Presumably by being someone that trafficked children so that the former president of the United States of America could rape them?

Judge Nathan did side with Maxwell on several additional redactions proposed to transcripts submitted as part of the government’s filing, finding that to make those details public would only tend to cater to an appetite for the “sensational and impure.”

“Those portions of the transcript, which were redacted in the civil matter, concern privacy interests and their disclosure would merely serve to cater to a ‘craving for that which is sensational and impure,’” she wrote. “The Court thus concludes that such redactions are justified.”

Jeffrey Epstein was not a nice man.


https://twitter.com/jkbjournalist/status/1376982516352040962




Oh, and Jizz Lane is facing more charges.




Sex trafficking charges were added Monday to the indictment against financier Jeffrey Epstein‘s ex-girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, as prosecutors alleged that she groomed a 14-year-old girl to recruit other young females in the early 2000s to provide “sexualized massages” to Epstein in return for cash.

The charges contained in a superseding indictment returned by a Manhattan grand jury alleged that Epstein and Maxwell conspired between 1994 and 2004, when, prosecutors say, Epstein was paying her to manage his properties. An indictment returned after Maxwell’s July arrest limited crimes to a three-year period in the 1990s.

Maxwell, 59, has remained in a federal jail without bail after a judge rejected bail packages three times, the last of which included offers to renounce her citizenships in the United Kingdom and France, to be kept in place by armed guards and to post $28.5 million in assets.

I havent really been following this closely since the whole Epstein not killing himself in jail thing but are the courts just gonna go all in on the sex trafficing ring being exclusively for and used solely by Epstein himself?

So did the slightest bit of looking into this, as... yeah, that seems suss as hell.

from a New York Times article: (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/16/nyregion/ghislaine-maxwell-trial-epstein-judge.html)

quote:

"Senator Chuck Schumer, the Democratic majority leader and the party’s senior lawmaker in New York State, recommended Judge Nathan for the seat on the influential U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which is one level below the Supreme Court.

Presidents, in choosing judges and U.S. attorneys, traditionally defer to their party’s senior lawmaker in each state."...

"Mr. Schumer, in a statement on Tuesday, said Judge Nathan’s “experience, legal brilliance, love of the rule of law and perspective would be invaluable in ensuring the federal judiciary fulfills its obligation to ensure equal justice for all.”

"The White House announcement also noted that Judge Nathan would be the second openly gay woman to serve on any federal circuit court.

Judge Nathan was appointed to the District Court by President Barack Obama in 2011. She earlier served as a special counsel to the solicitor general of New York State, in the state attorney general’s office. Before that, she was an associate White House counsel and special assistant to Mr. Obama."

Judge Nathan is a graduate of Cornell Law School and served as a law clerk to Justice John Paul Stevens in the Supreme Court’s 2001-2 term.

It is not unprecedented for a federal appellate judge, even after confirmation, to continue to hear cases in the trial court, the legal experts said."...

"Judge Nathan is known for her independence, and in at least two cases she issued blistering criticism of the U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan after it was accused of failing to turn over potentially favorable evidence to the defense before trial."

So I dunno. It does seem she has a few pretty legit reasons why she would be nominated, but still seems shady as hell. More so on Schumer if he was the one to nominate but yeah considering everything.... like, they must now how that looks right? It doesn't seem as clear cut and I would love, you know a legal expert who knows the notation process and everything to weigh in, but seriously?

Yeah there is a reason I said "seems" shady as hell. This is a huge international case with connections -very possibly incriminating- incredibly powerful and influential people. I think it's likely she was always going to be selected due to just being a very good candidate, but yeah just look at Epstein first conviction with the Non-prosecution agreement. Not saying that happened here, but the optics of it all are awful.

And the hell, I was the one trying to bring in more information here and say there was another side that should be considered!
