"VICTIMS OF BILLIONAIRE PEDOPHILE WITH TIES TO BILL CLINTON AND TRUMP CLAIM FEDERAL PROSECUTORS OFFERED “SWEETHEART DEAL”


Prosecutors went to great lengths to keep secret the non-prosecution agreement reached in 2007 with Jeffrey Epstein, attorneys for the victims allege, “because of the strong objection they would have faced from victims of Epstein’s abuse, and because of the public criticism that would have resulted from allowing a politically-connected billionaire who had sexually abused more than 30 minor girls to escape … with only a county court jail sentence.”Before any allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced in 2005, Trump and Bill Clinton spoke glowingly of Epstein, and court records have included documents and testimony suggesting both men flew with Epstein on his private jets.
Court files document long-running ties between Epstein and the former president. Bill Clinton flew on at least six trips with Epstein and his entourage in 2002 and 2003 including to international destinations such as Paris, Bangkok and Brunei, according to logs kept by one of Epstein’s pilots.
And as Epstein first faced federal prosecution a few years later, one of his lawyers, Gerald B. Lefcourt, wrote to prosecutors to tout Epstein’s pedigree as “part of the original group that conceived of the Clinton Global Initiative,” according to a letter attached to Wednesday’s court filing.
At the heart of this week’s court filings is a deal Epstein reached with federal prosecutors in September of 2007 that spared him from a federal prosecution. After an extensive investigation by the Palm Beach police and the FBI, the Justice Department effectively immunized Epstein for multiple alleged offenses involving underage girls in exchange for his guilty pleas to two comparatively minor sex crimes in Florida state court. And Epstein’s lawyers persuaded the federal government to keep the terms of the agreement secret, according to the court filing by victims’ attorneys Bradley Edwards and Paul Cassell.
On the day the deal was signed, an attorney for Epstein sent an email to the federal prosecutor handling the case which read, “Please do whatever you can to keep this from becoming public,” according to an email exchange attached to Wednesday’s filing.
If he’d been charged and convicted on the federal counts, Epstein might have spent the rest of his life in prison. Instead, he now splits his time between his permanent residence – a private island estate off the coast of St. Thomas – and homes in Paris, New Mexico and New York City, where he owns what is purported to be one of the largest single-family residences in Manhattan.
– From the ABC News article: Victims: Feds Hid ‘Sweetheart’ Deal for Sex Offender With Deep Political Ties (http://abcnews.go.com/US/victims-feds-hid-sweetheart-deal-sex-offender-deep/story?id=36843144)
As I’ve said time and time again, the greatest cancer of all cancers afflicting these United States is a startling deterioration in the rule of law. Specifically, the institutionalization of a two-tier justice system in which the rich and powerful can (literally) get away with murder, while poor inner-city kids get locked up for “victimless” crimes.
One of the most egregious examples of our Banana Republic criminal justice system relates to billionaire pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein. A man who was barely punished for sexually abusing and exploiting at least 30 underage children.
This is a topic I touched upon a little over a year ago in the post, Oligarch Justice – Powerful Pedophiles Roam Free as Journalist Barrett Brown Returns to Jail (http://libertyblitzkrieg.com/2015/01/22/oligarch-justice-powerful-pedophiles-roam-free-as-barrett-brown-returns-to-jail/). Here are a few excerpts:

Bill Clinton took repeated trips on the “Lolita Express (http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/prince-andrew-allegation-first-pictures-4925112)“—the private passenger jet owned by billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein—with an actress in softcore porn movies whose name appears in Epstein’s address book under an entry for “massages,” according to flight logbooks obtained by Gawker and published today for the first time (https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/1507315-epstein-flight-manifests.html). The logs also show that Clinton shared more than a dozen flights with a woman who federal prosecutors believe procured underage girls to sexually service Epstein and his friends and acted as a “potential co-conspirator” in his crimes.
Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 (http://gawker.com/305599/jail-bound-ken-starr-cant-get-jeffrey-epstein-off) in Florida to one count of soliciting underage girls for sex (and one count of adult solicitation), for which he served just over a year in county jail. But sprawling local, state, and federal investigations into the eccentric investor’s habit of paying teen girls for “massages”—sessions during which he would allegedly penetrate girls with sex toys, demand to be masturbated, and have intercourse—turned up a massive network of victims, including 35 female minors whom federal prosecutors believed he’d sexually abused. He has reportedly settled lawsuits from more than 30 “Jane Doe” victims since 2008; the youngest alleged victim was 12 years old at the time of her abuse.
Some of his victims are understandably furious regarding Epstein’s joke of a punishment, and in new court filings claim that prosecutors secretly negotiated a sweetheart deal to save the politically connected pedophile.
We learn the following from ABC News (http://abcnews.go.com/US/victims-feds-hid-sweetheart-deal-sex-offender-deep/story?id=36843144):

