Ghislaine Maxwell case details too ‘sensational and impure’ for public, judge says

A federal judge on Thursday agreed with Ghislaine Maxwell’s request to keep certain details in the criminal case against her secret — finding that information would be too “sensational and impure” to reveal to the public.

US District Judge Alison J. Nathan issued a ruling on redactions that Maxwell had asked for regarding transcripts the government filed under seal last month.

“Those portions of the transcript, which were redacted in the civil matter, concern privacy interests and their disclosure would merely serve to cater to a ‘craving for that which is sensational and impure,’” Nathan wrote in the order.

The judge also granted redactions that prosecutors made when filing the transcript. Prosecutors had argued the redactions were necessary to “protect the integrity” of the investigation into Maxwell and to protect the privacy of third parties.

“The interest in protecting the safety and privacy of those individuals outweighs the presumption of access that attaches to those documents,” Nathan wrote.

Nathan also rejected some objections Maxwell had to the prosecutor’s proposed redactions.

“Though the Defendant contends that some of the information contained in the redactions is public, she furnishes no evidence to that effect,” the decision states.

I expect she will have a massive stroke that incapacitates any further trial.

Polonium poisoning would be way to obvious while suicide would be redundant.

Who do they think they’re kidding?

HBO peddles “sensational and impure” garbage to American consumers every single day.

Must be the judge is named in the documents. Can’t reveal that. it would harm public trust in the institution.

since the judge was Obola’s attorney,
one wonders if the on-boat child rape photograph,
showing Obola and Hollywood zippering up,
with the little doe-eyed girl, is also in the mix.

AKA... prominent demonrats are involved up to their eyeballs in perversion/corruption.

Pay no attention to that man(women/it)behind the curtain!

...unless he's a non-liberal white-male (AKA white-supremacists), then pull bunnies out yer azz to "create the hate"/stick to "the narrative".
