After Todd Blanche‘s visit to Ghislaine Maxwell in her jail cell, the next thing we’ll hear from Maxwell is that Trump was a choir boy.
I don't think so. Trump doesn't need or want Maxwell saying he's a choir boy. That doesn't solve his political problem.
I'll keep banging this drum over and over again. Trump's problem isn't that the unreleased files could implicate him in crimes. It's that the files can't implicate anyone at all in any crimes. His supporters believe that the government has long had proof of horrible crimes, and has chosen not to act on that proof to protect the wicked but powerful. They will be livid if Trump does not use these files to send people off to jail. But Trump can't use these files to send anyone off to jail, because there's nothing in them that could result in anyone being convicted (other than Maxwell and Epstein, were he still alive).
So what Trump wants from Maxwell is to point the finger at someone. Anyone. Preferably a Democrat, but they'll take anyone. They want something that will let them open an investigation, ask for a search warrant, convene another grand jury - anything that can take a long time and let them lob accusations against people. They just need to stretch it out a few more months, have an excuse to pretend to their base that there's movement, and that whatever might be in the files can't be released because it would interfere with some criminal process.
