1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,320 Speaker 1: What's up everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. 2 00:00:04,919 --> 00:00:09,439 Today is the day, folks, Gallage Maxwell the bipedal Serpent, 3 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:15,359 is finally going on trial. This has been decades in 4 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:20,559 the making. Jeffrey Epstein, his criminal enterprise, and those that 5 00:00:20,679 --> 00:00:25,640 assisted him with his crimes have found a way to 6 00:00:25,719 --> 00:00:30,480 avoid the spotlight, to avoid punishment for all of these years, 7 00:00:31,399 --> 00:00:36,000 and finally, at least one of them is going to 8 00:00:36,039 --> 00:00:41,320 pay the price criminally, hopefully. Now let's not get it twisted. 9 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,359 Let's not act like there has not been any fallout 10 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:50,520 from this whole entire debacle. Prince Andrew, he's done right now. 11 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,399 He's never coming back to public life. See you, Glenn Dubin, 12 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,159 See you later, pal, You're never coming back either. He 13 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:02,320 had to resign from his position. Leon Black another scumbag. 14 00:01:02,439 --> 00:01:06,319 See you later, buddy, You're gone. You're never coming back. 15 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:15,079 Then you have Jess Staley. He's also finished history. So 16 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,879 while some of these bigger names that we talk about 17 00:01:18,079 --> 00:01:22,120 have not been charged criminally, they are paying the price 18 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:28,040 when it comes to society and professionally. Now again, I 19 00:01:28,079 --> 00:01:31,040 am not a proponent of cancel culture. I am not 20 00:01:31,079 --> 00:01:34,959 a proponent of censorship or anything like that. But when 21 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,079 you're in a position of power such as this and 22 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:43,040 you are caught enabling somebody like Jeffrey Epstein, that's not 23 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:47,000 being canceled. That's being called out on your bullshit and 24 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,599 paying a price for it. And these high profile people 25 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,840 who have paid the price in the wake of their 26 00:01:53,879 --> 00:01:57,519 relationship with Jeffrey Epstein have deserved it, every last one 27 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,680 of them. So I know it's easy to get caught 28 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,280 up in being cynical and saying, well, what the hell, 29 00:02:04,319 --> 00:02:06,680 how come there's no other convictions? And I'm the same 30 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,039 way right if you listen to the live stream last night. 31 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:13,520 I went into it for quite some time. But it 32 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,280 would be a lie, honestly, to say that there has 33 00:02:17,319 --> 00:02:20,479 not been fallout from this and that people in powerful 34 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,960 positions have not taken a blow. Now, is it enough? 35 00:02:25,039 --> 00:02:27,400 Does it go far enough? No, of course it doesn't. 36 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,479 I'm of the mind that all of these people should 37 00:02:30,479 --> 00:02:36,120 be caught up under a Rico umbrella and prosecuted, but 38 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,960 that certainly doesn't seem to be the case, doesn't seem 39 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:43,800 to be what the government's interested in doing. So obviously 40 00:02:44,039 --> 00:02:47,840 what we're left with as society is these people being 41 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:52,520 knocked off of their perch, being basically torn down like 42 00:02:52,599 --> 00:02:58,120 a statue of yesteryear and thrown into the refuse. And 43 00:02:58,159 --> 00:03:00,800 that's what you have with these high profile people again. 44 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,400 There's no coming back for these people. You really think 45 00:03:03,479 --> 00:03:06,360 Jess Staley's ever getting a high profile job in the 46 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:12,759 financial sector again, or Leon Black or Glenn Dubin now 47 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:17,319 Prince Andrew again. I don't really, I can't call it 48 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,280 one way or the other. I'm not like a royalist 49 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,599 or somebody who really knows the monarchy history. I'll leave 50 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,280 that to other folks who are much more well versed. 