New court filings are bringing fresh attention to a Florida sex scandal that could become grist for political trouble in the 2016 Presidential campaign.
The new legal filings allege that federal prosecutors in Florida “repeatedly” and “intentionally” violated the rights of dozens of teenage sex abuse victims by secretly negotiating an “extraordinarily lenient” deal with a wealthy Palm Beach financier known in the past to have socialized with powerful business and political figures — including former President Bill Clinton (http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/us/bill-clinton.htm) and current GOP front-runner Donald Trump (http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/donald-trump.htm).
Prosecutors went to great lengths to keep secret the non-prosecution agreement reached in 2007 with Jeffrey Epstein (http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/jeffrey-epstein-sex-offender.htm), attorneys for the victims allege, “because of the strong objection they would have faced from victims of Epstein’s abuse, and because of the public criticism that would have resulted from allowing a politically-connected billionaire who had sexually abused more than 30 minor girls to escape … with only a county court jail sentence.”
Throughout the negotiations — and for nearly a year after the agreement was signed — the victims were kept in the dark, their attorneys said, strung along as government lawyers promised victims they were still investigating even long after they had cut Epstein an “indulgent” deal.
But with his victims back in court to challenge the government’s handling of the case, there is new attention on Epstein’s ties to two men who find themselves facing the glare of a presidential campaign — Bill Clinton, husband of Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, and Trump, who is currently leading the GOP primary race.
Before any allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced in 2005, Trump and Bill Clinton spoke glowingly of Epstein, and court records have included documents and testimony suggesting both men flew with Epstein on his private jets.
Court files document long-running ties between Epstein and the former president. Bill Clinton flew on at least six trips with Epstein and his entourage in 2002 and 2003 including to international destinations such as Paris, Bangkok and Brunei, according to logs kept by one of Epstein’s pilots.
And as Epstein first faced federal prosecution a few years later, one of his lawyers, Gerald B. Lefcourt, wrote to prosecutors to tout Epstein’s pedigree as “part of the original group that conceived of the Clinton Global Initiative (http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/us/clinton-global-initiative.htm),” according to a letter attached to Wednesday’s court filing.
Reached Wednesday, Lefcourt said he would not have made that representation to the prosecutors had he not believed it was true. Representatives for both the Clinton Global Initiative and the former President did not immediately respond to ABC News’ requests for comment. According to the organization’s website, CGI was formed in 2005 by former President Clinton “after a lifetime of attending meetings where issues were discussed but no action was taken.”
Whether Trump invokes the scandal in an attempt to spur questions about Clinton’s association with Epstein may depend on his own history with the wealthy investor. In a New York Magazine article in 2002, Trump boasted of his friendship with Epstein: “I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy.”
“He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life,” he told the magazine.
At the heart of this week’s court filings is a deal Epstein reached with federal prosecutors in September of 2007 that spared him from a federal prosecution. After an extensive investigation by the Palm Beach police and the FBI, the Justice Department effectively immunized Epstein for multiple alleged offenses involving underage girls in exchange for his guilty pleas to two comparatively minor sex crimes in Florida state court.

I've not heard anything connecting the two, I'd likely have come across it if there was 'news' there. Doing a quick search just now, the one reference I found, from what I can tell from 2011-which would be much ado about nothing:

http://nymag.com/nymetro/news/people/n_7912/#comments


...Epstein likes to tell people that he's a loner, a man who's never touched alcohol or drugs, and one whose nightlife is far from energetic. And yet if you talk to Donald Trump, a different Epstein emerges. "I've known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,'' Trump booms from a speakerphone. "He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it -- Jeffrey enjoys his social life."...

I've heard much, much more about Bill Clinton and Epstein.

That's what is frustrating. According to rev, if you support Trump, you support pedophilia and David Duke. He just plays games instead of straight up accusing..

Ive never said anything beyond what the articles say.
Period.
I was looking at info on the Duck Dynasty guy talking about his abuse as a 6 year old and saw this article.

