    Hmmm I’m more interested in the Epstein list that Bondi had. Maybe we finish going through that list before starting on a second one?

      My impression is that the reason team Biden went after Maxwell first is that Epstein’s documents are not super-compelling evidence on their own. They really wanted to flip Maxwell to explain the documents, but weren’t willing to give her whatever deal she was asking for. I feel like she’s just trying the same plan with the new administration, now that they’re under higher pressure (and possibly interested in more selective prosecutions).

        This is definitely it. Being on a client list isn’t sufficient evidence. These guys have a lot of money they covered things up. An eye witness testimony could be enough. If they’re still investigating releasing the list could scare some suspects into destroying evidence.
