Lawyer Gloria Allred points to a police report filled in bt her client Alicia Arden, at a news conference about Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell on July 6, 2020<\/p><\/div>\n

That Ghislaine Maxwell is finally in custody<\/a><\/strong><\/span> is certainly satisfying for all of us who believed her completely complicit in the horrible crimes against young girls committed by her associate Jeffrey Epstein. The internet is already alive with speculation regarding how long she will last in prison given the alleged death by suicide that eliminated Epstein in a Manhattan maximum security prison back in August 2019. Before jumping to too many conclusions, however, there are a number of additional developments in her case that should be considered.<\/span><\/p>\n

First of all, Maxwell\u2019s arrest was not fortuitous. She clearly made some efforts to hide the bulk of her multi-million-dollar fortune, but she has been visible for those who knew where to look. She moved about freely, though keeping a low profile, and made<\/a><\/strong><\/span> \u201cintentional efforts to avoid detection including moving locations at least twice, switching her primary phone number (which she registered under the name \u2018G Max\u2019) and email address, and ordering packages for delivery with a different person listed on the shipping label.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The 18-page prosecutorial indictment<\/a><\/strong><\/span> stated that \u201cThe Government has identified more than 15 different bank accounts held by or associated with the defendant from 2016 to the present, and during that same period, the total balances of those accounts have ranged from a total of hundreds of thousands of dollars to more than $20 million.\u201d Maxwell was charged with recruiting and \u201cgrooming\u201d young women for Epstein to abuse, which could carry as much as a 35 year prison sentence.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the 58-year old Maxwell, who has British citizenship as well as that of the United States, France and Israel, was considered to be a considerable flight risk<\/a><\/strong><\/span> she was not allowed bail after her arrest.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the time while Maxwell was moving about freely<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, the FBI apparently did not even attempt to interview her. She spent a good deal of time with her lawyers and was reportedly seen having coffee in Los Angeles, shopping near her apartment in Paris, visiting Britain and also staying under protection in Israel<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. She was born in France and her father, the Israeli spy Robert, is presumed to have had citizenship in the Jewish state, which would have been transferrable to her. Both France and Israel are extremely difficult to deal with when it comes to extradition, so she presumably could have stayed in either country and would have avoided prosecution in the United States. One might also recall that Epstein had a genuine Austrian passport in a false name, a probable indicator of his intelligence agency ties. It is quite possible that Ghislaine also has some form of false identification.<\/span><\/p>\n

When she was arrested, Ghislaine was living in a luxurious country house<\/strong><\/span><\/a> on 156 acres in a rural part of New Hampshire. She had bought the property in December for $1.07 million through a limited liability company that does not bear her name which was set up by one of her lawyers. Clearly the police knew exactly where she could be found. The house is a two-hour drive from the Canadian border, which might have been an intended refuge if she felt that the forces of law and order were moving in, but it begs the question as to why she would want to return to the U.S. at all. I rather suspect that she and her lawyers had actually been in touch with the authorities and some kind of plea bargain has been under consideration.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why now? The timing would seem to relate to other developments. Only last week Federal judge Loretta Preska ruled that<\/a><\/strong><\/span> the documents relating to Epstein and Maxwell in the possession of litigant victim Virginia Giuffre had to be destroyed. Information about Epstein and Maxwell, extracted from a 2015 civil suit filed against Epstein by Giuffre, appear to have contained the names of individuals with whom Epstein had conducted business, both those he recorded in flagrante as well as his other clients and even his victims.<\/span><\/p>\n

Preska ruled that Giuffre\u2019s lawyers had obtained the documents improperly and ordered that all the materials in the files \u201cshall be destroyed.\u201d She also demanded proof that the material had been destroyed. The whereabouts of Epstein\u2019s secret tapings is not definitely known, but the FBI did seize all of the papers and other data at the Manhattan mansion after he was arrested. Some believe<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, however, that Ghislaine has some of the tapes, presumably hidden or in the custody of her lawyers.<\/span><\/p>\n

The loss of the Giuffre files will seriously damage the criminal case being made by the government against Maxwell as well as the lawsuit being pursued by the victims against the Epstein estate. Ghislaine has been charged with procuring young girls and \u201cgrooming\u201d them for sex with Epstein and his prominent clients, all of which she has denied. The upcoming trial could easily end relatively quickly with a toothless admission of guilt by Maxwell and a plea-bargained minimum prison sentence. All documents relating to the case, including any recordings, would be sealed, which would inter alia protect other perceived government equities, namely the prominent individuals and the spy agencies that might have been involved either as victims or perpetrators.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is every indication that the Justice Department aided and abetted by the media is seeking to bury certain aspects of the Epstein case. A recent documentary on Netflix \u201cJeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich<\/a>\u201d<\/span> carefully avoids<\/a> <\/strong>any discussion of the likely Israeli espionage aspect of Epstein\u2019s activities. Ghislaine\u2019s father, who introduced Jeffrey to his daughter, was a prominent Mossad spy who received a state funeral in Israel after his mysterious death in 1991 which was attended by the prime minister as well as by all the former and serving heads of that country\u2019s intelligence services.<\/span><\/p>\n

Additional confirmation of the Israeli connection comes from a recent book<\/a><\/strong><\/span> by former Israeli intelligence officer Ari Ben-Menashe, who claims that Epstein and partner in crime Ghislaine Maxwell were engaged in blackmailing prominent politicians<\/strong><\/span><\/a> on behalf of Israel\u2019s foreign intelligence service Mossad. According to Ben-Menashe, the two had been working directly for the Israeli government since the 1980\u2019s and their operation, which was funded by Mossad and also by prominent American Jews, was a classic \u201choney-trap\u201d which used underage girls as bait to attract well-known politicians from around the world. The politicians would be photographed and video recorded when they were in bed with the girls. Prince Andrew and both Bill Clinton and Donald Trump were visitors to the Epstein New York City mansion where the recordings were made, while Clinton was a regular traveler on the \u201cLolita Express\u201d airplane that Epstein used to transport his \u201cfriends\u201d to his estate in Florida and his private Caribbean Island, referred to by locals as the \u201cPedophile Island.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Concerning Maxwell and Epstein, no one in the Justice Department appears to want to ask one simple question that would provide significant clarity if it were to be answered honestly. Conclusive evidence that Jeffrey Epstein was an Israeli or even American intelligence agent might well be derived from the former U.S. Attorney in Miami Alexander Acosta\u2019s comments<\/strong><\/span><\/a>\u00a0when being later cleared by the Trump transition team. He was asked \u201cIs the Epstein case going to cause a problem [for confirmation hearings]?\u201d \u2026 \u201cAcosta testified that he\u2019d had just one meeting on the Epstein case. He\u2019d cut the non-prosecution deal with one of Epstein\u2019s attorneys because he had \u2018been told\u2019 to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade. \u2018I was told Epstein belonged to intelligence and to leave it alone.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Why is no one in the various government investigative agencies or the mainstream media interested in what Acosta meant, even though it would be easy enough to ask him? Who told him to back off? And how did they explain it? The simple answer just might be that Epstein was in fact an Israeli spy preying on prominent figures and anything having to do with the Jewish state, no matter how malodorous, is a political hotwire and off limits to Democrats and Republicans alike. If all of that is true, we the public will not be seeing anything like a \u201cshow trial\u201d of Ghislaine Maxwell that reveals all and names names. She will quietly disappear into the legal system and before too long she will be out and around again, taking her secrets with her.<\/span><\/p>\n
