Ghislaine Maxwell denied bail by New York judge
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] A New York judge denied bail to Ghislaine Maxwell on Tuesday. Maxwell is awaiting her trial on sex trafficking charges.

Fox News reports that Judge Alison Nathan ruled Maxwell was too much of a "flight risk" to be granted release on bail. She stands accused of procuring teenage girls for Jeffrey Want Some Candy, Little Girl? Epstein
...A high class pimp financier who was alleged to maintain a stable of underage whores sex slaves who were paid big bucks to entertain the rich and/or famous. He is a registered sex offender and made att least 17 out-of-court settlements with former members of his stable, with some cases still ongoing. 2011 court docs reveal that 21 email addresses and phone numbers for Bill Clinton and an aide were found in Epstein's electronic black book, and that Clinton frequently flew with Epstein on his private plane between 2002 to 2005. But really, they were probably just discussing finance or politix or something. While getting massaged. Then things got serious, Jeff was tossed in the slammer in New York and then he killed himself. Really. That's what happened...
 for the purposes of sexual exploitation between 1994 and 1997.

Maxwell remains at a New York detention centre in Brooklyn.

#1 Things would have been different if she were to have been caught BLMing.

#2 It's not like she's a flight risk or anything.

#4 Denying bail makes all the sense in world; ergo, I am a tiny bit surprised that the judge did.

#5 Ref #4: Denying bail makes all the sense in world

Media popcorn for the Kabuki theater. Sounds quite harsh, as intended.

#6 No worries. Hillary has a team who will “free” her so she can join Epstein.

#7 With a little help from the royal family, if required.

#8 Yeah, she's a flight risk. They found her bug out bag with three passports and $20 million in separate accounts around the world.

#9 Typical "high capacity bullet clip" journalism. Nathan is a US District Court Judge, i.e. federal judge, not a "New York judge" beyond the fact she is based in New York.

#10 I still say she only came back because she had a deal already set up, and this is all part of the deal. Remains to be seen who the international intelligence agencies have her dumping everything on.

#12 If that's true, the only way she's walking away is if she blames The Orange Man or somebody so far down the food chain we've never heard of them.

#13 The one thing that drives me nuts is the assumption that she is the driver's seat. That "she came back" almost makes it sound like she's calling the shots. But don't get me wrong. Many scenarios have merit.