51 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,840 But it certainly seems to me that the people of 52 00:03:27,879 --> 00:03:31,120 the United Kingdom, the people of England want nothing to 53 00:03:31,159 --> 00:03:34,479 do with Prince Andrew, and there certainly doesn't seem to 54 00:03:34,479 --> 00:03:39,560 be any kind of comeback for that clown. So while 55 00:03:39,919 --> 00:03:43,039 we have to acknowledge the fact that criminally there has 56 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,680 not been much done here besides Jean Luke Brunel and 57 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,599 Glenn Maxwell, and let's remember Jean Luke Brunell is in 58 00:03:49,719 --> 00:03:55,759 France in jail, it is also a good thing that 59 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,479 these people have lost some of their stature, that these 60 00:03:58,479 --> 00:04:07,639 people have lost their positions of power, now again, should 61 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,240 they be criminally prosecuted if they've they committed crimes financially 62 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:16,279 or otherwise, one hundred percent will they be doubtful. So 63 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:22,279 it's left to society to make sure that these people 64 00:04:22,319 --> 00:04:27,839 aren't welcomed in positions of a high profile nature or 65 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,600 back into the banking sector. I mean, let's be very honest. 66 00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:34,879 If it wasn't for the public, if it wasn't for you, 67 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,439 these people would have never lost these jobs in the 68 00:04:37,439 --> 00:04:43,120 first place. Because the companies, they don't care what these 69 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,600 people are accused of or the people they were hanging 70 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,519 out with, doesn't matter to them. All they care about 71 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,040 is that the bottom line is being met and that 72 00:04:51,079 --> 00:04:55,120 they're increasing their profits at a huge clip. As long 73 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,959 as that stuff is being done. The other stuff, you're 74 00:04:57,959 --> 00:05:01,519 an abuser, you have allegation against you, none of it 75 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,680 matters until it starts to affect the bottom line. So 76 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,360 with people like Glenn Dubin and Leon Black and Jes 77 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,120 Staley especially, it was affecting the bottom line and the 78 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,120 other investors, the other partners. They told all of these 79 00:05:16,199 --> 00:05:20,480 dudes it was time to kick rocks. So while I 80 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,360 want everybody to be rounded up under Rico and put 81 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,959 into prison if they committed crimes. We have to at 82 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,480 least acknowledge the fact that there have been penalties as 83 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,680 far as socially speaking for some of the participants who 84 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:40,560 took part here with Maxwell on trial, and you know, 85 00:05:40,759 --> 00:05:44,279 all of that in the rear view mirror. I certainly 86 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,560 think that it's a step in the right direction, but 87 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:52,120 it's not far enough, and when it comes to criminal charges, 88 00:05:52,639 --> 00:05:57,639 certainly not far enough in my opinion. But be that 89 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,079 as it may. Today mark's day one of the Glenn 90 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:06,319 Maxwell trial. We're gonna have opening statements today, and we're 91 00:06:06,399 --> 00:06:09,680 obviously going to have some reports from reporters on the 92 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:14,800 ground and in the courthouse. In fact, you know, I've 93 00:06:15,079 --> 00:06:17,959 been following a few different people and talking to a 94 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,279 few different people that I trust who are going to 95 00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:23,160 be there, so I'll be able to pick their brains 96 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,879 after the proceedings today or during a breakout or something 97 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,319 and get an idea of what happened. So later on 98 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,680 when we come back and get back together and do 99 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,240 the update for tonight, we can get some first hand 100 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,560 account from people who were there and witnessed the proceedings themselves. 