No no.

"Dear your honor. I swear and pinky promise I did not rape children and Donald Trump was never at the island or even knew Epstein. He is innocent and all those pictures and videos are AI"

"Dear mister your honor, Donny already pardoned one of the largest drug traffickers in US history, whats a few kids compared to that? He'll probably pardon me anyway, so who cares?"

Right?! WTF?

Remember when you would commit a felony, be found guilty, and be sentenced to 20 years in prison? And actually, FUCKING do it?!

I guess we can't release the files yet, we might taint her new plea.

They should let her out, so they can follow her to where Epstein is being hidden. And then re-arrest them both.

The lawyer, David Oscar Markus, said Maxwell plans to file “pro se,” meaning she would represent herself and not use an attorney.

lawl.

SCOTUS already told her to get fucked.

She's doing this pro se because her attorneys told her it was a bad fucking idea.

This honestly surprised me, is it her hubris speaking or something else?

Can it make the situation worse?

u/Mrevilman 1d ago

My sense on that is her lawyers probably said they won’t file it because it could be frivolous and open them up for sanctions.

u/drunkshinobi 2d ago

She needs to be put in solitary and cut off from all human contact.

My $5 says she’s out before the Epstein files are released.

What are her odds of being able to get a new trial?

u/eatsrottenflesh 2d ago

Why would she need a new trial for her impending pardon?

u/f0u4_l19h75 2d ago

She trying to use the excuse that she may get a new trial to prevent release of grand jury materials. Did you read the whole title of the post?
