Ghislaine Maxwell faces a critical 'do or die' moment tomorrow when the US government seeks to block her bid for a retrial.
Prince Andrew's close friend Maxwell, 63, who is serving 20 years for child sex offences, has appealed to the US Supreme Court in the hope it will either throw out her conviction or order a retrial.
But tomorrow lawyers for the US government will argue her appeal is 'meritless'.
Last week it was revealed the FBI has dropped any investigation into Prince Andrew – accused by the late Virginia Giuffre of underage sex charges he has denied – and any other men connected to the Jeffrey Epstein case.
It was also reported that Donald Trump's promise to release the full 'Epstein client list' had been dropped, with officials saying 'there is no client list'.
In response Elon Musk wrote on X: 'Then what is Ghislaine Maxwell in prison for?'
Maxwell is said to be 'anxious but hopeful' about tomorrow's hearing. Last night a source said: 'This is a critical moment, a do or die moment. Ghislaine believes she has multiple grounds for appeal.'
A senior DoJ source told the MoS: 'There is a powerful argument for [the Supreme Court] to take on the Maxwell case.'
Maxwell had requested to the Trump administration for an appeal.
In a letter last month, Solicitor General John Sauer requested more time to consider Maxwell's request.
She is the only Epstein associate serving time in prison for their role in the late paedophiles sick network.
Her lawyers and family are yet to appeal directly to the president.
But former Trump friend and attorney Alan Dershowitz previously told the Daily Mail that he would be right to consider it.
He believes the disgraced socialite's 'excessive' 20-year sentence should be commuted...

“If not, she should be released and compensated. If there are, the men that committed the rapes absolutely need to be pursued, charged and convicted.”
The one she trafficked for was sent to jail.
Much more fun to point out your refusal to educate yourself first before commenting. Hell, the reason she is in jail has been posted in this very thread, and you're apparently too lazy to read what's already been spoon fed to you.
So I much prefer to let people like you who don't bother informing yourselves before commenting expose yourself. Separates the wheat from the chaff in terms of who is worth conversing with.
Exactly.

Yes...and already public.
Do you have a link for it?
When the reason she is in prison is publicly available and easily accessible, and someone asks why she is in jail as if that is a profound question, that fits perfectly this definition:
Ignorance: the state or fact of being ignorant : lack of knowledge, education, or awareness.
You clearly lack knowledge and awareness regarding the specific subject on which you are commenting.

I suspect it’s a done deal.
Trump will pardon her on his last day in office as a favor to his best bud Bibi.
She will spend the rest of her days in Israel.
Why don’t you quit insulting people and list you reference. People ridiculing others is, in my opinion, driving people away from FR.
So you think the people who post ridiculous theories because they haven't bothered to do any basic fact-checking at all aren't the problem.
You think the problem is the posters who call them out for doing so.
Here's an idea - rather than ask me to explain why Maxwell is in prison without a client list, why don't you do what I did and just look it up for yourself?
You mean this?
She was found guilty of child sex trafficking and other offences in connection with the deceased financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in 2021
So you want to us to believe she was trafficking underage girls but there aren't men that visit Epstein island that aren't guilty of raping them that should be pursued by the FBI, Bondi and the DOJ?
I have no idea why you think that proves your point.
Because she was convicted of trafficking four girls to be abused by Epstein. Not anyone else. The abuse occured in Epstein's personal residences in New York, Florida, New Mexico, and London.

So why would the absence of a so-called "client list" mean Maxwell couldn't be convicted of procuring girls who were abused by Epstein himself?. It's a nonsensical argument that can be made only by people who didn't bother to learn anything about the trial on which they were commenting.
Only an idiot would believe that she wasn't supplying underage girls to Epstein's visitors on Epstein island and elsewhere as well, including Bill Clinton.

Included in the unsealed papers are the names of about 150 Epstein associates. The documents were filed as part of Virginia Giuffre’s 2015 defamation lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s co-conspirator in his sexual abuse scheme. Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2022. Epstein died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting sex trafficking charges.
Giuffre is one of the women who sued Epstein for abusing them at his homes in Florida, New York, the United States Virgin Islands and New Mexico. She said she was pressured into having sex with men in Epstein’s social orbit.
It's laughable if you actually believe the girls Maxwell was trafficking were only Epstein.

The documents stem from a 2015 civil suit by Virginia Giuffre, who says she was one of the many young girls trafficked by Epstein and his partner, Ghislaine Maxwell.
In her suit against Prince Andrew, she claimed he was one of several powerful men to whom Epstein "lent" her for abuse.
I think people like you are a problem for FR, not your information or insight contribution but your scolding. Quit scolding. Try being positive. Bring people together instead of tearing them down and driving them away. I realize building up is harder than tearing down however, building is more rewarding.
“Quit scolding. Try being positive. Bring people together instead of tearing them down and driving them away.”
Excellent post.
It’s a good question.
