Mike Cernovich: Jeffrey Epstein Was an Asset of the FBI

Cernovich on Wednesday claims Jeffrey Epstein was an asset of the FBI.

The Epstein Files. Today a tranche of documents were released in a case involving Jeffrey Epstein. There's no revelations. Jeffrey Epstein's case was covered up. I can explain why.

In 2017, my lawyer Marc Randazza found a wonky freedom of the press case. There was a defamation case, and although Jeffrey Epstein wasn't named as a defendant, the case was central to some "conspiracy theories." Marc asked me if I wanted to file a motion to intervene. We expected it to be a simple matter.

Media interest was almost zero. No one in the "free press" cared. Then Trump nominated Alexander Acosta to the Secretary of Labor. Acosta had handled the original Epstein criminal case, and said Epstein was given kid gloves treatments due to protection from the intelligence community.

Epstein was an asset of the FBI. What his exact relation was remains sealed.

By 2019 the case I sought to intervene in had an ORANGE MAN BAD angle because Acota was Trump's Labor Secretary. Even if the motives were impure, at least we were on to the races.

Hundreds-of-thousands of dollars later, a trip to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, and a lot of fighting, we had a batch of documents ready to be unsealed.

In 2019 I wrote the following after a press conference was held re: Epstein's arrest:

" Why didn't the SNDY charge Jeffrey Epstein under the Mann Act? Under the Mann Act, it's unlawful to transport an underage girl through interstate travel, including on an airplane."

Q Research General #24761: Bill Clinton “likes them young, referring to girls” Edition

>>20178783
Rene Alexander Acosta (born January 16, 1969)[1] is an American attorney and politician, who served as the 27th United States Secretary of Labor from 2017 to 2019.President Donald Trump nominated Acosta to be Labor Secretary on February 16, 2017, and he was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on April 27, 2017.

A member of the Republican Party, he was appointed by President George W. Bush to the National Labor Relations Board, and later served as the assistant attorney general for civil rights and the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida. He is a former dean of Florida International University College of Law. He has twice been named on the '50 most important Hispanics' list by Hispanic Business Magazine.

In 2007-2008, as U.S. attorney, Acosta approved a plea deal that allowed child-trafficking ring-leader Jeffrey Epstein to plead guilty to a single state charge of solicitation, in exchange for a federal non-prosecution agreement.[2] After Epstein's arrest in July 2019 on sex trafficking charges, Acosta faced renewed and harsher criticism for his role in the 2008 non-prosecution agreement, as well as criticism and calls for his resignation; he resigned on July 19 and was replaced by Eugene Scalia

JPM Lawsuit Shows Dem. Rep. Plaskett Solicited Epstein For Campaign Contributions

Chances are, if Democratic Representative Stacey Plaskett's name is in the headlines then it is not for good reason. When she's not explicitly making threats of prison time against the likes of investigative journalists like Matt Taibbi for their research into government corruption then she still has a hard time veiling her malevolent intent, as demonstrated when she "accidentally" called for Donald Trump to be shot in a freudian slip that spoke more volumes about the integrity of the congresswoman more than any scripted partisan rhetoric she prepares for her latest appearance on MSNBC ever could. That boisterousness has further etched her name into infamy as her latest slip of the tongue drew ire that put her back in the cross hairs of her critics. With a renewed sense of animosity aimed at her, it didn't take long for Plaskett to see herself enveloped in another controversy that further demonstrates the complete dearth of any moral compass.

Unsealed documents from the lawsuit brought against JPMorgan for their role in enabling the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein show that Plaskett was found to have directly solicited campaign contributions from the sexual predator ahead of the 2018 midterm elections. Of course, in 2018 Epstein's status as a serial sex offender suspected to be operating an on-going human trafficking network as a political blackmail tool was well-known, let alone to an elected democratic official who likely took aim against Donald Trump's first Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta for his role at the Department of Justice in tendering a non-prosecution agreement for Epstein under the direction of then FBI Director Robert Mueller.

Given the lack of self awareness Plaskett has conveyed throughout her congressional career, it should come as no surprise that she made a vapid attempt to play dumb when evidence of Epstein's donations to her campaign came to light. The democratic representative states she was unaware of those contributions until after press reports pointing to them following her campaign finance filings. Yet, the documents in the JPMorgan lawsuit which bring this issue back to light irrefutably prove that Plaskett herself emailed Epstein directly to beg for his financial support. "I would be grateful for his support and the support of those that he may direct to assist me," she wrote in an email on July 12th, 2018 in which she invited Epstein to her Bloomberg campaign fundraiser in New York City.

Further examination of those unsealed documents shows that Plaskett's foray into the tangled web Esptein wove was aided by her connection to former First Lady of the Virgin Islands Cecile DeJongh – a woman who served as the office manager of several of the sex offenders companies. De Jongh's earliest correspondence with Epstein regarding Plaskett was referenced in the lawsuit in an email going all the way back to 2014 when she first vied for the at-large congressional seat reserved for the US Virgin Islands against then Virgin Island Senate President Shawn Malone. Plaskett seemingly being groomed directly by Epstein's network highlights an even greater involvement in his criminal syndicate than any one-time donation could prove.

Plaskett last addressed being revealed as another cog in the Epstein political machine on June 8th when she was a guest on WTJX FM talkshow Analyze This. The congresswoman chalked up Epstein's donation as nothing more than a "bad fundraising decision." Despite the admission of guilt, Plaskett's spokesman Mike McQueery told CNBC that she had no plans to return the donation back in 2019 in the wake of Epstein's final arrest. This controversy of Plaskett's has come to rear its ugly head again, though this time the revelation of her emails removes any doubt that she knowingly solicited the donation directly from Epstein. Given her track record, it is sure that her connection to Epstein is only one of many skeletons to emerge from her closet with many more likely to follow in its footsteps.

>>Claim she is covered by a 2007 Non-Prosecution Agreement between Federal Prosecutors and Epstein in whicha provision states they cannot prosecute co-conspirators..

>That 'deal' was illegally made.

"… only the best people!"

