"Your honor, I object!"
"Why is that?"
"It's devastating to my case!"
Gracious no, we wouldn't want one of his primary accomplices to be inconvenienced by people seeing the full details of your actions...
Cool. Release the files.
Why would that be? What could possibly be in those files, that makes her look even more guilty than a convicted sex trafficker?
It never occurred to me that releasing these files might cause child traffickers and rapists to actually have CONSEQUENCES. The horror. Anyways...
If it can, then it should. This should all be public information, and every unredacted detail should be made clear to the public so that no one can overlook it.
"Prejudiced" by seeing the facts of the case? Right. That's kind of the point, yes.
Good?
If your appeal requires everyone to have less information about what really went down, then I think were better off with you not having your appeal heard, no?
It's a risk we all are willing to take.
Sounds good to me
There's no way "more information I don't have could be incriminating" can be spun positively, so we have this from her lawyers.
Everything is so backwards. Releasing facts and proof someone knowingly trafficked children to be raped might have an affect on their appeal!? That's exactly why they need to be released. So the crimes that happened have a light shown on them, and victims have a chance for some semblance of justice.
Oh no. Anyways
"Out of respect for ~~this fucking criminal~~ Maxwell we've decided not to release the files in their entirety. We wish her the best!"
Good
I think her lawyer is probably thinking that, if the files are released, he has an argument he can use to legally maneuver around her appeal and get her a better outcome (from her point of view).
If her complaint results in the files not being released, then she presses Trump even harder for a presidential pardon.
The Presidential Pardon would invalidate the basis for the Epstein Files not being released. (Not that I think Trump would understand that.)
We live in a post-truth society. Facts don't matter anymore. Sadly.
Please become an hero, Ghislaine.
Too fucking bad, cunt.
Boo hoo!
