What's up everyone and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.

Today is the day folks.

Galaine Maxwell, the bipedal serpent, is finally going on trial.

This has been decades in the making.

Jeffery Epstein has been a great partner in the world.

Going on trial.

This has been decades in the making.

Jeffery Epstein, his criminal enterprise,

and those that assisted him with his crimes,

have found a way to avoid the spotlight,

to avoid punishment for all of these years.

And finally, at least one of them is going to pay the price

permanently, hopefully.

Now, let's not get it twisted.

Let's not act like there has not been any fallout

from this whole entire debacle.

Prince Andrew, he's done, right?

Now he's never coming back to public life.

See ya.

Glenn Dubin, see ya later pal.

You're never coming back either.

He had to resign from his position.

Leon Black, another scumbag.

See ya later buddy.

You're gone.

You're not coming back.

Then you have Jess Staley.

He's also finished history.

So while some of these bigger names that we talk about

have not been charged criminally,

they are paying the price

when it comes to society and professionally.

Now again, I am not a proponent of cancel culture.

I am not a proponent of censorship or anything like that.

But when you're in a position of power such as this

and you are caught enabling somebody like Jeffrey Epstein

that's not being canceled.

That's being called out on your bullshit

and paying a price for it.

And these high profile people who have paid the price

in the wake of their relationship with Jeffrey Epstein

have deserved it every last one of them.

So I know it's easy to get caught up in being cynical

and saying, well, what the hell?

How come there's no other convictions?

And I'm the same way, right?

If you listened to the livestream last night,

I went into it for quite some time.

But it would be a lie honestly

to say that there has not been fallout from this

and that people in powerful positions

have not taken a blow.

Now, is it enough?

Does it go far enough?

No, of course it doesn't.

I'm of the mind that all of these people

should be caught up under a rico umbrella

and prosecuted.

But that certainly doesn't seem to be the case.

It doesn't seem to be what the government's

interested in doing.

So obviously what we're left with as society

is these people being knocked off of their perch

being basically torn down like a statue of

yesterday and thrown into the refuse.

And that's what you have with these high-profile people.

Again, there's no coming back for these people.

You really think Jess Staley is

ever getting a high-profile job

in the financial sector again?

Or Leon Black?

Or Glenn Dubin?

Now, Prince Andrew, again, I don't really...

I can't call it one way or the other.

I'm not like a royalist or somebody

who really knows the monarchy history.

I'll leave that to other folks

who are much more well-versed.

It certainly seems to me that the people of

the United Kingdom, the people of

England, want nothing to do with Prince Andrew.

And there certainly doesn't seem to be any kind of come back

for that clown.

So while we have to acknowledge the fact

that criminally there has not been much done here besides

Jean-Luc Brunel and Galen Maxwell,

and let's remember Jean-Luc Brunel is in France

in jail,

it is also a good thing

that these people have lost some of their

stature, that these people have lost

their positions of power.

Now, again,

should they be criminally prosecuted

if they committed crimes financially or

otherwise 100%,

will they be doubtful?

So it's left a society

to make sure that these people

aren't welcomed in positions

of a high-profile nature

or back into the banking sector.

I mean, let's be very honest.

If it wasn't for the public,

if it wasn't for you,

these people would have never lost these jobs

in the first place.

Because the companies

they don't care what these people are accused of

or the people they were hanging out with

doesn't matter to them.

All they care about is that the bottom line

is being met,

and that they're increasing their profits

at a huge clip.

As long as that stuff is being done,

the other stuff,

you're an abuser,

you have allegations against you,

none of it matters until it starts to affect

the bottom line.

So with people like Glenn Dubin

and Leon Black

and Jess Staley especially,

it was affecting the bottom line

and the other investors,

so,

while I want everybody to be rounded up

under Rico and put into prison

if they committed crimes,

we have to at least acknowledge the fact

that there have been penalties

as far as socially speaking

for some of the participants

who took part here.

With Maxwell on trial,

and you know, all of that

in the rearview mirror,

I certainly think that

it's a step in the right direction,

but it's not far enough.

And when it comes to criminal charges,

certainly not far enough in my opinion.

But be that as it may.

Today marks day one

of the Glenn Maxwell trial.

We're going to have opening statements today,

and we're obviously

going to have some reports

from reporters on the ground

and in the courthouse.

In fact, I, you know,

I've been following

a few different people

and talking to a few different people

that I trust,

who are going to be there.

So, I'll be able to pick their brains

after the proceedings today

or during a breakout or something

and get an idea of what happened.

So, later on,

when we come back and get back together

and do the update for tonight,

we can get some first-hand account

from people who were there

and witnessed the proceedings themselves.

So,

it's time, folks.

