She was called to the Bar of England and Wales in 1991 at Gray’s Inn. While in London she worked as a California lawyer, a Barrister in employment at Peters and Peters Solicitors and then was a Barrister/Tenant in chambers.

During this time, she prosecuted and defended complex fraud trials and defended in extradition cases. She presently practices in California dividing her time between San Diego and Los Angeles representing dual nationals in the US; US companies establishing foreign trade and offices; and advising/appearing as an expert in US/UK legal issues.

***

Did Leah Saffian take the photos of Ghislaine Maxwell?

If she did, when were they taken? Was there photoshopping done to the images?


Was the movie poster Good Boys photoshopped in to mislead on the date, as the Daily Mail reported? [Good Boys came out recently which would help date the pictures as being taken recently. The ad agency that sells that space said there was no Good Boys advertisement there.]

Who else was involved in the misdirection, if there was misdirection?

And as for Ghislaine Maxwell – is she alive and, if she is, where is she now?

    And why would Leah Saffian, British Barrister, be taking pictures of her friend Ghislane PIMP Maxwell?

    Because the US DOJ through both AG Bill Barr and SDNY US Attorney Berman, has made it loud and clear that it intends to prosecute PIMP Maxwell and all of Epstein's Assistant PIMPS.

    And Ghislane PIMP Maxwell, with the help of Barrister Saffian, puts out the bogus narrative that Epstein and her were merely working on behalf of the Intelligence Community, the CIA and the Mossad, in pimping out little girls to politicians for blackmail.

    Epstein and PIMP Maxwell were not perverts or sex traffickers but heroes working to save America, Britain and Israel from the bad guys through sex trafficking.

    And if you believe that I have a nice Bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

    Here is what G. Maxwell wrote in her book review of the book she was reading:

    G. Maxwell

    5.0 out of 5 starsA comforting read after a personal tragedy

    August 15, 2019

    Format: Kindle Edition

    A good friend of mine died recently under very tragic circumstances. Some of us saw it coming for quite a while but it was still a huge shock when it finally happened. I picked up this book at the advice of a friend and absolutely couldn't put it down. I'd read it walking the dog, getting fast food, or even just lounging around the house. It helped me realized that my friend really believed in something, and that giving your life for the CIA, NSA, FBI, Mossad, or other intelligence agency is truly a higher calling and not something to mourn. A wholehearted recommendation.

    What a load of BS!

    And what newspaper were the staged photographs printed in?

    THE NEW YORK POST.

    And who owns the New York Post?

    Lastest breaking news!!!!!!!

    “The sister of Jeffrey Epstein’s gal pal Ghislaine Maxwell was spotted packing up bags near the Massachusetts mansion where the socialite had been rumored to be staying.”

    The Post

    ******

    Frank,

    What game is Ghislaine or other individuals playing?(Rhetorical question).

    Why the drama?

    Why the misdirection?

    They are not fooling you or law enforcement.

    If attorney Saffian did send the photoshoped images to obfuscate Ghislaine Maxwell's where abouts….

    ……Attorney Saffian could possibly be charged as an accessory after-the-fact or she could be issued a subpoena and have her good name dragged through the mud.

    Therefore, as I am sure you have all ready concluded, Attorney Saffian did not take the photos.

    It must be flattering Frank that the powers that be have decided to embroil you in a conspiracy. 😉

    Tallyho! My dear, dear Mr. Parlato….

    …And congratulations on your notoriety!
    • shadowstate1958August 19, 2019
      “Why the drama?

      Why the misdirection?”

      Because Ghislane Pimp Maxwell is in the US DOJ's crosshairs.

      Now that Epstein is dead, Pimp Maxwell is the highest profile target in this case.

      And here is a clue for you.

      Who owns the New York Post?

      Rupert Murdoch.

      Could it be that Rupert Murdoch printed these photos as a favor for Ghislane Pimp Maxwell, an old family friend of his?

      My use of tallyho is as a double entendre one is the original meaning for a fox huntsman cry in Websters and the second meaning is for a woman of ill repute in the Urban dictionary.

    • FlowersAugust 20, 2019
      I agree, Stan. One dog appears to be a labradoodle, and the other is perhaps a wheaten terrier. It's hard to tell because the fur is shorter in the FB pics, but the ears appear floppy on the dog which is under the table, and pointy on the other dog.

    GREAT CALLS, FR, in all of these pedo reports! Super sleuth Frank Parlato indeed is!

    I’m reminded of so many parallels to NXIVM…Ghislaine Maxwell even looks like Nancy Salzman.

    This whole configuration of women sacrificing, pimping out, mutilating even other women — especially when it comes to the younger ones — freaks me out more than the male pedo pervs themselves sometimes.

    RHIANNON, if you’re reading this angel, we need to hear from you — you know better than anyone how it was that an older woman (Pam Cafritz) lured you in to Keith’s — a pedophile’s —poisonous orbit — and not without dire consequences to Pam herself. So unlike the doe-eyed, innocent Pam I was once acquainted with and I wonder how she came across to you, Rhianon. Whether you sue or not I believe your truth will help many.

    Other KAR victims suckered in the same way, through a “wing woman,” 🤮 might please also chime in on this. I do wish my sister, Gina Hutchinson, had lived to tell for herself what role Karen U. and Kristin Keeffe played in her tragic story.

    “President – Meadowgate – Media – Investments – Inc

    Saffian is president of Meadowgate Media Investments Inc, according to public records.

