Lord Conrad Black And His Defense Of Prince Andrew · The Vault: The Epstein Files

0:00
Speaker 1: Onto today. We talked a little bit last night about
0:04
Glene Maxwell and the new filings that her legal team
0:09
have put before the court saying that Juror fifty violated
0:13
her right to a fair trial. Now, we didn't have
0:17
too much information last night about this, and we still
0:21
don't today, but I figured we'd add what we do
0:24
have at the top of the show before we dive
0:27
into another article dealing with Prince Andrew. So let's get
0:32
started here with the New York Post and let's see
0:35
what Ben Furehard and Kenneth Garger have to say about
0:39
Glenn Maxwell and her assertion that her rights to a
0:43
fair trial have been violated. Headline Glenn Maxwell's lawyers say
0:49
jurror violated her right to fair trial. Like I said
0:54
of this article was authored by Ben Furehard and Kenneth Garger.
1:00
Gallan Maxwell's legal team claimed Tuesday, the juror at the
1:04
center of their retrial request violated the convicted madam. The
1:07
convicted madam? Really, how about the human trafficker? Too difficult
1:11
to call her that the convicted madam? Was she convicted
1:14
for being a madam? No, she was convicted for being
1:17
a human trafficker? Right to a fair trial with his
1:20
jury questionnaire responses. Maxwell's lawyers also said the jur corrupted
1:26
the questioning process when the judge and attorneys sit down
1:30
and have their impartial conversation about the case. So during
1:34
the questionnaire period he lied, basically is what Glain Maxwell's
1:38
team is asserting. The claims were included in a Tuesday
1:42
letter from Maxwell's attorneys to Judge Alison Nathan arguing why
1:46
their motion for a new trial should remain sealed. And
1:49
this is the rub, right, why are you trying to
1:52
keep it remain sealed? Now? You'll have one group of
1:55
people will say, Oh, it's a big conspiracy, that's why
1:58
they want it sealed. And then you'll have another group
2:01
that says, oh, there's no conspiracies in this whole entire thing,
2:03
what are you crazy? And then there's the actual reality
2:06
of who the hell knows what these people are really
2:09
up to? Right, And the last thing I'm ever going
2:12
to try and do is put myself in the mind
2:14
of Gleann Maxwell's lawyers. No, thank you, But my guess
2:21
is that it's a little bit of everything. Right. When
2:24
you're dealing with these people, they're very secretive and Glan
2:27
Maxwell's lawyers especially, they have tried to keep things out
2:30
of the public eye for the whole entire duration of this,
2:34
going all the way back to the deposition, So nobody
2:37
should be shocked that they filed this under seal. Maxwell's
2:44
attorneys called for a new trial last month after the
2:49
juror revealed he had been sexually abused as a child
2:52
in a number of press interviews after the trial. Now
2:57
we knew that right when he gave those interviews, it
2:59
was going to be a big problem, right talking about
3:02
how you were sexually abused, and you didn't reveal that
3:05
during the questioning period. It's all bad and it definitely
3:10
gives Glene Maxwell and her team something to clamp down on.
3:13
Now again, I don't know if it's going to be successful.
3:16
I doubt it very highly that'll even be successful for
3:19
them to maybe even get a new case here, a
3:22
new trial. But in the long term, in the long run,
3:26
I have zero doubt that she will remain convicted or
3:30
perhaps even be convicted on more accounts if they decide
3:33
to go this route. We all know the federal government
3:36
is vindictive as hell, and if you think you're gonna
3:39
beat them in one of these cases, you better think again.
3:42
There's a reason that they're successful in about ninety eight
3:46
percent of their federal prosecutions. The juror, identified by his
3:53
first and middle names, Scottie David, said he couldn't recall
3:56
how he answered questions about how past sex abuse that
4:00
were posed to a potential panelist and a questionnaire before
4:04
the trial. David told Reuters that he flew through the questionnaire,
4:08
but he was sure he answered the question correctly. In
4:12
Tuesday's letter, Maxwell's attorney said her retrial motion should remain
4:16
under wraps until the court makes a ruling or after
4:19
a potential hearing on the request. The defense team argued
4:24
that unsealing the motion would give the jur an improper
4:27
preview of information he does not have and should never have,
4:30
or at the very least should not have at this
4:33
point in the process. So Maxwell's team is asserting that
4:38
the reason they want this under seal is to keep
4:41
Scottie David, jur Number fifty, from getting in possession of
4:45
the questionnaire before he should have it. So what they're
4:49
basically saying here is that this dude lied, lied, right,
4:52
and they're being pretty forceful about it. At this point.
