A document obtained by the House Judiciary Committee Democrats, and viewed by Politico, revealed the 63-year-old’s plan, which, if approved by President Donald Trump, could see her 20-year sentence reduced.

In a letter to her lawyer, Maxwell wrote that she would send application details through the prison warden.

“I am struggling to keep it all together as it is big and there are so many attachments,” she wrote in a message with the subject line: “RE: Commutation Application,” per Politico.

Of course she would like that, but I think her silence already got her what she wanted, which was to be moved to a lower security prison, I guess she just got a dog now, and there are probably fewer other rich people who want to hire an assassin to take her out right now. If they thought she was going to squeal, they might want to take action against her, right?
