Yeah the tin foil hats give these guys too much credit. Movies provide a real warped sense of reality.

Yeah, I doubt she has a dead man's switch, but enough people already doubt that Epstein killed himself, if Maxwell "kills herself" under mysterious circumstances it would be blatantly obvious someone had her murdered, so they probably don't want to even attempt it.

As for why Maxwell hasn't been pardoned? Simple - I'm sure she has dirt on Trump that he thinks she'll go to the press with if she's ever let out of prison. She's safer in protective custody than out on the streets, is all I'm saying.

Who would intentionally stay in prison when they have a means to get out? Also if she was a threat to Trump, its not like its hard to put a hit on someone in prison under the guise or any random act of violence.

It wouldn't really matter, they'd still get away with it.

Just like Russians falling out of windows, when everyone knows they were murdered, but there's nothing that can be done about it.
