Mega Edition: Ghislaine Maxwell And Her Failed Attempts To Seal Information (3/18/26)

0:00President Barack Obama. Virginia, we are counting on you. Republicans want to steal enough seats in Congress to raid the next election and wield unchecked power for two more years. But you can stop them by voting yes by April 21st. Help put our elections back on a level playing field and let voters decide not politicians. Vote yes by April 21st. Paid for by Virginians for fair elections. All right, let's jump into this article from ABC News and let's see what author James Hill has to say headline judge denies glaine Maxwell's request for private jurors screening. I mean, they live in this fantasy world where they think that anything that they want they're going to get and up until recently that's the case, right? But now in this case, glaine Maxwell and her team are learning that's not how it's how how we're rocking anymore. So all of your technicalities,

1:01your loopholes, your ps that shit's dying on the vine. A federal judge on Thursday denied request for from glaine Maxwell the accused accomplice. Co-conspirator general all around scumbag, fellow child abuser and bipedal serpent of deceased sex offender pedophile Jeffrey Epstein to have prospective jurors for her criminal trial question privately outside the view of the public and the press and to keep a jury questionnaire under seal. Maxwell's attorneys had argued that the extraordinary measures were necessary to effectively screen for potential bias and for exposure to a tsunami of publicity about the high profile sex trafficking case. I mean, wow. A breaking news. I don't know where you're going to find somebody who is not biased against alleged child traffickers, child abusers and co-vorters of people like Jeffrey Epstein.

2:04Pretty hard not to find people that aren't biased. I guess you'd have to go to New York high society to find those people, right? I wonder what Alan Dershowitz is doing. Think Leon Black wants to sit on the jury. I mean, that's how ludicrous these people are. I'm sure that Glenn Maxwell's team is pining for that. Let's get us some high society individuals on the on the jury. That way we can get ourselves off. Obviously hyperbole from me there, but what does that even mean? No, everyone is biased against people who are children except other people who are children. So good luck. I mean, good luck. But the fact that judge Nathan smacked them down here and said not the public's going to see the process. The public is going to see what's going on here and none of your winging or gnashing of the teeth is going to make a difference. This case amplifies the likelihood that jurors will be more apprehensive and

3:04constrained to respond openly and honestly in an open court within earshot of other jurors, members of the public and the media. Maxwell attorney Bobby sternum wrote in a court filing last week. I mean, look, I get it, right? Got to do that for your client and Maxwell's team had to try and make this move. Here's the problem. And this is what I've been pointing out from the very beginning. And I really not too many other people are talking about it. The fact of the matter is this, have you heard any of her lawyers come out and talk about her innocence? All they've talked about is her conditions in jail, the technicalities, the media, the members of the public. They're trying to set it up for the appeal. That's all they're doing. They know they're cooked. They have zero shot at this trial. There's not much I'm sure about in this world, but I'm pretty sure that they have zero shot at this trial. And you can see that with the way her team is behaving,

4:08the way they're going about her defense and the way they're going balls to the wall with the technicalities and the loopholes. They understand these aren't stupid people, these lawyers. They understand that if they get into a courtroom and Maxwell gets, you know, a cross examined by Alice in Mo, it's going to be an absolute disaster. So what do you do? Try not to go to trial in the first place, right? And that's certainly what they're up to. They don't want to go to trial, folks. No way, no how. The proposal from Maxwell's defense team, which federal prosecutors opposed, would have been a departure from typical procedure in the Manhattan federal court where her trial is scheduled. In most instances, a judge conducts screenings of groups of prospective jurors in open court after consulting with prosecutors and defense counsel about the questions to be posed. And if this is good for the goose, good for the gander. She's always expecting some kind

5:12of special treatment. And once again, whenever I hear about her and special treatment, I just think about Khalif Browder. And any sort of empathy I had for Maxwell goes right out the window. I don't care about your sitting in your jail cell. Oh, how bad, how rough on you. You can't go to your parties. Oh, how terrible. No empathy for her. In court filings last week, prosecutors contended that Maxwell had presented no persuasive reason to depart from the well-established practice. Absolutely. If everybody else goes about it this way and everybody else has to go about it this way, so does Maxwell. Breaking news, Golan Maxwell, breaking news, Maxwell family. You're not in London anymore. You're in the fucking United States of America. And you're going to pay the price. The party is over for you people. The court should ask most questions in open court and ask

