    I’m pretty sure Congress just forced a vote to subpoena the unredacted files, they need to be delivered within 30 days.

      Wake me when this actually happens and they don’t simply ignore it like they have been for most everything else. Hard to enforce rule when the ones you’re up against control the methods of enforcing those rules.

      The admin has been ignoring roughly 1/3 of court orders. I wonder if this’ll be the one that pushes things to an inflection point.

      Naive to think they won’t simply fall in line. Dump is gonna jingle some keys, the idiots will forget everything, and go right back to their blissful, bigoted ignorance.

      Let’s be real, his base will be so happy if Maxwell names Clinton as a client that they will forgive him for being a pedo.

    There’s a lot of hope being pinned on the probably uncorroborated testimony of a coconspirator being questioned by agents of a prime suspect. I have a hard time seeing either side accepting anything that comes out of it.

    We expect this. Angry MAGAs expect this, so if this happens no one would believe her.

    Also Trump has zero respect for women, even Maxwell. He may not pardon her even if she does a performative confession. And she knows this.

    Nah trump won’t release anything. republicans and establishment democrats both doesn’t want them released. I bet the Biden Admin kept a copy of the original list and would release the full list as a form of Mutually Assured Destruction in case republicans released a partial “Maxwell’s list”.

    I’m not so sure. Maxwell is in a tighter spot than people realize.

    She either has to name all. Or name none at all. Because the ones not named won’t let her live. Not holding that kind of leverage over their heads. And if she flips on anyone. She’ll flip on everyone. Or at least that’s my thinking.

      the ones she named that can be verified, will want her gone as well, or they will go scorced earth and name names that are on the list, granted they dont have the documents themselves, but if they have been in the same places as the people on the list they would have some kind of record of them being there.

      100% and I’m sure that anyone named probably knows a few others on the list and won’t go down without dragging every one else

    Its not really a matter of him doing it. Its a matter of how long his government can withstand constant mounting pressure to do so. And how long until someone in the administration cracks and leaks them. Bondi honestly doesnt seem like she can handle this forever.

    There’s a real part of me that thinks he might not plan to come back from Scotland. A delusional hope that maybe he sees the writing on the wall as his own politicians turn against him, knowing that conclusive proof that he is a child molester will likely become public soon. And his usual waffling about hoaxes and treason just isnt sticking, not even close. Every single choice he has made in the past 2 weeks has made things worse.

      Because she’s very sorry for what she did and she promised to never do it again and she redeemed herself by tattling on these just-so-happen-to-be political enemies of trump, the end. Isn’t that beautiful?

      She’s 60 with a 20yr sentence. Immunity doesn’t matter since she’s already incarcerated. She’s dying in prison, Unless she gets a presidential pardon.

    Trump’s list gonna be like

    Barack Obama
    Michelle Obama
    The Obama kids whatever they’re fuckin’ called
    Their shitty little dog
    That asshole guy who made the diaper blimp

    All of them were on that island fucking kids with Epstein until Trump saved the kids and gave them new mommies and daddies and everyone clapped and loved him.
    The end.

      Dershowitz, probably. Too old and not useful enough to protect. Bill Gates, maybe. Prince Andrew.

      Trumps problem is that whoever gets fingered might have receipts of their own.

      Maybe, they’ll just release names of people who are already dead and hope anyone they left behind can’t prove anything or won’t try.

    Trump has no reason to pardon her to get cooperation. Prison is hell and it takes very little in the way of amenities to drastically upgrade her experience.
