Speaker 1: What's up everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
Today is the day, folks, Gallage Maxwell the bipedal Serpent,
is finally going on trial. This has been decades in
the making. Jeffrey Epstein, his criminal enterprise, and those that
assisted him with his crimes have found a way to
avoid the spotlight, to avoid punishment for all of these years,
and finally, at least one of them is going to
pay the price criminally, hopefully. Now let's not get it twisted.
Let's not act like there has not been any fallout
from this whole entire debacle. Prince Andrew, he's done right now.
He's never coming back to public life. See you, Glenn Dubin,
See you later, pal, You're never coming back either. He
had to resign from his position. Leon Black another scumbag.
See you later, buddy, You're gone. You're never coming back.
Then you have Jess Staley. He's also finished history. So
while some of these bigger names that we talk about
have not been charged criminally, they are paying the price
when it comes to society and professionally. Now again, I
am not a proponent of cancel culture. I am not
a proponent of censorship or anything like that. But when
you're in a position of power such as this and
you are caught enabling somebody like Jeffrey Epstein, that's not
being canceled. That's being called out on your bullshit and
paying a price for it. And these high profile people
who have paid the price in the wake of their
relationship with Jeffrey Epstein have deserved it, every last one
of them. So I know it's easy to get caught
up in being cynical and saying, well, what the hell,
how come there's no other convictions? And I'm the same
way right if you listen to the live stream last night.
I went into it for quite some time. But it
would be a lie, honestly, to say that there has
not been fallout from this and that people in powerful
positions have not taken a blow. Now, is it enough?
Does it go far enough? No, of course it doesn't.
I'm of the mind that all of these people should
be caught up under a Rico umbrella and prosecuted, but
that certainly doesn't seem to be the case, doesn't seem
to be what the government's interested in doing. So obviously
what we're left with as society is these people being
knocked off of their perch, being basically torn down like
a statue of yesteryear and thrown into the refuse. And
that's what you have with these high profile people again.
There's no coming back for these people. You really think
Jess Staley's ever getting a high profile job in the
financial sector again, or Leon Black or Glenn Dubin now
Prince Andrew again. I don't really, I can't call it
one way or the other. I'm not like a royalist
or somebody who really knows the monarchy history. I'll leave
that to other folks who are much more well versed.
But it certainly seems to me that the people of
the United Kingdom, the people of England want nothing to
do with Prince Andrew, and there certainly doesn't seem to
be any kind of comeback for that clown. So while
we have to acknowledge the fact that criminally there has
not been much done here besides Jean Luke Brunel and
Glenn Maxwell, and let's remember Jean Luke Brunell is in
France in jail, it is also a good thing that
these people have lost some of their stature, that these
people have lost their positions of power, now again, should
they be criminally prosecuted if they've they committed crimes financially
or otherwise, one hundred percent will they be doubtful. So
it's left to society to make sure that these people
aren't welcomed in positions of a high profile nature or
back into the banking sector. I mean, let's be very honest.
If it wasn't for the public, if it wasn't for you,
these people would have never lost these jobs in the
first place. Because the companies, they don't care what these
people are accused of or the people they were hanging
out with, doesn't matter to them. All they care about
is that the bottom line is being met and that
they're increasing their profits at a huge clip. As long
as that stuff is being done. The other stuff, you're
an abuser, you have allegation against you, none of it
matters until it starts to affect the bottom line. So
with people like Glenn Dubin and Leon Black and Jes
Staley especially, it was affecting the bottom line and the
other investors, the other partners. They told all of these
dudes it was time to kick rocks. So while I
want everybody to be rounded up under Rico and put
into prison if they committed crimes. We have to at
least acknowledge the fact that there have been penalties as
far as socially speaking for some of the participants who
took part here with Maxwell on trial, and you know,
all of that in the rear view mirror. I certainly
think that it's a step in the right direction, but
it's not far enough, and when it comes to criminal charges,
certainly not far enough in my opinion. But be that
as it may. Today mark's day one of the Glenn
Maxwell trial. We're gonna have opening statements today, and we're
obviously going to have some reports from reporters on the
ground and in the courthouse. In fact, you know, I've
been following a few different people and talking to a
few different people that I trust who are going to
be there, so I'll be able to pick their brains
after the proceedings today or during a breakout or something
and get an idea of what happened. So later on
when we come back and get back together and do
the update for tonight, we can get some first hand
account from people who were there and witnessed the proceedings themselves.
