When Do We Stop Defending the Indefensible? – Malka Leifer and Adass, when Will Adass be Accountable?

Government-funded chaplaincy organisation will offer services to Malka Leifer

A Jewish charity will offer chaplaincy services to alleged paedophile Malka Leifer when she returns to Australia, a decision that has angered some members of the religious community.

The Age has confirmed Ms Leifer will be offered support from the charity Jewish Prison Chaplaincy Victoria, a group contracted by Corrections Victoria to assist every Jewish person in the state’s system and support prisoners “to observe and grow while in prison”.

Corrections Victoria appointed the chaplain, independent of the organisation.

The charity’s role is controversial because it is led by Benjamin Koppel, the president of the Adass Israel Congregation, part of a small ultra-orthodox group of about 150 families based in Elsternwick and Ripponlea where Ms Leifer worked.

Mr Koppel was president of the Adass Israel Congregation when Ms Leifer left Australia in 2008, 24 hours after she was accused of sexually molesting some of the students and sacked by the board.

He [Mr. Koppel] was questioned in the Supreme Court in 2015 about the decision to hire Ms Leifer amid allegations she travelled to Israel with the assistance of the Adass board. However, there is no evidence or allegations to suggest Mr Koppel helped Ms Leifer, or knew about plans to help her leave for Israel.

Here’s Every Time Donald Trump And Ghislaine Maxwell Have Been Photographed Together

Topline: During a Tuesday coronavirus briefing, President Trump offered well-wishes to Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime confidante who now faces multiple federal charges related to Epstein’s alleged sex ring. In the 1990s and early 2000s, all three traveled in the same social circles, and Maxwell was photographed with the future commander-in-chief multiple times. Here’s every photo of them we could find:

Elsewhere:

A photo of Trump and Maxwell at a “hookers and pimps” themed party was published by the Daily Mail in December 2019. Maxwell sports a blonde wig and a leopard-print trench coat, while Trump wears the same business suit he’s typically seen in.

Another image of Maxwell wearing a green outfit and posing with Trump and an unnamed third woman has been posted multiple times to social media, but it’s unclear when the photo was taken, or where.

Crucial quote

“I’ve met her numerous times over the years, especially since I lived in Palm Beach,” Trump told reporters Tuesday. “I just wish her well, frankly.”

Big number:

At least 15 years. In July 2019, and after Epstein was arrested on federal sex trafficking charges, Trump said he hadn’t spoken to the disgraced financier—who he once called “a terrific guy”—for 15 years. “We had a falling out,” Trump told reporters, adding he “was not a fan.”

Both Epstein and Maxwell have been seen in photos with Trump, as well as with other prominent figures such as Bill and Hillary Clinton.

“I just wish her well, frankly,” Trump said Tuesday when asked about the case at a press conference.

Trump said that he met Maxwell “numerous times over the years, especially since I lived in Palm Beach, and I guess they lived in Palm Beach.”

“But I wish her well, whatever it is,” he added.

 

 

Prosecutors allege Maxwell helped persuade and transport minors to engage in sexual acts with Epstein and others in the mid-1990s, and at times participated in the abuse herself. Her trial is scheduled to begin in July 2021.

Deutsche Bank, Jeffrey Epstein, Robert Maxwell, Kroll Associates and Den Hollander – a Different Narrative

JEFFREY EPSTEIN, KROLL ASSOCIATES, DEUTSCHE BANK AND THE ATTACK ON A NEW JERSEY JUDGE

[Edited for corrections – a previous version said that Epstein died at Rikers Island. he died in Metropolitan Correctional Center, New York and mistook UPS for FedEx – thanks for the corrections]

The article that follows, a single excerpt of which has been provided, is a detailed explanation of events related to the attack on a Judge’s family in New Jersey and its connection to  Epstein written by Whitney Webb. We believe Ms. Webb’s account to be a closer telling of the truth than anything you will find in mainstream media. Her entire site is worth a click or two.

In our opinion, it is all too coincidental to believe that attorney Roy Den Hollander dressed up in a FedEx uniform, drove from upstate, New York to New Jersey, shot and tragically killed a Judge’s son and injured her husband, targeting her because of his “anti-feminist” beliefs. He would have had to have been wholly irrational in that regard and Den Hollander’s professional career is inconsistent with that story.

That narrative just doesn’t make any sense. Den Hollander has a little known place in historical context as it applies to Jeffrey Epstein. The recent assignment to Judge Salas of a class action lawsuit brought by Deutsche Bank Investors “who allege that Deutsche Bank “failed to properly monitor customers that the Bank itself deemed to be high risk, including, among others, the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein” seem like a more likely motive for the shooting. Deutsche Bank has a long and storied history with Jeffrey Epstein (and Den Hollander). For countless wealthy, politically connected, storied and/or notorious people, there is likely good reason to try at all costs to have this information remain hidden.

We suspect that Den Hollander (who was allegedly suffering from terminal cancer) did not expect to end up dead after the events at the Judge’s home. We do not believe he shot himself. 

Similarly, as stated here before, we do not believe that Jeffrey Epstein hanged himself in a jail in New York City. The story is far too outrageous, there were too many mishaps, Metropolitan Correctional Center is too well organized to have been so chaotic that night and he was on suicide watch. Moreover, to date any reference to negligence in the jail has been relegated to crickets. Suicide as an explanation to the death of two men, (who knew each other and are otherwise connection to the entire Epstein Saga) Den Hollander and Epstein is far too convenient.

Den Hollander once worked for security firm Kroll Associates’ Moscow Office where he “managed and upgraded Kroll’s delivery of intelligence and security in the former Soviet Union” from 1999 to 2000.” Kroll Associates had at one point became known as the “CIA of Wall Street” and Jules Kroll had worked for Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine Maxwell’s father.  

According to a 1992 article in Vanity Fair, “Maxwell had ushered Kroll and two other men out onto the patio so that their conversation could not be overheard or bugged,” with Maxwell allegedly seeking to hire Kroll to uncover “people out to get him, to destroy his empire, to cripple him financially, and to destroy his life and business in any way they could.” 

He also had connections to Deutsche Bank. Ms. Webb has put together a theory and one to which we ascribe. Jeffrey Epstein’s highly organized and influential network are dying or are being murdered because there are countless parties who do not want this story told.

Could Secret Spouse Be Part of Ghislaine Maxwell’s Legal Strategy? – One Theory

Is Ghislaine Maxwell’s Secret Spouse Part of Her Legal Strategy?

Could Jeffrey Epstein’s accused accomplice use her secret spouse to hide money or bargain with prosecutors?

In a video hearing on Tuesday, prosecutor Alison Moe told Manhattan federal judge Alison Nathan that accused Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell has a spouse “whose identity she declined to provide to Pretrial Services.”

Wait, she’s married? And won’t tell anybody to whom?

Town & Country reached out to a former prosecutor, James Zirin—a former assistant United States attorney, author, and television host—and a family law expert, Frederic J. Siegel— partner at the Connecticut-based family law firm Siegel & Kaufman—to see if this might all be part of a legal strategy.

What reasons could Ghislaine Maxwell have for not revealing the identity of her spouse?

Zirin: The most obvious and benign is that she’s trying to shield the spouse from press inquiry and notoriety. Other reasons, however, could include that he may have knowledge of where her assets are and of crimes that she may have committed.

Can prosecutors force them to talk?