But as i said in Kathianne's thread with the MAFIA Connected friend of Trump,
At this point it seems Trump can only be really accused of poor judgement.
the main of the article is about Epstien and his actions not Trump.
Trump is a small side dish tossed in by the article writer. BUT it's Something we all should be aware of don't you think? Or should we ignore just it? If it were Sanders or Obama would you ignore it?

But the focus that perianne put here is more to my point than all the Trump talk.

though i can understand why some might have thought it was part of the many bits i've run about Trump in general lately.
But sorry not this time. Pedophila and the rich getting off lightly and hanging out with other rich/celebrities/politicians in general is what disturbed me most here.

Rev, I agree with you that 'character counts.' I'm not looking for saints, they would never be in politics. I do want someone though that seems to know what ethical and civil behavior are, even if not always perfect in practice.

Rubio has admitted that acting like Trump was something he felt he had to do, not wanted to do. Only way to stand up to a bully is to outbully him, it worked. Maybe not for Rubio per se, but began to open up some eyes. At least Rubio laughed, he was acting 'comical.' Trump really is just that mean.

Some see that meanness as a feature, not a problem. Like his presidency or not, Reagan wasn't mean. He was tough in seeing through what he wanted, he knew what he wanted to do. He had a core set of beliefs, one of which was faith in the American people-all of them.

I don't think Trump a racist, I think he has no problem though in gaining supporters that are. THAT doesn't mean all his supporters are racist either. Most aren't, just like most people aren't. Obama did the same he had 0 problems coming out with things that would appeal to blacks, at the same time going 'post partisan/post racism.'

I certainly wouldn't label or even hint at someone being a pedophile or tolerant of one by a mention in an article about one. To me that is a place I won't go.

A fraud? A con man? A fake conservative? Sure.

Again.
as you did with your article that associated Trump with a known gangster, while not accusing him of being one.
this article ONLY shows that Trump has associated with with characters that are known pedophiles and abusers of woman (Epstien and Clinton).

I have not said that he is a pedophile. Just as you didn't say ...just by posting an article... that Trump was a mobster.

you said earlier that it much ado about nothing you quote Trump earlier "...Epstein likes to tell people that he's a loner, a man who's never touched alcohol or drugs, and one whose nightlife is far from energetic. And yet if you talk to Donald Trump, a different Epstein emerges. "I've known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,'' Trump booms from a speakerphone. "He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it -- Jeffrey enjoys his social life."..."

Well, he was aware that many of the women are "younger", It's possible that he didn't know HOW young.
Again his judgment is in question here if we just want to focus on Trump.

But Epstien is another matter. As a billionaire he help the Clinton's and hung out MORE with the Bill. and work on their projects.
No one seems to have a hot problem with the the fact that the headline i posted has Clinton's name in it as well.

Look high level elite pedohilia is an issues that needs to be OUTED again and again not muffled so some politician doesn't get a hint of scandal on their shoes as stand by it. This type of thing tends to get swept under the rug over and over. Or glossed over like at Dennis Hastert link (http://www.wsj.com/articles/hastert-allegedly-paid-to-keep-secret-past-sexual-misconduct-1432932976) link (https://www.corbettreport.com/the-real-hastert-scandal-pedophilia-drug-money-and-blackmail/) , Mark Foley and Barney Franks
This is one point i agree with Perianne on 100%, young girls AND Boys lives are being SH*T on while these scumbags jet off to private island and mansions. They should be shot

Trump I'd guess is innocent, while Clinton is more suspect IMO.
But sorry I don't have a problem at all to making public note of known pedophile associates/acquaintances.... R or D...

I'm pretty sure when I posted that article, it was in the context of what we'll be seeing in the summer and no way to judge what's 'real' and 'what's not.'

I'm of the mind that someone with his history, marriages, comments about daughter, vulgarness probably has some unsavory characters lurking around. My takeaway from the mob story is that he would let his employees be denigrated and pay a fine for keeping a 'high roller' around. 'It's business...'

"Woman Claims Parents Sold Her To An International Sex Trafficking Organization – At Birth "


Mainstream Media Finally Exposes Elite Pedophile Rings in a Horrifying Episode of Dr. Phil
In an exclusive interview seen by millions across the United States, Dr. Phil exposed the deadly secretive, and the highly organized world of elite pedophilia — with a former child sex slave going by the name of “Kendall” describing being literally born into, and growing up in, the world of elite sexual slavery.

