Wolff: This is a key issue right now in the way the WH is looking at the Epstein scandal.

The fear is that Ghislaine Maxwell can tie Trump to the details of what Trump and Epstein called the Committee.

The Committee consisted of Trump and Epstein in their efforts to get girls for Prince Andrew.

Assume this is true (for all I know it’s utter bullshit, so humor me). How does this play out?

Maxwell was not in a position to talk to anybody. Nor does she want to. She (or her lawyers; either way) know anything she could say now, publicly, could affect even the review of her application for certiorari. Why would she fuck that up by talking to anybody about anything?

Blanche comes calling, she sees an opportunity. What if Trump had left her alone? She wasn’t going to talk to anyone. Not until her appeals were exhausted, anyway. Now she can make a deal; but really, Trump can’t buy her silence.

Back to Wolf’s allegation, then. That story, that possible truth, might still come out. If Trump pardons Maxwell, what keeps her from selling her story, then? Full disclosures, the whole enchilada. What’s Trump gonna do, revoke her pardon? Claim it was signed with an auto pen, so it’s invalid? Short of execution, they can’t stop Maxwell if she decides to tie Trump directly to Epstein. His only defense will be to release the Epstein files, and if nothing else is found, the cry will go up again that the Deep State is protecting…Trump?

He can’t escape this trap he built, that way.

She could blackmail him. She could be blackmailing him. But that’s her problem.

Why did they involve Maxwell in the first place? Getting her moved to solitary confinement so she couldn’t talk wouldn’t have been less obvious than moving her to Bryan. Talking to her in private just drew more attention to the failure to keep the promise and release the files. What if he pardons her? It’s a confession of guilt, straight up. 

In the end, Wolf’s story is irrelevant. The “motive” for Trump’s concern with Maxwell is irrelevant. Trump is panicking; the cause of the panic is irrelevant. There is no motive for his actions that makes his actions make sense. Exposure is obviously what he fears. But exposure of what?

We won’t know that until it’s exposed.
