I wonder if Ghislaine Maxwell pleaded the Fifth yesterday to protect her Right.....
to not get Epsteined?

Which means anything she does, she's playing to an audience of one.
Whatever she thinks (or knows) Trump prefers her to do, that's what she's going to do.
I consider this to be the Occam's Razor view of the situation, but that doesn't mean she's couldn't also be concerned for her safety if she was to blab as you allude to.
We can both be right, because they're not remotely mutually exclusive ideas 
Full disclosure: This came from AI.
Her immunity request:
In mid‑2025, before scheduling her deposition, Maxwell’s lawyers sent a letter to the House Oversight Committee saying she would be willing to testify only if she received formal immunity under the federal witness‑immunity statutes and other conditions (deposition not in prison, advance questions, etc.).
They also floated an even bigger ask: if President Trump were to pardon or commute her sentence, she would “be willing—and eager—to testify openly and honestly, in public, before Congress.”
What actually happened at the deposition
With no immunity and no clemency, Maxwell appeared by video for the February 2026 closed‑door deposition and invoked the Fifth Amendment repeatedly, refusing to answer substantive questions about Epstein, co‑conspirators, or alleged clients.
Her lawyer reiterated that she would only cooperate if she were granted clemency or some form of immunity; otherwise she would continue to plead the Fifth.
So: she did seek immunity for her congressional appearance; the committee explicitly turned that down; and as a result she was compelled to appear but then largely refused to answer questions, relying on her Fifth Amendment rights
The bolded part is pretty interesting. I wonder whether that would actually be legally binding? My suspicion is it would not be, but IANAL
Whether she hates him or not, and whether she actually has the goods on King Pedonald or not, she is at his mercy, and there's no scenario where crossing him is a smart move. She crosses him severely, she's back at the shithole prison the next day. Even if her best friend is secretly holding a video of him violently raping a 5 year old on the patio at Little St James, if she drops the dime, guess what? Assuming Trump were even impeached, then JD Vance controls her fate.
Her best play is to angle for a pardon, but let Trump know when she gets out, she'll never say he did shit wrong, and instead blame his political enemies. Which she probably already promised Blanche, and the fact she's already repeatedly showed her omerta means Trump would believe it (he might even know he did nothing wrong, I hate to mention it, but it's possible)
