Ghislaine Maxwell Headed for Court in New York, Where James Comey’s Daughter Is on the Case
Los Angelis Magazine ^ | 07/06/2020 | Michele McPhee

Posted on 07/06/2020 1:55:56 PM PDT by OnAMission

Maurene Comey being among the federal prosecutors on the case has raised eyebrows among NYPD detectives assigned to the task force. One detective close to the case told Los Angeles that appointing Comey, an Assistant U.S. Attorney with no experience in human trafficking cases and one with close ties to a bureau that’s come under fire for the handling of the Epstein case in Florida, has an air of “impropriety.” Comey was hired by the Southern District as a clerk in 2014, and became a prosecutor in 2015, an unusually short amount of time to be assigned one of the most high-profile investigations in the country.

What are the chances this is accidental?

Same odds that Maxwell and Epstein didn’t commit suicide ...

Hey, it doesn’t take all that much experience to learn how to destroy and withhold evidence and commit other prosecutorial misconduct. Besides, she’s had dear old dad to mentor her on this!

Maxwell is safe until the election. She is needed to invent a scandal with Trump. Trump who cooperated earlier with an investigation into wealthy pedophiles. The pedos in govt will do anything to protect themselves.

The public documents are signed by Audrey Strauss.

multiple recusals required!

21 Jun: NYT: Trump Fired Her Boss. Now She’s Taking Cases That Incensed White House.
Audrey Strauss has been a behind-the-scenes force in the U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan as it pursued cases against people connected to President Trump
By Benjamin Weiser, Nicole Hong and Ben Protess; Jack Begg contributed research
She will lead politically sensitive investigations into people in Mr. Trump’s orbit in the run-up to a hotly contested election, and her decisions will be scrutinized...
Ms. Strauss’s appointment happened with dizzying speed...
In that role, she will oversee a number of investigations that have upset the president, including the inquiry into whether Rudolph W. Giuliani, Mr. Trump’s lawyer, broke lobbying laws in his dealings in Ukraine...

But Ms. Strauss is likely to remain the acting U.S. attorney until at least the election. The Senate goes out of session in August and is unlikely to hold a nomination hearing for any permanent replacement before November...
When Mr. Berman took over as U.S. attorney in 2018, he brought Ms. Strauss out of retirement to become his senior counsel and later his deputy...
Ms. Strauss and Mr. Berman have known each other for at least three decades. They worked together in the late 1980s on the independent counsel’s investigation into the Iran-contra scandal...

Ms. Strauss’s husband, John “Rusty” Wing, a prominent white-collar defense lawyer, is a registered Republican, according to the most recent records from the New York State Board of Elections. Their son, who previously worked as Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s press secretary, is married to a senior aide to Mr. Cuomo.

Campaign finance records show that Ms. Strauss is a longtime donor to Democratic candidates, including Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign in 2007 and Barack Obama’s re-election campaign in 2012. She contributed in 2006 to Joe Biden’s presidential campaign...

Lindsey Graham, the Republican Senator from South Carolina, praised Ms. Strauss, saying she was “widely viewed as a highly competent, highly capable deputy U.S. attorney with the knowledge and experience to hit the ground running.”
On Friday, Mr. Graham, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, had signaled that he would allow New York’s Democratic senators to block Mr. Trump’s first choice, Mr. Clayton, to replace Mr. Berman...

Ms. Strauss has already supervised sensitive cases from which Mr. Berman had been recused, including an ongoing investigation into Stephen Calk, a Chicago bank executive who served as an economic adviser to Mr. Trump’s campaign.
Mr. Calk was indicted in the Southern District last year after he was accused of giving millions of dollars in high-risk loans to Paul Manafort, Mr. Trump’s former campaign chairman, in an effort to obtain a senior position in the administration. Mr. Calk has pleaded not guilty, and his trial is scheduled to begin in September.
Ms. Strauss was the one who signed the indictment against Mr. Calk.

Because justice in this country is utterly corrupt and the Republican party seems perfectly fine with that.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Most of the Republican party are owned by the deep state.
The president has already appointed 200 new federal judges, with the Democrats utilizing every stalling technique in the book every step of the way, but there are still pockets of infection to be cleaned out.

She has to be kept in jail. If she is released she’ll vanish without a trace, like Hoffa.

Give her a GPS implant.

Maybe we will finally find Hoffa.

the most important articles to keep in mind.
first, by veteran Wash Times reporter, Rowan Scarborough:

10 Dec 2017: Washington Times: Fusion GPS tried to tie Trump to Clinton’s pedophile pal Epstein as part of smear campaign
By Rowan Scarborough
Journalist sources told The Washington Times that Fusion founder Glenn Simpson pushed the idea of a close relationship between Mr. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, who pleaded guilty in 2008 to soliciting sex from an underage girl...

Ken Silverstein, the reporter who ultimately wrote an Epstein-Trump report, confirmed to The Times that Fusion had sourced the story. Mr. Silverstein, founder and editor of WashingtonBabylon.com who wrote the story for Vice.com, defended Mr. Simpson as a solid source of information that must first be confirmed.
For years, Fusion GPS has been an influential hidden hand in Washington, with entree into the city’s most powerful news bureaus.

Ironically, it appears The Times was the first to out Fusion on Jan. 11 as the source of the scandalous dossier that BuzzFeed posted the previous day...
“The New York Times, I know they work with Fusion,” said Mr. Silverstein, an investigative reporter who skewers the left and right. “Fusion works with a lot of big media organizations. That would give them influence in Washington.”...

Mr. Silverstein, who wrote the Vice.Com story, was asked by The Washington Times if Fusion pushed the Epstein-Trump story.
“Since you asked, yes, ***they helped me with that,” Mr. Silverstein said. “But as you can see, I could not make a strong case for Trump being super close to Epstein, so they could hardly have been thrilled with that story.

***[In my humble opinion], that was the best story written about Trump’s ties to Epstein, but I failed to nail him. Trump’s ties were mild compared to Bill Clinton‘s...
“I said Fusion could not have been happy with the Epstein story,” he added. “What I mean is that I never proved a really sleazy connection, so frankly I was disappointed too, I thought there was more (and still wonder)...
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/dec/10/glenn-simpsons-fusion-gps-ran-donald-trump-smear-c/

***the Vice story Fusion GPS helped Silverstein with (keep that in mind as you read it):

29 Jan 2016: Vice: The Salacious Ammo Even Donald Trump Won’t Use in a Fight Against Hillary Clinton
Billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein, who went to prison for soliciting sex from underage girls, once had ties to Bill Clinton. But Trump has good reason to avoid bringing them up, no matter how contentious a campaign battle may get.
by Ken Silverstein
https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/j59vm8/the-salacious-ammo-even-donald-trump-wont-use-in-a-fight-against-hillary-clinton-bill-Clinton

in other words, no matter how hard they tried, they found NOTHING on Trump.

imagine if Fusion GPS involvement in the above becomes widely known as the Maxwell saga continues! make sure it goes viral.

I hope Pres Trump gets out ahead of it.

That is the judge presiding over the Maxwell Ghislaine case. This one really does resemble a “swamp creature”.
