Ghislaine Maxwell offers to give up UK and French citizenship for bail
BBC ^ | feb 24 | BBC

British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell has offered to give up her UK and French citizenship in exchange for bail.

Ms Maxwell is accused of helping the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein groom young girls, which she denies. She is due to stand trial in July.

In a court filing, her lawyers said she had no desire to leave the US.

She would be willing to renounce her foreign citizenship "to eliminate any opportunity for her to seek refuge in those countries", the filing added.

Her lawyers also proposed that her and her husband's assets be placed in a monitored account, to prevent her being able to use the money to leave the country.

Ms Maxwell has been in jail in Brooklyn, New York, since she was arrested last July at her secluded mansion in the state of New Hampshire.

This is her third application for bail, after two previous attempts were unsuccessful.

In her last bid for bail in December, her lawyers proposed that she be allowed to return home with armed guards to prevent her from escaping.

Prosecutors then said there was a risk that, if bailed, Ms Maxwell could use her wealth to flee to France or the UK where she is a citizen and suggested she might try to avoid extradition.

Does she get conjugal visits with Bill Clinton at her current jail in NYC?

Ghislaine did not kill herself, no matter what paedophile BiXiden says.

Why would she renounce citizenship in the People’s Republics of Europe?

Don’t know about Britain, but France will not extradite French citizens. See Roman Polanski who is still making films and winning awards in France. (Of course his case didn’t really involve “rape rape” according to legal scholar and philosopher Whoopi Goldberg).

So how many citizenships DOES she have?

Is US one?

And, you cannot renounce UK citizenship. Well, you can, but you are still a citizen.

I’m surprised she is not in Biden’s cabinet. Chomos of a feather molest young girls together.

Maxwell wants out of her jail cell. Now, the Constitution guarantees a speedy trial. The Supreme Court has since ruled that a “speedy trial” means within six months (it should be way less than that, but that’s another story).

Maxwell hasn’t gotten her speedy trial. She must have waived that right for some reason. I wonder why.

NO. No way. At the minimum, it makes her look ‘less guilty’ when she’s bailed. The much greater likelihood is that if she’s bailed, Mossad will get her out of the country. Like the same day.

If they let her out on bail, it will be a lot easier for her to “commit suicide” before the trial.

She is Israeli also? Mossad like her father? Me thinks she has more passports than Jason Bourne!

Off to Israel. She will “die” in a boating accident along the way.

If she cuts a deal to give up Earth citizenship, it depends.

As long as she gives up her above ground citizenship, she can have all the remainder.

Really, since the murder of Jeffrey Epstein, it is going to be very difficult to prosecute the real offenders: Bill Clinton et al the perverts. In the overall scheme of things Maxwell is small potatoes. She will offer up the names of the small fry, but the big fish will get away.
