In reply to the discussion: Rep Swalwell tweets that Trump just "dangled" a pardon for sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell [View all]localroger
(3,627 posts)40. Stone was granted bail
He was out of jail for the whole trial process and Trump commuted his sentence just before he would have had to report to jail. Ghislaine is in jail and the judge has made it clear she's going to stay there until her trial, which will be at least a year from now. There's nothing Trump can do about that and I can't see her putting up with it if she can cut a deal with someone else.

He'd have to combine a pardon with some plan to whisk her out of the country.

You may be right. It is just that Trump has zero respect for the rule of law and precedents. nt

Can't kill her. She has thumb drives of Epstein's blackmail material to be released if she's killed.
