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.” ... Rest of story

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

So, apparently, have we.

Maxwell Trial Tracker
@TrackerTrial
We are tracking the Ghislaine Maxwell trial. All major media outlets are silent on it. Big-named politicians are using their power within to silence the truth

It already looks interesting:

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

Looks like Bill spent as much as 8 days straight with these people, traveling all over the middle east, Africa, China, you name it - along with a squad of U.S. Secret Service agents on our dime.

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.

The trial won't be televised, 

True, but an audio feed will apparently be made available that the public can access.  When it's set up, it should be posted on the DOJ webpage for the case:  https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/united-states-v-ghislaine-maxwell (prior hearings had a publicly-available audio feed; the access code changes for each event, however).

The trial won't be televised,

...and the Press (stop laughing!) is barred from the courtroom by the Judge.

Judge Nathan has granted Ghislaine Maxwell's request that evidence in the trial be redacted to hide 'sensational and impure' information.
One week before the trial began, Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden nominated Judge Nathan to higher office in the US 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals.

Anything looking funny here?
Not funny ha ha, funny queer! 8-)

"The federal judge over the Ghislaine Maxwell case is Alison Nathan, an Obama appointee who worked as a special assistant and counsel in the Obama White House”

Then There is this:

Maurene Comey, was involved in the lost video of Jeffrey Epstein’s first alleged attempted suicide in jail, and now she’s a member of the team prosecuting Epstein’s confidante Ghislaine 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: ...

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".