6:16sensitive questions such as those that relate to sexual abuse and media exposure at Sidebar, wrote Assistant US Attorney Alison Moe. And that's the procedure that they usually use, right? So why should it be changed here? Well, this is the first case ever where there's sensitive material, of course not. There's procedure for all of this. But Maxwell thinks she's a Bob at all, folks. Think she's better than everybody. Breaking news, baloney sandwich eater, you're not. Enjoy your stay at the courtesy of the American taxpayer. But Maxwell's lawyers argue those conventional procedures are inadequate to ferret out potential bias and prejudice because of the sensitive nature of the charges and the intense negative media coverage about Maxwell and Epstein in every conceivable form. Well, yeah, that's what happens, okay? I hope this is a warning shot over the bow to the rest of these fucking disgusting people.

7:17We're not going to tolerate your bullshit anymore. We're paying attention now. You want to us locked up in our houses for 19 months? Well, guess what? Time to reap what you sow. Negative media coverage. That's usually what happens when you're running a human trafficking ring that abuses children and women. Just saying, the negative publicity has been so pervasive, vitriolic and extreme that mixed mismatch well has been demonized in the press during a moment. No, wrong. She's been demonized by her own actions. Nice try to refurbish her image here, but that's not going to work. Zero chance. That's working. The coverage has been this way because they have avoided justice for so long and people have had enough. Even their pals in the legacy media are forced to report on it now. And I know that much must stick in their crawl when they have to do it, but you know, private and individual questioning

8:23would encourage a potential, potential jurors to answer questions more completely and honestly because the jurors would not be influenced by or influenced. The answer is given by fellow jurors or fear and embarrassment and giving an honest response during a matter. What? All of a sudden she's the advocate of all these jurors. Oh, I don't want them to feel uncomfortable. Shut up. All right. So glad that Judge Nathan told them to kick rocks here. Such a ridiculous ask, folks, an absolutely ridiculous ask. Always about the special treatment for this lady and at the same time, crying that she's being treated so bad. US District Judge Alison Nathan, who's overseeing Maxwell's trial, also denied her a quest to allow Maxwell's lawyers and prosecutors to question each potential juror individually for up to three minutes after the court concludes its inquiries. The initial jury pool for the case is estimated to include about 600 people who will fill out jury questionnaires in early November. Nathan

9:28said she expects to reduce the pool to about 50 to 60 people before she questions each perspective juror in person. The final panel will consist of 12 jurors and six alternates. So this is pretty much standard operating procedure, right? They weed down the pool of jurors, a nice big pool of 600 people, right? It gives you a nice wide range of people. Then they whittle that down to 50 or 60. Then she questions those 50 or 60 and they decide who the 12 jurors are going to be in conjunction with the defense and the prosecution. So I'm very interested to watch this process unfold again. I'm not like somebody who usually follows the procedural, right? So this is all kind of new to me as far as, you know, the nuances of all of this. So it's always nice to learn something along the way. Late Wednesday, the reporters committee for Freedom of the Press and a coalition of 17 media

10:32organizations registered objections to Maxwell's proposed secrecy surrounding the jury selection process. So the news media obviously is is dead set on having this stuff be open to the public. And it's nice to see that the, you know, the media is finally paying attention here instead of trying to, you know, run cover for their friends. But it's funny that ABC News is one of these outlets that was arguing for this, considering they had a Virginia Roberts interview that they squashed. So talk about it. The questioning is a critical stage of criminal proceedings. And the public interest in favor of access is correspondingly waiting. RCFP attorney Katie Townsend wrote in a letter to the US District Judge Allison Nathan, who's overseeing Maxwell's case. The media coalition, which includes ABC News, argued that a proposed jury questionnaire that was filed under

