Danya Perry And Her Role Within The Leon Black Defense Team

up everyone and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. You know what always amazes me

when these lawyers who get up there and talk about how they're a part of the MeToo movement

or how they're a believe all women or any of that stuff and then they end up with a client

like Leon Black and today we're going to talk about a lawyer who did just that and the

person we're talking about is Daniel Perry. Now she's an ex-prosecutor and she has a pretty

big reputation for going after a powerful man. So it's pretty interesting that she would take Leon

Black on as a client. Now you could look at it in two different ways, right? A, she's just looking

to get a bunch of money, you know having this client knowing that he's going to pay out of the teeth

for her services. Yeah, why not? Or B, maybe she really believes them. Maybe she has seen some

evidence that makes her believe that he's telling the truth. All we have so far are the competing

statements by Mrs. Ganiyeva and Leon Black. I'm inclined to believe Mrs. Ganiyeva considering Leon

Black was one of Epstein's confidants. Somebody that was in Epstein's inner circle. So I have a hard

time believing that this guy is innocent. But these lawyers like Lisa Bloom, Gloria Allred,

who act like they're these big champions of women who have been assaulted and then they go and

they take clients like Leon Black or Harvey Weinstein. It just defies reasoning. So let's get in

the article from Insider and let's see if they can provide a little context about her decision.

Headline, meet the lawyer who went from standing up to Eric Schneiderman and Andrew Cuomo to

defending Leon Black. This article was authored by Casey Sullivan.

Daniel Perry, a former federal prosecutor, turned corporate lawyer, has a hard-earned reputation

for calling out abuse and standing up to powerful men. So that runs counter to the narrative

right off the bat if you're dealing with Leon Black. This is a guy that should not be given the

benefit of the doubt, in my opinion, considering his associations. You want to hang out with those

sorts of people? Well, don't be mad or don't be bummed out when people tie you together with them,

especially when there's 158 million reasons why we should do so. So Leon Black is just

an absolute bumbling fool in this regard. And it's a shrewd strategy, obviously, to bring Daniel

Perry on board. You know, you have a woman. She can navigate this a little easier, a little better.

You saw the same thing with Galein Maxwell. She brought in Bobby Sternham and, you know, there's

reasons for that. And Leon Black is a lot of things, but a shrewd businessman is certainly one of

them as well. In 2018, she told a New Yorker journalist that Eric Schneiderman physically

assaulted her two years earlier after a summer party in the Hamptons, an allegation the magazine

described in a story that facilitated the attorney general's downfall. Hey, look, breaking news,

bro, stop assaulting people. Pretty simple. You're a grown-ass man. You can't even use the excuse

so I was 19 years old. We were drunk at a frat party. And even that's a shitbag excuse. But you're

the general attorney general and you're over here going after women after some summer party up

in the Hamptons. Here's an idea. If you're that much of a sex craze lunatic, go call an escort

service or something. Don't assault women. This past August, when Andrew Cuomo faced allegations

of sexual harassment, Perry also told the magazine that the then governor once time he'd hurt

professionally by quashing an investigation into political corruption when it got too close to

his allies. Well, we all know Cuomo was an utter piece of trash, an absolute bum scrub out here

trying to use this position of power to manipulate people into relationships with them all at the same

time, getting up there and berating everybody else for the way they were living their lives.

Or oh, this one's not wearing a mask or that one's not wearing a mask. Meanwhile, this dude's

out here living his best life while the rest of everybody else is living in lockdown.

I had Cuomo has never sat well with me. I've always thought of him as your prototypical grifting,

tammany hall politician and for those of you who have seen the movie gangs of New York,

you know, exactly what I mean when I say tammany hall. And that is the sort of person,

meaning Cuomo, that I envision when I think of your typical corrupt New York politician.

Schneiderman cannot be reached for a comment for this story. A spokesperson for Cuomo said the

former governor denied allegations of sexual harassment and that Cuomo did not face any criminal charges

for allegations relating to his work with Perry. So that, you know, that ends it. He had no allegations.