101 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:48,920 So it's time, folks, It is absolutely positively time for 102 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,839 the karma train that has left the station decades ago 103 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:57,480 to arrive at its destination. But before all of that 104 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,160 takes place, why don't we take a look at the 105 00:07:01,199 --> 00:07:04,879 Glene Maxwell trial and a little bit of what we 106 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,240 should expect. This is an article from the New York 107 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:13,839 Post and the author is Ben Furehard. Headline alleged Epstein 108 00:07:13,959 --> 00:07:21,279 Madam Glaine Maxwell on trial. Here's what to expect. Ghlainne Maxwell, 109 00:07:21,319 --> 00:07:25,279 the accused longtime madam, co conspirator, general all around scusbag, 110 00:07:26,079 --> 00:07:30,279 fellow child abuse are and bipedal serpent of pedophile financier 111 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,920 Jeffrey Epstein, will go on trial Monday, beginning the final 112 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:38,199 act of criminal proceedings against the disgrace socialite. That could 113 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,240 be the last chance at justice for the duos alleged victims. 114 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:47,680 All right, so right off the bat alleged victims, we 115 00:07:47,759 --> 00:07:50,519 all know that they were victimized by Jeffrey Epstein. Okay, 116 00:07:50,839 --> 00:07:53,800 we should definitely make a note of that. And how 117 00:07:53,879 --> 00:07:57,040 do we know that they were all victimized by Jeffrey Epstein? Well, 118 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,160 is a state paid out all that money? Right? Is 119 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,000 a state thought that he was innocent? If his a 120 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,480 state thought that those claims were all bogus, they wouldn't 121 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,439 have paid out that dough so we could drop the 122 00:08:06,519 --> 00:08:12,759 alleged into Jeffrey Epstein. Right, No alleged there now Glenn Maxwell, 123 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,720 like I've stated a million times before, absolutely she has 124 00:08:15,759 --> 00:08:18,560 not been convicted of anything yet, so as of now 125 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:24,519 it's just alleged. If convicted on all counts Maxwell face, 126 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,920 is a maximum sentence of seventy years in prison, effectively 127 00:08:27,959 --> 00:08:30,240 a life sentence for the fifty nine year old who 128 00:08:30,279 --> 00:08:33,440 has been jailed in a Brooklyn lockup since her arrest, 129 00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:37,200 and also ten years on the backside of that with 130 00:08:37,279 --> 00:08:42,159 those perjury charges. In the next trial, Maxwell faces six 131 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:46,240 counts for allegedly recruiting, grooming, and abusing four minor girls 132 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,480 with Epstein at multiple locations in the US and the 133 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,200 UK from nineteen ninety four through two thousand and four. 134 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,840 And we also know that that scope of a time 135 00:08:56,879 --> 00:09:01,200 period is so small for the alleged crime committed by Maxwell. 136 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,679 We know that she was rolling with Epstein for a 137 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,279 lot longer than that. So this just started happening in 138 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,919 ninety four, and in two thousand and four she just 139 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:13,399 decided to stop. So I don't buy any of that. Obviously, 140 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,960 the prosecutors, they believe that this is their strongest argument. 141 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,440 They think that this is where they have the most evidence, 142 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,720 So this is the route that they're going to go. 143 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:29,240 I'm talking about as an observer of this, it is 144 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,000 a little crazy to think that this could be, you know, 145 00:09:33,039 --> 00:09:36,080 the scope, when we all know how long these two 146 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:41,080 were hanging out and active together. Her crimes included engaging 147 00:09:41,159 --> 00:09:45,279 in group sexual encounters with Epstein and an underage girl 148 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,120 identified in court documents as minor victim one from nineteen 149 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,159 ninety four to nineteen ninety seven, prosecutors charged in the 150 00:09:53,159 --> 00:09:58,759 indictment against her, So for those three years, according to prosecution, 151 00:10:00,519 --> 00:10:04,080 Maxwell was engaging in group sexual encounters with Epstein and 152 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,879 the underage girl from ninety four to ninety seven. So 153 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,440 for three years, according to this charge, it wasn't just enabling, 154 00:10:11,639 --> 00:10:15,600 it wasn't just Maxwell as Jeffrey Epstein's fixer or socialite. 