When Alexander Acosta was being considered for the position of secretary of labor, Donald Trump's transition team was concerned about the fact that Acosta, as US attorney for southern Florida, made the secret non-prosecution plea deal back in 2008 with Epstein's attorneys. Would it not cause problems at confirmation hearings?

Acosta reportedly explained that he'd cut the deal with Epstein's attorneys because he had "been told" to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade: "I was told Epstein 'belonged to intelligence' and to leave it alone."

The only source for this bewildering, explosive comment is Vicky Ward of the Daily Beast and formerly of Vanity Fair, who said she heard this from a former senior White House official. (Ward has said that she was prepared years ago to write about Epstein's crimes, but that Vanity Fair declined to publish her report.)

Acosta could not be reached for comment last week about his alleged quote, and he was evasive when asked by a reporter in July whether he was aware at any point that Epstein was an intelligence asset.

"There has been reporting to that effect," he said. "I would hesitate to take this reporting as fact."

But there is intriguing evidence elsewhere. In a recent interview with NBC's Dateline, former Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter described what happened as the police spent months quietly gathering and meticulously verifying evidence of what Epstein had been up to.

As the investigation wore on, Reiter told NBC, odd things began to happen. When detectives armed with a search warrant entered his home with a video camera, what they found made them suspect he had been tipped off.

"The place had been cleaned up," Reiter said. A computer that contained all of the home's surveillance footage was gone, "and all the wires were left hanging there."

After six months of investigation, Reiter said, local police noticed a shift in attitude by the state prosecutors. They suddenly seemed dismissive of the case, telling Reiter that the witnesses were not credible. And they hindered their efforts by refusing to approve the use of critical investigative techniques.

Billionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's apology
The Palm Beach Post

"While Mr. Edwards was representing clients against me, I filed a lawsuit against him in which I made allegations about him that the evidence conclusively proves were absolutely false.

The truth was that his aggressive investigation and litigation style was highly effective and therefore troublesome for me.

The lawsuit I filed was my unreasonable attempt to damage his business reputation and cause Mr. Edwards to stop pursuing cases against me. It did not work. Despite my efforts, he continued to do an excellent job for his clients and, through his relentless pursuit, held me responsible.

I am now admitting that I was wrong and that the things I said to try to harm Mr. Edwards's reputation as a trial lawyer were false.

I sincerely apologize for the false and hurtful allegations I made and hope some forgiveness for my acknowledgment of wrongdoing."

'Open secret' at Royal Palm High: At least 15 students were lured to Jeffrey Epstein's Palm Beach mansion

Tucked in the drawer of Jeffrey Epstein's bedroom desk, near a massage table and a wooden armoire filled with sex toys, was a teenage girl's Royal Palm Beach High School transcript.

She was 16 years old when Epstein lured her to his Palm Beach home set at the end of a dead-end street behind a wall of hedges.

And she's one of at least 15 girls from Royal Palm Beach High School who Epstein sexually exploited in that bedroom 15 years ago, police reports reveal.

Epstein, a multimillionaire financier then in his 50s, lured a procession of girls as young as 14 to his home to perform nude massages for money, police and court records say. The massages often ended with Epstein groping or sexually assaulting the girls.

Epstein's victims attended several Palm Beach County schools, including Lake Worth Middle and Palm Beach Gardens High.

But Royal Palm Beach High, with about 3,000 students, many from the county's rural reaches, was ground zero.

Evidence suggests Epstein knew his victims were school girls and the signs didn't escape Royal Palm Beach High administrators. The girls endured teasing and classmates called them "prostitutes." After two girls fought, an administrator found one of them had $300 in her purse.

Aside from the student transcript found in Epstein's desk in 2005, police collected more evidence and witness statements that suggest Epstein knew his victims were still school children:

He scrawled a note on Jeffrey E. Epstein-branded stationery instructing one of his employees to deliver a dozen roses to a girl who performed in a Royal Palm Beach High play. Police found the note in his trash.

One 16-year-old girl described to detectives giving Epstein a massage while she was topless. He asked her about herself and she told him she was a student at Royal Palm High. He then asked her which was her favorite sexual position, she told police.

Another girl, who met Epstein at age 16, said Epstein reviewed her college applications and SAT scores and promised to help her get into her dream school, New York University.

Though Palm Beach detectives uncovered these details in 2005, the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office and U.S. Attorney's Office in Miami, then headed by Alexander Acosta, cut Epstein a plea deal that landed him in jail for 13 months on two charges of soliciting prostitution.

This month, a decade after his release from a Palm Beach County jail, federal agents in New York arrested Epstein, 66, on charges of sex trafficking minors. The move came eight months after a Miami Herald investigation zeroed in on Acosta's role in Epstein's plea deal and let victims tell their stories publicly for the first time.

Epstein preyed on dozens of girls, at least 32 identified at the time by police but about 80 identified in 2018 by the Herald.

"These girls had never even been to Palm Beach island," said Adam Horowitz, an attorney who represented Epstein victims in eight civil lawsuits filed against the multimillionaire.

"Some of them were living in trailer parks. This was a whole new world to them."

For Epstein: 'The younger the better'
Some of the girls told Epstein they were uncomfortable with being touched during massages, so he asked them to bring friends instead, police reports and court records reveal.

Royal Palm Beach High was a target by coincidence.

"One of Epstein's recruiters managed to infiltrate that circle," Horowitz said.

The "recruiter" approached a 17-year-old Royal Palm Beach High School student in 2003 at a resort in Riviera Beach with an offer to make $200 for an hour to give a massage, she told police two years later.

The teen went to Epstein's seven-bedroom home on the Intracoastal Waterway, where an assistant led her up a staircase lined with pictures of naked young girls and into Epstein's bedroom, police say.

In keeping with descriptions to police from many Epstein victims, the teen found Epstein wearing only a towel, which he later removed, before lying on a massage table.

Epstein tried to grope her, but she resisted. She told him she didn't want to be touched, she told detectives.

So Epstein asked her to bring friends to his home for cash instead. "The younger the better," Epstein said, according to her police statement.

Going into her senior year at Royal Palm Beach High, the girl became a conduit to the school, recruiting at least eight other girls she'd met on campus, court depositions and police testimonies reveal.

And those girls recruited more girls.

