Judge Orders Release of Epstein Flight Logs in Ghislaine Maxwell Lawsuit
Breitbart ^ | 7/23/2020 | Joshua Caplan

A federal judge in Manhattan on Thursday approved the unsealing of documents from a civil lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell — the alleged madam of deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein — as the British socialite faces charges for enticing minors to engage in illegal sexual activities.

Reuters reports:

Over Maxwell’s objections, U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska in Manhattan said the presumption the public has a right to access large portions of the more than 80 documents at issue outweighed Maxwell’s arguments for keeping them under wraps, including that they could prove embarrassing. […]

Preska also said personal identifying information contained in the documents, as well as the names of many “non-parties,” will be redacted. […]

They include flight logs from Epstein’s private jets, deposition testimony in 2016 in which Maxwell’s lawyers said she was asked “intrusive” questions about her sex life, and police reports from Palm Beach, Florida, where Epstein had a home.

The records are a part of a lawsuit brought by Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre against Maxwell that was settled in 2017.

One of Epstein’s most famous guests aboard his private jet is former President Bill Clinton, as Breitbart News previously noted:

Fox News reported in May 2016 that Clinton went on at least 26 trips aboard Epstein’s plane — the “Lolita Express” — between 2001 and 2003, according to flight logs from the Federal Aviation Administration. Listed as the destination for those trips were exotic locales like the Azores, Singapore, Brunei, Norway, and Russia, among others.

On at least five of those excursions, the flight logs denote that Clinton was not accompanied by any Secret Service personnel. The former president, though, did occasionally travel in the company of Maxwell and Sarah Kellen, Epstein’s former assistant.

Thursday’s ruling comes as federal authorities continue to hold Maxwell without bail since her

If his name isn't on them, it will be added.

If this comes out and Mr. Clinton doesn’t come out looking good, that will be end of Skunk Cabbage’s attempted comeback.

I think some lawyer should go to this judge and tell her privately that her name is on the logs. Kind of like Elliot Ness’s trick in “The Untouchables”.

A judge from Manhattan may only be doing this HOPING that at lease ONCE Trump was on the flight log. At this point, Democrats are willing to take down anyone else just in a desperate wish that they can use this against Trump. My bet is that even is there is an “unidentified passenger”, they will claim that they evidence that it is Trump and that will be headlines for a few weeks, realizing that the truth will be reported on page 73 several weeks later.

So basically, other than times and locations, it’s going to be a bunch of black permanent marker lines. No personal identifying information = names

“President Clinton didn’t lie in that instance. He purposely used the term “sexual relations” not sex when he issued the denial. That term had a specific definition in that jurisdiction that did not include the act in which he had engaged. He is a lot of things, but stupid isn’t among them.”