So it's time, folks, It is absolutely positively time for
the karma train that has left the station decades ago
to arrive at its destination. But before all of that
takes place, why don't we take a look at the
Glene Maxwell trial and a little bit of what we
should expect. This is an article from the New York
Post and the author is Ben Furehard. Headline alleged Epstein
Madam Glaine Maxwell on trial. Here's what to expect. Ghlainne Maxwell,
the accused longtime madam, co conspirator, general all around scusbag,
fellow child abuse are and bipedal serpent of pedophile financier
Jeffrey Epstein, will go on trial Monday, beginning the final
act of criminal proceedings against the disgrace socialite. That could
be the last chance at justice for the duos alleged victims.
All right, so right off the bat alleged victims, we
all know that they were victimized by Jeffrey Epstein. Okay,
we should definitely make a note of that. And how
do we know that they were all victimized by Jeffrey Epstein? Well,
is a state paid out all that money? Right? Is
a state thought that he was innocent? If his a
state thought that those claims were all bogus, they wouldn't
have paid out that dough so we could drop the
alleged into Jeffrey Epstein. Right, No alleged there now Glenn Maxwell,
like I've stated a million times before, absolutely she has
not been convicted of anything yet, so as of now
it's just alleged. If convicted on all counts Maxwell face,
is a maximum sentence of seventy years in prison, effectively
a life sentence for the fifty nine year old who
has been jailed in a Brooklyn lockup since her arrest,
and also ten years on the backside of that with
those perjury charges. In the next trial, Maxwell faces six
counts for allegedly recruiting, grooming, and abusing four minor girls
with Epstein at multiple locations in the US and the
UK from nineteen ninety four through two thousand and four.
And we also know that that scope of a time
period is so small for the alleged crime committed by Maxwell.
We know that she was rolling with Epstein for a
lot longer than that. So this just started happening in
ninety four, and in two thousand and four she just
decided to stop. So I don't buy any of that. Obviously,
the prosecutors, they believe that this is their strongest argument.
They think that this is where they have the most evidence,
So this is the route that they're going to go.
I'm talking about as an observer of this, it is
a little crazy to think that this could be, you know,
the scope, when we all know how long these two
were hanging out and active together. Her crimes included engaging
in group sexual encounters with Epstein and an underage girl
identified in court documents as minor victim one from nineteen
ninety four to nineteen ninety seven, prosecutors charged in the
indictment against her, So for those three years, according to prosecution,
Maxwell was engaging in group sexual encounters with Epstein and
the underage girl from ninety four to ninety seven. So
for three years, according to this charge, it wasn't just enabling,
it wasn't just Maxwell as Jeffrey Epstein's fixer or socialite.
She was actually partaking in the abuse, according to some
of these survivors. And I think that that's a big
part of all of this. It's a very important part
of all of this. She's not just an enabler. And
when her lawyers try and set her up like she
was a victim of Jeffrey Epstein. That's why it falls
flat with me. She wasn't some shrinking violet from a
broken home coming from a war torn nation where she
needed Epstein. This was a symbiotic relationship where they were
both profiting from this, from these moves. So when the
defense inevitably tries to set her up as a victim
moving forward here, it's going to be laughable, right, and
be on the look for it. You know it's coming
with each victim. She allegedly encouraged the girls to provide
Epstein with massages that would escalate into sexual abuse. During
massages with minor victim one, for example, the teen in
Maxwell would both engage in sex acts with Epstein. The
indictment states the crimes she's accused of are sensational and
will spark an emotional reaction among jurors before evidence in
the case is presented. Legal experts told The Post it's
one of the reasons the cards the cards are stacked
against Maxwell at the trial and why prosecutors may win
a conviction. The experts said, well, in my opinion, that
plays a part in it, right, definitely. But I think
the evidence is enough, and I think that there's a
substantial amount of that evidence that's going to lead the
jurors to a prosecution here to a conviction. Now, again,
I don't have any in the federal judicial system. I
don't have any faith in Judge Nathan, or in fact
in any of these other other judges for that matter.
But I think that the evidence is so mountainous, so high,
and there's such an abundance of it, you would have
to be an absolute bumbling fool to screw this up. Now, again,
we are dealing with the federal government and anything as possible,
but it certainly looks like to me that no matter
what the defense tries to pull here, the evidence enough
is going to be enough for the jury to take
one look at it and say, oh boy, But will
just excuse me, But just how the trial will play
out and if Maxwell will take the stand on our
own defense remains up in the air. Legal experts and
experienced trial attorneys who spoke to the Post describe potential
pitfalls Maxwell's legal team could face that trial, as well
as strategies that may win or favor with the jury
in their final bid to spring the disgrace socialite from
behind bars. So again, that's one of the biggest questions, right,
and it's what most of us are wondering. What is
going to take place in that courtroom, What can we expect,
what's going to happen? What you know, defense are they
going to bring forward? Because we know in cases like
this it's explosive. We know that if you're going to
go after the survivors, it is very tenuous ground for you,
a very slippery slope as the defense. And we know
that Maxwell's team has signaled that they're going to go
that route. So I don't think it's going to work
out for them. I'll tell you that much. In their
opening statement. Prosecutors will likely explain the charges against her
without exaggerating or overperforming, said former assistant US attorney and
trial lawyer Jeene Rossy. That makes sense, right, You don't
need to overperform. These charges are heinous enough that them
alone being explained should be good enough. And it also
plays into the whole salaciousness of this people who report
on it, who have to go the extra mile and
try and make things up. It never made any sense
to me. It's salacious enough as it is. This is
so crazy, this story. If I didn't know as much
about it as I do, I wouldn't even believe it.
