Jury in alleged mucky madam Ghislaine Maxwell trial asked to consider deliberating until 6pm – one hour later than usual; probably because Judge Alison J. Nathan is ready to get on with her next chapter in her life courtesy of President Joe Biden
The patience of Judge Alison J. Nathan – a woman clearly desperate to get on with her next stage in life after being promoted to a higher court by President Joe Biden – has clearly yet again been tested as she awaits a verdict from the jury in the Ghislaine Maxwell trial in New York.
Clearly and most apparently sick of them asking questions focused on details such as the definition of the word “enticement” – which she summed up to mean “to attract, induce or lure using hope or desire” – Judge Nathan pointedly added of her 6pm suggestion: “I don’t mean to pressure you in any way. You should take all the time that you need.” Hammer down, “Next!”
The case against Ghislaine Maxwell
The late ‘Cap’n Bob’s’ deviant daughter Ghislaine Maxwell is on trial before Judge Alison J. Nathan on counts of:
Conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts.
Enticement of a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts.
Conspiracy to transport minors with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity.
Transporting a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity.
Sex trafficking conspiracy.
Sex trafficking of a minor.
Lying under oath (to be heard separately at a later date).
Ghislaine Maxwell failed to get her 81-year-old former neighbour in Kinnerton Street, Belgravia, the publican Kevin Moran, into court to testify for her as he could not turn up in New York in suitable time to appear Judge Nathan. Out of her 35 proposed witnesses, only 9 actually gave evidence in support of the wicked wastrel wench.60-year-old since Christmas Day Ghislaine Maxwell has managed to get her brothers and sisters including Kevin, Ian and Isabel (pictured right) to turn up to support her at her trial in New York. Her husband since 2016, Scott Borgerson (left) – a man unknown to her very own siblings until her arrest at her ritzy pad in New Hampshire, Tuckedaway, in July 2020 – has failed to even bother to put in appearance and has allegedly busied himself living-it-up with a “yoga enthusiast” who reportedly “has an ass that could crack open a walnut” named Kris McGinn. So much for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, it seems; so much for standing by your woman, Scott.Already clearly fearing for the worst possible outcome (i.e. the conviction of their decidedly deviant alleged mucky madam sibling, Ghislaine), the Maxwell family have been spinning out stories claiming that there will be immediate appeal if there is a conviction coming their way. In May this year, using their @RealGhislaine Twitter account, the family had a pop at those making allegations against the perverted pest Kevin Spacey – who unsurprisingly was a close mate of Jeffrey Epstein and his one-time lover – and remarked: “Kevin Spacey has suffered… repetitional [sic] damage from CD’s allegations. Info & allegations that are highly sensitive & of a personal nature can flow both ways… It would be harder to mitigate against that stigma if CD were permitted to remain anonymous.” No doubt, said daughter of the murderer-robber baron Robert Maxwell would like all of her four accusers named (and shamed) now also.
As “monster mover” Ghislaine Maxwell claims to be too frail to testify at her trial and gets a rejection over having her witnesses testify under pseudonyms, the judge in the case pops off to Washington to plan her own future after a nomination from President Biden; a true power play is now underway
On Wednesday, Judge Alison J. Nathan “paused from the trial [of Ghislaine Maxwell] for a trip to Washington, where she faced questions of a different sort” according to Benjamin Weiser of The New York Times.
Now nominated to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit by President Biden, Judge Nathan “was grilled at her confirmation hearing by members of the Senate Judiciary Committee. The questions came mostly from Republicans, who asked about her views on guns rights, capital punishment, compassionate release requests by felons during the pandemic, as well as her past writings and legal advocacy.”
Echoing her earlier approach of keeping alleged mucky madam Maxwell’s ‘little black book’ to remain secret to “avoid ‘needless’ namedropping,” Judge Nathan, when asked by Senator Mike Lee, a Republican of Utah: “Should illegal immigrants be allowed to cast votes in state and local elections?” answered: “That’s a policy question that would be inappropriate for me, as a sitting court judge or a nominee to the Second Circuit, to weigh in on.”
Clearly a lady on a mission to progress her career after ‘The Trial Of The Decade’ ends, the judge was then asked: “Do you think America is mostly good or mostly bad?” by Senator John Kennedy, Republican of Louisiana.
The New York Times reported on her clearly strategically motivated answer:
“She answered by describing a walk she took on Tuesday with her sons to the Supreme Court, where she once had been a law clerk, and of seeing the inscription engraved above the entrance, ‘Equal Justice Under Law… I’m proud to be a part of this American judicial system,’ Judge Nathan said.”
“Yes, ma’am,” Mr. Kennedy said. “But do you think America is mostly good or mostly bad?’ ’America is mostly good, Senator,’ she replied.”
Returning to her New York courtroom on Thursday, Judge Nathan rejected Miss Maxwell’s attempts to have some government defence witnesses testify under pseudonyms or partial names. In doing so, she quite rightly drew a clear distinction between the need to protect the identities of alleged crime victims and the privacy concerns of ‘The Bouncing Czech’s’ deviant daughter’s friends and cronies.
Though many are questioning many of the strange things going on at this trial, one can now only hope that the concept that nobody – however powerful they may or may not be – should be allowed to be above the law… And that must include Ghislaine Maxwell and those supporting her.

A power play between a powerful woman of the past and a powerful woman of the future – Ghislaine Maxwell and Judge Alison J. Nathan are two well connected individuals who’ve been brought together in the oddest and most seedy of circumstances. Whether the former will actually take to the stand during her trial remains to be seen, but such a course of action appears more and more unlikely.

A seriously sick set of power players – Alleged victim of sexual abuse by her own father turned alleged sex trafficker and sexual abuser of other women Ghislaine Maxwell flashing her cleavage at the since croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and the since incarcerated fellow alleged sexual abuser Jean-Luc Brunel.Though Ghislaine Maxwell will be “unlikely” to testify at her own trial – and remarked in November: “I am weak, I am frail. I have no stamina. I am tired. I don’t even have shoes which fit properly. They feed me rotten food. One apple had maggots in it. I have not been allowed to exercise. In my most recent court appearance, I was in leg irons for more than 12 hours and had to climb up and down stairs with my arms and legs shackled to my waist. My ankles are raw. I was given a pat-down so aggressive and violent, my underwear found itself in a place it doesn’t belong. The first underwear they gave me were enormous granny pants. You could have put five of me in them. I’ll spare you descriptions of the stains” – she clearly has contradicted herself with her somewhat bizarre “screen-siren-like” antics in the courtroom whilst clad in expensive cashmere and the statement: “I play peek-a-boo, hiding behind pillars and the guards join in. There are always smiles all round. Then I have a ‘monster move’ where I raise my hands and growl and they do it back. We laugh.” Here is a woman with exactly the same deviant streak as her pension pot plundering, murderer father, Robert.
