Ive read that Trump said he wouldnt pardon her, but we all know that is bullshit. My guess is that if she does testify, she will say hes not in it and will get her pardon. The other option is if she testifies says Trump is on the list, and her life will be in danger. Where do you think this will go?

(3,417 posts)She is a monster but that doesnt mean she doesnt remember facts or dates. She knows everything that went on with Epstein.

(11,646 posts)Which version of the "truth" will she tell?
The one that gets her sent back to prison or the one that gets her a pardon?

(72,465 posts)The issue is whether she will cough them up in an accurate and honest way.
I had a RW acquaintance, with a goddamn Newsmax story that said she was willing to testify and said that Trump wasnt on the list. Ive countered him on that bullshit. Think Im gonna block him at long last.

(33,186 posts)That will claim the piece of shit was never anywhere to be found around this, but Bill Clinton was other and famous Democrats or progressive, etc.
Not a fucking word of it will be true, but since the piece of shit and his pieces of shit control everything and I mean everything including the Department of Justice, the FBI oh my God fucking everything they will do anything they want and we will just have to fucking Put up with it or

She would probably be arrested immediately by the FBI.

(33,186 posts)If she identifies piece of shit as being the one with Epstein, doing these things, any other comment from her will be an outright fucking lie.

(17,625 posts)Recall that a story leaked that The Dotard had had discussions about whether or not to pardon her, during which he was worried what she could say about him, but was convinced not to.
THEN the story comes that she is willing to testify. That order of events matters.
That first leak wasn't necessarily an embarrassing exposure of something The Dotard wanted secret. Perhaps it was planted by his people as a trial balloon, as a hint to Maxwell for what the conditions of getting a pardon would be -- namely silence about The Dotard.

(18,568 posts)As long as she has anything to gain by lying, she cannot be trusted. But one good thing is that Elon Musk seems to know what is actually in the files, and she knows that he knows--possibly would make her slightly less likely to lie. And this hinges on whether or not Musk actually knows the contents of the file, or whether he is bluffing. My gut feeling is Musk is familiar with the damaging information in the files and probably has that material (copies, of course), but does he know the minute details?

(77,373 posts)She is appealing her conviction. She needs to show that her constitutional rights were violated, that there was misconduct on the prosecutor's part, or that the is startling new evidence proving her to be innocent. Zero chance there.
Who and why would she be called to testify against? The felon & maga administration sought to tie the Democratic Party to Epstein by releasing selective files they were convinced existed. But they don't. Surprise, surprise! Epstein is not a dead chicken that a farmer could hang around the party's neck. So who would she testify against?

(126,066 posts)does she have evidence to back up what she says? I have no doubt that if she does have hard evidence, she also has a dead-man's switch in place - that is, any such evidence is in the custody of a third person who has been told to provide it to the media if anything happens to her - and that Trump and his minions know the dead-man's switch exists. If she's been promised a pardon or a commutation, she can leave the country to avoid being prosecuted for perjury, and she'll also be safe if she decides to spill the real beans later.

(7,689 posts)This congress will not have her testify.
Where will this go?? trump loses some of his MAGAnuts - He will still have a strong base but enough will abandon him to affect other republicans.
As far as Maxwell, I won't be surprised if she has a heart attack, stroke - it can't be another suicide.

I think it will go as far as the Qtip-weirdos push in his ear. I think the establishment would rather let this play out by proxy.