4:57
Among the information the lawyers are trying to keep from
4:59
the are his exact questionnaire responses that may have not
5:04
been made public. The motion will provide a roadmap of
5:07
the defense examination of Juror fifty and will allow him
5:10
to plan out his and tailor his responses or even
5:14
potentiallysfoliate evidence to paint himself and his conduct in the
5:19
best light possible, the lawyers argued in the letter. Maxwell's
5:23
sixty was convicted in late December of sex trafficking and
5:26
other charges for luring and grooming underage girls for her
5:30
longtime companion, companion, co conspirator, general all around scusbag partner
5:36
in crime Jeffrey Epstein to abuse between nineteen ninety four
5:40
and two thousand and four. She faces up to sixty
5:43
five years in prison. So that's where we're at as
5:47
far as the Scottie David situation and the motions that
5:51
were filed by Maxwell's lawyers on Tuesday, Like I said,
5:55
not worthy of a full episode on its own at
5:58
this point, but I wanted to touch on it this
6:00
morning before we moved on to this other nonsense we're
6:04
going to talk about, which is Conrad Black Lord Conrad
6:08
Black coming out and defending his boy Andrew. Now it
6:14
should come as no shock that somebody like mister Black
6:18
has had his own issues. The man was pardoned by
6:21
good old Donald Trump for fraud, and now he's out
6:25
here running his lips, piping off about how Prince Andrew
6:29
is getting treated incorrectly and unfairly. Just another one of
6:34
the so called elite fellow travelers taken up for one
6:37
of their buddies. Huh. Well, guess what, Lord Black, We're
6:43
going to talk about it right here and right now
6:45
on the podcast. This all is from Newsweek and the
6:51
author is Jack Royston. Headline Prince Andrew should not be
6:57
stripped of titles, says media mobile pardoned by Trump boy
7:01
that Donald Trump. He sure keeps great company, doesn't he.
7:04
You know, I'm so sick of the whole bes. Oh,
7:06
Donald Trump was looking to smash human trafficking and yeah, right,
7:10
stop it. Please stop trying to offend people with your nonsense.
7:14
That's just as ridiculous as the people coming out and
7:18
defending Bill Clinton. I'm tired of it. I don't want
7:21
to hear it. Donald Trump wasn't this great crusader who
7:24
cares about you or the people. Donald Trump cared about
7:27
increasing his own influence, his own wealth, just like the
7:31
rest of them. No different than Biden or Clinton or
7:33
They're all the same. That's what I've been trying to
7:35
say to you folks forever. And I know that when
7:39
the political heat is turned up the way it is,
7:43
people retreat into their tribes and they don't want to
7:46
be told anything else, right, They want to be caught
7:49
up in the fervor. They want to hate the other side.
7:54
And you know, think that everything that their echo chamber
7:59
is telling them is correct, Well it's not. You have
8:02
to leave the echo chamber, okay, it's doing you no good.
8:06
In fact, it's harmful. And anyone who thinks that Donald
8:10
Trump is some great guy or didn't have any associations
8:14
with Jeffrey Epstein is crazy, point blank period. They had
8:20
a long term relationship, right. They obviously did have a
8:23
falling out, no doubt about that. But to act like
8:26
Donald Trump is a great guy who's never hung around
8:29
with scumbags is just way too much for me to stomach.
8:34
Donald Trump is part of the crew, part of the
8:37
big club that you and I will never be invited to.
8:41
So I don't understand why people sit here and you know,
8:44
defend him like he's this great hero of the story.
8:48
He is not just another gray character, folks, just another
8:52
one of these elected officials who come in and all
8:56
of a sudden, you know, everything's gonna change, Joel, I'm
9:00
gonna fix the whole country. And it's just more of
9:03
the same, surrounded by banker scumbags, surrounded by people in
9:06
the financial sector who don't care about me or you,
9:09
and the wheel just continues to spin. So one of
9:14
the greatest things for me, anyway, is my awakening to
9:19
all of that. When I started researching this case, I
9:22
wasn't really hip to it, right, you know, not to
9:25
the lengths that I see it now. And it's disturbing
9:29
and it's dangerous. We're at a point where we have
9:33
to figure it out. We need to start, you know,
9:36
reaching across the divide and talking to the people we dislike,
9:41
or we need to come up with a different solution
9:44
because what's happening now just doesn't work. And when you
9:47
have people like this idiot Lord Conrad Black, who gets
9:53
pardoned by Donald Trump or you know, gets protected by
9:59
big shots who were in positions of power, it just
10:03
proves the point that all of these dudes, they have
10:07
a different set of rules that they live by. I'm
10:09
pretty sure that if any of you have ever committed
10:11
a crime, or if you do commit a crime, Donald
10:13
Trump or Joe Biden or insert goofy ass politician here
10:18
isn't coming in to save the day and give you
10:20
a pardon. Do you know why? Because you didn't give
10:22
them enough money. That's why Prince Andrew has a rare
10:25
defender in the media, a former magnate who was pardoned
10:29
by Donald Trump after a fraud conviction. So that's pretty funny, huh.
