00:00:07.849 --> 00:00:10.869
<v Speaker 1>What's up everyone, and welcome to another episode of the

2
00:00:10.970 --> 00:00:17.780
<v Speaker 1>Epstein Chronicles. Yesterday, Judge Paul Engelmeyer absolutely devastated Ghislaine Maxwell

3
00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:22.940
<v Speaker 1>and her attempt to get her sentence overturned. And when

4
00:00:22.980 --> 00:00:25.500
<v Speaker 1>I tell you that he decimated her in this ruling,

5
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:30.260
<v Speaker 1>I'm not kidding around. And he basically told Ghislaine Maxwell

6
00:00:30.300 --> 00:00:33.450
<v Speaker 1>that the party's over. There's no more appeals, there's nowhere

7
00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:36.229
<v Speaker 1>else to go, and anything that she files from here

8
00:00:36.289 --> 00:00:39.759
<v Speaker 1>on out is going to be considered frivolous. And we

9
00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:43.140
<v Speaker 1>have the actual opinion from Judge Engelmeyer, and we're going

10
00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:45.640
<v Speaker 1>to get to that as well. But first, we have

11
00:00:45.659 --> 00:00:50.210
<v Speaker 1>an article from ABC News talking about the situation. Headline,

12
00:00:50.770 --> 00:00:55.170
<v Speaker 1>Judge rejects Ghislaine Maxwell's frivolous attempt to overturn conviction. This

13
00:00:55.229 --> 00:00:59.829
<v Speaker 1>article was authored by Aaron Katursky and James Hill. A

14
00:00:59.869 --> 00:01:03.060
<v Speaker 1>federal judge in New York on Tuesday rejected Ghislaine Maxwell's

15
00:01:03.100 --> 00:01:07.739
<v Speaker 1>challenge to her conviction, finding her claims meritless or frivolous. Well,

16
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:09.939
<v Speaker 1>what do you know? I mean, it's almost as if

17
00:01:09.980 --> 00:01:13.180
<v Speaker 1>Glenn Maxwell's bitch ass is guilty, huh? And what's crazy

18
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:15.840
<v Speaker 1>is that normal people don't get this many chances to

19
00:01:15.900 --> 00:01:19.439
<v Speaker 1>appeal their sentence, right? I mean, either you don't have

20
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:21.890
<v Speaker 1>the money or you run out of road, whatever it

21
00:01:21.930 --> 00:01:24.870
<v Speaker 1>might be. Yet we have Glenn Maxwell here on her

22
00:01:24.909 --> 00:01:29.049
<v Speaker 1>like 35th attempt to get this conviction overturned. And I

23
00:01:29.069 --> 00:01:32.930
<v Speaker 1>just find the whole entire thing to be ridiculous. Maxwell

24
00:01:32.950 --> 00:01:36.030
<v Speaker 1>was trying to vacate her conviction and 20-year prison sentence.

25
00:01:36.730 --> 00:01:40.439
<v Speaker 1>Maxwell was convicted of five felony counts, all arising from

26
00:01:40.469 --> 00:01:44.379
<v Speaker 1>her participation with Jeffrey Epstein in the sexual abuse of

27
00:01:44.420 --> 00:01:47.379
<v Speaker 1>young girls over the course of a decade. A federal

28
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:50.840
<v Speaker 1>appeals court upheld her conviction and the U.S. Supreme Court

29
00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:54.000
<v Speaker 1>declined to take up her petition. And at that point,

30
00:01:54.060 --> 00:01:56.579
<v Speaker 1>you would think that Ghislaine Maxwell would understand that it's

31
00:01:56.599 --> 00:01:59.819
<v Speaker 1>not going to happen for her. The Supreme Court told

32
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:02.719
<v Speaker 1>you to get stuffed. But when you have her kind

33
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:06.359
<v Speaker 1>of money and her kind of narcissism, She truly can't

34
00:02:06.379 --> 00:02:10.039
<v Speaker 1>fathom why she's in the position that she's in. Remember,

35
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:14.000
<v Speaker 1>this is a woman with no remorse and no empathy

36
00:02:14.060 --> 00:02:17.180
<v Speaker 1>for the people who were actually harmed. She sees herself

37
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:21.909
<v Speaker 1>as a victim. In her perverse world, she's a victim too.