EPSTEIN TIMELINE

2005

March: A 14-year-old girl and her parents report that Jeffrey Epstein molested her at a mansion in Palm Beach. She said a female acquaintance and classmate at Royal Palm Beach High School had taken her to the house to give him a massage in exchange for money.

April: Palm Beach police begin trash pulls at Epstein's home, discovering a telephone message for Epstein with the girl's name on it, and a time that matched the time that she told police she was there. They find the names and phone numbers of other girls on message slips in his trash.

October: With the police probe in full swing, one of Epstein's assistants calls one of the girls just as she is being questioned by police. Investigators begin interviewing more girls, as well as Epstein's butlers, who tell them that Epstein had frequent visits from girls throughout the day. On Oct. 20, they execute a search warrant at his house on El Brillo Way in Palm Beach.

2006

May: Police sign a probable cause affidavit charging Epstein and two of his assistants with multiple counts of unlawful sex acts with a minor. The Palm Beach state attorney, Barry Krischer, instead refers the case to a grand jury.

June: The grand jury, after hearing from only one girl, returns an indictment of one count of solicitation of prostitution. The charge does not reflect that the victim in question and others were minors.

July: Epstein's powerhouse legal team tries to negotiate a deal with the State Attorney's Office. Lawyers discuss a deferred prosecution in which Epstein would enter a pretrial intervention program and serve no jail time.

July: After pressure from the Palm Beach police chief, the FBI opens a federal investigation, dubbed "Operation Leap Year.'' Documents list the possible crime as "child prostitution.''

November: The FBI begins interviewing potential witnesses and victims from Florida, New York and New Mexico.

2007

May: As the U.S. Attorney's Office prepares to present the case to a federal grand jury, Epstein's attorneys request a meeting to discuss the investigation.

June: A 53-page indictment is prepared by the U.S. Attorney's Office as, simultaneously, plea negotiations are initiated with Epstein's legal team.

July: Grand jury subpoenas are issued for Epstein's computers, which were apparently removed from his Palm Beach home prior to the police search.

August: The U.S. attorney in Miami, Alexander Acosta, enters into direct discussions about the plea agreement; a motion to compel production of Epstein's computers is delayed.

September: Federal prosecutors draw up several federal plea agreements that are rejected by Epstein and his attorneys. Epstein signs a non-prosecution agreement on Sept. 24, but his attorneys continue to delay his court appearance.

October: With the non-prosecution agreement still being debated, Acosta meets with Epstein lawyer Jay Lefkowitz at the West Palm Beach Marriott on Okeechobee Road to discuss finalizing a deal. Among the terms agreed upon: that the victims would not be notified, that the deal would be kept under seal and all grand jury subpoenas would be canceled.

November: Epstein's lawyers object to an addendum to the agreement. The provision called for a special master to appoint an attorney to represent Epstein victims' rights to civil compensation.

December: The two sides continue to debate the addendum. Epstein attorney Kenneth Starr asks for a review of the agreement by the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington, further delaying its execution. Victims are told the investigation is continuing.

July: Epstein's victims learn about his plea in state court after the fact. They file an emergency petition to force federal prosecutors to comply with the federal Crime Victims' Rights Act, which mandates certain rights for crime victims, including the right to be informed about plea agreements and the right to appear at sentencing.

August: Epstein's victims learn that he has already been sent to jail, and that the federal investigation is over. They seek to have his plea agreement unsealed, but federal prosecutors argue against releasing the agreement, commencing a yearlong court battle to learn the terms of Epstein's plea bargain.

October: Epstein begins work release from the county stockade. He is picked up by his private driver six days a week and transported to an office in West Palm Beach, where he accepts visitors for up to 12 hours a day. He returns to the stockade in the evenings to sleep.

Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyers cite Bill Cosby case in seeking dismissal
July 3 (UPI) – Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyers have cited a non-prosecution agreement similar to one obtained by Bill Cosby in seeking to drop the sex trafficking case against the British socialite.
Cosby, 83, was released from prison Wednesday after serving more than two years of a three-to-10-year sentence on a 2018 conviction for drugging and sexually assaulting a woman in 2004.
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned the conviction, basing the decision on the grounds that Cosby had an agreement with a previous prosecutor that he wouldn't be charged in the case.
Late Friday, lawyers for Maxwell, 59, argued in a letter to U.S. District Court Judge Alison Nathan that her case should also be dropped since she had a similar NPA.
Maxwell, a confidante of financier Jeffrey Epstein, allegedly recruited underage girls for a sex trafficking network he ran from about 1997 to 2004.
"The government is trying to renege on its agreement and prosecute Ms. Maxwell over 25 years later for the exact same offenses for which she was granted immunity in the NPA," the attorneys wrote.
Maxwell was in a "similar situation" as Cosby, they added.
Already facing six counts of participating in Epstein's sex trafficking network, Maxwell was hit with two new charges in March lengthening the duration of the alleged conspiracy due to the involvement of an additional alleged victim.
Maxwell has pleaded not guilty to all charges. If convicted, she could face up to 80 years in prison.
Epstein, 66, was found dead in August 2019 of a suspected suicide in his prison cell where he was being held on sex trafficking charges.
In April 2020, a federal appeals court ruled that federal prosecutors had not broken the law when they made a 2007 agreement with Epstein shielding him from prosecution on charges related to sexual abuse of minors.
Epstein registered as a sex offender as part of the deal made with federal prosecutor Alexander Acosta in Florida. Acosta later headed the U.S. Department of Labor under President Donald Trump's administration, but resigned after controversy about the NPA.
Maxwell attorney David Oscar Markus also compared her case to Cosby's in an opinion piece published Wednesday in the New York Daily News.
Prosecutors, however, noted in a court filing made the next day that Nathan has already ruled that the deal negotiated between Epstein and Acosta in Florida does not apply to her ongoing case in Manhattan Federal Court in New York.

Report: Labor Secretary Stonewalled Release of Sex Abuse Docs

Boston mayor releases alleged pedophile cop docs concealed by Walsh administration



President Joe Biden's point man on labor issues blocked the release of documents related to a major union officer accused of sexual abuse, according to the Boston Globe, which attempted to obtain the records through public records requests.

