(1,789 posts)Not about any of us, but about Trump and how much better it would be for him if she's gone. If she has any brains, she'd have a failsafe, that would release the files upon her death unless she dies a free woman of old age in her own bed. And heck, even then.

(19,789 posts)she'll be pardoned, of course, but not right now.
They're afraid that releasing her will turn the spotlight back on the sexual predators in their own ranks.

(18,940 posts)"On the first day of their new term, the justices declined to take up a case that would have drawn renewed attention to the sordid sexual-abuse saga after President Donald Trump's administration sought to tamp down criticism over its refusal to publicly release more investigative files from Epstein's case."
"Maxwell's lawyers contended that a non-prosecution agreement reached in 2007 by federal prosecutors in Miami and Epstein's lawyers also protected his 'potential co-conspirators' from federal charges anywhere in the country."

This turned out well for Trump. It keeps Maxwell "in prison," still hoping for a pardon. The last thing Trump wanted was Ghislaine free to make statements that would incriminate him.