38
00:02:22.490 --> 00:02:24.969
<v Speaker 1>And that's why you see her playing the victim in

39
00:02:25.090 --> 00:02:27.909
<v Speaker 1>all of these different appeals. Oh, I was wrong. I

40
00:02:27.930 --> 00:02:30.710
<v Speaker 1>had no idea what was going on. Yes, you did.

41
00:02:31.270 --> 00:02:33.150
<v Speaker 1>Not only did you have an idea what was going on,

42
00:02:33.610 --> 00:02:38.280
<v Speaker 1>you were taking part. In court filings, Maxwell argued, documents

43
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:42.539
<v Speaker 1>released in the Epstein files supported her claims of constitutional violations.

44
00:02:43.219 --> 00:02:46.759
<v Speaker 1>But U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmeyer said her claims were

45
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:54.500
<v Speaker 1>all meritless and all, or almost all, were meritless and frivolous. Well, look,

46
00:02:54.539 --> 00:02:57.039
<v Speaker 1>you don't have to be some kind of constitutional scholar

47
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:01.569
<v Speaker 1>to know that Ghislaine Maxwell was bullshitting around. This woman

48
00:03:01.610 --> 00:03:04.810
<v Speaker 1>had no leg to stand on, no tenable ground to defend,

49
00:03:05.949 --> 00:03:09.610
<v Speaker 1>And if you think that the Epstein files exonerate Ghislaine Maxwell,

50
00:03:10.770 --> 00:03:15.270
<v Speaker 1>then you, my friend, are probably smoking toad venom. Because

51
00:03:15.289 --> 00:03:19.240
<v Speaker 1>it does the opposite. What we see in those files

52
00:03:19.590 --> 00:03:22.939
<v Speaker 1>confirms everything that we've known about this woman for all

53
00:03:22.979 --> 00:03:28.580
<v Speaker 1>these years. And imagine being so tone deaf, so absolutely moronic,

54
00:03:29.060 --> 00:03:30.659
<v Speaker 1>that you think you're going to use those files to

55
00:03:30.699 --> 00:03:34.439
<v Speaker 1>get you out of the position you're in, considering what

56
00:03:34.469 --> 00:03:37.120
<v Speaker 1>you've done. And considering the evidence we have to back

57
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:42.680
<v Speaker 1>that up? And the purported new evidence to which Maxwell points,

58
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:47.219
<v Speaker 1>principally materials released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, is

59
00:03:47.259 --> 00:03:50.680
<v Speaker 1>largely irrelevant to the charges against Maxwell and does not

60
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:54.060
<v Speaker 1>support her claims of error, the judge wrote. On the contrary,

61
00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:58.520
<v Speaker 1>to the extent it is relevant, far from exculpating her,

62
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:02.180
<v Speaker 1>it incriminates her or reinforces the correctness of the legal

63
00:04:02.219 --> 00:04:07.449
<v Speaker 1>rulings Maxwell challenges. One hundred percent. Every single thing that

64
00:04:07.469 --> 00:04:11.930
<v Speaker 1>Ghislaine Maxwell was yapping about is a lie. Everything she's

65
00:04:12.009 --> 00:04:14.729
<v Speaker 1>up to is a lie or based on a lie.

66
00:04:15.650 --> 00:04:18.620
<v Speaker 1>And every last thing that she told Todd Blanche when

67
00:04:18.649 --> 00:04:23.199
<v Speaker 1>they had their little fireside chat was self-serving and a lie.