Labor Secretary Marty Walsh's mayoral administration in Boston overruled a public records supervisor and stonewalled a Boston Globe investigation into an alleged pedophile in the ranks of the city police department. The files, released by Walsh's successor on April 20, revealed that a major Boston police union had threatened to file a grievance on behalf of a former police union president who was the subject of an internal affairs investigation into allegations he sexually assaulted a minor.

Acting Boston mayor Kim Janey, who took office in mid-March after Walsh was confirmed as labor secretary, authorized the release of the documents to the public after Walsh's administration refused to release them. The city released 13 pages of the 105-page internal affairs report. Walsh's administration said that it would never release the files because of concerns for the victim's identity.

"When members of law enforcement violate their sacred duty to protect and serve the community, we have no choice but to expose their misconduct and attempt to rebuild trust," Janey said in a statement. "We are providing as much information to the public as possible about the circumstances surrounding the internal affairs investigation and how leadership at the time responded to the findings."

The White House did not respond to a request for comment on the situation. Both Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris called for Trump to fire then-labor secretary Alexander Acosta, citing his involvement as a federal prosecutor in a federal settlement with convicted millionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Acosta resigned from the Department of Labor after he became embroiled in the underage abuse scandal.

Janey's statement also detailed how officer Patrick Rose was "allowed to have contact with young victims of sexual assault during the course of his career, and we now know that he allegedly went on to assault several other children." Rose was able to return to duty two years after an internal affairs investigation and eventually became head of the police union.

The Boston Police Department referred a request for comment to the Boston mayor's office, which did not respond to a request seeking further comment on the Walsh administration's decision to block the release of the files. Walsh, in a roundtable discussion Tuesday afternoon, did not address a pre-submitted question from the Washington Free Beacon concerning the incident. The Department of Labor also did not return a message seeking comment.

The Boston Globe reported that the paper attempted to obtain the records relating to Rose's case in October 2020. Walsh's administration refused to release the files, citing a law protecting the identities of victims of sexual violence. In a March 5 letter to the Globe, a Walsh spokesman said the records could not be sufficiently redacted and the records would never be released. A city records official had asked Walsh's administration for a fuller explanation of why it refused to release the files.

Janey's reversal came less than one month after Walsh was confirmed as Labor Department secretary.

Senior DOJ Officials Reportedly Greenlighted Non-Prosecution Deal for Epstein in 2000s

In July 2019, Epstein was arrested on sex trafficking charges and put in a New York City jail to await trial. Just a month later, he was found dead in his prison cell, with the authorities concluding that the 66-year-old had committed suicide.

In the early 2000s, then-senior US Department of Justice (DOJ) officials certified a non-prosecution agreement on Jeffrey Epstein to spare him of federal sex-trafficking charges at the time, according to court documents disclosed on Thursday. The White House and the DOJ have yet to comment on the matter.

The documents were made public by attorneys for Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's former associate, who was arrested by the FBI in July 2020, on charges of playing a role in the "sexual exploitation and abuse of multiple minor girls" by the convicted paedophile who was found dead in his New York jail cell in August 2019.

The court filing contains a copy of the deal that was inked by then-Florida federal prosecutor Alexander Acosta. The document details how the "atypical" agreement which kept Epstein from facing federal prosecution was agreed upon.

Maxwell's lawyers argued that the deal was "heavily negotiated over approximately eight months" and was approved by "senior levels of Main Justice in Washington, DC".
Epstein Fund Pulls the Plug on Compensations

In a separate development, the Epstein Victims' Compensation Programme (VCP) announced that it will stop offering payouts to the late convicted paedophile's accusers through at least 25 March.

The fund cited uncertainty about the liquidity of the Epstein estate assets needed to finance payouts.

VCP administrator Jordana Feldman said in a statement that she regrets a pause in payouts as she underscored the necessity of protecting the rights of Epstein accusers whose claims have yet to be resolved.

"Issuing a compensation offer that cannot be timely and fully funded and paid, consistent with the way the [Epstein Victims' Compensation] Programme has operated to date, would compromise claimants' interests and the guiding principles of the programme", Feldman said in a statement.

In May 2020, the disgraced finacier's accusers along with Epstein's estate and US Virgin Islands Attorney General Denise Attorney reached a deal to compensate more than 100 victims who claim to have been subjected to the financier's dirty sexual practices.

Media reports claimed that about $49.8 million had already been transferred to an unspecified number of women through the VCP "from June to 31 December 2020 onwards".

Key takeaways from the Justice Department review of Jeffrey Epstein sweetheart deal

Victims' rights lawyers who have been battling the U.S. Department of Justice for a dozen years over the controversial "sweetheart deal" reached by federal prosecutors in Florida with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein are blasting the department's long-awaited review of the deal as "offensive" and a "whitewash."

"I think, frankly, what we got was an effort to paper over what happened," said Paul Cassell, a former federal judge who now represents Epstein accusers. "I think they're trying to put the most favorable light on what's clearly misconduct on the part of their attorneys."

A 350-page report from the DOJ's Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR), which was made public Thursday, determined none of the five federal prosecutors who were deeply involved in the Epstein investigation committed professional misconduct or violated any clear and unambiguous rules when they reached the deal without informing or consulting with victims.

Instead, the OPR report faulted former Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta, then the U.S. Attorney in Miami, for exhibiting "poor judgment" in deciding to resolve the Epstein case through a non-prosecution agreement and in failing to make certain the alleged victims were notified in advance of Epstein's guilty plea in state court that ended the federal investigation.

"They just say he used poor judgment, and that's their way of basically letting everyone off the hook while offering some sort of an olive branch to the victims that we acknowledge weren't treated perfectly," said Brad Edwards, who sued the DOJ in 2008 on behalf of Epstein accusers, seeking to invalidate the once-secret deal. "But nobody really did anything wrong. It's really offensive. It's hurtful."

Jena-Lisa Jones, who has alleged Epstein sexually abused her when she was just 14, called the Justice Department's conclusions "like another slap in the face" to victims.

