They could. It would toss nitroglycerin onto the fracturing maga base, but they could. Almost anything they do will backfire.

I can't believe no one has commented this yet.

She's not going to say there's no list. She's going to say she has the list and it's conveniently going to contain all of trump's enemies .... probably including Obama.

Breaking news: Maxwell has been shot while trying to escape, in the back of the head. After a brief investigation her death has been ruled suicide by cop. Jk, unless...

Pardoning Maxwell would be an insanely bad idea. The MAGA world love two things more than anything else; conspiracy theories, and imagining themselves in an endless war against a cabal of powerful pedophiles.

Maxwell directly aided and abetted one of those powerful pedophiles. To MAGA, there is no possible justification for pardoning her. It would be tantamount to a full admission from Trump, and it would send their conspiracy addled minds into overdrive. At best (for him), they'd wonder what kind of leverage she has over Trump in order to buy herself a pardon. If not evidence of pedophilia, then surely something else, right?

Is Maxwell angling for a pardon? Almost certainly. But giving her one would be a suicidal move for the administration right now.

She’d be stupid to take any deal, she’ll be dead before the term is over, regardless of a possible pardon. He can’t risk her talking under a potential different government.

Car accident on the way back to prison.

Either that or she'll tragically take her own life while the guards are on break and the cameras are down.

Apparently pardons don't need to made public and they could offer a pardon that takes effect on a future date. She's in a federal prison so they put her in some really nice conditions in club fed until that date.

So we won't know she was pardoned until she walks out of the prison.

The neat thing about pardons is if you accept one you lose your 5th amendment rights around the subject, and be compelled to testify.

He still has the problem of obviously pardoning a woman convicted of heinous crimes involving trafficking of young girls to facilitate Epstein.

I understand the cynicism, but, I actually think that GM knows what happened to Epstein. From reading interviews and her online presence, you can tell quickly that she is a very timid and fearful person in the face of all of this, but she also seems to display the usual sense of self-preservation that most of us have too.

I think she knows that she is at risk of being 'suicided' by speaking to the US government. I don't think Trump would get her to agree to say nothing happened and let her free, because if she is free and fucks off to Belize, she could still ruin his fucking life from 3,000 miles away.

Personally, I think that the situation we are looking at is that she knows that if she doesn't pipe up and drop more dirt, she WILL be silenced before that can happen. I don't think it's beyond the realm of possibilities that GM has a dead-man's switch operating somewhere; for Christ's sake, she was the chief of staff of the world's largest and most elaborate sex trafficking and extortion ring.

Why would it be beyond the pale for her to have shipped a box of Epstein's hard drives from his Florida properties? They could easily have been shipped to some douche in another country who benefits from a trust for as long as they sit on that information, with instructions to release the documents online if GM is reported as dead.

And MAGA will lap it up like puppies and a bowl of peanut butter.

Well yeah, how else can they claim the list isn’t real?

They are going to claim that the evidence never existed, something something Biden treason, and then point to the pardon from now on when people bring up the files.

If she doesn't lick his balls to get a pardon I'll break my cellphone in half and shove it down my throat until I can't see it anymore.

#Truth

I'm sure that's what she's angling for, but it would be stupid to think that will quell the anger. Not that I'm implying it being stupid means they won't do it.
