If Maxwell had actual knowledge of Trump doing anything with underage girls that is credible enough for Trump to do cut a deal today, she would have been able to cut a deal in 2020. She didn't cut a deal in 2020, so she almost certainly doesn't have anything significant.

2019 was the second time Epstein was charged with sex trafficking. On the first go around, he "negotiated" a scandalously light sentence. Having already been an experienced jailbird, and sentence "negotiator", it doesn't scan that he could have been so despondent that he would off himself. So. the theory goes, he would barter evidence to Trump, for another scandalously light sentence. But, the FSB wanted to keep the leverage over Trump. The FSB did not want the evidence bartered to save Epstein's skin, so they greased Epstein, to prevent him handing the evidence over to Trump. Maxwell took the lesson, and kept her piehole shut. Then Trump was out of office, and she lost what leverage she had.

Recall, at the start of the year, Trump was parroting the Kremlin line: the war was all Ukraine's fault. Ukraine had to hand over a big chunk of land to Russia. Ukraine would never join the EU or NATO. Ukraine had "no cards". Ukraine had to sit alone and nekked, while Putin re-equipped and re-trained, until he was ready to attack Ukraine again. In other words, Ukraine was required to surrender. Recall the words of Richard Clarke, an intelligence analyst during the Bush junta. Watching the body language of Trump and Putin at Helsinki, Clarke said Trump was clearly "an asset".

The theory then says that Maxwell sent a discrete message to Trump "prison really sux. I have a proposition for you". Learning that Maxwell has the evidence, rather than the FSB, Trump did a 180, venting at Putin's intransigence, and suggesting he will happily sell all the arms to Ukraine that the rest of Europe is willing to pay for. Trump sends his mouthpiece to see what Maxwell has to offer. When the mouthpiece reports back, Maxwell is transferred to a more comfortable, lower security, prison, for saying that Trump is as pure and innocent as the driven snow. The thought occurs, the lower security prison will also be easier for the FSB to penetrate.

We will see how this plays out. But there is no amount of money in the world, that you could pay me, to be in the situation Maxwell put herself in.