10:34
A fraud coming out to defend a fraud. You know,
10:36
Pie's in a pod inaw Fellow travelers. People willing to
10:40
defend the Duke of York may be few and far between,
10:44
but one prominent figure has spoken out on his behalf,
10:48
Conrad Black. What's with the people with the last name Black?
10:51
In this case, dudes probably related to Leon Black somewhere
10:54
down the line, and they both probably have the same
10:56
mental impairments. The Canadian born British businessman's company, Hollinger in
11:02
the nineties was said to be the third largest in
11:05
the world and controlled that both the Chicago, the Chicago
11:08
Sun Times, and Britain's Daily Telegraph, among others. So basically,
11:14
Conrad Black was a news mogul in the nineties when
11:19
the legacy media all worked together to get rid of
11:23
Gary Webb. So that's another black mark for mister Black.
11:27
All of these moguls who run media companies and these
11:30
gigantic media empires, I questioned them right away. I don't
11:36
think that any of them are decent human beings. Honestly,
11:40
have you seen the way they pump this rage porn
11:42
into the news on a regular basis to try and
11:45
get people all fired up over artificial wedge issues. These
11:50
are the people we're dealing with, Guys like this Conrad Black,
11:53
Guys like Robert Maxwell, guys like Rupert Murdoch. And then
11:58
you look over at CNN you got old numb Nuts
12:01
now has to step down from his position because he
12:03
was having an improper affair with one of his underlings.
12:08
So the legacy media is an absolute joke. It's a
12:11
dumpster fire. And you know when you got guys like
12:16
this guy, Lord Conrad Black, and the others we just
12:18
talked about at the Control Switch, do you really think
12:22
people like Jeffrey Epstein are ever going to be outed
12:24
by our legacy media. In a comment piece for The
12:28
New York Sun, Black wrote, the abandonment of Prince Andrew,
12:32
the Duke of York to the frenzied assault upon Jeffrey
12:36
Epstein in which all the many Canadian and other institutions
12:40
and organizations that benefited from the Duke's patronage patronage have
12:44
participated is a disgrace. Oh, it's a disgrace. Huh. You
12:48
know what's a disgrace, Conrad. The disgrace is you sticking
12:51
up for this guy. The disgrace is that your boy
12:54
Donald Trump bailed you out and you got off on
12:57
that charge. That's the disgrace. Defending Prince Andrew, Really, man
13:05
oh man, for the Queen to have withdrawn from him
13:09
all of his dignities exercised for centuries by the second
13:13
son of the reigning monarch is not remotely justified by
13:17
the almost irrelevant and inevitable fact that the Duke has
13:21
been sued by a former companion of Epstein's and an
13:24
American judge has declined to dismiss the charge in pre
13:27
trial proceedings. Hey, mister Black, here's an idea. You got
13:30
so many high opinions of America, keep your bitch ass
13:33
in Canada. Nobody wants you in America anyway. Maybe you
13:36
and Peter Nygard can go and have a little fun
13:40
over there in bamp Okay, nobody wants you in America,
13:43
so stay in Canada, he said. Britain is a country
13:48
that does respect the presumption of innocence of accused persons.
13:53
And it is shocking that so distinguished a monarch as
13:55
Queen Elizabeth the Second would submit to the hair brained
13:59
and unworldly vice of those who counseled her not to
14:02
only attach a completely undeserved degree of credence to these
14:06
so far unfounded allegations, but to put her own son
14:10
over the side, prejudged and apparently abandoned by his family.
14:14
Well how about this, mister Black, Why don't you go
14:16
move into the royal quarters with Prince Andrew and you
14:20
can rub his royal back for him, and you guys
14:23
can have some warm milk and talk about how Prince
14:26
Andrew has been wronged. What a joke, Conrad Black, Lord
14:31
Conrad Black. In the old days, if this idiot would
14:34
pipe off like this about the Queen he'd get his
14:37
head cut off. So who's he even talking about? What's
14:41
he even talking about? All of a sudden, Prince Andrew
14:44
should be protected by the royal family. It comes a
14:48
month after Queen Elizabeth stripped Prince Andrew of his honorary
14:53
military titles and royal patronages. Black went on the attack.