Kendall explains that she was born to be a sex slave, as her parents intentionally had her for the trafficker she calls her “owner.” Kendall says that her parents sold her at birth to an elite pedophile ring that serviced some of the world’s power elite, describing her first memories as being passed around groups of rich and prominent men and women for them to “take turns” with her for sadistic sexual pleasure.
Making her first public appearance after escaping from the man she calls her “owner,” Kendall describes being forced to participate in actions that shock the conscience. She explains that she was forced to rape children as young as 5- years-old, and even admits to having been forced to kill a baby by the human trafficker she describes as her “owner.”

Kendall says that she can tell the difference between kids born into sexual slavery and ones that have been kidnapped, as the ones born into it are more docile and less upset as it is the only reality they have ever known. When Dr. Phil asks how old she thinks she was when she was first raped, Kendall explains that it was “before I could talk – I was used to it by the time I was 2.”

She says she doesn’t even know her actual age, as she has been a sex slave her entire life, being trafficked around the globe to be molested and raped by the societal elites – including high ranking law enforcement official, major sports franchise owners and even high level U.S. politicians.

She describes having birthed 3 children while in captivity, all of which have been taken from her by her owner/trafficker, and are believed by Kendall to now be child sex slaves themselves.

“I was allowed to get pregnant, because men paid for that,” Kendall said.

Evidence suggests that Trump and Epstein knew each other, but didn't like each other.

Epstein Judge: I’ll Take Bail Under Advisement Until Thursday
ED MORRISSEYPosted at 12:01 pm on July 15, 2019

...

That seems to be the general idea here, too. So why didn’t Berman just reject Epstein’s application out of hand? Why wait three days to make a decision on what seems to be a straightforward bail question on yet another wealthy defendant proposing to construct his own jail?


One has to wonder whether Berman’s looking at the indictment itself. Epstein’s defense team is challenging it as a violation of the Department of Justice’s agreement in 2007 with Epstein. Former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy thinks that they have a good argument, and that their chances of getting this indictment tossed are better than people might suspect:

Acosta’s Sweetheart Deal Likely to Foreclose Epstein’s SDNY Prosecution

By ANDREW C. MCCARTHY
(https://www.nationalreview.com/author/andrew-c-mccarthy/)

July 13, 2019 5:30 AM
Double-jeopardy rules almost certainly prohibit settling a federal case and then prosecuting it again in federal court.


Alex Acosta did a bad job on the Jeffrey Epstein case. This column was nearly finished when news broke Friday that he would resign as labor secretary. I was going to argue that his lapses did not justify joining the nakedly political mau-mauing by Democrats who have no interest in exploring the behavior of Democrats who are neck-deep in a monstrous pedophile’s activities. My friend Jennifer Braceras has ably addressed that point in a Washington Examiner column. I was also going to add that I’d shed no tears if President Trump forced Acosta out — easy for me to say, since I think (a) he should never have been nominated in the first place, and (b) his commitment to Trump’s deregulation agenda has never been sufficiently ardent.

Double Jeopardy
On Monday, Geoffrey Berman, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced that his office has now charged Epstein. While the SDNY indictment may be new, Epstein’s crimes are not. They are the same offenses from which Acosta agreed to spare Epstein from federal prosecution if he pled guilty to state prostitution charges — which Epstein proceeded to do, in reliance on Acosta’s commitment. There is thus a very good chance, based on the Constitution’s guarantee against double jeopardy, that the SDNY case against Epstein will be voided by the SD-Florida non-prosecution agreement (non-pros).


To be sure, the SDNY has a counterargument, and it will be vigorously made. It has two components. First, there is language in the non-pros that appears to limit the agreement to SD-Florida, to wit: “prosecution in this District for these offenses shall be deferred in favor of prosecution by the State of Florida” (emphasis added). Here, “deferred” effectively means forfeited — the same effect for double-jeopardy purposes as a conviction or acquittal — because of Epstein’s compliance with the requirement that he plead guilty in the state case. Second, there is jurisprudence in the Second Circuit (which controls in the SDNY) holding that one federal district’s agreement does not bind another.


Therefore, prosecutors will argue that the 2007 SD-Florida non-pros does not bar a 2019 SDNY indictment arising out of the same conduct and charging the same offenses.


I’m skeptical . . . and I think the SDNY is, too, notwithstanding the brave face prosecutors put on this week. They have carefully drafted an indictment far narrower than the SD-Florida’s contemplated case. If prosecutors really believed that there was no double-jeopardy problem, they’d have no such hesitation: They’d throw everything the FBI ever had at this sociopath. They know they are on thin ice.

