The New York Post revealed yesterday that the attorney for Ghislaine Maxwell called out Rep. Jamie Raskin for leaking Maxwell’s private, stolen and protected prison emails in order to hurt President Trump, and in doing so violated “First, Sixth and Fourteenth amendments afforded to all prisoners.”
She said these emails were protected by attorney-client privilege and is recommending Raskin be disciplined for this.
Here’s what they wrote:
Workers at the Texas federal prison camp housing Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell have been fired for leaking emails in which she described the cushy conditions — and the Democratic lawmaker who purportedly made them public should be punished too, her attorney said in a fiery statement Friday.
Leah Saffian rebuked House Judiciary Committee ranking member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) over the publication of messages in which Maxwell raved about her treatment at Federal Prison Camp Bryan — even praising warden Tanisha Hall for helping her send and receive documents needed for her unsuccessful appeal to the Supreme Court.
“The congressman is a ranking member of the House Oversight [actually Judiciary] Committee, an attorney and law professor. He must be aware that his conduct undermines the whole legal process,” Saffian said. “His action should be a matter for professional disciplinary action.”
“There have been appropriate consequences already for employees at Federal Prison Camp Bryan,” Saffian went on. “They have been terminated for improper, unauthorized access to the email system used by the Federal Bureau of Prisons [BOP] to allow inmates to communicate with the outside world.
“The provision of those emails to a federal official who then caused them to be shared with the media is a breach of constitutional protections including the First, Sixth and Fourteenth amendments afforded to all prisoners.”
The emails from Maxwell, 63, were published by NBC News Nov. 8.
The following Monday, Raskin fired off a letter to President Trump claiming that a whistleblower had told him Maxwell was “preparing a ‘Commutation Application’ for your Administration to review, undoubtedly coming to you for your direct consideration.”
In Friday’s statement, Saffian claimed that Maxwell, serving a 20-year sentence after her December 2021 conviction for federal charges of grooming and sexually abusing young women, “has not requested a commutation — or a made a pardon — application to the second Trump administration.”
Instead, she claimed, Maxwell would soon file a petition in Manhattan federal court challenging her detention based on “new evidence” that would purportedly “have had a material impact” on the outcome of her criminal trial.
The leaked emails are “just the latest example of Ms. Maxwell’s constitutional and human rights being ridden roughshod over,” stated Saffian, noting that the Justice Department’s own internal watchdog described the Tallahassee prison as “filled with black mold, with inmate contaminated with rodent droppings and infested with insects.”
A spokeswoman for House Judiciary Committee Democrats insisted to The Post that the fired workers were “whistleblowers” who wanted to expose Maxwell’s “preferential treatment.”
“Any effort by BOP to intimidate, silence, or retaliate against anyone, including inmates and staff with information on Ms. Maxwell’s outrageous preferential treatment, is unacceptable,” she said, adding that “there was no sharing of privileged information” with the media.
“Judiciary Democrats will continue to demand answers and expose the truth as we get to the bottom of the effort to cover up this Administration’s obscene coddling of a convicted sexual trafficker and abuser.”
It wouldn’t shock me if Raskin was in on this from the beginning. They simply don’t care who they hurt along the way, as long as they hurt President Trump. That’s all Democrats think about, despite claiming to care about the constitutional rights of people everywhere.
