Is the case against Ghislaine Maxwell unraveling?
/
Two victims of the three victims expected to testify as witnesses in the United States v Ghislaine Maxwell case have accepted settlements from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate. This will no doubt weaken the government’s stance against Maxwell and may, in fact, signal the beginning of the end of any possible indictment.
Maxwell’s attorneys had begun to argue, as early as July 14, 2020, during the initial bail hearing, that the case against her is “weak, supported by only three accusers who are expected to testify about events that are more than 25 years old”.
During the past couple of weeks Annie Farmer and a second “Jane Doe” (believed to be soap opera actress Nadia Bjorlin) accepted settlements from the Epstein’s Victims’ Compensation Program. The restitution fund, handled by Kenneth Feinberg – who was also the “9/11 Fund Administrator” – requires them to dismiss any pending litigation against Jeffrey Epstein’s estate and any of his former employees. Ghislaine Maxwell among them. It also requires they dismiss the civil lawsuits they each initiated against their alleged abuser: Maxwell.
Ghislaine Maxwell is probably doing cartwheels in her 6 x 9 jail cell. She is refusing to sign off and is requesting information. Information she will be using as “ammunition” – assuming she doesn’t flee and is actually around when her trial begins in July of 2021.
Among these:
1. Unredacted copies of the settlements showing the amounts given to each victim.
2. Documented proof that she is released from any future litigation. Meaning this is it. They cannot at any point in the future sue her again.
3. Requesting her legal fees be paid.
The age-old argument used against Jeffrey Epstein’s victims has been and will continue to be that it was always based on “money”. Alan Dershowitz has been very vocal in his allegations that Epstein’s victims are “money-grubbers” and “extortionists” who have “gone after” the rich and powerful.
Laura Menninger, one of Maxwell’s attorneys, just added to this nuclear-strength mud-swinging legal battle. She told ABC news:
"[Doe] improperly brought this baseless civil suit against Ms. Maxwell, making claims that are decades old without a shred of documentary or corroborative support. Ms. Maxwell absolutely denies plaintiff's claims against her; they are false," wrote Laura Menninger, an attorney who represents Maxwell in both civil and criminal cases.”
