Ghislaine Maxwell Prosecution Reveals Nearly 3 Million Pages of Evidence

Source: Newsweek

Ghislaine Maxwell's prosecutors have disclosed 2.7 million pages of evidence to her lawyers in her Jeffrey Epstein trafficking case, a court filing has revealed.

The British socialite is awaiting trial in July on allegations she groomed underage girls for the New York financier to abuse.

Maxwell, a friend of Prince Andrew, denied the original allegations and is expected to enter a plea to a new indictment containing claims from a fourth victim later this month.

Her lawyers have repeatedly complained about her not having enough time to work on her case while in jail at the Metropolitan Detention Center, Brooklyn.

Get a bunch of para legals to scan every page for:

1) Trumps name, Jared, or his other male spawn.

2) The name of any U.S. House Representative or U.S. Senator

3) The name of any Governor.

4) The name of any large donor

It appears that the ONLY thing that can repulse his 70 million voters is if they are proven hypocritical child molesters.......
That would be a slam dunk..........game over.........

The dumpster, aka the other guy, has got to be in there at least a couple of times. I have a feeling there's several people nervous about these papers.

Guess they start with page 1 & work till it's finished.

Quite a daunting task & what's even worse, is what they'll have to read thru.
I think one may need therapy after seeing the sick stuff within the 3 million pages of evidence.

If a 500 pg ream of paper is 2" thick and if you have 1000000 pages, divide that by 500, you get 2000 stacks of 500. 2000 stacks at 2" each is 4000." 4000" divided by 12" ( 1ft ) is 333 ft of stacked paper. Even half that, allowing for front and back printing of every page, is over 165 ft stacked.

Triple that for 3 million.

No matter how high you stack it or how thin you slice it, that is a shitload if evidence.

Picture a case of copier paper. Most people have seen that. A case contains 5,000 sheets of paper. That means 200 cases to make one million. Even counting both sides of the sheet, that's 100 cases.

(I was a printer for nearly 40 years, so I've handled many millions of sheets of paper.)

I believe this particular cookie will crumble messy, far, and wide, and snare more than a handful of sacred cows and brokers currently pretending a greater relevance than reality may otherwise state.

that she's lived this long. I cannot imagine her surviving through a full trial. Too many skeletons of the rich and famous to be revealed. As with Epstein, there will an abrupt ending in jail at some point, I'm sure.

What about the margins? That seems like an imaginary number made up to intimidate the defense and influence public opinion.

And that's assuming it's ALL double sided.

I find that difficult to believe.

Of course it doesn't have to be all 'physical sheets of paper' (I would hope digital submission is allowed in this day and age), but it helps to be able to visualize what it would look like if it were.

Scanned into a computer, there are programs that will do word searches extremely quickly. Words, names, combinations of words, dates etc. can be found and accessed incredibly efficiently

Is that even possible to get through in a trial? Does that mean she’ll be waiting in jail forever and never tried?

In those documents. Every one of them. Hopefully, some of these men are sweating bullets this evening knowing the shoe is going to drop.
