| Maxwell's Supreme Court Case Could Upend everything
|
| Donald Trump's current plan for trying to make the Epstein
| files go away is to get Ghislaine Maxwell to sign a
| document or testify that Trump did not commit statutory
| rape on Jeffrey Epstein's island, while a whole bunch of
| Democrats did. In return he would promise her a pardon. Of
| course, this plan might fail for a variety of reasons:
|
| 1. Maxwell demands the pardon in advance because she
| expects Trump to renege.
| 2. Maxwell does what she is ordered to do but the base
| doesn't believe her.
| 3. The Supreme Court bails her out.
|
| That third one would really shake things up, but it is
| possible. Everything depends on a sweetheart plea deal
| Epstein made with the feds in 2007. One line in it reads:
| "The United States also agrees that it will not institute
| any criminal charges against any potential co-conspirators
| of Epstein." Should the DoJ have made this deal? Maybe yes,
| maybe no, but it did. Maxwell's lawyers are arguing that
| the DoJ can be held to a written agreement it made. Since
| the DoJ agreed not to prosecute any of Epstein's potential
| co-conspirators, the case depends on whether Maxwell is a
| co-conspirator. It is an unusual thing for a criminal
| defendant to argue that, yes, she was a co-conspirator in a
| criminal conspiracy and for the government to argue that
| no, she wasn't. Still, here we are.
