Prison Staffers Stole Maxwell’s Attorney-Client Emails, Funneling Them to Raskin
Quote:Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorney Leah Saffian has confirmed that multiple federal prison staffers have been FIRED for illegally breaking into Maxwell’s privileged attorney-client emails, emails that were then funneled straight to Democrat Congressman Jamie Raskin, who blasted them to the media like political propaganda.
Raskin, Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee, apparently believes his lofty position as a former law professor grants him the license to trample on the Bill of Rights.
By leaking Maxwell’s privileged correspondence to the media, he’s not just undermining the legal process, he’s trampling her constitutional rights, including the First Amendment’s protection of confidential communications, the Sixth Amendment’s guarantee of effective counsel, and the Fourteenth Amendment’s promise of due process that applies to every American, inmate or not.
According to Saffian:
Prison employees at FPC Bryan broke into Maxwell’s email system
They stole confidential attorney communications
They passed them to a federal official—Raskin
Raskin then leaked them to the press under the fake label of ‘whistleblower’
According to the press release:
“The release to the media by Congressman Raskin (Dem., Maryland), of Ms. Maxwell’s privileged client-attorney email correspondence with me is as improper as it is a denial of justice.
Congressman Raskin is a Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee, an attorney and law professor. He must be aware that his conduct undermines the whole legal process. His action should be a matter for professional disciplinary action.
There have been appropriate consequences already for employees at Federal Prison Camp Bryan. They have been terminated for improper, unauthorized access to the email system used by the Federal Bureau of Prisons 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.
Dressing the improper action up as ‘Whistleblower Information’ does not mitigate the fact that the mails were both illegally obtained and put to unconstitutional purpose. It is clear that no effort to fact check the credibility or veracity of the so called “whistleblower” was made by the Representative or his offices. For Rep. Raskin to seek to make political capital from such publication and from the content of personal emails between Ms. Maxwell and a family member is both shocking and reprehensible.”
Maxwell’s attorney directly called out Raskin for falsely implying Maxwell was angling for a pardon.
That was a lie.
Saffian said Maxwell has never sought a pardon. She has not asked Trump or anyone else to intervene. Her petition is about exposing misconduct, not seeking clemency.
According to ABC News:
Rep. Jamie Raskin sent a sharply worded six-page letter to President Donald Trump on Sunday following new information his committee received from a whistleblower alleging that Ghislaine Maxwell is preparing a “commutation application” for the Trump administration and receiving preferential treatment while incarcerated.
Raskin, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, accused the Trump administration of allowing “a corrupt misuse of law-enforcement resources” and demanded that Deputy U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche testify before the Judiciary Committee immediately to “answer for this corrupt misuse of law enforcement resources and potential exchange of favors for false testimony exonerating you and other Epstein accomplices.”
White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said in a statement about Raskin’s letter: “The White House does not comment on potential clemency requests. As President Trump has stated, pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell is not something he has thought about.”
Saffian added that Maxwell is preparing a habeas corpus petition with the Federal District Court (SDNY).
“Ms. Maxwell will shortly be filing a Habeas petition with the Federal District Court (SDNY). Habeas petitions are distinct from petitions to the Supreme Court, in that they relate to prisoners’ rights and conviction challenges.
Contrary to Rep. Raskin’s assertion, Ms. Maxwell has not requested a commutation – or made a Pardon – application to the second Trump Administration. Prior to any such application a Prisoner needs to demonstrate that all possible avenues of appeal have been exhausted.
In Ms. Maxwell’s case, her Habeas petition provides the court with material evidence not available at her trial in November–December 2021. In the four years since the verdict new evidence has indeed come to light – and is continuing to do so. The Habeas petition demonstrates that had this evidence been available it would have had a material impact on the trial’s outcome.
It also demonstrates unequivocally that significant government – and juror – misconduct occurred pre-, during and post- trial, making the verdict at the very least unsafe. It shows that Ms. Maxwell has every right to expect rapid and meaningful relief from the court, thus potentially obviating the need for any further action relating to her imprisonment.”

In a real state (ie not progressive blue), he would lose his law license.

Didn’t do it for free.
What’s the criminal activity of paying someone to break the law?

At least the way the OP is framed, the criminal behavior here was committed by the prison officials who spied on attorney /client communications and shared those communications with a 3rd party. Can you imagine if those emails had been shared with Trump? People like Raskin would go nuclear.
But still, Raskin is an absolute scumbag and I certainly hope he gets what’s coming to him someday. And — pending further investigation — he may, indeed, have done something illegal in this instance, too.

Quote:Raskin responds: “This is very strange to me, that there are employees who've been fired because of what they've done. I'm curious how they would know that."
“We're not saying where we got any information that we received. And it may not even be from the people that she's talking about."
Ok, Jamie.
