Ghislaine Maxwell's trial starts Monday
NBC ^ | Nov 26 | By Tom Winter, Sarah Fitzpatrick and Corky Siemaszko

Posted on 11/26/2021 5:09:45 PM PST by RandFan

The long-awaited trial of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s confidant Ghislaine Maxwell, getting underway Monday, can be likened to an iceberg — many of the unanswered questions about their alleged enterprise will remain hidden, for now.

Maxwell, a British socialite who insists she is innocent, is not likely to face questions about allegedly helping Epstein arrange “dates” with women over the age of 18 for a constellation of rich and powerful men. She is also not likely to be questioned about the allegations from an alleged victim who said in a civil lawsuit that Maxwell trafficked her to Britain’s Prince Andrew when she was 17. He has denied the allegations.

Nor is it likely the prosecution will be allowed to delve too deeply into the social and business relationships of Epstein, a multimillionaire financier, with other bold-faced names like former Presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, and Ohio billionaire Leslie Wexner.

Instead, U.S. District Judge Alison Nathan of the Southern District of New York has limited the scope of federal prosecutors by focusing the case against the British socialite-turned-suspect specifically on allegations that she helped Epstein recruit and abuse four underage girls mostly in the 1990s.

“This is going to be a narrow slice of what happened,” said civil attorney Dan Kaiser, who represents several alleged Epstein victims though none involved in this particular trial. “This is a ring that ensnared dozens and dozens and dozens of girls. And Maxwell was an integral player. You could say she was Epstein’s chief operating officer.”

What should the jury's decision be to get out the maximum Dirt?

Wouldn’t be surprised if she commits “suicide” before she can testify.

Not if NY gets a lockdown going by then because we need 15 days to flatten the curve that Omicron is going to cause.

I don't expect much with demonicRATS in charge of the trial.

I don’t think it makes it to the jury.
She’s going to “kill herself”…

Depending on how the trial goes and what comes out, Ghislaine might be compelled to commit suicide.

If Billy Boy had been involved with underage girls she would have been whacked already.

There’s several Tweater accounts claiming they will live blog so we’ll see how that goes. Are spectator mobile phones allowed in the courtroom? Or do they run outside at recess times?

But 26 documented flights with Epstein and Maxwell has to produce some useful dirt, no?

I would be surprised if phones were allowed in the courtroom.
Hopefully someone here that knows chimes in.

Dirt has nothing to do with it.

You need to be more alert. The deep state wants you to think we’re looking for “dirt.”

What we’re looking for is truth.

Not dirt.
