6. I think the jet. The fact that she is still alive suggests to me that she has something stashed somewhere

that someone is afraid of coming out. And some mechanism for it to come out if she dies.

that she be sequestered, that her meals be catered and delivered without a break in the chain of custody, and that TWO cameras be aimed at her for recording.

4. If court orders are so easy, I think I'll get me one ordering TACO to vacate the premises of 1600 Pennsylvania.

5. The Maxwell FAMILY has any (and all?) of the incriminating material

Unless they’re going to kill all of them it’s too late, it’s out in the wild.

Trump would almost certainly bring ruinous consequences to himself (and others?) if he targets her.

His best bet is to pardon her in return for her silence on his crimes, get her out of “his” custody and see what “somebody” else might do but even then, that info is out there with one of her family and I presume she has a kill switch.

she has a dead-man's switch in place. She'll have let it be known that she has given all manner of incriminating material to her lawyers or other agents, ready to be released to the media if anything untoward should happen to her.

why hasn't she pulled the trigger already? Waiting for a pardon? Why sit in prison for ~20 years, much less I'm sure.

9. Biden would never pardon her and Traitor has only been in office 5 months

Takes some wheeling and dealing I presume to maneuver a pardon between him and especially her.

Her pardon would take a lot of dealing to put into effect imo.

unless/until she's run out of all possibilities, including a Trump pardon.

"Ghislaine Maxwell Pardon Watch starts now," wrote Bulwark reporter Will Sommer.

"They are going to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell in exchange for her silence on what she knows about Trump and Jeffrey Epstein," wrote New York health care activist Melanie D'Arrigo. "The coverup will continue, and the Trump administration will rewrite the entire official story, release it, and treat it as fact. Pay attention."
