25. I won't dispute any of the points you make, however you are wrong about one thing.

The testimony I posted was NOT from Virginia Giuffre's 2015 civil case against Maxwell. It was from a a 2016 lawsuit by Bradley Edwards & Paul Cassell against Alan Dershowitz. Virginia Giuffre was NOT a party to this lawsuit. She was strictly called as a witness.

Edwards and Cassell were suing for defamation because Dershowitz claimed that they knowingly filed a lawsuit containing falsehoods about him or at least failed to properly investigate their client’s allegations that Dershowitz had sexual relations with her when she was a minor. Again, Virginia Giuffre's only connection to this case was because she was called as a witness. She later filed her own defamation case against Dershowitz.

Here is Giuffre's deposition in her case against Maxwell. Much of the testimony is similar but it is not the same.
