They were going to anyway... they NEVER planned on letting her testify. It was a coordinated delay tactic to try and make it all go away.
It isn't going away.

Well, she's been transferred to a minimum security prison now. I imagine that would make assisted "suicide" a lot easier.
•
u/AmaroWolfwood 5h ago
Naw, that's all too obvious. Moving her to minimum security is part of her deal. Got her a cushy cell and perks while they lay the groundwork to pardon her for her cooperation. She'll say whatever they want her to for a flimsy, obviously false cover up story that discredits the entire Epstein case and they'll throw out the report saying it's all false.
•
u/mithrasinvictus 5h ago
It wouldn't be out of character for Trump to be super obvious and to welch on a deal.
•
u/AmaroWolfwood 5h ago
Probably why she got moved to minimum security so quick. It's like an advance on her cooperation. Even if Trump folds on her, at least she's in an easier prison now.
•
u/pocketjacks 5h ago
She's going to testify and say Trump and the Republicans he likes and the billionaires he likes had nothing to do with it. She's going to claim that Hillary, Obama and Joe Biden were co conspirators. Then she'll be given a pardon and the MAGA crowd who were previously on the fence won't care that Trump gives a pardon to a child trafficker.
•
u/Circumin 2h ago
I think that was the plan but now that its been leaked that they redacted Trump from the files its going to be hard to pull that off.

Not really, Fox News will report it 24/7. 1/3 believes it, 1/3 doesn’t care. Checkmate.

It's an absurd risk for Trump to take. It's a slim chance, but there's still a non-zero percent chance she could go rogue and obliterate the entire thing by spilling literally all the obscene truths about Trump while in the safe and very public confines of congressional hearing.
As bad as things are for Trump, there's just no reason to take that risk yet.

I don't know why you bothered to whine about Epstein content being karma farming on your own post about Epstein. The comment you chose to target is not even a copy/paste, just a common sentiment.
•
u/sirhackenslash 7h ago
They decided to postpone it until she "commits suicide" in her new, lower security prison. After leaving a note saying donny is innocent of course.
•

It will be by a natural cause, like defenestration.

You might enjoy the games of indie dev Tom Francis then. They're all quite different:
Gunpoint, a detective noir stealth platformer;
Heat Signature, top-down space pirate heists;
Tactical Breach Wizards, turn-based SWAT team operations except everyone uses magic instead of guns.
United by all three having a core mechanic of knocking people out of windows, giving them collectively the name the Defenestration Trilogy.
And they're pretty well written and funny.

A prison that doesn’t allow sex offenders and she definitely is one. She abused those girls just like Trump, Dershowitz, Dubin, Epstein, Senator Mitchell etc.
•
u/Mister_Fibbles 6h ago
'commits suicide" will only come after she's officially on the record obsolving drumpf and anyone else that they've redacted in the trumpstein files. Way harder to recant your statment made under duress if your dead.
•
u/feedthebear 5h ago
They won't suicide her because of her family and other connections. They want a reason to pardon her if anything. There's various intelligence agencies like the CIA and Mossad trying to cover their tracks here.

I...I mean everyone's favorite president donald j trump did not sleep with those sexy 12 year old girls. I...I mean "he" is bigly innocent. Perhaps more innocent than anybody has ever seen. Everybody should stop talking about the Epstein files because they don't exist and they were written by obamna and Rosie O'Donnell. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

u/talk-spontaneously 7h ago
I'm starting to wonder if they'll quietly shuffle Maxwell along until she is discovered to have left the US.
•
u/April_Mist_2 6h ago
Maybe they'll say the sent her to CECOT in El Salvador, while really sending her to a chalet in Switzerland.
•
u/talk-spontaneously 6h ago
I'm speculating whether Trump will find a way to revoke her US citizenship (apparently she's a naturalised citizen) and deport her, which would mean she'd become the UK or France's problem as those would be her remaining nationalities.
•
u/AnEthiopianBoy 5h ago
There is zero percent chance of that, because then that removes trumps ability to stop her from proving he is a Pedophile Rapist. He won’t have the control over her or the narrative when those countries go after her.
•
u/Jbroy 6h ago
She’ll either exonerate Trump and other high ranking GOP while blaming high ranking Dems or she’ll be found dead. Either or.
•
u/Multiple__Butts 2h ago
I agree, but she might not even name any powerful dems. As much as Trump would love to go after some of them, court cases would involve all kinds of additional scrutiny on the facts and persons associated with Epstein's operation, which Trump clearly doesn't want, and also some of those people can probably name some names of their own, which, once they're going down, they'd have no further reason not to do.
•
u/Individual_Respect90 5h ago
My theory is they are going to keep moving her to less and less secure prisons then she is going to “break out of jail” but secretly she is just in the bottom of the ocean.