11:35seal last week by Maxwell's attorneys without government objection should be made part of the public record. Maxwell's lawyers contended the documents should remain sealed to avoid media coverage that may prejudice the jury selection process. So again, this is just all the back and forth that you see in cases like this between the lawyers just at a higher degree because of the level of this case. So these, they're right now as we speak. I guarantee these lawyers are going back and forth behind the scenes trying to hammer out the particulars. I mean, we're only a little more than a month out from the trial. So things are going to start moving a lot quicker now. President Barack Obama Virginia, we are counting on you. Republicans want to steal enough seats in Congress to raid the next election and wield unchecked power for two more years. But you can stop them by voting yes by April 21st. Help put our elections back on a level playing field and let

12:40voters decide not politicians vote yes by April 21st. Paid for by Virginians for fair elections. Given jurors the opportunity to view the questionnaire before they come to court to fill it out is like a take home exam and they can fill out all the answers and do all the research and decide what answers they want to put on those papers sternum said during the hearing Thursday. I think there's an opportunity for people motivated to want to sit on this Jerry for a variety of reasons. That's valid. I you know what I got to give her you know the tip of the cap there. That is a valid concern. If I was being tried I'd be worried about that too. We all know how people like to insert themselves and stuff like this. Everybody wants to be the hero. Everybody wants to be you know the the superstar of the show and there's a lot of crazy people out there.

13:41So I could see that as a one valid concern right but not valid enough for me to jump on board with them if I was the the judge. But Nathan rule that Maxwell generalized concerns about media coverage we're not sufficient to overcome the public's first amendment right of access to court proceedings including the Jerry selection process hallelujah imagine that the Constitution being upheld holy shit what country am I in. The public has a right to access the first amendment okay. A lot of times we forget about that and we forget that our constitutional rights are being trampled on on a regular basis these days. The party's sole rationale for sealing the submission is to avoid at a general level media coverage that may prejudice the Jerry selection process Nathan said but jurors are sworn to give true and complete answers to the

14:44questionnaire. If a juror is being dishonest we will smoke that out the judge added. So according to judge Nathan they're gonna smoke out anybody who is potentially up here playing games and according to her they're gonna have the proper Jerry pool ready to go. Maxwell 59 has pleaded not guilty to charges that she assisted, facilitated and contributed to Epstein's abuse of four minor girls from 1994 to 2004. Prosecutors alleged Maxwell befriended the young girls and helped to put them at ease knowing that they would eventually be sexually abused by Epstein and she took part okay. Let's be real. According to the survivors not only was she a facilitator she also took part in some of the abuse okay let's keep let's just let's be very frank about all of this. Maxwell's lawyers have argued in court filings that federal prosecutors pursue

15:46charges against her as a substitute for Epstein who died by suicide in New York what who died by suicide allegedly in a New York federal jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. Jerry selection is set to begin in Maxwell's case on November 15th with the trial schedule to open two weeks later. Oh well there you have it folks it's heating up we're getting closer to this day we're getting closer to see Maxwell in court and we're getting closer to justice and as I've said many times that train has left the station it's barreling down the tracks and heading directly for Galaine Maxwell.

16:55the description box. All right everyone and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles hope everybody's having a great Saturday morning out there and hopefully the rest of your weekend is even better. Today we're going to talk a little bit more about Galaine Maxwell and the new court filings that her and her team are trying to keep under wraps. Now we all know the situation with juror number 50 at this point and we all know that team Maxwell is pushing hard for a mistrial. Now to go along with all of that they have these new filings that they want to keep under seal because according to them they don't want juror number 50 to get any information that he might not have right they want to make sure that they're not making it easy for him if in the event he gets prosecuted or what have you now the prosecutors on the flip side of that they're calling for transparency