155 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,399 She was actually partaking in the abuse, according to some 156 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,960 of these survivors. And I think that that's a big 157 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,480 part of all of this. It's a very important part 158 00:10:26,519 --> 00:10:29,320 of all of this. She's not just an enabler. And 159 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,240 when her lawyers try and set her up like she 160 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,000 was a victim of Jeffrey Epstein. That's why it falls 161 00:10:35,039 --> 00:10:38,000 flat with me. She wasn't some shrinking violet from a 162 00:10:38,039 --> 00:10:41,720 broken home coming from a war torn nation where she 163 00:10:41,879 --> 00:10:45,679 needed Epstein. This was a symbiotic relationship where they were 164 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:51,080 both profiting from this, from these moves. So when the 165 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,720 defense inevitably tries to set her up as a victim 166 00:10:54,759 --> 00:10:58,639 moving forward here, it's going to be laughable, right, and 167 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,320 be on the look for it. You know it's coming 168 00:11:09,399 --> 00:11:12,600 with each victim. She allegedly encouraged the girls to provide 169 00:11:12,639 --> 00:11:16,960 Epstein with massages that would escalate into sexual abuse. During 170 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,080 massages with minor victim one, for example, the teen in 171 00:11:20,159 --> 00:11:22,639 Maxwell would both engage in sex acts with Epstein. The 172 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:27,399 indictment states the crimes she's accused of are sensational and 173 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,799 will spark an emotional reaction among jurors before evidence in 174 00:11:30,879 --> 00:11:34,399 the case is presented. Legal experts told The Post it's 175 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,960 one of the reasons the cards the cards are stacked 176 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:42,039 against Maxwell at the trial and why prosecutors may win 177 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,519 a conviction. The experts said, well, in my opinion, that 178 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,120 plays a part in it, right, definitely. But I think 179 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,639 the evidence is enough, and I think that there's a 180 00:11:51,639 --> 00:11:54,759 substantial amount of that evidence that's going to lead the 181 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,919 jurors to a prosecution here to a conviction. Now, again, 182 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,879 I don't have any in the federal judicial system. I 183 00:12:02,879 --> 00:12:05,879 don't have any faith in Judge Nathan, or in fact 184 00:12:05,879 --> 00:12:08,480 in any of these other other judges for that matter. 185 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,879 But I think that the evidence is so mountainous, so high, 186 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,279 and there's such an abundance of it, you would have 187 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:20,879 to be an absolute bumbling fool to screw this up. Now, again, 188 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,679 we are dealing with the federal government and anything as possible, 189 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:29,279 but it certainly looks like to me that no matter 190 00:12:29,519 --> 00:12:34,879 what the defense tries to pull here, the evidence enough 191 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,320 is going to be enough for the jury to take 192 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:42,840 one look at it and say, oh boy, But will 193 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,279 just excuse me, But just how the trial will play 194 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,759 out and if Maxwell will take the stand on our 195 00:12:48,799 --> 00:12:52,480 own defense remains up in the air. Legal experts and 196 00:12:52,519 --> 00:12:56,399 experienced trial attorneys who spoke to the Post describe potential 197 00:12:56,399 --> 00:13:00,279 pitfalls Maxwell's legal team could face that trial, as well 198 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,919 as strategies that may win or favor with the jury 199 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,679 in their final bid to spring the disgrace socialite from 200 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,960 behind bars. So again, that's one of the biggest questions, right, 201 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,639 and it's what most of us are wondering. What is 202 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,840 going to take place in that courtroom, What can we expect, 203 