"Poor judgment is cheating on a spelling test or speeding five miles over the speed limit. That would be poor judgment to me," Jones said after attending a four-hour government briefing on the report's findings at the FBI office in Miami. "I honestly don't think that anybody will take responsibility in any sense, in any shape or form in the way that they actually should as adults."

The OPR report, which took 22 months to complete, is not likely to be the last word on the Florida prosecutors' treatment of Epstein, who was arrested last year by federal authorities in New York and then died while in custody in a Manhattan detention center.

Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., who requested the department review after the Miami Herald's in-depth reports on the Epstein case were published in late 2018, harshly criticized OPR's conclusions and vowed to keep investigating what he labeled a "disgusting failure."

"OPR might have finished its report, but we have an obligation to make sure this never happens again," Sasse said in a statement.

Q Research General #14879: Kraken Skulls Edition

The FBI was ready to arrest Jeffrey Epstein in 2007 while he was judging a beauty pageant in the U.S. Virgin Islands, but missed out on the chance to nab the serial sexual predator because the federal prosecutor on the case wanted to "take his time."
A few months later, that prosecutor secretly offered Epstein a now-infamous sweetheart deal that kept him out of federal prison and allowed him to serve just 13 months in a jail, with weekend releases.
The details of the decision were described in a report released by the Department of Justice which found the prosecutor, then-U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta, exercised "poor judgement" but did not engage in professional misconduct. The feds on Thursday shared the results of the probe with a room full of Epstein's accusers, leaving some of them "emotional."
The missed opportunity in the Virgin Islands left the FBI's supervisory special agent "extremely upset."
It also irked Marie Villafaña, who was the lead prosecutor in the Florida investigation of Epstein. She had "intended to file charges by May 15, 2007 and the FBI planned to arrest Epstein immediately thereafter," Fox News reported. But Villafaña was unable to get authorization from Acosta for an indictment.
Villafaña wanted Epstein to face as much as 210 months - or 17-and-a-half years - behind bars.
Two weeks after submitting the prosecution memorandum, on May 14, Villafaña sent out an email that said Epstein was flying to New Jersey from the Virgin Islands. When she asked if she could file charges the next day, she was told "No," because Acosta wanted "to take his time making sure he is comfortable before proceeding."
Villafaña said she could not get her supervisors to understand "the seriousness of Epstein's behavior and the fact that he was probably continuing to commit the behavior, and that there was a need to move with necessary speed."
Two months later, Acosta offered Epstein the two-year state plea. Epstein pleaded guilty under a non-prosecution agreement in 2008 negotiated by Acosta.
Around the same time, the financier served as a "key federal witness" against to hedge fund managers from the now defunct Bear Stearns investment bank.
Acosta was made U.S. Labor Secretary by President Trump in 2017 and resigned amid questions over the 2008 plea deal after Epstein was arrested again in July 2019 on sex-trafficking charges.
Epstein was found hanged in his cell in the Manhattan Correctional Center in Lower Manhattan a month later.

I was watching the documentary on Epstein and something really struck me about Alexander Acosta and his appointment to the Trump administration. As soon as he was appointed the FBI began taking the case against Epstein serious because they saw an opportunity to take a shot at Trump by hammering his appointment of the guy that gave Epstein a sweetheart deal in Florida.

Senator Democrat Tim Kaine of Virginia and others all of a sudden became interested in the case because they saw it as an opportunity to get Trump. The FBI then got interested.

This is how Trump got them to go after Epstein, using Acosta as red meat bait.

Court orders Wexner documents unsealed in Jeffrey Epstein-related case against Dershowitz

A federal judge has ordered the unsealing and release of correspondences from attorneys for celebrity lawyer Alan Dershowitz and retail magnate Leslie Wexner, who developed Victoria's Secret into a worldwide brand, in a defamation case that is likely to reveal more about the secretive life of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska ruled Monday that there was no cause to conceal the legal requests and responses and set an Aug. 17 date for a hearing on whether Wexner can be forced to testify in a defamation case involving one of Epstein's victims, Virginia Roberts Giuffre. Preska wrote that she saw "no reason for that correspondence to remain under seal," and told the parties to file their respective letters on the public docket, which happened Monday afternoon. The documents show that Dershowitz alleges that Giuffre - who is suing him for defamation - is trying to extort money from him because of his relationship as a longtime friend to and lawyer for Epstein. And Dershowitz wants Wexner and his attorney John Zeiger to testify that they had privately settled a similar claim threatened by Giuffre.

Dershowitz, who is countersuing Giuffre, was not only friends with Epstein, but as his lawyer was instrumental in negotiating a non-prosecution agreement more than a decade ago that absolved Epstein, his close associates and unnamed others of potential federal charges of sex trafficking. The deal, blessed by then-U.S. Attorney for Southern Florida Alexander Acosta, proved highly controversial, and last year the U.S. attorney for Southern New York ignored it as he filed sex trafficking charges against the multimillionaire. Epstein was found dead by hanging in his jail cell as he awaited trial, scuttling efforts by the feds to have him implicate other prominent men. In a June 23 letter to the judge, attorneys for Dershowitz noted they had served subpoenas in June on Wexner and Zeiger, and asked Preska to compel them to provide for "the production of a small number of documents directly relevant to the central allegation in this case that Plaintiff [Giuffre] falsely accused Professor Dershowitz of sexual abuse as part of a scheme to extort Wexner." Giuffre is the most prominent of the numerous women alleging sexual abuse while underage at the hands of Epstein. She says she was lured to Epstein by British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, who was arrested on July 2, and forced into sexual servitude over a four-year-period, coerced into sleeping with powerful men, including Britain's Prince Andrew and Dershowitz. Both men deny the claim.

In her response, Giuffre argued through a lawyer that Dershowitz has made the false allegation against her and for that reason she too wants to ask questions of Wexner. "Defendant has put Leslie Wexner at the heart of his false and defamatory claims that Plaintiff and her counsel were engaged in an extortion plot to extract money from wealthy associates of Jeffrey Epstein by allegedly falsely naming the Defendant," Charles J. Cooper, attorney with the firm Cooper & Kirk, which represents Giuffre in the defamation case, wrote in a July 28 letter to Preska. Giuffre's attorney zeroed in on the Dershowitz claim that Wexner was framed for financial reasons. "For this reason, Plaintiff was likewise planning on seeking relevant documents and testimony from Mr. Wexner and Mr. Zeiger. Plaintiff, therefore, respectfully requests that the Court allow these depositions to proceed," he wrote.

