Epstein's Shadow: Ghislaine Maxwell

Wake up and see this and share with family & friends for them to beware.

The doc definitely treated this despicable person with kid gloves, excusing her behavior because of such a "horrible upbringing" at the hands of her Israeli intelligence, media mogul, billionaire, fraudster father. Most of the things in this documentary I already knew but still worth a viewing for tidbits like footage of the Israeli funeral for her dad, he seemed to be very beloved over there. Of course NBC is the same organization that killed the weinstein story so let's keep that in mind.

Noticed that the Pea-cock network (which declined to report on Harvey Weinstein, mind) was careful to insert multiple mentions of Donnie J but none at all of Bill Clinton, who flew on Epstein's plane a couple dozen times and had Ghislaine at his daughter's wedding! Definitely some selective editing happening here.

"Epstein's Shadow" (3 eps, 1 hr, Peacock) is a short doc series on the incredibly infamous Ghislaine (the "s" is silent) Maxwell. This documentary is really only useful for those who haven't been following this sordid tale in the press and online. There are first hand victim/witnesses on the record so she will be nailed. Her trial is currently set to start in Nov 2021 but most think that'll never happen. She'll get a plea deal to spend time in a Martha Stewart styled prison for a few years and nothing but nothing will be further revealed of the Rich and Powerful predators involved because contrary to "laws apply to everyone", the Rich and Powerful are simply immune from prosecution, sad but true.

How did this documentary pass the checks and balances? They're interviewing a bloke who went on a date with her in Oxford decades ago, a former classmate (also decades ago) who clearly didn't like her then or now, and a tabloid journalist who briefly worked for her dad (you guessed it, decades ago). An apparent "former friend" referenced newspapers more than personal experience. I have watched a lot of documentaries, even scrappy amateur YouTube content put together by teenagers and undergraduates. None of it is as basic and lacking in substance than what I just watched. I wouldn't be surprised if Maxwell sued the producers.
