I think this is whats happening. (Repost of my post from a few days ago.)
First, they fired Maurene Comey, who helped prosecute Maxwell. That was the shot across the bow. If theres anyone still in DOJ who wants to publicly or officially oppose Trump, and if they want to remain employed, theyll stay quiet.
Second, we know that Todd Blanche (Trumps former defense attorney) who is now Deputy AG, is going to meet with Maxwell. Hell dangle the pardon if she agrees to play along and clear Trumps name. She will.
Third, theyll cite Maxwell as Epsteins closest confidant and associate clearing Trump. Theyll do this over and over and over.
Fourth, If any part of the files do come out, theyll have Trumps name removed from the most incriminating parts (we already know of the 1,000 FBI personnel working on this, per Sen. Durbin). And the WH will keep saying: Maxwell said he didnt do anything, over and over and over.
That will become the new narrative.
This is very close to how they muddied the waters on the Mueller report.
And it worked.
Thats what I posted the other day. The only thing Id add at this point is: theyre going to say Maxwell was treated unfairly, because she wouldnt lie and implicate Trump, so she went to prison. Theyll say this is all about Trump, reminding supporters that they already believe the justice system is out to get him. Maxwell walks. Focus is on DOJ corruption. And hey, the files prove Trump is innocent! (Even though theyve been scrubbed.)
