Ghislaine Maxwell’s judge tells her lawyers to move it along or rest their case

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.

Six counts after years and years of grooming and sex trafficking. Who are they trying to kid?

It’s all Kabuki theatre. The highest levels of several Gov’ts are neck deep in it.

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

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

Ghislaine will be convicted, nothing will be “exposed” except what she has been accused of, she’ll toddle off to jail for awhile, and that will be the end of it. It’s the perfect way to fool the public into thinking the pedo ring was justly dealt with, and protect all of the higher ups.

“toddle off to jail for awhile”

Followed by the accidental fall while hiking in the mountains.

Yep, it smells funny

Well, if the did, we would not yet know about it.

Guess we will wait and see. These are very evil people, but there is no doubt many of their customers were wealthy or connected. (i.e. above the Law, like the #ComDem's are)

Defense has had a long time to get his witnesses organized.
This is the same defense team that said there would be around 35 witnessess called to the stand to defend Ms Maxwell.

Apparently,more than a few people on that long list are in no great hurry to get pulled into this whirlpool.
I thought from the start that 35 witnessess was way too many to be effective. The jury stops really paying attention after the first few.

The way I see it? She does not testify, she stays alive. She is found guilty, she does about ten years at Alderson in West Virginia.

No.
That is what it was orchestrated to prevent.
Maxwell, her lawyers, and the prosecutor all know that Epstein didn't kill it himself and they would very much like to not join him in not-suicide.

I don’t think if she’s convicted she gets just 10 years.

Judge Nathan has already rejected every bail request from Maxwells attorneys.

Judge Nathan is an Obama appointee. She;s nominated for appeals court by Biden. You can count on everything being covered up.

I'm sure the Epstein and Maxwell arrests/deaths will have no effect on the pedo elite. Their replacements are probably already in place and picking up where Epstein/Maxwell left off.

I prefer an accidental drowning like her pappy by Mossad followed by a state funeral for a job well done!
