“Maxwell’s lawyers contended that a non-prosecution agreement reached in 2007 by federal prosecutors in Miami and Epstein’s lawyers also protected his “potential co-conspirators” from federal charges anywhere in the country.”

Proof that Trump really doesn’t give a s**t about Maxwell, he is only using her as a surrogate case to secure his own so-called non-prosecution based on the theory that there was some sort of blanket immunity in Epstein’s long s**tcanned sweetheart deal. Although, I don’t think Trump is smart enough to push this on his own. He does have the position to, however.

It also could explain why he doesn’t want to pardon her as that could be seen as an admission of guilt requiring anyone else charged in connection with Epstein’s crimes to also be pardoned on a case by case basis leaving Trump the last pedo standing. There wouldn’t be anyone left to pardon him.
