Given that it's a story that refuses to go away, possibly the *only* story about Trump that's refused to go away, even I'd be surprised if they offed her at this stage because of how blatantly obvious it'd be. At the same time, I don't think they can offer a pardon either because of how blatantly obvious that would be. Either way there's total uproar that could actually, genuinely destroy the MAGA movement, or at least remove Trump from the head of it. I've even heard theories that this is how Vance gets Trump out of the way so he can assume the presidency, but I think it's probably too early for that.

Maybe they've moved her to another prison because they can better control her there? My guess is that they'll just continue to delay any further action on this while trying to keep Maxwell under wraps, but I don't know how long they can continue doing that given that both sides of Congress want her to testify in front of them.

I mean, Epstein died right before he was due to testify, didn’t he? That was pretty bleeding obvious in terms of suspicion. Not saying that was Trump, but if Epstein was murdered then his killers didn’t give a crap about appearances, and I can’t imagine Trump would care in a similar situation with Maxwell.

On the other hand, I’d assume Maxwell has some kind of death trigger in her will, where if she dies of anything other than natural causes then files are released. I’m surprised Epstein didn’t have anything like that.

I don't think I was even more than dimly aware of Epstein before his death, but we're now talking about a direct link between him and the President of the United States that's been front-page news for weeks. If she dies, the suspicious is absolutely going to be on Trump, whereas with Epstein it was on any number of people. Hell, maybe they've transferred her to a another prison to stop any of those other potential actors from having her killed.

He’ll just say Biden did it - Creepy, Sleepy Joe, he always talked about doing it, everyone’s saying it.

Plus it wouldn’t surprise me if there are people in Congress who would benefit from her demise. If she does die, the press will go bananas but nothing will happen to Trump. It never does. And even if they pinned it on him conclusively, he’d just brag about how he killed a nasty woman and did everyone a favour.

Trump moved some nuclear submarines somewhere in response to the usual deranged ramblings of Dmitry Medvedev. The Edwin would genuinely escalate a nuclear conflict to divert attention away from the Epstein stuff.
