Ghislaine Maxwell's Silver Hammer could be a proffer

Convicted on 5 of 6 counts of sex trafficking a minor, Maxwell is looking at prison for the rest of her natural life.
Still prior to sentencing, but it would be interesting to know if she can still make a proffer about testifying against bigger fish. How many years off her sentence for offering up Prince Andrew or Trump or Clinton? And how eager would they be to take such a deal?

To what aim? Seriously.
I’d be shocked if she lasts more than a few years in prison. Perhaps she keeps her mouth shut if she’s sent to a country club.

Ms. Maxwell is used to a life of privilege. If she serves 20 years, she'll be 80 years old when she gets out. What you and I might consider a country club prison might not look like that to a woman used to private islands. It could be that whatever she has to offer is not worth the headache to the Justice Department. By going to trial she gambled and lost. Did she have a proffer that was turned down? Regardless, I'm not sure whether her guilty verdict is where the story ends.

A Latino Catholic jury would've declared her not guilty on all counts. Christians don't have a problem with god impregnating 14 year old Mary.

But the government is not interested in going after the parents and Giuffre.

Curiously, however, when it comes to what allegedly happened between Virginia and Prince Andrew, she has little sympathy for her former friend. ‘I don’t think she [Virginia] deserves any compensation. I don’t think she was coerced into doing anything.’ Although she believed her friend’s account at the time, Carolyn adds: ‘I don’t think Virginia deserves anything less than what Maxwell is getting because she trafficked me into a world of spiralling downward slopes ... She knew how old I was, and she knew I came from a broken home.

Not making the headlines; I guess people only want Trump or Clinton in jail.

Why would the government be interested in going after victims and their parents?

Depending on what legal system they live under, parents who knowingly and freely allow a minor child in their care to be subject to sexual abuse by third parties might well be held to be criminally liable.

At issue? Virginia Giuffre’s request to unseal documents that name names in her since-settled civil lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell, which led to a lengthy and ongoing open-records battle.
In December of last year, a Manhattan jury in Maxwell’s trial returned guilty verdicts in five of the six charges against her after six days of deliberations. Maxwell faced federal charges that included conspiracy, violations of the Mann Act, and sex trafficking a minor for her role as Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime confidante and now-convicted accomplice, related to what prosecutors described as Epstein’s “Pyramid scheme” of sexual abuse of minor girls.
Depending on what lies underneath the redactions, the unsealed information could make waves inside the same courthouse, and around the world.
Giuffre, one of Epstein’s many alleged victims, filed a federal lawsuit in New York in August of last year accusing Britain’s Prince Andrew of sexually abusing her on multiple occasions when she was 17 years old. Her lawsuit against Alan Dershowitz—and his countersuit against her—are also playing out in the Southern District of New York.
In a legal brief filed on Wednesday, Giuffre requested that the judge unseal the names of the John Does currently kept out of the public eye, in part due to their complaints of how disruptive the media attention would be to their lives.
Somewhere someone is crapping gold bricks.

I’m going to go out on a limb that “Latino Catholics” don’t think Epstein was god.
