Ghislaine Maxwell’s legal team appeared to be struggling to mount her defense Friday and was admonished by the judge in the case for delay, one day after the judge had rejected several of their requests related to witnesses they intended to call. Maxwell’s lawyers said that they would be calling Eva Dubin, the wife of hedge fund manager Glenn Dubin and Jeffrey Epstein’s former girlfriend, as a witness in Maxwell’s trial. Maxwell faces six counts related to the sex trafficking of minors and is accused of recruiting and grooming several girls for Epstein’s abuse between 1994 and 2004. But the defense indicated it was having problems with other witnesses it intends to call. The 81-year-old owner of the Nags Head pub in London, which is across the street from Maxwell’s former home, can’t get to New York before Monday. Another woman identified as Kelly who worked for Epstein and would be expected to plead the Fifth to avoid self incrimination, had so far ignored a federal subpoena. U.S. District Judge Alison Nathan took Maxwell’s lawyers to task for potential delays in bringing their defense.

“This trial is going to put this whole thing to bed, no pun intended.”

That’s what it seems like.

Wasn’t this trial supposed to expose the pedorings among the rich and famous?

I think quite the opposite my dear Mr. Watson. The trial is to cover it all up. It’s the , “look squirrel” distraction trial. The woman will be found guilty. She’ll disappear
The real scum like Clinton will be exonerated. One week after the trial she’ll be found dead in her cell.... Suicide.

Smells like a potential cover up, Keep talkin’ & talk somemore.

[redshawk]

Covered up.... Just like bathhouse Barry. The evil here is very entrenched. I think only God will be able to expose this level of corruption. Honest men do not stand a chance.
