Ghislaine Maxwell's Treatment to Be Reported to United Nations, Brother Says

The British socialite will go before a jury at the end of the month accused of sex trafficking underage girls for New York financier Jeffrey Epstein to abuse. She has pleaded not guilty.

Ian Maxwell, her brother, went on BBC Radio 4 in Britain to accuse the U.S. authorities of treating her "abominably."

He said: "Her voice has not been heard, not just because she's been banged up in isolation and treated abominably, by any system.

"I think it's been designed to break her and to weaken her and to make it very hard for her to be able to concentrate and prepare adequately for trial.

These are the same SOB's that have starved governments and criminal justice systems by cutting and dodging taxes. Maybe Maxwell should some time in a private prison in Texas or Arizona, and then talk.

Poisoning the DOJ well?

There will probably be much more disgusting attempts, considering the charges she faces.

So, if you consider the court in the Hague to be part of the UN. Then she most certainly should be heard by one branch of the UN.

on social media and maybe play off some of tRump's defensive tricks, like threaten people who could be useful, etc.

I've heard a few federal prosecutors say that wealthy criminals often really don't see themselves as criminals, not criminals! and are shocked and disbelieving when they're arrested and treated as if they were.

if trump did not have epstein's videotape she would be free and followed until she led them to the tapes.

who has the tapes? most of those repubs seem to jump when trump tells them.
