Ghislaine Maxwell pressed ahead with an appeal to the Supreme Court on Monday, seeking to overturn her conviction on the grounds that she was unlawfully prosecuted for sex trafficking minors with Jeffrey Epstein.

    It would be worth your time to listen to this legal breakdown on what the appeal is about and why she’s likely to succeed. TL;DR - Blame the prosecutors that gave Jeffrey Epstein that sweetheart deal. It was even more sweetheart than it appeared on the surface.

    If I were an American I’d be insulted by the constant dog and pony show. Just let her out. you know that’s what’s happening, why go through the show for the peasants?

      If they are watching the show they aren’t doing any about the human rights violations or brutal dismantling of crucial institutions.

    Ok, I did not see it going this way, but at least it cements the fact that she was, in fact, a big cheese in the operation.

    They’ll overturn it. She’ll go free, and the raping bastards won’t lose anything and it will go back to the way it was before Epstein fucked it all up for the elite.

    I’m pretty sure everyone in prison is not really allowed to “press ahead with an appeal” to the Supreme Court without doing a few more rounds in the lower courts first. And that’s presuming there’s something they want to look at.

    My guess is even the crooked-ass disgusting SCROTUS doesn’t want to touch this with a stick.

      We gave total control of our federal government to conservatives and conservatives shouldn’t even be allowed to tie their shoes without assistance.

        And apparently according to recent polls the absolute brain rotted dumb fuck conservative majority of this country are more supportive of Republicans than Democrat voters are of Democrats.

        If an election were to happen tomorrow Trump would almost certainly win again maybe with an even larger margin… we’re so boned.

    She doesn’t lie, but she withholds Trump’s guilt and any important allies and billionaires. She only gives Dems names, or anyone trump is enemies with or just OK with taking the fall. She gets pardon or reduced sentence. Maga cult believes every word as if it was in the bible.

    Obviously who knows, really. Time will tell. But we’d hardly be surprised.

    Trump is in there. But there’s also lots of other wealthy powerful people in there. The massive amount of money laundering and connection to Israel.

    Trump diddling kids aside, all the rest might shed a light on corruption to a scale that could cause a big enough shock to society that the powers that be just don’t want to risk. Just vaguely speculating obviously. Who knows if we’ll ever get the real scoop.

    They’re going to have the Supreme Court overturn her conviction so Trump doesn’t have to suffer the fallout from pardoning her himself…