So they don't need to overperform. They just need to
make their case in a nice, uniform manner. I expect
them to be very cautious, but firm, strategic but not inflammatory.
They will underpromise yet overperform at trial, Rossy said of
the Southern District of New York prosecutors. It's kind of
like going to the doctor, right, you know, he tells you, eh,
you might have six months left to live, but then
you have three years and he looks like the hero.
So they'll go in. They'll underperform at first and then
overperform during the trial, according to Rossi, which is probably
a good strategy, right, don't go crazy, don't try and
you know, painted as something. It's not just the facts, ma'am,
just the facts. The charges themselves speak volumes. He added.
Anytime you have underage sex trafficking, that charge alone inflames
passions and biases of any jury. The potential biases of
jurors could actually work in Maxwell's favor, not least because
of her gender, said Jennifer Rogers. A lecturer at Columbia
Law School. I don't buy that, honestly. I mean, I
guess it could work that way if you had a
sympathetic client, but I don't see Maxwell as being that
a sympathetic client. So I think if they're gonna rely
on that, they're gonna be in big trouble, especially considering
that we all know that thirty eight percent of traffickers
are women in the first place. Jerry's are often sympathetic
to win defendants generally, and if they can paint her
as a type of victim of Epstein's as well, that
might work in their favor in this regard, she said.
But at the same time, her gender could be a
pitfall for the defense team. Rogers added, jurors might not
like that she is a woman helping abuse young women.
She said, yeah, that's a understatement. Pretty sure that the
jurors aren't going to be too fond of that. The
very fact that she was a woman likely made the
victims survivors trust her more, possibly leading to more and
more serious abuse then would otherwise have occurred. So this
sort of betrayal of her sex might offend at least
some of the jurors. Rogers added, and that's definitely a possibility.
I mean, what sort of human being wouldn't be offended
by that sort of thing. The last thing you want
to hear about is, you know, a woman helping groom
little girls for mister egg Dick himself. Her defense attorneys
may run into similar land mines with the jury if
they attempt to paint her as a victim, the experts added.
Maxwell fifty nine was born in France and raised in
Luxury as the daughter of media tycoon Robert Maxwell, who
died in mysterious circumstances in nineteen ninety one. After her
father's death, Maxwell developed a persona in the British and
American media as a wealthy socialite who built relationships with
powerful men across the globe, in part because of her
romantic involvement with Epsteinn. That was the cover story, right.
I suggest anybody who wants to see how this kind
of thing works check out the show The Americans if
you're interested in how cover stories work for assets or
for spies. These people will act like they're part of
a community. Get a job the whole nine all to
forward their scheme, their plot, and for me, I'm convinced
at this point that Maxwell and Epstein they've never had
any kind of romantic inclinations. It was always something built
from a business perspective. Maxwell and Epstein socialized and were
photographed with Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, and numerous
other businessmen, politicians, and media figures. An Epstein accuser, Virginia Roberts,
Epstein's survivor, Okay, Virginia Roberts, has claimed she was trafficked
by Epstein to the powerful men in his orbit, including
Prince Andrew aka the Joe Exotic of the Windsor family.
The British Royal denies the allegation. This charmed lifestyle that
Maxwell led could make the argument that she's actually a
victim of Epstein a tough pill to swallow for the
Jerry Ross, He said, very much. So think about it,
all of this money, all of this power, educated, and
you want us to believe that you were a victim,
that you couldn't have walked away from Epstein at any
time you wanted. It's BS. It's BS story, and I
don't know why anyone would even give it a moments
worth of thinking about. It's ridiculous. She's a socialite, on steroids.
He said. She's an intelligent and mature, forceful woman, flying
around the world on private jets, staying in fancy hotels.