14:57
Went on to attack the American legal system before suggesting
15:00
lawyers may have been drawn to the case by Epstein's
15:03
famous friends, name checking Bill Clinton, but not Donald Trump,
15:08
of course not. You can always tell who's playing politics
15:10
with this, right. For instance, if you're out there and
15:13
you get mad when I have something to say about
15:16
Bill Clinton, you're probably part of the problem. On the
15:19
flip side of that, if you get mad when we
15:21
talk about Donald Trump's involvement with Jeffrey Epstein, you might
15:25
be part of the problem. See here's the thing, folks,
15:28
Both sides of the aisle were involved, both sides of
15:32
the political donkey ass involved. And all of these people,
15:37
these so called heroes and politicians who love us all,
15:40
they're all scum. Look at the insider trading they're involved,
15:44
and look at all of it, and then you add
15:46
this to it, and for me. This is where the
15:49
rubber meets the road. If you will, I'm willing to
15:52
overlook all of their grifting. They're stealing all of the
15:55
nonsense we're used to that I am not willing to
15:57
overlook this. And Leon Black, Conrad Black, the rest of
16:03
these people are such complete and utter disgraces that I
16:08
could I don't care what political party you're in. Anybody
16:13
who was involved with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghlaine Maxwell and
16:18
hanging out with them and benefiting from them should be
16:20
called out and onto the carpet. I don't care who
16:23
you are. The Republican former president was named by an
16:28
accuser in Gallane Maxwell's trial, who said she'd met him
16:32
at age fourteen, though she did not allege misconduct by him.
16:35
And that's true. Donald Trump as well as Bill Clinton.
16:39
Nobody here is saying that they were involved in the
16:41
abuse of these girls, specifically with Epstein. I have not
16:44
seen that evidence yet. What I will say, though, like
16:47
I've always said, is these clowns enabled them. When you
16:50
have powerful friends like this, boy, oh boy, it sure
16:54
makes your intimidation moves a lot easier. It sure makes
16:58
everything you're up to a lot easily here, Black wrote,
17:02
the Epstein case, which is full of sex, money, and
17:05
prominent people such as the Duke of York and former
17:08
US President Bill Clinton, is precisely the sort of litigation
17:12
that attracts little worst type of American litigator, civil and criminal,
17:16
the absolute dregs of American legal careerism. So basically, what
17:20
he's saying, and this is just obscene, is that these
17:25
charges don't even merit more looking into and everything here
17:29
is politically motivated. That's what he's trying to say, and
17:32
it's disgusting and it's gross. Glenn Maxwell was involved with
17:38
Jeffrey Epstein, and she was helping him abuse children and
17:41
young women. That's what she's convicted of. Lord Black, Okay,
17:47
he said, I accept that Jeffrey Epstein and Glenn Maxwell,
17:50
both of whom I knew in innocuous contexts, may have
17:55
recruited underage women for sexual purposes, and that is a
17:58
serious offense. But none of this has the slightest connection
18:01
to the Duke of York. Oh no, none at all.
18:04
The fact that the picture with Virginia while she was
18:06
being traffick means nothing. The fact that Steve Scully says
18:09
he saw her topless with Prince Andrew on the island
18:11
means nothing. Here's an idea, Lord Black, sit down, have
18:17
some spotted dick and shut your yeap. Clinton, Trump and
18:22
Prince Andrew say they did not know about or take
18:25
part in Epstein's crimes. The Prince is preparing to contest
18:29
his sexual abuse lawsuit, and his team are seeking testimony
18:32
from his accuser, of Virginia, Robert's husband and therapist. Her
18:36
attorneys wan testimony from his former former equerry, Robert Olney
18:41
and Shukri Walker, a witness who says she saw the
18:44
Prince with a young woman at Tramp nightclub in London.
18:48
Roberts says she was taken to Tramp by Epstein and
18:50
Maxwell in two thousand and one and dance with the
18:53
Duke before the four of them returned to Maxwell's London townhouse,
18:57
where Roberts was made to have sex with Andrew. The Prince,
19:00
who demanded a jury trial, says the allegations are false
19:03
and he has no recollection of meeting her. Demanded a
19:06
jury trial. What other kind of trials are there? I mean,
19:09
I guess trial by combat, but we know bitch ass
19:12
isn't willing to do that. And I wonder if he was,
19:16
say this was like a medieval type deal, think Lord
19:19
Conrad Black would be stepping up to be the champion
19:22
for Prince Andrew here. Somehow, I doubt it a lot
19:26
easier to do when all you have to do is
19:28
pipe off and there's no repercussions. Right, So, Prince Andrew
19:32
and his one supporter here, Lord Black, well, I don't
19:37
think it's gonna work out the way they want it
19:38
to work out. And it's funny that you have a
19:42
guy who was convicted of fraud out here pushing this
19:45
kind of fraudulent BS to protect another fraud Prince Andrew. Well, folks,
19:51
that's where we're going to leave it for today, and
19:53
I'll let you stew on that for a little while. Obviously,
19:56
I'll be back later on tonight with the evening update
19:58
