Well, but even in the current government, there are people who aren't MAGA people in congress, who get to ask her questions and bring up discrepancies between what she said before and what she's saying now. And she has to think on her feet for those questions, and the stakes are pretty fuckin' high. And the whole base is fired up with pedo-fury, and it's pretty hard for her to paint herself out of that spotlight no matter what she says... if she's transparently lying (which is what they want her to do), then all of a sudden she's in the crosshairs of both the justice system and the vigilante MAGA-mob, and she really can't change her story later anymore because now she said it all on TV instead of just within a closed system. And, of course, she's guilty as hell, and they can already prove that, so being back in the spotlight (again just completely regardless of what she says) is going to give opportunities for people to talk about all the proof again.

And, none of the Trump people really give a fuck about protecting her from anything. And she knows that. They just want what they want from her, and once they're done, they literally won't give another thought to where she goes, what happens to her, if she lives or dies.

Honestly, Dante Alighieri would be proud. It's kind of perfectly fitting to be honest.
