Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell plays model inmate as she seeks path out of prison

As Jeffrey Epstein s the greater part notorious accomplice and former girlfriend is angling to have her criminal conviction dropped a look at Ghislaine Maxwell s life behind bars could offer clues about her motivations outside of prison Maxwell has reportedly rebranded herself while serving out her two-decades-long sentence for her involvement in Epstein s sex crimes I did a double take because I recognized her face right away from the news Jessica Watkins a former Oath Keeper who was imprisoned in the same low-security Florida facility as Maxwell informed the Daily Mail I was like Is that who I think it is EPSTEIN ACCOMPLICE GHISLAINE MAXWELL COULD BE EYEING THREE OUTCOMES AS SHE MEETS WITH DOJ AGAIN EXPERTWatkins was initially sentenced to years in prison for her involvement in the attack on the U S Capitol on Jan Her sentence was commuted by President Donald Trump on his first day back in office earlier this year My friend who was with me was like I don't know - who is it Watkins announced I caught her up on the situation Started asking around and it was definitely her She and Maxwell would converse regularly often while the pair were exercising in the open-air prison yard with Maxwell only bringing up her scenario on occasion Watkins narrated the outlet TIMELINE OF JEFFREY EPSTEIN SITUATION We don t talk about cases as inmates because people will think you re a snitch Watkins explained It s an unspoken rule among inmates You don t ask However Watkins reportedly could only recall one time when Maxwell mentioned Epstein She did say that the DOJ had no interest in her until after her exact words were until after Jeffrey and then she paused for a second and announced died Watkins declared That was the only time he ever came up JEFFREY EPSTEIN AFFAIR REOPENS FOCUS ON GHISLAINE MAXWELL AS DEPUTY AG PROCEDURES INDuring the pair s time together in prison Watkins noticed Maxwell didn t seem unduly worried while behind bars adding She seemed very at ease very calm and approachable Her reportedly calm demeanor makes sense to former Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg who was elected into office six years after Epstein s development concluded The other inmates know who she is and why she s behind bars Aronberg communicated Fox News Digital I m sure a lot of the other inmates have their hands out They want the commissary money They want a free coaching from her whatever she can provide EPSTEIN S FORMER LAWYER GHISLAINE MAXWELL SHOULD GET IMMUNITY IN EXCHANGE FOR SECRETSWhile in prison Maxwell offers legal advice and classes to her fellow inmates often helping individuals access the necessary forms related to their matter and working in the law library according to Watkins She was very concerned about peoples clinical well-being Watkins stated So she did have that kind side to her She also reportedly focused her free time on reading books working on her own development or working out foregoing the prison s television privileges DOJ REJECTS GHISLAINE MAXWELL S APPEAL IN SCOTUS RESPONSEHowever her work behind bars could indicate an attempt to win over her fellow inmates favor while leveraging her educational background according to Aronberg She had status when she was not behind bars Aronberg explained She took that into the prison facility with her and she is using that Watkins also described how she and Maxwell discovered a friendship in their choice to not partake in drug use while locked up We avoided the bulk of the inmates because they were high all the time and we didn t want to be around that Watkins advised The Daily Mail Maxwell would gravitate towards people who were also sober Watkins' attorney did not instantly respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment JEFFREY EPSTEIN THROWN OUT OF MAR-A-LAGO FOR HIRING THE HELP TRUMPMaxwell s stated decision to not use recreational drugs while in prison could be a larger move to remain out of trouble while she makes a bid for freedom according to Aronberg An inmate s good behavior won t impact their ability to get a new trial Aronberg informed Fox News Digital But it does impact their ability to get clemency Aronberg pointed to Maxwell s two days of meetings with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche last week as President Donald Trump commented on his ability to hand the convicted criminal a pardon TRUMP DROPS EPSTEIN-LINKED NAMES THAT MEDIA OUGHT TO BE SPEAKING ABOUT AMID FILES FIRESTORM This is a convicted sex trafficker Aronberg reported This is someone who committed sexual assault on minors This is someone who is indicted for perjury And yet she got a private audience with the No person at the DOJ Had she been less of a model prisoner behind bars perhaps the administration wouldn't be rushing to meet with her and believe her in what she's saying Blanche spent nearly two days at a federal courthouse in Tallahassee interviewing Maxwell who answered questions about different people according to her attorney She never invoked a privilege David Oscar Markus explained reporters on Thursday She never refused to answer a question so we re very proud of her EPSTEIN ACCOMPLICE GHISLAINE MAXWELL HOPES FOR TRUMP PARDON AFTER DOJ MEETING ATTORNEY SAYSThe talks come as a House committee subpoenaed Maxwell to testify in a congressional deposition over her knowledge of the scope of Epstein s crimes while lawmakers continue to demand the DOJ hands over files related to the occurrence However Aronberg urges caution from federal prosecutors when taking Maxwell s words at face-value If you're a model prisoner behind bars then prosecutors are more likely to believe that you really are trying to do the right thing you're reformed and you are telling the truth this time around Aronberg announced But it's hard to ignore the fact that she is a liar On Monday Maxwell s legal association submitted a brief asking the U S Supreme Court to hear her appeal of her federal sex trafficking conviction citing the regime s obligation to honor an agreement struck by Epstein that should have shielded Maxwell from any criminal charges JEFFREY EPSTEIN ACCOMPLICE GHISLAINE MAXWELL TO SEE HOW FEDS MEETING PLAYS OUT AMID SUBPOENA BROTHERFederal prosecutors have argued the deal only applied in Florida ultimately ruling out Maxwell s scenario in New York No one is above the law not even the Southern District of New York Markus announced in a declaration Our regime made a deal and it must honor it The United States cannot promise immunity with one hand in Florida and prosecute with the other in New York Markus went on to appeal to Trump who has previously mentioned he has the power to pardon Maxwell but has not thought about doing so President Trump built his legacy in part on the power of a deal and surely he would agree that when the United States gives its word it must stand by it Markus noted We are appealing not only to the Supreme Court but to the President himself to recognize how profoundly unjust it is to scapegoat Ghislaine Maxwell for Epstein s crimes especially when the establishment promised she would not be prosecuted The DOJ did not straightaway respond to Fox News Digital s request for comment Maxwell is right now serving a -year sentence for her role in Epstein s scheme to sexually abuse numerous young girls She is anticipated to testify under oath on Aug at or near the federal prison she is at present serving her sentence in Jeffrey Epstein could not do what he did without Ghislaine Maxwell Aronberg noted She s no victim She is the devil s accomplice