68
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:27.160
<v Speaker 1>And there's still people out there who think that Ghislaine

69
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:30.079
<v Speaker 1>Maxwell got a raw deal. Oh, it was such a

70
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:33.800
<v Speaker 1>large trafficking network. Why is Ghislaine Maxwell the only one

71
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:37.769
<v Speaker 1>in jail? Well, because she's the only one they investigated, stupid.

72
00:04:38.870 --> 00:04:41.769
<v Speaker 1>Is it fun being a Muppet? Do you have a

73
00:04:41.790 --> 00:04:46.589
<v Speaker 1>good time being so stupid? If they would have investigated

74
00:04:46.629 --> 00:04:48.509
<v Speaker 1>this case the way they should have, the way they

75
00:04:48.529 --> 00:04:52.040
<v Speaker 1>would have investigated you, well, it would have been a

76
00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:58.500
<v Speaker 1>whole ass different story. Associates of Maxwell did not immediately

77
00:04:58.540 --> 00:05:02.519
<v Speaker 1>respond to a request for comment on the judge's ruling. well,

78
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:04.360
<v Speaker 1>you can expect them to have a whole bunch to

79
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:08.759
<v Speaker 1>say at some point, especially her brother. And I'm sure

80
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:11.579
<v Speaker 1>that that lawyer of hers, David Marcus, will have a

81
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:14.339
<v Speaker 1>pearl of wisdom or two to share with us as well. Because,

82
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:18.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, everybody wants to hear from Team Maxwell. In

83
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:22.300
<v Speaker 1>his 67-page ruling, Engelmeyer rejected each of what he called

84
00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:25.490
<v Speaker 1>the ten principal claims that Maxwell raised in what he

85
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:28.769
<v Speaker 1>referred to as her lengthy and meandering pro se petition

86
00:05:29.250 --> 00:05:35.939
<v Speaker 1>and supplemental filings containing similarly discursive addenda. Engelmeyer denied her

87
00:05:35.980 --> 00:05:39.939
<v Speaker 1>petition without the evidentiary hearing that Maxwell sought. So she

88
00:05:39.980 --> 00:05:42.819
<v Speaker 1>wanted to present more evidence to the court and Judge

89
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:47.600
<v Speaker 1>Engelmeyer basically told her in this ruling that we're not

90
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:49.300
<v Speaker 1>having that. You're not doing that. We don't need to

91
00:05:49.339 --> 00:05:51.939
<v Speaker 1>hear from you. The court doesn't need to see whatever

92
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:55.060
<v Speaker 1>evidence you say you have because we've seen the evidence

93
00:05:55.100 --> 00:06:00.620
<v Speaker 1>already and you're not getting out. That's what Judge Engelmeyer

94
00:06:00.660 --> 00:06:05.120
<v Speaker 1>told her. And he had a 67-page ruling discussing why

95
00:06:05.149 --> 00:06:07.759
<v Speaker 1>he told her that. So we're definitely diving into that,

96
00:06:07.819 --> 00:06:11.660
<v Speaker 1>believe it. Because I think that Judge Engelmeyer's on point

97
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:14.199
<v Speaker 1>with all of the things he was talking about in

98
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:17.319
<v Speaker 1>regard to Maxwell and why she shouldn't be leaving jail

99
00:06:17.579 --> 00:06:23.040
<v Speaker 1>or prison. I think that he's on point. Maxwell had

100
00:06:23.100 --> 00:06:26.240
<v Speaker 1>argued in an amended petition filed in April that documents

101
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:31.000
<v Speaker 1>released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act had exposed constitutional

102
00:06:31.019 --> 00:06:36.500
<v Speaker 1>issues and legal violations that rendered her 2021 conviction invalid, unsafe,

103
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:40.800
<v Speaker 1>and infirm. The only thing that's invalid, unsafe, and infirm

104
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:47.040
<v Speaker 1>is your narrative. Well, and little girls around you. But

105
00:06:47.100 --> 00:06:53.430
<v Speaker 1>save the nonsense. Invalid, unsafe, infirm. Enjoy your time eating Chick-fil-A,

106
00:06:53.610 --> 00:06:56.350
<v Speaker 1>playing with puppies, and ruling the roost down in Texas.

