Ghislaine Maxwell Denied Bail For The Third Time
2021-03-23
[Forbes] Ghislaine Maxwell, who is accused of facilitating Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young girls, was denied bail for the third time Monday, all but ensuring she’ll remain in jail before trial.

BLUF:

"The Defendant continues to have substantial international ties, familial and personal connections abroad, substantial financial resources, and experience evading detection," the judge said.

#8  They don't dare eliminate her in custody given the Epstein farce and public doubt, but letting her out would be just as dangerous for her becasue there are very very rich and powerful people around the world who would have her offed in a millisecond. Her power and safety are all about where the tapes and pictures are, once that evidence is destroyed, she is a goner. Clearly the unanswered questions of where his wealth and access came from will never be fully exposed to light, but while he liked teenage girls, and clearly trafficked in them for personal use, there was the seamy blackmail aspect and how that linked to intelligence services that is the most embargoed part of this. Epstein's murder while in custody was beyond bold, it was an act of pure desperation to silence him by some very powerful people inside the government and beyond, given proof by the fact that nothing has been done about it.....it just fades away, the hallmark of an inside job to me.

I think Oprah wants it all kept quiet as much as any of them.
