New York Post: Still no plea deal for Ghislaine Maxwell, who heads to trial next week  (https://nypost.com/2021/11/23/no-plea-deal-for-ghislaine-maxwell-ahead-of-trial-next-week/)

Federal prosecutors on Tuesday said they’re still not offering Ghislaine Maxwell a plea deal, paving the way for her long-anticipated sex-trafficking trial to begin next week.

At Maxwell’s final pretrial hearing in the Manhattan courtroom where she’ll face a jury Monday, Judge Alison Nathan asked prosecutors and her defense attorneys if a plea deal had been offered.  ...

The trial is expected to kick off with opening statements on Monday after more than a year of preparation.

Maxwell is charged with six counts for allegedly procuring underage girls for Epstein to abuse from 1994 through 2004.

She’s pleaded not guilty and has remained in a Brooklyn federal lockup since her arrest in 2020.  ...

Ghislaine Maxwell's family appeals to United Nations for help getting her out on bail
David K. Li - 2h ago

Ghislaine Maxwell’s siblings on Monday filed a complaint to the United Nations, calling her pre-trial detention an act of “unprecedented discrimination” and accusing U.S. authorities of trampling the “narrow line between justice and revenge.”

Maxwell, who is being held without bail ahead of her federal trial in New York City, was a confidante of Jeffrey Epstein — the millionaire financier and accused sex trafficker, who died by suicide in 2019 while in federal custody. ...

Her trial is slated to begin next week.

Maxwell’s brothers and sisters filed their complaint to the U.N. Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, denouncing a judge’s repeated rejections of bail.

“This is unprecedented discrimination, the like of which has never seen before: All her applications for bail have been rejected, with no regard for the security offered,” according to a statement by family lawyers Francois Zimeray and Jessica Finelle, based in Paris.

“It is as if Ghislaine Maxwell is suffering the consequences for the failure of the U.S. Administration to preserve the life of Jeffrey Epstein and secure his appearance at trial.” ...

Here's All 26 Locations Bill Clinton Flew With Jeffrey Epstein On The Lolita Express
Bill Clinton's Global Flight Log On The Infamous Lolita Express

... One of the most important data points on Jeffrey Epstein is his public flight logs on his private jet, The Lolita Express. There are hundreds of flights. Flights to the Virgin Island, to obscure African countries, parts of Asia most couldn’t find on a map and high-class ranking countries in Europe. The most interesting part of the entire Lolita Express flight tracker are the guests who trotted the globe with Epstein and his associate Maxwell.

This will be a multi-series piece on all guests aboard the Lolita Express. Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss out on future articles.

This article will focus exclusively on former president Bill Clinton.

Clinton’s relationship with Epstein is somewhat opaque. We know Clinton had close ties to Epstein. There are claims that Clinton went to Epstein’s private island with two young girls, which the former president has denied.   ...

No matter the extent of the relationship. There was a reason why Clinton traveled on the Lolita Express 26 times between February 2002 and November 2003. We have taken the liberty to detail all of the trips below. There is a lot to digest. Good luck and Godspeed. ... Full Article (https://patriotone.substack.com/p/heres-all-26-locations-bill-clinton)

Ghislaine Maxwell sex-trafficking trial finally to begin in earnest
The Guardian, Nov 28, 2021

Ghislaine Maxwell’s sex-trafficking trial is scheduled to start in earnest in federal court in Manhattan on Monday with opening statements about the eagerly awaited case.

The first arguments will set the stage for a six-week trial in which the British socialite’s alleged involvement in Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes will be aired in grueling detail, outlining how prosecutors and defense attorneys will approach the proceedings.

Maxwell, 59, stands accused of recruiting and grooming girls for the late disgraced financier, from 1994 to 2004, some of whom were just 14 years old. Epstein’s sometime girlfriend is also accused of participating in his sexual abuse of teenage girls.

[...]

Maxwell is on trial on six counts: conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, enticement of a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, conspiracy to transport minors with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, transporting a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, sex trafficking conspiracy, and sex trafficking of a minor.

The counts cite four accusers – listed in the indictment as Minor Victim-1, Minor Victim-2, Minor Victim-3 and Minor Victim-4 – though more are expected to testify.