I don't think the theory that she is being used
is going to play well. I think that would that
would insult the intelligence of the jury, he added, Yes,
it would. It certainly insults our intelligence, doesn't it. It's
an absolute joke. The fact that she even tried to
get money from the victim's fund, all of it is
an absolute joke. It's a black eyed to the justice system,
and it's laughable at best. But her defense team could
paint her as the victim of federal prosecutors who twice
failed to exact justice on sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein
killed himself allegedly in twenty nineteen in a Lower Manhattan
jail while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges brought by
the same prosecutor's office that arrested Maxwell. Well, they were
committing the crimes together in the same neck of the woods,
so it would be the same prosecutors to go after them. Now,
don't get it twisted. I am not a fan of
the SDNY. I don't really think that they're as great
at their job as other people do. And I think
that letting Maxwell and Epstein off the hook at all
from any point has been terrible. Until his bust in
twenty nineteen, Epstein had escaped federal prosecution prosecution for sex
trafficking because of a non prosecution agreement he inked with
a Justice Department in two thousand and eight. The deals
secretly settled a probe that included forty underage girls, and
Epstein pleaded guilty to state charges in Florida and served
just thirteen months in prison. Since Maxwell's arrest, her attorneys
have argued repetialy that she's a scapegoat to the Justice
Department and was arrested because the Feds failed to bring
Epstein to trial. It's again ridiculous, and it just shows
you that they don't have anything. They don't have any
kind of evidence in my opinion, that's gonna get her off.
They're relying on technicalities and loopholes and the same old
nonsense that they've relied on from the jump. And you
see it here. Okay, Oh, she's the scapegoat, she's a victim,
not that she didn't do this. And then the other
argument is, oh, well, one of them or two of them,
they were over the age of consent, so it's okay.
It is just gross to me, it's an argument. Longtime
celebrity defense attorney Mark Garrigos said he expects to be
raised in Maxwell's case. There's been kind of a shift
from Epstein the monster to Maxwell the mastermind, the cynic
in methinks that defense will point that out, Garrigos told
the Post, only from the legacy media, and it's again,
this is how the legacy media has failed you folks.
They should have been painting Maxwell as a monster the
whole time as well, because that's what she is according
to these survivors. But no, still socialite. This that the
other thing and the band plays on, doesn't it cynically.
If Epstein was still alive, I don't think you would
have seen this shift, he added. No, if Epstein was
still alive, it would have had to have been a
Rico case then, right, or at the very least, criminal conspiracy.
Maxwell has maintained her innocence since her arrest and has
appealed numerous times to be released on bell from the
Brooklyn Federal lockup where she's being held Her lawyers have
argued repeatedly in court filings that she's subject to horrific
conditions in the Metropolitan Detention Center, including sexual abuse by
guards during daily pat down searches. Please, that's so ridiculous.
I mean, have you been to the airport lately? Have
you seen what the TSA is up to? Pretty sure
it's about the same that Macwells. Getting the conditions of
her incarceration would make her decision to testify at trial
especially risky. Garagos added, she's in custody, by all accounts,
in a deplorable situation that can be mentally debilitating. He said,
you're up against a very skilled prosecutor who's slept in
their own bed, who's well fed, who's got rest. On
the stand, it's a mental jiu jitsu for the client.
She's already from a cycle and mental standpoint at a disadvantage.
And that's why you don't see a lot of these
people take the stand in their own defense. It's very
difficult going and if they put Maxwell up there, I
think it's gonna work out bad for them. Honestly, if
Maxwell does take the stand, which is her decision, it
will likely make or break the trial. For her. Jennifer
Rogers added, in any case where the defendant testifies, it
tends to become the focal point for the jury, and
if she doesn't do well, it will be devastating to
her case, she told the Post. In an interview with
The Associated Press published Friday, Maxwell's brother Ian Maxwell said
her trial has been exaggerated in the media and designed
to break her. That's how the federal system works. Mister Maxwell, sorry,
my friend, welcome to the party. It's the most overhyped
trial of the century, without a doubt. Ian Maxwell said,
this is designed to break her. I can't see any
other way to read it. And she will not be
broken because she believes completely in her innocence and she
is going to give the best account she ken. He continued.
If there are any fireworks at the trial, they're likely
to come in the prosecutor's closing statement, said Gene Rossy.
They'll stick to the charges in the opening, then in
the closing they can go full throttle and give a
full court press. He said. Closings could be armageddon. Well,
there you have it, and that is what we're looking at, folks,
as we get ready for this trial to kick off
and get underway for me. Like I've said, I planned
on going there for the whole thing, but once again
from July, it just was not in the cards for me.
But I will be there for these closing arguments that
he's talking about, and the whole full throttle situation sounds
like it's my cup of tea. So you can guarantee
your boy will be in New York first week of January.
And if I got to camp out to get into
that courtroom, some of those overflow rooms, then so be it.
I will be there and we'll see what's what. But
until then, I'll be here every single day breaking it down,
curating it, and discussing what occurred throughout the day at
Gallaine Maxwell's trial. Hope that all of you will return
and join in and continue to follow along as we
watch hopefully the trial and then the conviction of Galain Maxwell.
