Me, personally, I would trade the farm to get the tapes she supposedly has. I would grant her immunity from prosecution, certainly, but I would also PAY her hundreds of millions of dollars. I would put her in the Witness Protection Program or—if she refused it as I likely would if I were her– pay for her security the rest of her life.
She IS the house of cards. She can make the whole thing fall. That’s worth nearly anything.
Yes, of course she is a sick psychopath. So what? She’s not a senior member of our government. She is not enabling any abuse right now and quite possibly never will again. She is a symptom. We need to target the disease.
Bottom line: I would not play hard ball. I would be Santa Claus IF she brings the names and evidence.