Maxwell also faces charges for lying under oath. Federal prosecutors have said Maxwell tried to hide her participation in Epstein’s acts, stating false information “under oath” during civil litigation. That litigation was the defamation case in which th Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre sued Maxwell.

Ghislaine Maxwell's Lawyer Has Defended Terrorists, Murders and High Profile Ponzi Scheme Fraudsters
   The Free Press Report
Nov 21   

Whether you’re a high profile terrorist, a violent murderer, or a Ponzi scheme fraudster, elite New York City defense attorney Bobbi Sternheim is on the case.

Starting on November 29th, Mrs. Sternheim, a top legal ace for the white-shoe firm of Fasulo, Braverman, and DiMaggio LLC, will stand inside Thurgood Marshall courthouse in downtown New York City and argue that Ghislaine Maxwell, accused of enticement of minors and sex trafficking of underage girls as an accomplice of Palm Beach financier Jeffrey Epstein has committed no crime.

It should come as no surprise that Mrs. Sternheim is on the case, as she has a long history of defending the indefensible. Sternheim has argued in court that some of the worst criminals in the country deserve leniency, clemency, or to walk out of the courtroom free. A closer look into some of her past clients reveals exactly the type of target market Mrs. Sternheim is looking to represent: ...

Everyone, no matter how disliked by the community, is entitled to a competent defense, and an advocate to speak on their behalf.

Ghislaine Maxwell’s lawyer reveals defense strategy: The Bible, ‘manipulated’ victims and a ‘scapegoat’
By Ben Feuerherd and Tamar Lapin   
November 29, 2021 8:30pm Updated

Ghislaine Maxwell’s defense attorneys on Monday portrayed her as a scapegoat being accused  because of “the bad behavior of men,”  — one in particular — since prosecutors never had a chance to put late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein on trial.

Her lawyer, Bobbi Sternheim, invoked the Bible at the start of her opening statement, arguing that women have been condemned for crimes committed by men  since the beginning of time.

“Ever since Eve was accused of tempting Adam with the apple,” said Sternheim. “Women have been blamed for the bad behavior of men.”

“Ghislaine is on trial here and you heard about the conduct of Jeffrey Epstein. She is filling that hole. And filling an empty chair,” said Sternheim, adding that her client was a “convenient stand-in” for the dead sex offender. ...
NY Post (https://nypost.com/2021/11/29/ghislaine-maxwells-lawyer-says-shes-a-scapegoat-for-jeffrey-epstein/)
But Eve did tempt Adam with the fruit. She wasn't a scapegoat and she wasn't falsely accused.
Quote
Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”

The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”

“You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.

Epstein pilot testifies Maxwell was 'number two' in operation

A former pilot for deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein testified on Tuesday that Ghislaine Maxwell was "number two" among his employees, Reuters reported.

Pilot Lawrence Visoski, who is testifying for the government at Maxwell's sex-abuse trial in Manhattan, said that the 59-year-old British socialite would often contact him to schedule flights for Epstein.

"Ms. Maxwell was number two. Mr. Epstein was a big number one," Visoski told jurors, per Reuters. "She was the one that pretty much handled most of the finance, my expenses, spending in the office," he added.

The FAA accidentally disclosed more than 2,000 flight records associated with Jeffrey Epstein's private jets
Angela Wang
Nov 29, 2021, 1:05 PM

    Insider requested all flight-history data associated with four planes owned by Jeffrey Epstein.
    The FAA rejected the request but later provided the records in response to an unrelated request.
    The new FAA records include hundreds of previously unknown flights made by Epstein's jets.
    They corroborate Insider's reporting on Epstein's travel patterns as documented in court records and flight-signal data.
    A searchable database now contains 2,618 flights made by Epstein's private jets from 1995 to July 6, 2019.

In January 2020, Insider asked the Federal Aviation Administration for all the agency's flight records, including departure and arrival data, associated with a fleet of private jets owned by Jeffrey Epstein. Filed under the Freedom of Information Act, our request seemed to have a decent chance of success: The agency in 2011 released its entire database of US-based flights to The Wall Street Journal.

In March 2020, however, the FAA denied our request, saying that "the responsive records originate from an investigative file" and were therefore exempt from disclosure. The agency cited Exemption 7(A), which Congress designed to shield records that were "compiled for law enforcement" and "could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceeding." The FAA did not specify which enforcement proceeding the records might interfere with; Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's ex-girlfriend and confidante, faces a trial over sex-trafficking charges this month.

