Epstein’s ex-girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell pleads not guilty to new sex trafficking charges
AP via KTLA ^ | 4/23/21

Ghislaine Maxwell faced her trial judge in person for the first time Friday as lawyers squabbled over exactly when she should be tried on sex trafficking charges that allege that she procured teenage girls for Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse at his posh residences.

Maxwell, a British socialite and one-time girlfriend of the financier, pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking conspiracy and an additional sex trafficking charge that were added in a rewritten indictment released last month by a Manhattan federal court grand jury. The new indictment stretched the timespan of the charges from three years to a decade.

Wearing a prison blue short-sleeved smock, Maxwell sat with her lawyers before U.S. District Judge Alison J. Nathan took the bench in a courtroom where everyone wore masks and sat apart from one another to protect against the coronavirus. Members of the media were in the jury box.

Maxwell answered “Yes, your honor” when she was asked if she had seen the indictment and “I have, your honor” when asked if she had ample opportunity to review it.

Her lawyers maintain they need months of additional preparation because of the new charges, making it impossible to keep a July 12 trial date. Prosecutors have said the new charges should not require substantial additional work because they add a single victim to the three already described in the indictment.

Apparently a deal has been worked out where she will not be revealing the name of the powerful politicians she provided for.

She kissed two of her lawyers on the cheek. I find it interesting her behavior reflects that kind of intimacy as a response.

Kisses and more can be forms of payment sometimes.

In exchange, they won’t require her to commit Arkancide.

Meanwhile, the House of Windsor's Epstein Problem may be getting even worse...

Queen on collision course with Charles and William over Prince Andrew's royal future THE QUEEN is on a collision course with leading royals, amid suggestions that the monarch will allow Prince Andrew to launch a royal comeback - much to the frustration of both Prince Charles and William.

Sheryl and the one who released them, would both commit Arkancide too. 😱

My understanding too.

When does a bird sing?
NOBODY is safe.
NO DEALS.

The only exception AFAIK is some may exchange death with singing if they can sing a loud enough song.

I’m understanding more and more how LITERALLY true it is.

I did not know that not a single dime of taxes paid to the IRS, since 1913, go to government services of ANY kind. They go directly to one of three entities: 1, Crown of England, 2, FED shareholders and 3, IRS employees. (see Grace Commission; especially what Reagan said about it).

She didn’t just procure fo Epstein, she was doing the girls too. Funny how that just goes away here.

Agree. If she hadn’t she’d have committed assisted suicide by now.

It appears her attorneys are in bed with the DOJ. She should be allowed to tell her story and name names and let the chips fall where they may. The government wants to keep her silent by any means necessary.