107
00:06:56.930 --> 00:06:59.470
<v Speaker 1>Because if we had a serious administration, if we had

108
00:06:59.550 --> 00:07:03.529
<v Speaker 1>serious people in charge... you would be underneath a prison somewhere.

109
00:07:03.970 --> 00:07:07.730
<v Speaker 1>She cited DOJ documents from the Epstein files that she

110
00:07:07.750 --> 00:07:11.389
<v Speaker 1>contended offered new support to her arguments that the government

111
00:07:11.430 --> 00:07:16.569
<v Speaker 1>withheld relevant evidence, that witnesses testified falsely, and that attorneys

112
00:07:16.589 --> 00:07:20.649
<v Speaker 1>for Epstein's victims acted as de facto prosecutors in her

113
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:26.399
<v Speaker 1>criminal case. Oh yeah, that's exactly what happened, Ghislaine. You

114
00:07:26.420 --> 00:07:29.339
<v Speaker 1>know how Ghislaine Maxwell ended up behind bars? Well, A,

115
00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:31.199
<v Speaker 1>because she's not as smart as she thinks she is,

116
00:07:31.740 --> 00:07:38.079
<v Speaker 1>And B, well, her gross ass was guilty. You add

117
00:07:38.100 --> 00:07:44.110
<v Speaker 1>that up, you find yourself behind bars. Maxwell's petition falls

118
00:07:44.370 --> 00:07:48.050
<v Speaker 1>very far from the mark, Engelmeyer wrote, describing her claims

119
00:07:48.430 --> 00:07:52.689
<v Speaker 1>as demonstrably meritless and based on speculation, distortion, and or

120
00:07:52.810 --> 00:07:57.209
<v Speaker 1>outright falsehoods. The judge also rebuked Maxwell's contention that federal

121
00:07:57.250 --> 00:08:02.160
<v Speaker 1>prosecutors selectively targeted her as a substitute for Epstein, after

122
00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:07.500
<v Speaker 1>he died by suicide, allegedly, while in federal custody in 2019.

123
00:08:07.500 --> 00:08:12.199
<v Speaker 1>And that's the narrative that these despicable fucks run with. Oh, well,

124
00:08:12.339 --> 00:08:17.240
<v Speaker 1>only Ghislaine was prosecuted. Only she was indicted. It's so dumb.

125
00:08:17.930 --> 00:08:22.389
<v Speaker 1>And you have to be honestly stupid to believe that. Like,

126
00:08:22.410 --> 00:08:24.509
<v Speaker 1>there's no way around that. And there's no nice way

127
00:08:24.550 --> 00:08:29.689
<v Speaker 1>to put it. If that's what you believe, congratulations. You're

128
00:08:29.730 --> 00:08:33.580
<v Speaker 1>dumb as shit. As the trial showed, the case against

129
00:08:33.620 --> 00:08:37.860
<v Speaker 1>Maxwell was based on abundant, admissible evidence establishing her knowing

130
00:08:37.899 --> 00:08:41.769
<v Speaker 1>participation in enabling a notorious child sex abuser to carry

131
00:08:41.889 --> 00:08:47.190
<v Speaker 1>out historically heinous crimes, Engelmeyer wrote. Far from being discriminatory

132
00:08:47.570 --> 00:08:51.490
<v Speaker 1>or unjust, this was the epitome of a virtuous prosecution.

133
00:08:52.289 --> 00:08:55.740
<v Speaker 1>The government and the jury justly held Maxwell accountable for

134
00:08:55.820 --> 00:08:59.519
<v Speaker 1>gravely serious federal offenses. But that won't put it to

135
00:08:59.539 --> 00:09:03.509
<v Speaker 1>bed either. Because I guess Judge Engelmeyer is in on it, right?

136
00:09:04.629 --> 00:09:08.870
<v Speaker 1>Everybody's in on it. Meanwhile, the people that are really

137
00:09:08.909 --> 00:09:14.289
<v Speaker 1>in on it, well, CIA, DOJ, BOP, and the administration.