But despite its original denial, the FAA inadvertently mailed Insider a portion of Epstein's flight records alongside correspondence for an unrelated FOIA request earlier this year. The records contained data on 2,300 flights among four private jets registered to Epstein between 1998 and 2020. Most of them had appeared in Insider's searchable database of all known flights connected to Epstein.

The new FAA records also reveal 704 previously unknown flights taken by Epstein's planes. These include hundreds of trips from a three-year gap in the public record, from 2013 to 2016, when the jets' movements were unaccounted for. ...

The former house manager of Jeffrey Epstein’s Palm Beach home said on Thursday that Ghislaine Maxwell warned him that he should “never look” his boss in the eyes, describing a work environment where he faced the grim task of cleaning up their sex toys amid stifling micromanagement.

Juan Alessi, who worked at Epstein’s Florida residence from about 1990 to 2002, made the disclosures during his testimony at Maxwell’s child sex-trafficking trial in Manhattan federal court. Alessis’s words painted a portrait of extreme privilege, as well as strict control, and appeared to corroborate some accusers’ allegations against Epstein and Maxwell.

Epstein, a mega-rich financier who counted Prince Andrew and Bill Clinton among his associates, killed himself at a New York City jail in August 2019, pending trial. Maxwell, 59 and the daughter of the deceased British publishing titan Robert Maxwell, was arrested in July 2020 at a sizable New Hampshire estate.

The former British socialite is now on trial on charges related to her alleged participation in Epstein’s sexual abuse of minor girls, some as young as 14. Maxwell has pleaded not guilty.  ...

Epstein had been described as being “in great spirits” during his last interaction with his legal team hours before his death. Epstein was going to cooperate to get bail. This implied Epstein was going to drop names on the global sex ring he ran. He died shortly after.

There is no thing as the "indefensible" when it comes to defending someone against criminal charges.

Everyone, no matter how disliked by the community, is entitled to a competent defense, and an advocate to speak on their behalf.

Just remember, to a substantial number of people on the left, Kyle Rittenhouse was "indefensible".
Just as they are entitled to a presumption of innocence until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

What I believe has no effect on that outcome.

Twitter Bans Account That Posted Updates About Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein Trial
By Tom Pappert  December 8, 2021 at 8:57am

Twitter has banned the popular Maxwell Trial Tracker account from its platform. The account, affiliated with The Free Press Report from the PatriotOne Substack, posted updates about the claims raised in the criminal trial against Maxwell, who is accused of trafficking teenage girls for deceased billionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.  ...

“According to Twitter’s rules, apparently the account was ‘artificially’ amplifying information,” wrote the author. “I am not sure what I was ‘amplifying’ and how I was doing that.”

The Free Press Report revealed that the outlet intends to continue publishing updates on Ghislaine Maxwell on its Substack and on its Gab account, Pelosi Tracker, and promised to continue to cover “all forms of big government and corporate corruption.” ...
National File (https://nationalfile.com/twitter-bans-account-posted-updates-ghislaine-maxwell-jeffrey-epstein-trial/)

Twitter also recently banned @NancyTracker, which monitored Pelosi's shady business dealings and her enormous wealth.

That's what I was thinking.  But, the angle is slightly different, and the trees would not be visible from the "Queen picture."  Look at the ends of the logs framing the shot.

The windows do not seem to match either. At least to my tired old eyes.

The government's become pretty damn comfortable with throwing people in jail for as long as they like.

So, apparently, have we.
Given that she is a flight risk, I have no problem with keeping her in custody. I want her on the stand under oath naming names and answering questions. I want her to have a fair trial and the best defense possible, but if these charges are remotely true than she is an absolute bottom feeder.

Then you'll have to give her immunity from prosecution for any charges that would be based on such information.

As long as it is "Qualified Immunity" That requires her to provide evidence and testimony, I can live with that. I would really love to see the "Usual Suspects" in Orange jump suits and chains doing the perp walk.

Just getting information doesn't guarantee that anyone she talks about will be found guilty.

Classic Democrat investigating Democrat or sympathizer: find all the evidence and witnesses and make it go away.

Recall Janet Reno: "There is no evidence which exists..."


--Which I took to mean they were pretty sure their tracks were all covered.