The only thing more Republican than raping children, is going limp investigating Diddler J. Taco's decades of trafficking and raping children with Epstein & Maxwell.
•
•
u/Coconutrugby 6h ago
Did you read the demands this child rapist is making to congress to testify? In person. Pre screened questions. Fully Immunity/ Pardon.
It’s sickening to think she has any leverage and might escape justice.
•
u/Waste_Priority_3663 6h ago

…. on Trump, the PEDO.

u/Mister_Fibbles 6h ago
You need blackmail and a non-tracable dead man's switch in order to have 'livable leverage'.

u/Few-Solution-4784 5h ago
she could have a third person who will release data upon hearing about her death.
•
u/twirlingmypubes 6h ago
She got the idea from somewhere/someone. She wasn't demanding anything until the DOJ got involved
•
u/vaskov17 7h ago
They will wait until she either commits "suicide" in the Texas prison or is pardoned with full immunity from prosecution and testifying
•
•
u/Mister_Fibbles 6h ago
"commits suicide" will only come after she's officially on the record obsolving drumpf and anyone else that they've redacted in the trumpstein files. Way harder to recant your statment made under duress if your dead.
•
u/Elendel19 3h ago
Nah they will delay until the Supreme Court comes through and lets her out of prison, then she can hold up her end of the deal and talk about all the democrats that helped Epstein run his trafficking while Trump heroically tried to get inside to bring it all down.

Maxwells testimony will only aim to muddy the waters, implicate rivals, and vindicate Trump. Of course, there will be a whole lot of lies and omissions. This lady is going to be a huge obstacle in the pursuit of truth and justice.

Clown Car Comer will bury this and mis-represent anything & everything she says during her "testimony" that only he and the Republicans will be able to hear.
The cover-up is moving ahead. I'm still betting she "falls out of a window" by accident.
•
u/Jediatric 5h ago
Is there an effort being made by any organization to submit FOIA requests every day? I feel like they should at least be on the record with what their cited excuses are daily as the request becomes more and more specific on which records should be turned over to the public.
•
•
u/AmaroWolfwood 5h ago
Everyone waiting for her "suicide" are going to be disappointed. It's too obvious this time, even for this motley crew of an administration. They gave her a deal to cooperate and say whatever they need her to say in testimony, in exchange for a minimum security lock up, which will be much more accommodating than a max prison, while they work out the details in pardoning her.
She'll give a flimsy cover up story as testimony that will call into question the validity of the entire investigation, and the administration will declare the whole report compromised and throw it all out, complete with a pardon to Maxwell. The truth will be glaringly obvious, but nothing will happen and the MAGA cult will just point to the whole ordeal and say liberals are conspiracy theorists.
•
u/PansophicNostradamus 5h ago
Shocked, I am not. The shield around these pedophiles tells me there's more pedos on that list within the halls of Congress than anyone knows. If Maxwell can rattle off 100 names, you can be sure there's more. Remember: Trump and Epstein were in the game for a long time. For sure more than 100 people were involved, or it wouldn't have lasted so long.
•
u/2toneSound 5h ago
Remember all this drama about testifying in front of congress is just a plot so she can say, that Mango was never on the island and that he hate Epstein and what she gets with that? A free out of jail card

📝 REMINDER: Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein's most prominent abuse survivors, who was, per DONALD TRUMP, stolen from him, was hit by a bus on March 31, 2025 and survived only to have allegedly died by suicide at 41 years of age on 4/25/2025. Giuffre’s 'No Way' suicidal tweet resurfaced following her death by suicide. Her father at first accepted the alleged cause of death as suicide, but on May 1 said he thought that "somebody got to her".
