Does It Mean Something That The SDNY’s Public Corruption Unit Is Handling Ghislaine Maxwell’s Case?
Hot Air ^ | 2 July 2020 | ALLAHPUNDIT

The public interest in seeing this degenerate arrested is a 50/50 mix of wanting her to suffer for her crimes and wanting to see if she rolls over on anyone else in Epstein’s circle.

Lotta suspense on that last point. Lotta big names potentially in the mix. Strong, powerful names. The biggest!

Former prosecutor Elie Honig got some attention with this comment, noting the fine print in the DOJ’s press release that the Southern District of New York’s Public Corruption Unit will be handling Maxwell’s prosecution. Public corruption? Isn’t this a sex-crimes case?

Hmmm. Ken White, a former federal prosecutor himself, questioned Honig about that. Isn’t it true that in some U.S. Attorney’s offices the Public Corruption Unit gets handed the complicated stuff even if there isn’t a public official in the crosshairs? Honig’s reply:

Another former federal prosecutor added an important footnote:

So maybe the Maxwell case was handed to the PCU early in the belief that it might eventually implicate a public official. But that doesn’t mean that it has, or will. They might be staying with the case simply because they’re more familiar with the facts and the law at this point than any other office in the building.

Naturally lefties are pointing a finger at Trump today while righties are pointing a finger at Bill Clinton. The talented Mr. Epstein was a known associate of not one but two U.S. presidents, after all. But if there’s a “public official” at risk here, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s Trump or Clinton. Remember that Epstein was pursued by the feds in 2007 for sex crimes and somehow ended up with a deal so insanely favorable that it might pose a problem for prosecuting Maxwell.

It likely means she has an expiration date.

Weren’t these same people the one who were handling Jeffery Epstein’s case? If so, there had better be major concern for the safety of Ghislaine Maxwell.

Maxwell between beefy guys in car back seat. "Hey, you missed the turnoff. This isn't the way to the prison."

Guy: "Relax, lady. We're just takin' the scenic route."

“It likely means she has an expiration date.“
***********************************************
Ghislaine Maxwell will not have committed suicide upon her expiration date.

Agreed, Ann. Nothing serious will happen to "Maxwell." Just as when it came to prosecuting Epstein in Florida the first time around and the prosecutor was told to back off because Epstein was "intelligence." Mossad won't allow anything to happen to their golden girl. If Berman being jettisoned had something to do with this case, either he was too zealous or he was caught feeding her inside info.

Ghislaine Maxwell’s expiration date for her upcoming suicide-by-Hillary is now overdue.

The rich and powerful will be protected, whether it requires her demise or a sweetheart deal. There are people who can’t be touched by the criminal justice apparatus.

SDNY arranged the circumstances that inevitably facilitated Epstein’s “suicide“

Anyone investigating this case better watch their backs. They might get robbed and shot and still have their Rolex and other valuables on them, or suddenly commit an unplanned suicide.

A book by conservative authors Alana Goodman and Daniel Halper claims former President Bill Clinton had a 'years-long' affair with Ghislaine Maxwell....the two “were getting it on,” and that Clinton “used” Epstein to carry on the affair.

The source explained that reporters have been missing the point about the Clinton-Epstein relationship by focusing on Epstein’s sex crimes. ‘[Clinton’s] stupid but not an idiot,” the source, who reportedly witnessed the affair, told Goodman and Halper, according to an excerpt of the book published in the New York Post.
