Pandora's Box, anyone? https://www.npr.org/2020/10/20/9257...hislaine-maxwells-deposition-can-t-remain-sec Ghislaine Maxwell, seen here at center right with the disgraced late financier Jeffrey Epstein, gave a deposition in 2016 that should be released, an appeals court says. Maxwell is seen here with Epstein and others a party at the Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach. A federal court has cleared the path to unseal the transcript of Ghislaine Maxwell's deposition from 2016,a lengthy document that may shed light on the sex trafficking operation she allegedly ran with the late Jeffrey Epstein that catered to rich and powerful men. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit affirmed a federal judge's ruling from July, saying the lower court was correct to reject "meritless arguments" from Maxwell, who is accused of procuring young girls for Epstein. The mandate is a victory for Virginia Giuffre, who has publicly accused Maxwell, Epstein and others of sexually abusing her when she was a minor. It's not yet clear when the transcript will be released. Maxwell has denied the allegations against her, including under sworn testimony. But prosecutors say she helped Epstein sexually abuse dozens of underage girls. And in July, Maxwell, 58, was charged on several counts related to sex trafficking of minors and perjury. She has pleaded not guilty in that case. Giuffre has won the release of many other documents related to a now-settled defamation suit against Maxwell, including Giuffre's account of how she fell into Epstein and Maxwell's orbit while she was a teenager working at Mar-a-Lago, the Florida resort owned by future president Donald Trump. Maxwell's deposition is one of the key documents that have not yet been released in the case, after U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska granted a stay to allow Maxwell's legal team time to appeal. In an attempt to keep the transcript from being revealed, Maxwell argued that "her interests outweigh the public's interests," the three-judge panel wrote in their order. "We have reviewed all of the arguments raised by Defendant-Appellant Maxwell on appeal and find them to be without merit," the judges stated. The appeals court also denied Maxwell's request to consolidate the appeal over the defamation documents with other legal battles she is waging. And the court said that any other appeals in the complicated and long-running case should be made to the same appeals court, which is based in New York. Epstein never faced a federal trial over the crimes of which he was accused. Roughly a month after his arrest on sex-trafficking charges in 2019, he died after being found unresponsive in his jail cell in Manhattan. His death at age 66 was ruled a suicide. Accusations against Epstein have long been obscured by legal maneuvers — such as a controversial nonprosecution agreement he reached in 2007 with federal prosecutors in Florida. That plea deal with then-U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta exposed Epstein to state charges but prevented him and any co-conspirators from being prosecuted for federal sex crimes in southern Florida.
Hunter Biden was there......... Giuffre has won the release of many other documents related to a now-settled defamation suit against Maxwell, including Giuffre's account of how she fell into Epstein and Maxwell's orbit while she was a teenager working at Mar-a-Lago, the Florida resort owned by future president Donald Trump.
Ghislaine Maxwell Deposition, Discussing Sex Life and Jeffrey Epstein, Ordered Released by Thursday at 9 a.m. https://www.thedailybeast.com/ghisl...rey-epstein-ordered-released-thursday-at-9-am
Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre tweeted QAnon slogans just before new Ghislaine Maxwell evidence is due to be unsealed https://www.insider.com/epstein-acc...uffre-qanon-slogans-ghislaine-maxwell-2020-10 Virginia Giuffre Roberts, a woman accusing sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his alleged madam Ghislaine Maxwell of underage sex trafficking, shared QAnon slogans on Wednesday and Thursday. QAnon is a baseless far-right conspiracy theory that claims President Donald Trump is secretly fighting a "deep state" cabal of satanic pedophiles and cannibals. The posts come as an appeals court in New York prepares to unseal hundreds of pages of testimony by Maxwell, in which she details her personal relationship with Epstein. Social media companies, including Twitter, have been trying to limit the spread of QAnon content. Virginia Roberts Giuffre, a woman who has accused Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell of underage sex trafficking, tweeted a series of slogans and a graphic related to QAnon ahead of a scheduled document drop in the case. An appeals court in New York is preparing to unseal hundreds of pages of Maxwell's testimonies about her relationship with Epstein, the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender. They are due to be published by 9 a.m. New York time on Thursday. Maxwell, who is accused of procuring underage girls for Epstein, recently lost a legal battle to keep her depositions from being used in Giuffre's criminal case against her. Ahead of Thursday's document unsealing, Giuffre shared an graphic of a young girl and a teddy bear inside a giant "Q" — with the words "We've Awoken, Stop Pedophilia" inside. QAnon is a baseless far-right conspiracy theory that claims President Donald Trump is secretly fighting a "deep state" cabal of satanic pedophiles and cannibals. Giuffre in her tweet added hashtags that had been co-opted by QAnon followers, such as #TheGreatAwakeningWorldWide and #SaveTheChildren. On Wednesday night, Giuffre also reshared a post containing the hashtags #WWG1WGA — an acronym for the QAnon slogan, "where we go one, we go all" — and #MAGA, the Trump campaign slogan that's short for "Make America Great Again." Social media companies have been trying to crack down on QAnon-related content, but members have been circumventing bans to keep the movement active. Twitter, where Giuffre shared her messages, announced in July that it would begin cracking down on QAnon-related accounts and messages. However, The Washington Post reported in early October that there were still tens of thousands of active Twitter profiles that referenced QAnon in their profiles.
Might something be revealed in these documents that will seriously impact the election, something that removes all doubt? We'll know shortly. What we do know is there are documented connections between Epstein and Trump, but none between Biden and Epstein. Edge goes to Biden on any new dirt being unearthed damaging to Trump. Anything Clinton related won't move the needle.
