No one is going to believe her if she says Trump was never a client of Epstein, and then he pardons or commutes her sentence. If she tells the truth, she's not getting the pardon. Trump could promise her the pardon, have her say he wasn't involved with Epstein, and then never pardon her, but then risk she might talk for revenge. Trump needs her to calm the conspiracy theory and shift the focus away from him, without appearing to give her clemency.

No one with a brain is going to believe her. Plenty of people will.

They know that not everyone will buy her testimony. They're counting on enough MAGA people buying it for them to put it all behind them. Having her assassinated would just resurrect the scandal. It's also not realistic to suppose that they could renege on a pardon deal without it getting out, especially if she dies. She has lawyers who'll be only too happy to go on camera and talk about it, and merking them too would only make it worse.

The playbook should be to have her exculpate Trump in public testimony, declare the scandal over, then pardon her at the end of Trump's term.

Looks like their first attempt is to go through SCOTUS. Taco will try to get them throw away the sentence, then he would just say that he had nothing to do with it.