Wexner, now 83 and largely out of public view, is fighting to stay out of this matter. Epstein for a long stretch managed Wexner's personal finances and those of his family charities. At one point, Epstein had broad power-of-attorney over the finances of Wexner, who grew wealthy through groundbreaking retail brands, including The Limited and Victoria's Secret. Dershowitz is asking Judge Preska to compel Wexner to provide information on any correspondence between Wexner or Zeiger with Giuffre and her lawyers, past and present. Through his attorney Zeiger, Wexner said he has no relevant information that could be used in a trial. No correspondence from Zeiger was released by the judge, but Dershowitz's lawyers included a lengthy back-and-forth email chain that showed Wexner would cooperate only if compelled.

Alexander Acosta


The U.S. Secretary of Labor was once the U.S. Attorney for South Florida who executed the deal that spared Epstein serious prison time. According to the Herald, Acosta finalized the notorious non-prosecution agreement with Epstein following a breakfast meeting in October 2007 with former colleague Jay Lefkowitz, a Washington D.C. lawyer on Epstein's all-star legal team. This past February, a federal judge ruled Acosta and other prosecutors broke the law in 2008 by concealing the deal from Epstein's alleged victims. But as the Washington Post reported, Acosta has defended the non-prosecution agreement as ensuring some level of accountability for Epstein, and on June 25, the Department of Justice announced it would not void Epstein's non-prosecution deal. After Epstein's latest arrest, Acosta decided to weigh in on Twitter. "The crimes committed by Epstein are horrific, and I am pleased that NY prosecutors are moving forward with a case based on new evidence," he said

Jeff Epstein, the Maxwell Sisters and the FBI's Counter-Terrorism Database

https://www.mockingbirdpaper.com/content/jeff-epstein-maxwell-sisters-and-fbis-counter-terrorism-database

Jeff Epstein could not have raped as many children as he did without the help, grooming and participation of Ghislane Maxwell. His buddy, Prince Andrew could not have made it back into high society limelight despite being of the blood without the media intervention of Ghislane Maxwell, as we have documented. Epstein would owes his society access to Maxwell and to his friendship with Columbus billionaire Les Wexner, which gave him access to the world of high fashion through Victoria's Secret. His first arrest and sweetheart plea bargin from then US Attorney and now former Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta lead Acosta to say during his vetting for the latter job that Epstein was "intelligence… leave him alone."

Epstein, like any other intelligence asset, would have to have had a handler. That handler is likely to have been his girlfriend and procurer Ghislaine Maxwell. Ghislaine Maxwell's father, Lord Robert Maxwell, was an asset to both British and Israeli intelligence, going so far as to smuggle arms for the latter with the blessing of the former. While the camera loves Ghislaine, little ink has been spilled on her sister Christine Maxwell and her connections to both Epstein and the American intelligence community.

Christine Maxwell was an early internet pioneer. In 1993 she launched a Magellan, one of the first search engines on the world wide web Internet content. Magellan was acquired by competing search engine Excite in 1996 at a considerable profit to the initial investors and a boon to Maxwell who began her working career in publishing like her father. She re-invested in big data search technologies co-founding a company called Chiliad.

Chiliad makes use of on-demand, massively scalable, intelligent mining of structured and unstructured data through the use of natural language search technologies. The firm's software was behind the data search technology used by the FBI's counter terrorism data warehouse. They made their big breakthrough into government contracting just as Jeffery Epstein was getting into his first legal trouble in 2008.

>>9538513 Jeffrey Epstein Case Judge Has Ties to Cops Who Want to Keep Records Secret
notable

Judge Krista Marx did not disclose any potential conflicts of interest when ruling not to release grand jury records related to disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, despite having connections to those involved in the case.

Epstein was first investigated in 2005 by the Palm Beach Police Department after a women alleged her 14-year-old stepdaughter had been taken to Epstein's mansion and paid $300 to strip and massage him. The investigation resulted in the police filing a probable cause affidavit in May 2006, suggesting Epstein be charged with four counts of unlawful sex with minors and one count of sexual abuse.

Former Florida State Attorney Barry Krischer declined to prosecute Epstein on these charges. Instead, he took the unusual step of convening a grand jury-something generally only done in capital cases-and presented evidence from two victims. The grand jury charged Epstein with one count of felony solicitation of prostitution.

Marx is the Chief Judge in the 15th Judicial Circuit of Florida in Palm Beach, Florida. Marx was formerly employed by Krischer. In addition, Marx's daughter works as an assistant state attorney for current State Attorney Dave Aronberg, while her son is a sheriff's deputy under Sheriff Ric Bradshaw, according to information uncovered by the Miami Herald's Julie K. Brown. Brown has written a number of articles for the Herald exposing Epstein.

Aronberg, along with county clerk Sharon Bock, was sued by The Palm Beach Post to release the grand jury records. Marx dismissed the case Wednesday without disclosing that she had any connection to the defendant.

In January, after Florida Governor Ron DeSantis ordered an investigation into why Krischer decided not to prosecute Epstein-or even speak to Epstein's accusers or their parents, according to The Palm Beach Post-and why Bradshaw allegedly allowed Epstein to have sex with women while in sheriff's custody, Marx also refused to unseal the records, characterizing the request as a "fishing expedition."

A "fishing expedition" is legal slang for when a prosecutor makes a non-specific search for information by calling for all the documents related to a case. Though the tactic is legal, it is often seen as an attempt by prosecutors to bolster a weak case by combing through mountains of information to look for anything incriminating.

When confronted by the Herald about Brown's findings, Marx declined to comment.

"A judge is prohibited from commenting on open cases. It is a clear rule of the judicial canons," Marx said.

Newsweek reached out to the ACLU for comment. This story will be updated with any response.