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,720 what's going to happen? What you know, defense are they 204 00:13:21,759 --> 00:13:26,279 going to bring forward? Because we know in cases like 205 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,480 this it's explosive. We know that if you're going to 206 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,519 go after the survivors, it is very tenuous ground for you, 207 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,600 a very slippery slope as the defense. And we know 208 00:13:37,759 --> 00:13:40,720 that Maxwell's team has signaled that they're going to go 209 00:13:40,799 --> 00:13:43,039 that route. So I don't think it's going to work 210 00:13:43,039 --> 00:13:50,639 out for them. I'll tell you that much. In their 211 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,840 opening statement. Prosecutors will likely explain the charges against her 212 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:59,559 without exaggerating or overperforming, said former assistant US attorney and 213 00:14:00,399 --> 00:14:03,759 trial lawyer Jeene Rossy. That makes sense, right, You don't 214 00:14:03,799 --> 00:14:07,759 need to overperform. These charges are heinous enough that them 215 00:14:07,799 --> 00:14:11,360 alone being explained should be good enough. And it also 216 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,240 plays into the whole salaciousness of this people who report 217 00:14:15,279 --> 00:14:17,519 on it, who have to go the extra mile and 218 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,399 try and make things up. It never made any sense 219 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,080 to me. It's salacious enough as it is. This is 220 00:14:23,399 --> 00:14:25,840 so crazy, this story. If I didn't know as much 221 00:14:25,879 --> 00:14:27,840 about it as I do, I wouldn't even believe it. 222 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,799 So they don't need to overperform. They just need to 223 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:39,840 make their case in a nice, uniform manner. I expect 224 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,840 them to be very cautious, but firm, strategic but not inflammatory. 225 00:14:44,159 --> 00:14:48,240 They will underpromise yet overperform at trial, Rossy said of 226 00:14:48,279 --> 00:14:51,360 the Southern District of New York prosecutors. It's kind of 227 00:14:51,399 --> 00:14:54,480 like going to the doctor, right, you know, he tells you, eh, 228 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,639 you might have six months left to live, but then 229 00:14:56,679 --> 00:14:58,399 you have three years and he looks like the hero. 230 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,399 So they'll go in. They'll underperform at first and then 231 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,559 overperform during the trial, according to Rossi, which is probably 232 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,639 a good strategy, right, don't go crazy, don't try and 233 00:15:08,799 --> 00:15:12,320 you know, painted as something. It's not just the facts, ma'am, 234 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:17,480 just the facts. The charges themselves speak volumes. He added. 235 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,519 Anytime you have underage sex trafficking, that charge alone inflames 236 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,759 passions and biases of any jury. The potential biases of 237 00:15:25,879 --> 00:15:30,159 jurors could actually work in Maxwell's favor, not least because 238 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,720 of her gender, said Jennifer Rogers. A lecturer at Columbia 239 00:15:33,799 --> 00:15:36,960 Law School. I don't buy that, honestly. I mean, I 240 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,799 guess it could work that way if you had a 241 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,240 sympathetic client, but I don't see Maxwell as being that 242 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,559 a sympathetic client. So I think if they're gonna rely 243 00:15:47,679 --> 00:15:50,639 on that, they're gonna be in big trouble, especially considering 244 00:15:50,639 --> 00:15:53,039 that we all know that thirty eight percent of traffickers 245 00:15:53,039 --> 00:15:59,679 are women in the first place. Jerry's are often sympathetic 246 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,360 to win defendants generally, and if they can paint her 247 00:16:02,399 --> 00:16:04,720 as a type of victim of Epstein's as well, that 248 00:16:04,799 --> 00:16:07,039 might work in their favor in this regard, she said. 249 00:16:07,399 --> 00:16:09,960 But at the same time, her gender could be a 250 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,519 pitfall for the defense team. Rogers added, jurors might not 251 00:16:14,679 --> 00:16:17,559 like that she is a woman helping abuse young women. 252 00:16:17,679 --> 00:16:21,480 She said, yeah, that's a understatement. Pretty sure that the 253 00:16:21,559 --> 00:16:26,799 jurors aren't going to be too fond of that. The 254 00:16:26,919 --> 00:16:29,240 very fact that she was a woman likely made the 255 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,759 victims survivors trust her more, possibly leading to more and 256 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,679 more serious abuse then would otherwise have occurred. So this 257 00:16:36,799 --> 00:16:39,240 sort of betrayal of her sex might offend at least 258 00:16:39,279 --> 00:16:43,480 some of the jurors. Rogers added, and that's definitely a possibility. 