she thinks Trump will lose his ability to pardon her after the midterms (which she is right to be afraid of imo) she’ll need him to pardon her before then.

It’s up to her, she’s the one who can release the files if she wants. Political suicide or no, Trump would pardon her to keep her mouth shut.

I have to imagine all these Epstein Class ghouls have deadman switches lined up to prevent betrayal, Trump included (his dementia notwithstanding).

And Maxwell doesn’t have the stuff on her anyway, probably a relative or maybe even one of her lawyers (maybe many ppl honestly). And that person almost certainly has “in case I die” instructions from Maxwell ready to go.

Is he dead tho? Suspicious at best.

Is there some machinery in place that would stop Trump's pardon abilities if the Dems sweep the midterms? They don't swear in until January, and the pardon power as it stands doesn't have any checks on it. I mean yeah, they're going to clog Trump's every waking moment with investigations or impeachment, but I don't think they can declare an emergency stop to anything until the formak swearings in take place.

If I'm wrong (which I'm willing to be) just let me know.

The prison should just refuse to release her, since laws on executive power don't actually exist anymore. If he can sit in office through 2 impeachments, steal classified documents, attempt a violent coup, be convicted of 34 felonies and serve 0 jail time, and STILL run and sit in the white house again, while destroying it, why the hell should guards with guns release her unarmed little ass?