It is absolutely,

positively time for the karma train

that has left the station decades ago

to arrive at its destination.

But before all of that takes place,

why don't we take a look

at the Glenn Maxwell trial

and a little bit of

what we should expect?

This is an article

from the New York Post,

where the author is Ben Fuhrard.

Headline,

alleged Epstein-Madame

Galaine Maxwell on trial.

Here's what to expect.

Galaine Maxwell,

the accused long-time madam,

co-conspirator,

general all-around scuzzbag,

fellow child abuser

and bipedal serpent,

of pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein,

will go on trial Monday

beginning the final act

that could be the last chance at justice

for the duo's alleged victims.

All right, so, right off the bat,

alleged victims,

we all know that they were

victimized by Jeffrey Epstein, okay?

We should definitely make a note of that.

And how do we know

that they were all victimized

by Jeffrey Epstein? Well,

is a state paid out all that money, right?

If as a state thought that he was innocent,

if as a state thought that those claims were all bogus,

they wouldn't have paid out that though.

So we could drop the alleged

into Jeffrey Epstein, right?

No alleged there.

Now, Galaine Maxwell, like I've stated

a million times before, absolutely.

She has not been convicted of anything yet.

So as of now, it's just alleged.

If convicted on all counts,

Maxwell faces a maximum sentence

of 70 years in prison,

effectively a life sentence for the 59-year-old

who has been jailed in a Brooklyn lockup

since her arrest,

and also 10 years on the backside of that,

with those perjury charges in the next trial.

Maxwell faces six counts

for allegedly recruiting,

grooming, and abusing four minor girls

with Epstein at multiple locations

in the US and the UK

from 1994 through 2004.

And we also know that that scope

of a time period is so small

for the alleged crimes committed by Maxwell.

We know that she was rolling with Epstein

for a lot longer than that.

So this just started happening in 94.

And in 2004, she just decided to stop.

So I don't buy any of that.

Obviously, the prosecutors,

they believe that this is their strongest argument.

They think that this is where they have the most evidence.

So this is the route that they're going to go.

I'm talking about as an observer

of this, it is a little crazy to think

that this could be the scope

when we all know how long these two

were hanging out and active together.

Her crimes included engaging

in group sexual encounters

with Epstein and an underage girl

identified in court documents

as minor victim one from 1994

to 1997.

Prosecutors charged in the indictment

against her.

So for those three years,

according to prosecution,

Maxwell was engaging in group sexual encounters

with Epstein and the underage girl.

From 94 to 97,

so for three years,

according to this charge,

it wasn't just enabling.

It wasn't just Maxwell

as Jeffrey Epstein's fixer or socialite.

She was actually partaking in the abuse

according to some of these survivors.

And I think that that's a big part

of all of this.

She's not just an enabler.

And when her lawyer is trying

to set her up like she was a victim

of Jeffrey Epstein,

that's why it falls flat with me.

She wasn't some shrinking

violet from a broken home,

coming from a war-torn nation

where she needed Epstein.

This was a symbiotic relationship

where they were both profiting

from these moves.

So when the defense inevitably tries

to set her up as a victim

moving forward here,

it's going to be laughable, right?

And be on the lookout for it.

You know what's coming.

With each victim,

she allegedly encouraged the girls

to provide Epstein with massages

that would escalate into sexual abuse.

During massages,

with minor victim 1, for example,

the teen and Maxwell

would both engage in sex acts

with Epstein the indictment states.

The crimes she's accused of

are sensational

and will spark an emotional reaction

among jurors before evidence

in the cases presented.

Legal experts told the post.

It's one of the reasons

the cards are stacked against

Maxwell at the trial.

And why prosecutors

may win a conviction,

the expert said.

Well, in my opinion,

that plays a part in it, right?

Definitely. But I think the evidence

is enough.

And I think that there's a substantial

amount of that evidence

that's going to lead the jurors

to find out again.

I don't have any faith

in the federal judicial system.

I don't have any faith

in Judge Nathan,

or in fact in any of these other

other judges for that matter.

But I think that the evidence

is so mountainous,

so high,

and there's such an abundance of it,

you would have to be an absolute

bumbling fool

to screw this up.

But just how

the trial will play out

and if Maxwell will take the stand

in our own defense,

remains up in the air.

Legal experts

and experienced trial attorneys

who spoke to the post,

described potential picks

in the trial.

But just how

the trial will play out

and if Maxwell will take the stand

in our own defense,

remains up in the air.

It falls Maxwell's legal team

could face that trial.

As well as strategies

that may win her favor

with the jury

in their final bid

to spring the disgrace

socialite from behind bars.

So again, that's one of the biggest questions, right?

And it's what most of us are wondering.

What is going to take place

in that courtroom?

What can we expect?