138
00:09:15.049 --> 00:09:17.950
<v Speaker 1>Not these judges. Now, do I agree with all the

139
00:09:17.990 --> 00:09:20.330
<v Speaker 1>rulings that we get from these judges? Of course not.

140
00:09:21.929 --> 00:09:23.889
<v Speaker 1>But when it comes to this ruling, when it comes

141
00:09:23.929 --> 00:09:28.330
<v Speaker 1>to Maxwell's situation, we shouldn't even be having the conversation.

142
00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:32.580
<v Speaker 1>Never mind her being on the cusp, or was on

143
00:09:32.620 --> 00:09:36.259
<v Speaker 1>the cusp, of maybe getting her conviction overturned. That shouldn't

144
00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:39.700
<v Speaker 1>even be a conversation, and that's because the evidence was apparent.

145
00:09:40.899 --> 00:09:44.519
<v Speaker 1>But in his ruling Tuesday, Engelmeyer wrote that Maxwell had

146
00:09:44.620 --> 00:09:48.179
<v Speaker 1>not made substantial showing of a denial of a constitutional right,

147
00:09:48.620 --> 00:09:52.889
<v Speaker 1>and appellate review is therefore not warranted. Any appeal from

148
00:09:52.909 --> 00:09:56.029
<v Speaker 1>this order would not be taken in good faith, Engelmeyer wrote,

149
00:09:56.830 --> 00:10:00.919
<v Speaker 1>determining that Maxwell would not be granted Indigency. known as

150
00:10:00.980 --> 00:10:05.080
<v Speaker 1>informa pauperis, to pursue the appeal without the typical court costs.

151
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:09.830
<v Speaker 1>If her habeas claim fails, Maxwell's remaining option would likely

152
00:10:09.870 --> 00:10:12.809
<v Speaker 1>be limited to a request to President Donald Trump for

153
00:10:12.830 --> 00:10:17.549
<v Speaker 1>a pardon of clemency. Well, she's definitely not getting out

154
00:10:17.590 --> 00:10:20.860
<v Speaker 1>by the court. Nobody's overturning this, like I told you

155
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:24.500
<v Speaker 1>from the beginning. There's too much evidence. There was no

156
00:10:24.539 --> 00:10:28.080
<v Speaker 1>witch hunt here. Ghislaine Maxwell wasn't unfairly prosecuted or targeted.

157
00:10:31.500 --> 00:10:35.940
<v Speaker 1>As the judge says, it was a righteous prosecution. And

158
00:10:36.100 --> 00:10:38.159
<v Speaker 1>I truly believe that. And I don't think there's a

159
00:10:38.210 --> 00:10:40.889
<v Speaker 1>court in this country that's going to let Ghislaine Maxwell

160
00:10:41.230 --> 00:10:45.250
<v Speaker 1>walk out of that jail. So her only hope, obviously,

161
00:10:45.850 --> 00:10:47.980
<v Speaker 1>is Donald Trump. And I wish I could tell you

162
00:10:48.059 --> 00:10:51.259
<v Speaker 1>that I have faith that he's not going to pardon her.

163
00:10:51.620 --> 00:10:54.279
<v Speaker 1>But I don't have that faith. I have zero faith

164
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:57.879
<v Speaker 1>in this administration when it comes to anything to do

165
00:10:57.899 --> 00:11:01.070
<v Speaker 1>with Jeffrey Epstein. So we'll see what happens. But as

166
00:11:01.110 --> 00:11:05.070
<v Speaker 1>of now, Glenn Maxwell will remain behind bars. And in

167
00:11:05.110 --> 00:11:10.169
<v Speaker 1>my opinion, that's exactly where she belongs. All the information

168
00:11:10.190 --> 00:11:12.929
<v Speaker 1>that goes with this episode can be found in the

169
00:11:12.970 --> 00:11:13.649