259 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,759 I mean, what sort of human being wouldn't be offended 260 00:16:46,759 --> 00:16:49,320 by that sort of thing. The last thing you want 261 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:54,720 to hear about is, you know, a woman helping groom 262 00:16:54,799 --> 00:17:01,720 little girls for mister egg Dick himself. Her defense attorneys 263 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,079 may run into similar land mines with the jury if 264 00:17:04,079 --> 00:17:06,599 they attempt to paint her as a victim, the experts added. 265 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:11,079 Maxwell fifty nine was born in France and raised in 266 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,799 Luxury as the daughter of media tycoon Robert Maxwell, who 267 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:19,160 died in mysterious circumstances in nineteen ninety one. After her 268 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,519 father's death, Maxwell developed a persona in the British and 269 00:17:22,559 --> 00:17:26,880 American media as a wealthy socialite who built relationships with 270 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,079 powerful men across the globe, in part because of her 271 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:34,440 romantic involvement with Epsteinn. That was the cover story, right. 272 00:17:35,079 --> 00:17:37,279 I suggest anybody who wants to see how this kind 273 00:17:37,319 --> 00:17:40,359 of thing works check out the show The Americans if 274 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,599 you're interested in how cover stories work for assets or 275 00:17:43,599 --> 00:17:47,000 for spies. These people will act like they're part of 276 00:17:47,039 --> 00:17:50,599 a community. Get a job the whole nine all to 277 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:56,200 forward their scheme, their plot, and for me, I'm convinced 278 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,839 at this point that Maxwell and Epstein they've never had 279 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:03,759 any kind of romantic inclinations. It was always something built 280 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:11,759 from a business perspective. Maxwell and Epstein socialized and were 281 00:18:11,759 --> 00:18:16,640 photographed with Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, and numerous 282 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:22,200 other businessmen, politicians, and media figures. An Epstein accuser, Virginia Roberts, 283 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:27,039 Epstein's survivor, Okay, Virginia Roberts, has claimed she was trafficked 284 00:18:27,039 --> 00:18:30,079 by Epstein to the powerful men in his orbit, including 285 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,519 Prince Andrew aka the Joe Exotic of the Windsor family. 286 00:18:34,079 --> 00:18:38,519 The British Royal denies the allegation. This charmed lifestyle that 287 00:18:38,559 --> 00:18:41,160 Maxwell led could make the argument that she's actually a 288 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,119 victim of Epstein a tough pill to swallow for the 289 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,960 Jerry Ross, He said, very much. So think about it, 290 00:18:48,319 --> 00:18:51,519 all of this money, all of this power, educated, and 291 00:18:52,079 --> 00:18:54,039 you want us to believe that you were a victim, 292 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,960 that you couldn't have walked away from Epstein at any 293 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,839 time you wanted. It's BS. It's BS story, and I 294 00:19:00,839 --> 00:19:04,200 don't know why anyone would even give it a moments 295 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:14,400 worth of thinking about. It's ridiculous. She's a socialite, on steroids. 296 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,920 He said. She's an intelligent and mature, forceful woman, flying 297 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,000 around the world on private jets, staying in fancy hotels. 298 00:19:21,559 --> 00:19:23,799 I don't think the theory that she is being used 299 00:19:24,079 --> 00:19:26,319 is going to play well. I think that would that 300 00:19:26,319 --> 00:19:29,160 would insult the intelligence of the jury, he added, Yes, 301 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,960 it would. It certainly insults our intelligence, doesn't it. It's 302 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,079 an absolute joke. The fact that she even tried to 303 00:19:37,079 --> 00:19:39,599 get money from the victim's fund, all of it is 304 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,559 an absolute joke. It's a black eyed to the justice system, 305 00:19:43,759 --> 00:19:48,559 and it's laughable at best. But her defense team could 306 00:19:48,599 --> 00:19:51,319 paint her as the victim of