Prosecutors Reveal Grand Jury Investigation Linked to Ghislaine Maxwell
Breitbart ^ | 8/21/2020 | Joshua Caplan

U.S. prosecutors leading the criminal case against Ghislaine Maxwell — the alleged longtime madam of Jeffrey Epstein — have requested that a judge refrain from making public certain documents due to an ongoing grand jury probe.

Bloomberg News notes:

“The grand jury investigation is active and ongoing,” and resulted in charges filed in July, the prosecutors said in a letter to U.S. District Judge Alison Nathan Friday. They didn’t provide any details of the investigation, but offered to provide them for the judge to review privately.

The revelation comes as Maxwell’s legal team seeks to use “critical new information” to prevent the release of her 2016 deposition brought as part of a now-settled lawsuit by alleged Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre the year prior.

Maxwell has been jailed in MDC Brooklyn without bail since July 2, when she was arrested at her New Hampshire home and charged with enticing minors to engage in illegal sexual activities. The 58-year-old faces up to 35 years behind bars if convicted.

Maxwell has pleaded not guilty to charges that she recruited three girls, including one who was 14, and joined Epstein in their abuse in the 1990s.

If the person(s) have already been charged then the public needs to know who, do not protect the elites.

Obama-era Secy of State Hillary Clinton “gifted” Ghislaine Maxwell’s nephew, Alexander Djerassi, an enviable resume-enhancing position within her department when he was just out of college and gave him “special treatment.”

A State Department spokesperson told a reporter that Djerassi served as a “Staff Assistant” from May 2009 to June 2012. The Daily Beast could not confirm whether the role was in fact “gifted” by Clinton.

The reports come as Maxwell, 58, awaits trial in a Brooklyn federal lockup for allegedly grooming and trafficking girls for Epstein.

The report also appears to reference Djerassi’s LinkedIn profile, which lists his role as chief of staff for the “Office of the Assistant Secretary of State, Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs” from May 2011 to June 2012. Djerassi served as special assistant to the office from May 2009 to May 2011, his online profile says.

Djerassi’s name also popped up in a collection of Clinton’s emails hacked via WikiLeaks. In a November 2011 message, Assistant Secretary Jeffrey Feltman referred to his “special assistant, Alex Djerassi.” Feltman mentioned Djerassi again in a January 2012 email, according to WikiLeaks.

Djerassi was also a nonresident associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. A biography on the endowment’s website states Djerassi’s research “focused on Tunisia and U.S. foreign policy toward the Middle East and North Africa.” The bio adds, “From 2009 to 2012, Djerassi was chief of staff and special assistant in the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, covering U.S. relations with Arab states, Israel, and Iran. He worked on matters relating to democratization and civil society in the Arab world, the Arab uprisings, and Israeli-Palestinian peace.”

“Djerassi has served as a U.S. representative to the Friends of Libya conferences, Friends of the Syrian People conferences, U.S.-GCC Strategic Coordination Forum, and several UN General Assemblies,” the profile concludes.

The role at the State Department wasn’t the nephew’s only Clinton-related gig.

From September 2007 to June 2008, Djerassi was a policy associate for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. He listed his job duties as such: “Researched and drafted memos, briefings, and policy papers for candidate, senior staff, and news media on wide range of domestic and foreign policy issues. Prepared for more than 20 debates.”

(Note that in late 2007, Epstein was under investigation for trafficking girls in Palm Beach and working on a secret plea deal with federal prosecutors. Maxwell is believed to be one accomplice who was protected under the controversial agreement.)

Wait a minute.

I was told by the wise brahmans of FreeRepublic that nothing was happening, nothing would ever happen, and Bagpipes Barr was covering up derp malfeasance because he was a derp state mole.

This can't be true. There are no grand juries.

This is a different Grand Jury, Q-Ball. It has nothing to do with Durham.

Yea, I know derptard.

But I was told that Bagpipes Barr wouldn't go after anybody but Trump people cause he's derp state. And that he was put in place to bury the shenanigans of the bad guys.

I swear I was told that by the know-it-alls here on Free Republic. Maybe even by you.