17:58which is crazy considering the federal government doesn't even have to spell transparency usually but at least in this case the prosecutors are saying no we don't want this stuff under seal and they're challenging the filings by the defense so it's going to come down to judge Nathan making a ruling on what's going to be sealed what's not going to be sealed and what's going to be for public consumption. Now you all know where I stand on this I think everything should be for public consumption anything that has been put to rest if you will stop court documents about Jeffrey Epstein or people who might be dead or arrested whatever all of that stuff should be public knowledge it should be open for the public to consume and there should be no transparency whatsoever when it comes to the Jeffrey Epstein criminal enterprise unless of course that we're keeping you know under wraps the name of people who were abused then of course you don't want

19:00that stuff out there I'm talking about information about those who were involved in the crimes there should be no blanket of secrecy there should be no trans there should be no protection it should be all transparent right once these people are outed once you know this case hits the court I don't want to hear about oh let's keep this under wraps anymore enough of that this is not a national security issue we don't have Boris over here from whatever the new version of the uh the security services in Russia trying to figure out what's up with Goliens Maxwell this is CYA type shit when they keep things sealed as far as the federal government like their investigation into what happened into the uh Jeffrey Epstein's death in the jailhouse it's not because it's national security it's because they don't want to have egg on their face and they know they drop the ball and we've experienced that so much here in the Jeffrey Epstein case and the

20:00investigation into what happened it has been a brick wall basically when you're looking for information and it has to do with Jeffrey Epstein's death forget about it but it's just been the way this case has been conducted from the very beginning so much secrecy people who should be outed not being outed and somehow these people the so-called elite continue to be protected thankfully that's starting to change and more people have had enough more people like you out there are not buying the bullshit line that's being fed to them and that's a good thing because there is a massive awakening going on and I'm not talking about any nonsense about uh you know this conspiracy theory or that I'm talking about in general amongst people around the world waking up and understanding that the circumstances that we find ourselves in are not good and when you have people like Jeffrey Epstein and the people protecting him at the very highest levers of control it's never going to work out well for the rest of us

21:06so if we can't come together and rally to stand up to people like Jeffrey Epstein and human traffickers then I don't know what sort of common ground we can find one thing I will say though is throughout this whole entire time I've been researching this case there have been people from all walks of the political spectrum who have come together and dropped all of their political BS beefs to work to try and bring justice here and I think that's the proper way forward right common ground I mean if we can't find common ground going after people like Epstein I don't even know what to say but thankfully most people who are interested in this case have only one goal in mind and that is bringing the people who are responsible for these heinous crimes to justice all right so we have an article today from Bloomberg headline Maxwell prosecutors oppose keeping uh keeping new trial request under seal this article was authored by Patricia

22:09her tato glaine Maxwell's prosecutor said her request for a new trial based on a juror's disclosure that he was the victim of childhood sexual abuse should be public a hundred percent like I just said in the monologue there honestly I don't believe that anything should be under seal at this point unless it has to do with privacy for the survivors if you're named as somebody in this case a person of interest somebody was hanging around Epstein sorry to say but any kind of privacy that you should be entitled to is out the window last month the british socialite you mean human trafficker Patricia her tato that's what she is a convicted felon not a socialite former socialite do we call uh you know Charlie Manson a former construction worker or whatever the hell he did before he killed people or sent people off to kill people do we call John Wayne Gacy the engaging loving clown no of course not call him a murder serial killer sick fuck just like

23:11a land Maxwell filed a request under seal with her lawyer Christian Everdele arguing on Tuesday that public disclosure would provide a road map for the juror and give him an improper preview of information he shouldn't have Maxwell's jury was anonymous and the man was only known as juror 50 during the trial so again what they're saying is they're reasoning for trying to keep this under seal is that it would give juror number 50 Scotty David kind of an idea of what's going on here and they don't want that to happen right they don't want him to be prepared they don't want his lawyer Todd Spodeck to be prepared so they're trying to keep it under seal and under wraps for as long as possible president Barack Obama Virginia we are counting on you Republicans want to steal enough seats in Congress to raid the next election and wield unchecked power for two more years but you can stop them by voting yes by April 21st help put our elections back on a level

