Federal pardons issued by the president apply only to federal offenses; they do not apply to state or local offenses or to private civil lawsuits. Pardons for state crimes are handled by governors or a state pardon board.
Yeah, it's likely it won't be a full pardon. I'd certainly expect it to be conditional on her exonerating DJT and admitting that whoever he wants was involved in the child abuse; that is just basic common sense, to be honest.
It's obviously just spitballing from 45/47 for now, but it could well be brilliant, insightful stuff. A pardon in return for testimony against... well, whoever he wishes. His genius never ceases to astonish me.
I've never seen anybody praised for pardoning a child sex trafficker before, it's certainly a bold move, let's see how it plays out Cotton. The religious right is going to have a hard time defending this one.
Honestly, I want her to rot in jail - a pardon would feel like a travesty.
When does a bird sing? When it is freed from its cage! We have more than we know.
My thoughts exactly
As long as it isn't a full pardon. Crimes against children should never be pardoned.

Remember how people were baffled, on her conviction, when Trump commented "I wish her well".
He always says things that come to have meaning much later.
Pardon her for the crimes she was arrested on, get all the relevant information, then jail her for the new stuff she revealed.
Simple.
Yes. Can we rule out the possibility that she is innocent? I think not
The immunity deal seems to be doing the trick.
Maxwell was given limited immunity for information. No more jail time, but she will serve her sentence.

Have faith in Trump
I think it may not be a complete pardon, but enough to get her to talk.
She could be pardoned, then have a nasty accident in Arkansas.
Kek, yes but that's not the white hat way.
Just drop her off, mistakes happen.
She may feel safer in jail. jmo
My thoughts - Release her and she is a goner. They will never let exposing them stand.
But... people will jus spin it as "she is saying that because he pardoned her"
...
I wonder if she has some "documentation" stashed somewhere