ALLAHPUNDITPosted at 1:31 pm on July 15, 2019

This wasn’t the safe on Pedophile Island stashed in a room that no one’s allowed to enter. This was a safe in his ultra-ultra-ultra-luxe Manhattan townhouse.


The guy’s so shady that something as cartoonishly shady as a fake passport doesn’t make the cut for his most secure hiding place. What the hell’s in the safe on the island? The Necronomicon?

Add to this to the list of mysteries, then. How’d Epstein make his money? Who are his “clients,” and what service is he providing to them? Why was Alex Acosta allegedly told that he “belonged to intelligence”? And, um, “Jeffrey Epstein” is his real name, isn’t it?


“Just this morning the government became aware of a safe that contained a pile of cash, diamonds, a passport from a foreign country with a picture of the defendant under another name,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Alex Rossmiller told U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman.


“The passport was issued in the name of a foreign country, it was issued in the 1980s, it is expired, it shows a picture of Jeffrey Epstein, and another name,” Rossmiller said, adding the passport showed Epstein’s residence as Saudi Arabia.


We can only guess what sort of illegal activity precipitated his decision to get a false passport 30+ years ago, just in case he had to flee the country when the feds were looking for him. Financial fraud? Sex trafficking? And why Saudi Arabia? That seems random since Epstein doesn’t look Arabic. If he was going to choose a country at random in obtaining a forged passport, you would think he’d choose one where he might more plausibly reside. But maybe it isn’t random. Vicky Ward, who’s been following the Epstein story for years, claimed a few days ago that a former senior White House official(!) told her of Epstein, “He knew a lot of rich Arabs, including the crown prince of Saudi Arabia.” There’s a photo of Mohammed bin Salman, the Kingdom’s crown prince, in his New York home, in fact.


How’d he get that fake Saudi passport? I’m curious to know if it’s a mediocre fake or good enough to fool an expert. That rumor about him “belonging to intelligence” seems a shade more plausible every day.


The Manhattan townhouse is the same place where federal agents claim they found “an extraordinary volume of photographs of nude and partially-nude young women or girls,” by the way. The NYT had a charming anecdote about that tucked away at the end of a story this weekend about all of the rich scumbags who happily welcomed him back into elite society after he served time for sex offenses.


Just three months ago, as federal prosecutors were closing in with new charges, Mr. Epstein had a conversation with R. Couri Hay, a publicist, about continuing to improve his reputation. Mr. Epstein asserted that what he was convicted of did not constitute pedophilia, said Mr. Hay, who declined to represent him.


The girls he had sex with were “tweens and teens,” Mr. Epstein told him.


Epstein knew exactly how to reassure members of his class that he was still a “respectable” member of the upper crust after leaving prison, ingratiating himself to faculty and administrators at Harvard (he didn’t go there) and otherwise “surround[ing] himself with prestige” by showing off his wealth and connections. It gave him an air of impunity, which was seductive to friends and intimidating to victims. And I’m sure it also created a sense in people that his crimes simply couldn’t have been *that* bad. If they were, he would have paid more of a price for having committed them, wouldn’t he? That’s what Acosta’s sweetheart deal did for him.


I have to say, as comprehensively loathsome as Epstein is, there does seem to be a touch of genius to him in knowing how to manipulate people. Increasingly this feels like “Catch Me If You Can” except 8,000 times darker.


In order to better see just how dark he was, read the Smoking Gun’s account of how Epstein allegedly lured his “number one girl” into his web. It started with money for “massages,” proceeded to repeated acts of statutory rape, involved at least one act of forcible rape, and of course included cash bonuses for recruiting other girls. He was supposedly well aware of the girl’s age too, urging her not to tell anyone her real age. Exit quotation from yet another alleged victim, this one 14 years old at the time: “[S]he thought he was on steroids because he was a ‘really built guy and his wee wee was very tiny.'”

Epstein is just one unlucky dude. Had he been able to hold off the pedo charges for say another 20 years, maybe even 10, or less, by then the progressive democrats will probably have normalized pedophilia to the point where at least it's not thought to be illegal.

https://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/06/opinion/pedophilia-a-disorder-not-a-crime.html

It'll make the muslims happy to have pedophilia normalized too, because their prophet married a six year old and raped her when she was nine, and the muslims like to marry little girls too.

Epstein just got busted too early. He can't help it... he's a just a... let's see... what's the new leftist term for a pedo... oh yeah, "minor attracted person."

Homos opened this door, and now pedos want to be part of it...