federal prosecutors who twice 307 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,960 failed to exact justice on sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein 308 00:19:56,079 --> 00:19:59,759 killed himself allegedly in twenty nineteen in a Lower Manhattan 309 00:19:59,799 --> 00:20:04,039 jail while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges brought by 310 00:20:04,039 --> 00:20:08,480 the same prosecutor's office that arrested Maxwell. Well, they were 311 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,799 committing the crimes together in the same neck of the woods, 312 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,799 so it would be the same prosecutors to go after them. Now, 313 00:20:14,799 --> 00:20:16,839 don't get it twisted. I am not a fan of 314 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,920 the SDNY. I don't really think that they're as great 315 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,799 at their job as other people do. And I think 316 00:20:22,839 --> 00:20:26,319 that letting Maxwell and Epstein off the hook at all 317 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:36,880 from any point has been terrible. Until his bust in 318 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:41,559 twenty nineteen, Epstein had escaped federal prosecution prosecution for sex 319 00:20:41,599 --> 00:20:45,240 trafficking because of a non prosecution agreement he inked with 320 00:20:45,319 --> 00:20:48,640 a Justice Department in two thousand and eight. The deals 321 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,400 secretly settled a probe that included forty underage girls, and 322 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,880 Epstein pleaded guilty to state charges in Florida and served 323 00:20:55,920 --> 00:21:00,000 just thirteen months in prison. Since Maxwell's arrest, her attorneys 324 00:21:00,079 --> 00:21:03,480 have argued repetialy that she's a scapegoat to the Justice 325 00:21:03,519 --> 00:21:06,480 Department and was arrested because the Feds failed to bring 326 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:11,599 Epstein to trial. It's again ridiculous, and it just shows 327 00:21:11,599 --> 00:21:14,319 you that they don't have anything. They don't have any 328 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,279 kind of evidence in my opinion, that's gonna get her off. 329 00:21:17,599 --> 00:21:21,039 They're relying on technicalities and loopholes and the same old 330 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,720 nonsense that they've relied on from the jump. And you 331 00:21:24,799 --> 00:21:28,799 see it here. Okay, Oh, she's the scapegoat, she's a victim, 332 00:21:29,279 --> 00:21:31,240 not that she didn't do this. And then the other 333 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,799 argument is, oh, well, one of them or two of them, 334 00:21:34,079 --> 00:21:36,279 they were over the age of consent, so it's okay. 335 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:42,880 It is just gross to me, it's an argument. Longtime 336 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,920 celebrity defense attorney Mark Garrigos said he expects to be 337 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,079 raised in Maxwell's case. There's been kind of a shift 338 00:21:49,079 --> 00:21:52,920 from Epstein the monster to Maxwell the mastermind, the cynic 339 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,559 in methinks that defense will point that out, Garrigos told 340 00:21:56,559 --> 00:21:59,839 the Post, only from the legacy media, and it's again, 341 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,160 this is how the legacy media has failed you folks. 342 00:22:02,519 --> 00:22:04,759 They should have been painting Maxwell as a monster the 343 00:22:04,759 --> 00:22:07,480 whole time as well, because that's what she is according 344 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:12,160 to these survivors. But no, still socialite. This that the 345 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:18,519 other thing and the band plays on, doesn't it cynically. 346 00:22:18,559 --> 00:22:20,720 If Epstein was still alive, I don't think you would 347 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,039 have seen this shift, he added. No, if Epstein was 348 00:22:23,039 --> 00:22:25,079 still alive, it would have had to have been a 349 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:29,440 Rico case then, right, or at the very least, criminal conspiracy. 350 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,680 Maxwell has maintained her innocence since her arrest and has 351 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,640 appealed numerous times to be released on bell from the 352 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,119 Brooklyn Federal lockup where she's being held Her lawyers have 353 00:22:40,319 --> 00:22:44,200 argued repeatedly in court filings that she's subject to horrific 354 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:48,960 conditions in the Metropolitan Detention Center, including sexual abuse by 355 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:53,039 guards during daily pat down searches. Please, that's so ridiculous. 