After the 2005 investigation and the 2006 grand jury, the FBI began investigating Epstein, filing a 53-page indictment in June 2007. Alexander Acosta, then a South Florida U.S. attorney, offered Epstein a controversial plea deal, which granted immunity from all federal charges to Epstein as well as four co-conspirators named in the indictment as well as any unnamed "potential co-conspirators." In return, Epstein was convicted as a sex offender and given an 18-month prison sentence, but only served 13 months with the ability to leave daily for work.

Netflix docuseries soft-pedals Clinton ties to Jeffrey Epstein

'Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich' is co-produced by ex-president's writing partner James Patterson.

Netflix's Democratic ties run deep, from its litany of left-leaning content to its highest profile board member, former Obama National Security Advisor Susan Rice.

That doesn't count the streaming platform's megadeal with Barack and Michelle Obama.

Netflix's newest original program, "Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich," appears to intensify that tilt, downplaying former President Bill Clinton's murky ties to the late financier and convicted sex offender's inner circle.

The four-part docuseries was co-produced by author James Patterson's entertainment company. Patterson co-wrote a political thriller with Clinton in 2018, "The President Is Missing." The two are now collaborating on a second thriller, "The President's Daughter," scheduled for publication in June, 2021.

Patterson, who also appears in the docuseries, has called working with Mr. Clinton "a highlight of my career."

"Filthy Rich" lets Epstein's alleged victims share how the late multimillionaire groomed and trafficked them for the gratification of his and others' carnal appetites.

Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre (nee Roberts) says famed attorney Alan Dershowitz and Prince Andrew sexually assaulted her. "Filthy Rich" allows Dershowitz to categorically deny the charges against him on camera. ("I can tell you, categorically, I don't remember meeting her at all," Prince Andrew said in a November television interview, adding, "I've said consistently and frequently that we never had any sort of sexual contact whatsoever.")

Far less is said about Clinton's connections to Epstein. The docuseries repeatedly brings up President Donald Trump's history with Epstein, from pictures of the two together in social settings more than a decade ago to the role Trump's former Labor Secretary, Alexander Acosta, played in Epstein's notorious plea bargain in 2008.

The latter takes up a considerable amount of screen time.

In the fourth episode, we see an MSNBC news clip where Clinton's press secretary downplays their past relationship.

"He's not spoken to Epstein in well over a decade, and he's never been to Little St. James Island, Epstein's Ranch in New Mexico or his residence in Florida," the statement reads.

"Filthy Rich" follows that with a CBS News report showing at least 26 times Clinton flew on what would later be known as the "Lolita Express," Epstein's private jet, from 2001 to 2003. Said jet featured a bed where accusers say sexual assaults took place.

Steve Scully, a former Epstein employee, says he remembers seeing Clinton and Epstein on the latter's island.

Giuffre notes she spotted Clinton as well, although that location isn't made clear in the documentary. She says she didn't see him behave in an improper fashion at the time.

We then see a title card saying, "Former President Bill Clinton denies ever having been to Epstein's private island."

The docuseries also left out the painting of Bill Clinton wearing a blue dress and heels that prominently hung in Epstein's New York City townhouse.

Entertainment Weekly interviewed "Filthy Rich" director Lisa Bryant about the special and its revelations. She reveals she found a second witness who recalled seeing Clinton on the island, but he or she didn't make the series' final cut.

Epstein was arrested on July 6, 2019 for molesting dozens of girls in his mansion in New York, Lolita Express plane, his Virgin Island estate and in Florida. He was indicted on two sex trafficking counts by federal prosecutors in the southern district of New York.
Acosta's negotiated 2008 deal shut down the FBI investigation which had produced 53-page draft indictment involving more than 30 underage girls. Epstein plead guilty to lesser state charges of soliciting women who were labeled prostitutes despite the fact that children cannot be called that.

Q Research General #11069: The Entire World Is Watching Edition

https://www.courthousenews.com/pandemic-wont-slow-fight-over-sealed-jeffrey-epstein-docs/

MANHATTAN (CN) - The federal judge who holds the key to secret records concerning the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein refused Tuesday afternoon to approve a monthlong delay in the case.

Attorneys for people named in the secret batch of files sought the reprieve to extend how long they have to raise objections about public scrutiny after first receiving notice about their involvement.

"At this point, 14 days is certainly adequate," U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska told an attorney for one of those anonymous men during a phone conference, referring to the length of time needed to respond to a notification.

Like many U.S. court proceedings during the coronavirus crisis, today's hearing took place in the form of a telephone conference. As proceedings began, the former chief judge for the Southern District of New York quipped that many have been boosting their Vitamin-C reserves with "quarantinis."

The Second Circuit put Preska at the case's helm last July, long before the novel virus Covid-19 first erupted in China spawning a global pandemic and national emergency.

Her task is to review and potentially unseal files from a lawsuit that Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre brought against the now-deceased financier's ex-associate Ghislaine Maxwell.

Disclosure could prove limited: In January, Preska ruled that only records that formed the basis of court rulings in Giuffre's old lawsuit against Maxwell would be entitled to the presumption of public access. She emphasized, however, that her ruling would not end the case.

"The court is mindful of the fact that there is a great deal of public intrigue surrounding the unsealing of the documents at issue here," Preska wrote. "With that in mind, this court emphasizes that this ruling is a narrow one."

Much of the public's interest in Epstein's case stems from the investigative journalism of the Miami Herald and its reporter Julie Brown, whose series "Perversion of Justice" spurred the resignation of Trump's former Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta. The paper's reporting also reanimated civil litigation from the convicted pedophile's victims and has been credited for Epstein's federal sex-trafficking indictment, whose investigation has outlived its key defendant.

A little more than an hour before today's telephone conference, The Herald signaled it would remain a thorn in the side of Epstein's associates in a memo giving Maxwell's legal team a lesson in press freedom.

"Ms. Maxwell's attack on [The Herald and Brown]'s reporting on this case of significant public interest is wholly unwarranted, and her positions demonstrate her interest in continues to hide from public scrutiny that which has already been sealed for far too long," the paper's attorney Christine Walz wrote. "She further fundamentally mischaracterizes the role of the media in seeking access to court records: The media are not distinguishable from the public; they are the surrogates for the public."