24:16playing field and let voters decide not politicians vote yes by April 21st paid for by Virginians for fair elections prosecutor Maureen Comey on Friday rejected Maxwell's claims as unfounded arguing that there was no reason for the filings to remain sealed because the material was already made public by the juror when he spoke with the media make sense right dude spoke to the media gave up the information already what are you talking about under seal what's the deal with all of this sealed nonsense now obviously if you're Galen Maxwell and her team I could see why they'd want to keep everything sealed they know that it's a bad look for them no matter what happens maybe not in this instance so much but as far as documentation throughout this whole thing they knew that it would cast a bad light on their client so that's why Galen Maxwell and her team fought so hard to keep those documents from the original deposition

25:21out of the public light thankfully judge presco wasn't having it and she released a bunch of those documents and still more are on the way but if it was up to Galen Maxwell and her team everything would have been kept in the dark forever there can be no need to hide from public view a discussion of public materials call me said the defense a suggestion that her defense briefing contains information from some significant investigation into juror 50 is not accurate the motion does not contain any significant material that is not otherwise public so that's mori and komi pretty much poo pooing the idea telling the court look we don't need this to be sealed we don't need this to be kept under wraps there's nothing in there that would be considered detrimental so in our opinion meaning the prosecution's opinion we don't want this documentation sealed which is kind of funny considering mori and komi and friends usually love the seal shit

26:25several media organizations have also urged us district judge Alice and Nathan to unseal the proceedings max well who was convicted in December of enticing grooming and sexually abusing underage girls with her former boyfriend Jeffrey Epstein again you say right here in this article Mr. Tato that uh she was uh convicted of enticing grooming and sexually abusing underage girls but you still call her a socialite at the beginning okay make sense with her former boyfriend you mean co-conspirator fellow child abuser Jeffrey Epstein that's what you mean right not our boyfriend requested a new trial after the juror told several media outlets that his revelation of past sexual abuse helps sway other jurors to convict and again that's what his statement is right that's the way he sees things now i wonder if the other jurors see things quite that way do they feel like they were swayed by scottie david or is this another example of scottie david

27:26wanting to be the hero of the story well perspective jurors were asked whether they had been victims of sexual abuse the juror who identified himself as scottie david his first and middle names told Reuters that he flew through the jury questionnaire and again just a public service announcement if you're ever doing jury duty or you're called to sit in and you know be part of a jury probably a good idea to answer all of the questions truthfully probably a good idea not to fly through the questionnaire like you're taking a ninth grade math test abidabba the whole way through on your uh you know uh it's just it's ridiculous pay attention do the right thing and don't try and insert yourself in the story i just don't understand that whole entire mentality these people that want to be the story what you're doing is making things much more difficult on these survivors if this moron had never came out and spoke all this nonsense to the media just kept his mouth shut and didn't

28:27insert himself we wouldn't even be talking about this right now we'd be talking about sentencing you know all of the good stuff that comes after a conviction of an animal like Maxwell but no juror juror number 50 scottie david decided he'd come out run his fat yet and now here we are so hopefully all of this stuff that they're talking about remains unsealed and ready for public consumption because nobody trusts anything that's going on right nobody wants to hear about oh well this is under seal or the public can't consume this everyone's out of belly full of that and it's time for the federal government especially to just be correct when it comes to max wallet Epstein unseal all the documentation that should be unsealed everything that pertains to the case because nobody trusts the the official narrative from Jeffrey Epstein being uh killed or

29:30dying in prison or jail i mean to Epstein being protected by people in intelligence services nobody trusts the institutions anymore and that is the one thing that everybody seems to agree on he also said he didn't remember such a question but what have answered honestly if asked prosecutors have asked the judge to question the juror but Nathan hasn't ruled on the request so again we're really waiting on judge Nathan right that's what it all comes down to she's gonna make the decision she's gonna decide if this goes to more of an investigation if there is a mistrial or whatever it might be it all is going to rest on what judge Nathan eventually decides so we can speculate until that day comes right but we don't know what's going on in her head we don't know which way she's going to land hopefully it's uh on the side of transparency and all of this stuff remains unsealed but we all know how it works right we all know the deal with this kind