So well, don't ask any questions. Such a joke and Cuomo and his whole entire team and staff,

they have done this forever. Avoid any real question answering and instead turn it back on the

people asking the questions with scorn and sarcasm and the rest of it. Cuomo has always thought

that he was your better. That is not the kind of person that should ever be elected to any kind of

office. And I don't know how he won in New York. I mean, I guess the family name and all, but

besides that, you would think that people in New York would be hit to the Cuomo's by now, but I guess not.

Break. But as the Cuomo drama unfolded, she had quietly taken on a new client, the billionaire

investor, Leon Black. So what it does for me anyway, is it makes me look sideways at all of the

stuff she has done previously. Now again, I might be a bit biased against Mr. Black because of his

previous relationships with Jeffrey Epstein. And I'm aware of that. I try to avoid following my

confirmation bias into an abyss, but I can't shake the feeling that Ms. Ghani Ava is telling the

truth here. And when you see somebody like Ms. Perry get involved and become a surrogate for Leon Black,

just makes you shake your head and leaves definitely a bad taste in your mouth.

He was the very kind of power figure. Perry had once made a name for herself by challenging. And he

was going through a me two moment, a me two, a me two crisis of his own, the former Apollo Global

Management CEOs, former longtime lover, got a gazelle Ghani Ava filed a civil lawsuit last year,

accusing him of forcing sadistic sexual acts on her during their extra marital affair in the late

2000s and 2010s. Black is called the allegations a whole cell fiction and filed his own lawsuit

against Ghani Ava. Now we know that they're going back and forth in court as we speak and trying

to figure out what's what, what's real here, what allegations are true, which ones aren't. And

again, I'm inclined to believe everything Mrs. Ghani Ava has to say here because of the way Leon

Black has conducted himself in the past. Now it might turn out that none of this is true and

Leon Black is being targeted. That's why we'll have a trial. But boy, oh boy, I can't wait to get

this to discovery. Certainly going to talk a little bit about Epstein, note how about that,

considering Mrs. Ghani Ava says that Leon Black brought her to Florida one time to have sex with

Jeffrey Epstein. To some lawyers, Perry's decision to defend Black, who resigned from Apollo after

an investigation, found he paid 158 million to Epstein for tax and financial advice. Doesn't

match the Perry they've read about in the New Yorker. Yeah, that's usually the case, right,

money talks. And I'm not saying that that's the motivation for Mrs. Perry here, but look,

if you have a client like Leon Black and they're offering you millions of dollars for your service,

has to be pretty difficult to decline that, right? And you know he is offering a bunch of money

for her services. Perry told Insider she was persuaded to take the case after reviewing audio

recordings and text conversations Black had with Ghani Ava and speaking at length with Black,

this kind of comes off to me as like the George Bush moment with Vladimir Putin, right?

I sat at the table and I looked across from him and I looked into his eyes and I saw he was a good

person. Okay, George Bush, thanks, buddy. Kind of the same thing here, right? Well, I had an

extensive conversation with Mr. Black and I can tell you he did not do this. Okay, sure, great.

Glad you believe him, but I think that it's going to affect her persona moving forward,

just like it has with Gloria Allred and with Gloria Allred's daughter, Lisa Bloom.

Like so many others, I have myself endured sexual assault and harassment and I do anything in my

power to fight against it. Perry told Insider in emailed comments, but I will stand up against

someone who is hijacking it and weaponizing it by falsely claiming sexual assault. That hurts

the movement and hurts us all. So maybe Miss Perry does believe that Mrs. Ghani Ava is not telling

the truth here and we have to at the very least acknowledge that that might be the case.

We haven't had a trial here yet. We haven't seen any evidence in court yet. So we'll have to see

what happens. But when we're talking about any of Epstein's associates and somebody's accusing them

of sexual assault or being a sadistic, disgusting, depraved individual, I have to listen to what

they have to say because for how long was it that nobody was listening to these survivors?

So anytime somebody has these kinds of allegations, I got to perk up and we have to get all the evidence

out there and see what's what and that's certainly the way things are moving in this case and things

are moving relatively quickly here. So I'm sure we'll see some sort of trial at some point

unless there is a settlement. Now Miss Perry might move towards that and get Leon Black on board

to do a settlement to save them some embarrassment, but who knows? One thing is for sure,

if it does get to the trial phase and we have discovery, my friends, it'll have a lot of Epstein stuff

and it will be explosive. All right folks, that's going to do it for this episode. If you'd like to
