This is all now controlled by the acting U.S. Attorney SDNY. Remember, the DS plant, Berman, has been canned and an intense investigation is underway over everything the Dems have been doing and are hiding while they controlled this office. So the reason for the news blackout here is because Barr has ordered it. Barr waited to grab Maxwell until he identified and sat on all Berman's minions. This will play out completely different than it did with the low level scumbag pos Epstein.
We'll likely never know, anon. Berman is now Ronin and has probably had a deep discussion with DoJ White Hats where his options were explored.
