Kristy Greenberg: THE CASE FOR CHARGING GHISLAINE MAXWELL WITH LYING TO THE DOJ

"Ghislaine Maxwell lied repeatedly during her interview with DOJ Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. Making false statements to a federal officer is a crime. Former SDNY Criminal Division Deputy Chief Kristy Greenberg walks through the evidence of Maxwell's lies and makes the case for why the DOJ should charge Maxwell with making false statements in her interview with Blanche."

As Fred Schneider wrote about Ghislaine Maxwell last week: 

"We have an expression... or joke, here at The New Democrat about liars. And it goes something like: "She has the credibility of a compulsive liar". And if we were talking about a man here... replace "she" with "he" in our little expression. If the Southern District of New York didn't have Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein dead to rights on the sex trafficking, where Epstein is probably looking at life in prison, if he didn't take his own life and went to trial and Maxwell got 20 years, she would be a convicted perjurer right now, as well.

And yet this is the person that Trump.Inc wants to use as their character witness to prove that Mr. Trump wasn't seriously involved with either of these distinguished individuals. Back in 2017, President Trump said he thought the U.S. Department of Justice was his own personal law firm. 8 years later, looks like he's gotten that wish."

I just want to focus on 1 point that Kristy Greenberg made, first and then I'll get into what I really want to talk about here. 

Ghislaine Maxwell said she wasn't present and didn't participate at sex acts recorded by Jeffrey Epstein's victims. And the more obvious lie here, is that she hardly knew Jeffrey Epstein at all. So I guess when they were hugging each in those photos and on video... Epstein even kissed her a few times, that was just love at first sight, but they never went even further than that. Or they mistook each other for other people. Or another possibly and the fact in this case: they already knew each other very well. 

The 2nd point I want to focus on here, Ghislaine Maxwell said that she had no clue that there was anything "shady" going on in Jeffrey Epstein's world. But as Fred Schneider said last week: 

"So Kristy Greenberg's point here is that you don't let the defendant (or in this case convict) get to decide for you what is "inappropriate" and what is "appropriate". She's been in prison for 5 years now because she was convicted of a lot of inappropriate actions. (And based on the evidence, did some really inappropriate things) And we're not talking about serial jaywalker, (if you are a serial jaywalker, stay out of Washington and Chicago right now) or a shoplifter, who only steals because they are addicted to gum. 

In Ghislaine Maxwell's case, we're talking about a sex trafficker, who was involved with Jeffrey Epstein in this criminal enterprise, for 20-25 years, before they finally got caught in 2019. But according to Deputy Attorney General Blanche, she qualifies as someone who knows the difference between "appropriate" and "inappropriate". If Ghislaine Maxwell knows anything about "inappropriate", she knows how to behave very badly. And even how to get way with it, up to a point. She was a woman behaving very badly, for. a very long time. 

And if the Deputy Attorney General of the United States is going to make Ghislaine Maxwell a spokesperson for what's "appropriate" and "inappropriate"... why stop there? Why not he invite the Idaho college serial murderer Bryan Kohberger to give a series of speeches on the importance of human life and being pro-life? He could give those speeches from his prison cell since we all know how private of an individual he his and doesn't like coming out of his closet very often...

Kristy Greenberg calls that a lie saying that Maxwell lied when she said: 

"I never saw anything shady going on in Mr. Epstein's world". 

But I think "inappropriate" is a better word here because it's clearer and gets right to the point. And when you are a sex trafficker, sex trafficking probably seems "appropriate" to you. Just like a rapist who thinks that the women that he raped, wouldn't get sexy any other way, or would never get better sex, then what they got from him, so he was just doing them a favor. Or a serial murderer who thinks that his victims deserved to die. Both the murderer and rapist would be 100% wrong, but you can be wrong without lying. 

I never met Ghislaine Maxwell or Jeffrey Epstein, (I guess God has been looking out for me in this case) and I'm not a psychologist, but I'm thinking Maxwell hates prison so much right now, it's so different from her former life and she's been able to follow the news enough in prison, she clearly knew Donald Trump before he became President and maybe she thinks she has a credible dossier about him. 

I think what Maxwell is thinking here is, that if she tells Trump.Inc everything they want to hear, including lying her head off to make The Donald look good here and risk future perjury charges against her from a different DOJ, that Trump DOJ will go easy on her and perhaps even let her out of prison well before her current release date. I think that's her play for freedom right now. And we'll see if it works or not.