As I aid earlier in the thread, if Hillary had won in 2016 no one would have even looked into Epstein, fucking Democrats don't give a shit about kids, or rape, they care about power.

“IT’S GOING TO BE STAGGERING, THE AMOUNT OF NAMES”: AS THE JEFFREY EPSTEIN CASE GROWS MORE GROTESQUE, MANHATTAN AND DC BRACE FOR IMPACT
The disgraced financier “collected people,” said a source. Could some of them be implicated in his crimes? Meanwhile, Alan Dershowitz (“He’s a bad person”) and David Boies (“He’s a liar”) are already at war over the case.




BY GABRIEL SHERMAN

he Jeffrey Epstein case is an asteroid poised to strike the elite world in which he moved. No one can yet say precisely how large it is. But as the number of women who’ve accused the financier (at least, that’s what he claimed to be) of sexual assault grows to grotesque levels—there are said to be more than 50 women who are potential victims—a wave of panic is rippling through Manhattan, DC, and Palm Beach, as Epstein’s former friends and associates rush to distance themselves, while gossiping about who might be ensnared. Donald Trump’s labor secretary, Alexander Acosta, architect of the original 2007 non-prosecution agreement that let Epstein off with a wrist slap, has already been forced to resign.


The questions about Epstein are metastasizing much faster than they can be answered: Who knew what about Epstein’s alleged abuse? How, and from whom, did Epstein get his supposed $500 million fortune? Why did Acosta grant Epstein an outrageously lenient non-prosecution agreement? (And what does it mean that Acosta was reportedly told Epstein “belonged to intelligence”?) But among the most pressing queries is which other famous people might be exposed for committing sex crimes. “There were other business associates of Mr. Epstein’s who engaged in improper sexual misconduct at one or more of his homes. We do know that,” said Brad Edwards, a lawyer for Courtney Wild, one of the Epstein accusers who gave emotional testimony at Epstein’s bail hearing. “In due time the names are going to start coming out.” (Attorneys for Epstein did not respond to a request for comment.)


Likely within days, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit will release almost 2,000 pages of documents that could reveal sexual abuse by “numerous prominent American politicians, powerful business executives, foreign presidents, a well-known prime minister, and other world leaders,” according to the three-judge panel's ruling. The documents were filed during a civil defamation lawsuit brought by Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre, a former Mar-a-Lago locker-room attendant, against Epstein’s former girlfriend and alleged madam, Ghislaine Maxwell. “Nobody who was around Epstein a lot is going to have an easy time now. It’s all going to come out,” said Giuffre’s lawyer David Boies. Another person involved with litigation against Epstein told me: “It’s going to be staggering, the amount of names. It’s going to be contagion numbers.”

Seems like that should have been an easy call. Dude owns a private island outside of the US jurisdiction and federal agents have already located one passport that had his picture in it along with another name.

I still think this guy ends up killing himself before he can rat out anyone else.

Bail? Certainly. He may not be needed to out people, they have his 'black book' and no notice if he kept some sort of blackmail list.

If folks are interested in deep dive into Epstein horror show this is one of the most comprehensive collection/series of reports about the questions and connections.
(if you want read stories that make Rs look good and just Ds look bad then you'll be disappointed.)


"Epstein, the billionaire pedophile and sex trafficker with a myriad of connections to the rich and powerful in the United States and several other countries, had told those close to him that he had feared for his life prior to his sudden “suicide,” the Washington Post reported, while his defense lawyers claimed that he had planned to cooperate with federal authorities.

Following the controversial conclusion by the New York Medical Examiner that Epstein’s death was a suicide — a conclusion contested by Epstein’s attornies as well as by independent forensic pathologists, given the apparent evidence pointing towards strangulation — corporate media coverage of the Epstein case has slowed to a trickle, save for sensationalist stories about his alleged co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell and new salacious details of his past. Gone from corporate media are any hints of the larger scandal, revolving around the admission that Epstein had “belonged to intelligence.” ...."

BTW the same JPMORGAN CHASE


"JPMorgan Chase accused of purging accounts of conservative activists
JPMorgan first landed in hot water soon after conservative activists Enrique Tarrio, Joe Biggs, Laura Loomer and Martina Markota discovered their accounts at Chase were closed within weeks of each other earlier this year — and without satisfactory explanations, they claim.
Tarrio is a President Trump supporter and head of the Proud Boys organization. Several Chase managers could not give him a satisfactory reason for the account’s closure. One even called the closing “mind-boggling.”"