356 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,880 I mean, have you been to the airport lately? Have 357 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,839 you seen what the TSA is up to? Pretty sure 358 00:22:58,839 --> 00:23:06,519 it's about the same that Macwells. Getting the conditions of 359 00:23:06,519 --> 00:23:10,039 her incarceration would make her decision to testify at trial 360 00:23:10,319 --> 00:23:14,440 especially risky. Garagos added, she's in custody, by all accounts, 361 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,720 in a deplorable situation that can be mentally debilitating. He said, 362 00:23:19,039 --> 00:23:22,039 you're up against a very skilled prosecutor who's slept in 363 00:23:22,079 --> 00:23:25,400 their own bed, who's well fed, who's got rest. On 364 00:23:25,519 --> 00:23:28,359 the stand, it's a mental jiu jitsu for the client. 365 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:33,039 She's already from a cycle and mental standpoint at a disadvantage. 366 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:34,480 And that's why you don't see a lot of these 367 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,920 people take the stand in their own defense. It's very 368 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,039 difficult going and if they put Maxwell up there, I 369 00:23:41,039 --> 00:23:47,119 think it's gonna work out bad for them. Honestly, if 370 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,160 Maxwell does take the stand, which is her decision, it 371 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,680 will likely make or break the trial. For her. Jennifer 372 00:23:52,759 --> 00:23:56,359 Rogers added, in any case where the defendant testifies, it 373 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,960 tends to become the focal point for the jury, and 374 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,640 if she doesn't do well, it will be devastating to 375 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,680 her case, she told the Post. In an interview with 376 00:24:04,759 --> 00:24:09,079 The Associated Press published Friday, Maxwell's brother Ian Maxwell said 377 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,200 her trial has been exaggerated in the media and designed 378 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:16,400 to break her. That's how the federal system works. Mister Maxwell, sorry, 379 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:20,960 my friend, welcome to the party. It's the most overhyped 380 00:24:21,039 --> 00:24:23,759 trial of the century, without a doubt. Ian Maxwell said, 381 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,079 this is designed to break her. I can't see any 382 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,400 other way to read it. And she will not be 383 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,160 broken because she believes completely in her innocence and she 384 00:24:33,279 --> 00:24:36,000 is going to give the best account she ken. He continued. 385 00:24:36,519 --> 00:24:39,240 If there are any fireworks at the trial, they're likely 386 00:24:39,319 --> 00:24:42,559 to come in the prosecutor's closing statement, said Gene Rossy. 387 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,680 They'll stick to the charges in the opening, then in 388 00:24:45,759 --> 00:24:48,839 the closing they can go full throttle and give a 389 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:54,400 full court press. He said. Closings could be armageddon. Well, 390 00:24:55,279 --> 00:24:59,240 there you have it, and that is what we're looking at, folks, 391 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,200 as we get ready for this trial to kick off 392 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:06,960 and get underway for me. Like I've said, I planned 393 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,039 on going there for the whole thing, but once again 394 00:25:09,079 --> 00:25:11,519 from July, it just was not in the cards for me. 395 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,000 But I will be there for these closing arguments that 396 00:25:15,039 --> 00:25:18,519 he's talking about, and the whole full throttle situation sounds 397 00:25:18,559 --> 00:25:21,599 like it's my cup of tea. So you can guarantee 398 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,759 your boy will be in New York first week of January. 399 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:26,880 And if I got to camp out to get into 400 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,920 that courtroom, some of those overflow rooms, then so be it. 401 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,359 I will be there and we'll see what's what. But 402 00:25:33,519 --> 00:25:37,599 until then, I'll be here every single day breaking it down, 403 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:42,480 curating it, and discussing what occurred throughout the day at 404 00:25:42,519 --> 00:25:48,519 Gallaine Maxwell's trial. Hope that all of you will return 405 00:25:48,559 --> 00:25:54,400 and join in and continue to follow along as we 406 00:25:54,480 --> 00:26:01,839 watch hopefully the trial and then the conviction of Galain Maxwell. 407 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:04,880 If you'd like to contact me, you can do that 408 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,720 at Bobby Kapuchi at ProtonMail dot com.
