Fun fact, if Maxwell is pardoned, she can no longer plead the 5th.
If she's not at risk of prison for her testimony, she can be compelled to testify. If she doesn't testify, she can be jailed indefinitely, fined, or any other punishment (within reason) the judge decides is until she gives the full, honest truth.
He's more at risk if she is pardoned than if she isn't.
And if she lies under oath in exchange for the pardon, what does that risk from her perspective? They either don't catch her, and she gets away with trafficking hundreds of children to pedophiles, or they do catch her and she goes to jail for lying under oath.