What's going to happen?

We know in cases like this

it's explosive.

We know that if you're going to go after the survivors,

it is very tenuous ground for you,

a very slippery slope

as the defense.

And we know that

Maxwell's team has signal

that they're going to go that route.

So I don't think it's going to work out for them.

I'll tell you that much.

In their opening statement,

prosecutors will likely

explain the charges against her

without exaggerating or overperforming.

Said former assistant US attorney

and experienced trial lawyer

Jean Rossi.

That makes sense, right?

You don't need to overperform.

These charges are heinous enough

that them alone being explained

should be good enough.

And it also plays into the whole

salaciousness of this.

People who report on it

who have to go the extra mile

it's salacious enough as it is.

This is so crazy this story

if I didn't know as much about it as I do

I wouldn't even believe it.

So they don't need to overperform.

They just need to make their case

in a nice

uniform manner.

I expect them to be very cautious

but firm, strategic

but not inflammatory.

They will underpromise yet overperformed

at trial Rossi said

it's the other district

of New York prosecutors.

It's kind of like one of the doctor, right?

You know, he tells you

you might have six months left to live

but then you have three years

and he looks like the hero.

So they'll go in and they'll

underperform at first

and then overperform during the trial

according to Rossi.

Which is probably a good strategy, right?

Don't go crazy.

Don't try and, you know,

paint it as something it's not.

Anytime you have underage sex trafficking,

that charge alone inflames

passions and biases of any jury.

The potential biases of jurors

could actually work in Maxwell's favor,

not least because of her gender,

said Jennifer Rogers,

a lecturer at Columbia Law School.

Yeah, I don't buy that, honestly.

I mean, I guess it could work that way

if you had a

sympathetic client

but I don't see Maxwell as being that

a sympathetic client.

So I think if they're going to rely on that,

they're going to be in big trouble,

especially considering that we all know

that 38% of traffickers are women

in the first place.

Jerry's are often sympathetic

to women defendants generally

and if they can painter as a type of victim

of Epstein's as well,

that might work in their favor in this regard, she said.

But at the same time,

her gender could be a pitfall

for the defense team Rogers added.

It might not like that she is a woman

helping abuse young women,

she said. Yeah, that's a understatement.

Pretty sure that the jurors aren't going to be too fond of that.

The very fact that she was a woman

likely made the victim's survivors

trust her more.

Possibly leading to more and more serious abuse

than would otherwise have occurred.

So this sort of betrayal of her sex

might offend at least some of the jurors

Rogers added and that's definitely

a possibility.

I mean, what sort of human being

wouldn't be offended by that sort of thing.

The last thing you want to hear about

is, you know,

a woman helping groom little girls

for Mr. Egg Dick himself.

Her defense attorneys may run

into similar landmines with the jury

if they attempt to painter as a victim

the experts added.

Maxwell 59 was born in France

and raised in luxury as the daughter

of media tycoon Robert Maxwell

who died in mysterious circumstances

in 1991.

After her father's death,

Maxwell developed a persona

in the British and American media

as a wealthy socialite

who built relationships with powerful men

across the globe

in part because of her romantic involvement

with Epstein.

That was the cover story, right?

I suggest anybody who wants to see how this kind of thing works.

Check out the show of the Americans

if you're interested

in how cover stories work for assets

or for spies.

These people will act like they're

part of a community, get a job,

the whole line,

all to forward their scheme,

their plot.

And for me, I'm convinced at this point

that Maxwell and Epstein,

they've never had any kind of

romantic inclinations.

It was always something built

in a business perspective.

Maxwell and Epstein socialized

and were photographed with,

Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton,

Donald Trump, and numerous other

businessmen, politicians and media figures.

An Epstein accuser

Virginia Roberts Epstein's survivor,

okay?

Virginia Roberts has claimed she was

trafficked by Epstein to the powerful

men in his orbit,

including Prince Andrew,

the British royal denies the allegation.

This charmed lifestyle

that Maxwell led could make the argument

that she's actually a victim of Epstein,

a tough pill to swallow

for the Jerry Rossi said,

very much so.

Think about it. All of this money,

all of this power,

educated, and you want us to believe

that you were a victim,

that you couldn't have walked away from Epstein

at any time you wanted.

It's BS, it's BS story,

anyone would even give it a moments,

worth of thinking about.

It's ridiculous.

She's a socialite on steroids,

he said. She's an intelligent,

mature, forceful woman,

flying around the world on private jets,

staying in fancy hotels.

I don't think the theory that she is being used

is going to play well.

I think that would insult the intelligence

of the Jerry he added.

It certainly insults our intelligence,

doesn't it? It's an absolute joke.

The fact that she even tried to get money

from the victim's fund.