    DailyMail.com has reached out to Saffian for comment.”

    What does this mean?
  • AnonyMakerAugust 20, 2019
    This seems to explain what I've been suspicious about: who sold the photos to the NY Post. I'd love to know what photos of a trending topic like Maxwell go for; it may have been enough to provide a lot of motive.

    And it looks like just amateurism and haplessness from beginning to end. Maxwell and Saffian likely cooked this up to make some money – though the author whose book was being promoted might have been in on it as well. It seems they attempted a bit of crude photoshopping clean-up, such as trying to take the garbage can out of the one picture and erasing some store signs visible behind Maxwell in another, that they thought would make the images more saleable. The Post apparently bought it hook, line, and sinker, including a concocted report of what Maxwell was supposed to have said.

    It's probably more Dumb and Dumber than Mission Impossible.

    p.s. One of the amateur erasures is quite evident in the photos here. In the second photo, just above Maxwell's head and then to the right, some of the signs on the strip mall across the street behind her can be seen; a black one that the umbrella pole blocks, and to the right of that a white one which appears blank but kind of pixelated. However, in the third the photographer has moved a bit and the black sign is over Maxwell's head, while the white one is blocked by the pole though the black letters “CL” and “S” can be made out on either side; it actually says CLEANERS, as can be verified in Google street view.
    • JaneAugust 20, 2019
      I think both are well off enough not to need the money though so if it were sold by one of them it would be for other reasons.
      • AnonyMakerAugust 20, 2019
        What would lead us to assume that Maxwell actually has any money of her own left? Her father turned out to have gone bust at the time of his death, and if I recall several of her siblings had to file for bankruptcy as a result. She then seems to have lived off Epstein's largesse for a long time – but of course any possibility of that recently came to an end, unless his brother is willing to see to her upkeep her for some reason.

        And it appears that she is on the outs with her most recent boyfriend – who may also have been her sugar daddy.

        It's quite possible that she's stuck in LA and desperate for spending money. It certainly has some elements of a publicity stunt with her mentioning of a provocative book – which then generated a lot of sales, and money, for the author – and it's possible she's angling to either promote some media deal (her friend could be shopping projects around LA), or hoping to shake money out of people who would rather that she remain out of sight and out of mind (including that brother).
    • FlowersAugust 20, 2019
      Anonymaker

      That type of photoshop is obvious, and is commonly used in these kinds of pictures.

      But in looking at the Good Boys poster, I see no evidence of editing. I can even see the reflection of a nearby car in the glass in front of the poster, which would be difficult to photoshop in, so I'm sure the poster was really there when the photos were taken.

      That makes me wonder why the writer is now making claims that the poster was photoshopped in, and that someone had visited the site to confirm this. Seems as though someone is deliberately lying about it. Why?
      • AnonyMakerAugust 20, 2019
        Flowers, I agree with you, photoshopping the poster would have taken a near quantum leap of skill over the rest of what can be seen to have been done – especially since it even has the seemingly correct reflection of a car to the left.

        It's been reported that a newspaper sent someone out who found that a different poster is currently up at that bus stand, and that the advertising agency said that they checked and there wasn't a Good Boys poster installed at the time, and so it had to have been photoshopped. But I think the accuracy of the account is open to question given what what's been revealed about the sloppy vetting by the media of this story and the photos; and I'd also question whether a large international firm can really be that sure of what was where and when, particularly if they contract out installation work that may then even end up being done by subcontractors (if you've ever had problems getting something like a cable install done when it was supposed to be, you've likely experienced the unreliability of contracted out work).

        I still think it looks like it comes down to the banality of Maxwell herself setting this up amateurishly with the help of her friend who's attempting to be some sort of media broker, and the NY Post tabloid sloppily falling all over themselves to get out what they thought was a scoop. It's a big enough story that the book referenced reportedly sold out at Amazon, so all the parties involved are probably making money and/or getting publicity/”eyeballs.”
        • JAugust 21, 2019
          Photoshopping a reflection is quite easy. They just need a stock image of that model car at 3/4 angle, resize and transform as necessary, create a layer on the poster at appropriate angle and make transparent with possibly other layer effects. It would take 5 minutes.
          • PeaceMakerAugust 21, 2019
            Easy, perhaps, for someone with a high-end graphics setup, training in the intricacies of software like Photoshop plus lots of professional experience, as well as ready access to resources like stock images of cars. And that's not taking into account what it would take to get an image of the movie poster with proper perspective and placement inserted in the first place, along with color and lighting adjustments, so that looks as if it belongs and the manipulations are undetectable.

            That's a relatively rare level of capability, compared to all the obvious work done on the photo by someone with just a bit of experience and something like a consumer version of Photoshop or GiMP freeware. I think it's less likely something that exceptional is what's at work, rather than that a poster for Good Boys was actually installed at the bus stop at some point this summer, and the staging of the photo op for sale to the tabloids is just an amateur operation from beginning to end – including that the NY Post apparently failed to flag the messy photoshopping out of the garbage can, that it doesn't take a professional to spot.

      This sort of speculation always seems to me to, well, miss the boat.

      If the subjects of speculation were clever and resourceful, they'd already have slipped away before it got to this point. The fact that they're now like deer caught in the headlights, means that they're rather hapless.

      Can anyone even think of an example of someone whose case was brought into the public eye, who then successfully fled abroad – and turned out to have had the foresight to have stashed money safely?