30:33of thing and how the federal government conducts itself they will say that there's an act of investigation when you try and get information about insert uh situation here you know many times people ran into that try and get freedom of information acts as far as Jeffrey uh Jeffrey Epstein's death what they'll say is well this is an ongoing and active investigation so we can't release any of this information to you and that is how the government gets by right when you when you file a freedom of information act that all they have to say is up this is an active investigation can help you and we see that so often with the federal government and we have seen that a lot with the Jeffrey Epstein case for sure especially after this dude's death now as far as Maxwell in the situation here again I don't really know how this is going to end up I don't know if Maxwell is going to get a mistrial I don't know right I'm just being honest with you folks I'm not going to sit here and say oh she's not she's not going to get a mistrial this is over and done with because

31:34we don't know my feeling is that judge Nathan isn't going to find enough here I feel that judge Nathan will eventually take a look at all of this and I believe that the conviction will stand now we can argue until the cows come home about Scotty David and his his conversation right wasn't improper wasn't it improper and there's a lot to argue there do I think that he should be talking to the media after a verdict such as this no probably not but that said the the the stipulations didn't state that they weren't allowed to speak to the media so you know you can't really blame them there but for me it certainly looks like he was less than truthful right and if that's the case then he's an absolute clown that's really what

32:35it comes down to if you're lying on the jury questionnaire you're lying to get on the jury because you have an axe to grind or something like that and it can end up leading to the situation we're in now then yeah you're a clown okay but I'm very interested to see which way this ends up as far as from a transparency perspective because it could tell the tale moving forward as far as what we're going to see unsealed and what we're going to see kept under wraps and personally I want everything dumped and when judge presca was um releasing all of those documents it was very very helpful to the investigation to the research because you can go and cross reference things now right it's one thing to hear a report source says it's a whole another thing when that same exact information is in court filings right it it brings a lot more weight to it so one can say whatever they want but when you say something under oath and it's in court documentation it brings a whole

33:38different feel to it because now you have the threat of perjury hanging over your head so if you're not truthful the federal government has the in to who really make your life miserable and hell and believe me they love to do it whenever you're sitting down with the FBI and they're doing one of their 302s oh they love to walk people into perjury traps president Barack Obama Virginia we are counting on you Republicans want to steal enough seats in Congress to raid the next election and wield unchecked power for two more years but you can stop them by voting yes by April 21st help put our elections back on a level playing field and let voters decide not politicians vote yes by April 21st paid for by Virginians for fair elections so it's going to be interesting moving forward to see how this transparency situation breaks down here and to see what what Judge Nathan decides i'm leaning towards no mistrial i'm leaning towards

34:45this conviction standing but that said Maxwell's definitely going to appeal one way or the other and then this case will get bumped up to the appeals court and they'll have a look and they'll have to say the one thing that a Maxwell can't be too happy about however is that the same appeals court that's going to get a look at this well Judge Nathan is going to be sitting on that appeals court soon so she's going to know the case in and out and i'm sure her colleagues will rely on her you know a adjudication of this case to get information from her clerks or whatever it might be so they have a full robust idea about what happened Maxwell and her chances moving forward i don't think they're very good folks and to be honest with you i can't see Golan Maxwell ever getting out of jail i think she's going to serve this whole sentence and at her age with the years she's facing looks like baloney sandwiches and jailhouse case at Diaz are on the menu for the rest of her life

35:50alright folks that's going to do it for this morning's episode i'll be back later on today at some point with some more but until then there's some context episodes coming your way hope that everybody has an awesome day if you'd like to contact me you can do that at bobby kapuchi at protonmail.com that's b-o b-b-y-c-a-p-u-c-c-i at protonmail.com you can also find me on twitter at b-o-b-b-y underscore-c-a-p-u-c-c-i the link that we discussed can be found in the description box President Barack Obama Virginia we are counting on you Republicans want to steal enough seats in Congress to raid the next election and wield unchecked power for two more years but you can stop them by voting yes by April 21st help put our elections back on a level playing field and let voters decide not politicians vote yes by April 21st paid for by Virginians for fair elections