All of it is an absolute joke.

It's a black eye to the justice system

and it's laughable at best.

But her defense team could painter

as the victim of federal prosecutors

who twice failed to exact justice

on sexual predator, Jeffery Epstein.

Epstein killed himself, allegedly,

in 2019, in a lower Manhattan jail cell,

while a waiting trial

on sex trafficking charges

brought by the same prosecutor's office

that arrested Maxwell.

Well, they were committing the crimes together

in the same neck of the woods,

so it would be the same prosecutors

to go after them.

Now don't get it twisted.

I am not a fan of the SDNY.

I don't really think that they're

as great at their job as other people do

and I think that letting Maxwell

at all from any point

has been terrible.

Until his bust in 2019,

Epstein had escaped federal prosecution

for sex trafficking

because of a non-prosecution agreement

he inked with the Justice Department

in 2008.

The deal secretly settled a probe

that included 40 underage girls

and Epstein pleaded guilty to state charges

in Florida

and served just 13 months in prison.

Since Maxwell's arrest,

her attorneys have argued

repeatedly that she's escaped

to the Justice Department

and was arrested because the feds

failed to bring Epstein to trial.

It's, again, ridiculous

and it just shows you that they don't have

anything.

They don't have any kind of evidence

in my opinion that's going to get her off.

They're relying on technicalities

and evidence that they've relied on from the jump.

And you see it here,

okay, oh, she's escaped,

goat, she's a victim,

not that she didn't do this,

and then the other argument is,

oh, well, one of them or two of them

were over the age you can sense,

so it's okay.

It is just gross to me.

It's an argument long time celebrity

defense attorney, Mark Garagos,

said he expects to be raised in Maxwell's case.

There's been kind of a shift

between the monster to Maxwell,

the mastermind.

The cynic in me thinks that defense

will point that out.

Garagos told the post,

only from the legacy media and it's again

this is how the legacy media has failed you, folks.

They should have been painting Maxwell

as a monster the whole time as well

because that's what she is

according to these survivors.

But no, still socialite.

This, that, the other thing.

And the band plays on, doesn't it?

Sinically, if Epstein was still alive,

I don't think you would have seen this shift he added.

No, if Epstein was still alive,

it would have had to have been a rico case then, right?

Or at the very least, criminal conspiracy?

Maxwell has maintained her innocence

or arrest and has appealed numerous times

to be released on bail

from the Brooklyn federal lockup

where she's being held.

Her lawyers have argued repeatedly

in court filings that she's subject

to horrific conditions in the

federal polytin detention center,

including sexual abuse by guards

during daily pat down searches.

Please, that's so ridiculous.

I mean, have you been to the airport lately?

Have you seen what the TSA is up to?

Pretty sure it's about the same

that Maxwell's getting.

The conditions of her incarceration would make her decision to testify at trial,

especially risky garagos added.

She's in custody by all accounts

in a deplorable situation.

That can be mentally debilitating,

he said.

You're up against a very skilled prosecutor who's slept in their own bed,

who's well fed,

who's got rest.

On the stand, it's a mental jujitsu for the client.

She's already from a cycle and mental standpoint added disadvantage.

And that's why you don't see a lot of these people take the stand in their own defense.

It's very difficult going.

And if they put Maxwell up there,

I think it's going to work out bad for them.

Honestly.

If Maxwell does take the stand,

which is her decision,

it will likely make or break the trial for her Jennifer Rogers added.

In any case where the defendant testifies,

it tends to become the focal point

for the jury.

And if she doesn't do well,

it will be devastating to her case,

she told the post.

In an interview with the Associated Press,

published Friday,

Maxwell's brother, Ian Maxwell,

said her trial has been exaggerated in the media

and designed to break her.

That's how the federal system works, Mr. Maxwell.

Sorry, my friend.

Welcome to the party.

It's the most overripe trial of the century

without a doubt, Ian Maxwell said.

This is designed to break her.

I can't see on any other way to read it.

And she will not be broken because

she believes completely in her innocence

and she is going to give the best

account she can he continued.

If there are any fireworks at the trial,

they're likely to come in the prosecutor's

closing statement, said Jean Rossi.

They'll stick to the charges in the opening.

Then in the closing,

they can go full throttle

and give a full court press he said.

Closings could be Armageddon.

Well, there you have it.

And that is what we're looking at, folks.

As we get ready for this trial to kick off

and get underway.

For me, like I've said,

I planned on going there for the whole thing,

but once it came from July,

it just was not in the cards for me.

But I will be there for these closing arguments

that he's talking about

and the whole full throttle situation

sounds like it's my cup of tea.

So you can guarantee your boy

will be in New York first week of January.

to get into that courtroom,

some of those overflow rooms,

then so be it.
