Wolff’s theory is that there’s a whole network of brilliant scientists Epstein cultivated, who’d resist a full file release, many because they’re innocent and would be tarred, and maybe AI tech-bros are backing them up.

PPS One thing that gives her a small bit of leverage: She might have some valid issues on appeal, meaning if she’s NOT pardoned she still has some hope. @mtracey makes a good case on this question, if on nothing else https://t.co/9G7eAOebnv

Before I assume she was trying to avoid Epstein’s fate by signalling she wouldn’t talk. Now Trump is president & she sees a route to a pardon–but she’s gotta do what Trump wants her to do, which I suspect is to give some carefully crafted scandal-killing testimony to Congress https://t.co/nE3mCpmD27

Actually, this Gotti example is a bit off. It’s not as bad as that. It’s worse, in a sense. Trump has a power Gotti never had–the power to grant Ghislaine a pardon or commutation of her 20-year sentence. https://t.co/e6Scn8MGbU

I mean, to many people (not me) Trump is the prime suspect in this case. If the point is to end the conspiracy theories, why send a Trump lawyer to be first to talk to the key witness?