Highlighting the potential for further press scrutiny, Walz took umbrage during today's phone conference with Maxwell's bid to have the language of the notifications emphasize the consequence of the information becoming public.

Judge Preska agreed that the semantic change Maxwell proposed "does sound terribly scary" and was not needed, as the notifications already state that the files would become publicly available.

"Accordingly, the proposed language is denied," Preska said.

When the Second Circuit unsealed an initial tranche of files in August, their release turned up public scrutiny on model scout Jean Luc Brunel, New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, financier Glenn Dubin and former Senator George Mitchell to name a few. Another of these individuals, Britain's Prince Andrew, has been dogged by controversy ever since.

Andrew, who is Queen Elizabeth II's second son, is still reeling from a public-relations disaster that transpired with a BBC interview in November. Federal prosecutors in New York disclosed earlier this month that the prince "completely shut the door on voluntary cooperation," forcing the U.S. Attorneys' office to weigh other options.

Former prosecutors from the district say those measures could include everything from a request under the mutual legal assistance treaty, or MLAT, to an arrest warrant.

Q Research General #10491: Diggin Victoria's Secret [Epstein][Wexner]~Q Edition

FBI Knew of Central Epstein Victim 11 Years before She Testified: 'They Could Have Unravelled the Entire Network'

An alleged victim of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein whose testimony was central to Epstein's 2019 indictment in New York, was known to federal authorities 11 years prior, ABC News reported on Thursday.

The woman, known as "Minor-Victim 1" in the 2019 indictment, was subpoenaed by federal prosecutors in Florida to arrange potential testimony in a 2008 criminal indictment of Epstein. However, before the victim could testify, prosecutors arranged a deal whereby Epstein pleaded guilty to state-level sex crime charges and was sentenced to 18 months in a county jail. The investigation into Epstein was then dropped, and the subpoena withdrawn.

"I certainly think with the FBI's capabilities, even back then, that they could have unraveled the entire network from New York to Paris to New Mexico," Spencer Kuvin, a West Palm Beach attorney who represented several of Epstein's alleged victims in the Florida case in 2008, told ABC.

"The potential was always there. [The government] shut this thing down and pled this thing out before going through and talking to probably more than half of the women that were involved in this whole thing," he continued. "Had they conducted a full investigation and taken their time, this would've been a whole different story."

Federal authorities again contacted "Minor Victim 1" in 2019 to reopen the case against Epstein in New York. The 2019 indictment outlines the woman's testimony in detail, in which she describes being targeted for sexual abuse by Epstein from age 14.

The Florida plea deal was arranged by then-federal prosecutor Alexander Acosta, who went on to become President Trump's secretary of labor in 2017. Although the Trump administration initially defended him, Acosta resigned in July 2019 following criticism of his prior handling of the Epstein case.

Alex Acosta is US Secretary of Labor under Donald Trump. Alex Acosta approved the plea deal with Jeffrey Epstein and then closed the investigation into a large scale sex trafficking network in Florida that was connected with Epstein. Many of Donald Trump's supporters claim Trump is shutting down child trafficking networks yet he employs people who are actually shutting down investigations into underage sex trafficking networks.

Donald Trump with his business associate Tevfik Arif who was previously charged with running a prostitution ring of young Eastern European women including underage girls off Turkish yachts. Arif was later acquitted after the girls were reportedly threatened and refused to testify.

Thousands of illegal immigrant children from Mexico and Latin America have been held in former Walmarts and government facilities under the Trump presidency. A few days after the media reported on Trump holding hundreds of children in former Walmarts Trump had a meeting with the Spanish House of Bourbon and King Felipe VI of Spain. Mexico and most of Latin America was part of the Spanish Empire. The Bourbons and the fascist dictator Franco stole hundreds of thousands of newborns from mothers at hospitals. Franco installed the Bourbons to rule Spain after he caused the civil war. Both the Bourbons and Franco were involved in kidnapping hundreds of thousands of newborns which occurred under their authority at Roman Catholic Spanish hospitals.

Trump with the Italian royal family the House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies and their direct ancestors officially established the Jesuits or Society of Jesus. Trump was Jesuit educated at Fordham. Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump went to Jesuit Georgetown. None of them are Roman Catholic. Paul Manafort went to Jesuit Georgetown. Mick Mulvaney is Trump's White House Chief of Staff and went to Jesuit Georgetown. Trump's former White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly also went to Georgetown. Trump appointed Kirstjen Nielsen as Secretary of Homeland Security and she went to Georgetown.

Trump hired Roy Cohn who worked as an attorney for the mafia bosses John Gotti, Tony Salerno, and Carmine Galante. Trump purchased property for his casino from the mafia hitman Salvatore Testa. The mafia built Atlantic City and launder their criminal profits in casinos. The Merlinos worked on construction at casinos months before Trump purchased them. The Gambino-Genovese owned S&A Concrete were involved in constructing Trump's building in Manhattan.

Trump is connected with Felix Sater who has Russian mafia connections and was arrested in a stock market racket with the Italian Mafia. The Russian Mafia in New York pay tributes to Cosa Nostra through the Lucchese crime family which offer them protection. The Russian billionaire and Communist Aras Agalarov's son Emin Agalarov set up a meeting with the Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya and Trump Jr, Kushner, and Paul Manafort. Aras Agalarov is a Commander in the Italian Order of Merit.

H. R. McMaster, Jim Mattis, Rick Perry, Gina Haspel, Alexander Acosta, John Bolton, Robert O'Brien, Dina Powell, Joseph Schmitz, and Dan Coats have all worked as advisers, directors of agencies, or in Trump's administration and they all also worked with George Walker Bush. The Bush family name derives from the Von dem Bussche family of Germany just as Trump' bloodline is from Bavaria, Germany.

Q Research General #10015 Eyes On Virgina Edition

Virgin Islands allege Jeffrey Epstein trafficked girls as young as 11 as recently as 2018

The allegations, if validated, broaden the scope of Epstein's sexual trafficking, and shed new light on the tactics Epstein used to hide his illicit activities.

Epstein, who was found dead in a Manhattan jail cell last year, allegedly brought girls as young as 11 to his private island, known as Little St. James, and maintained a database to track their availability and movements, the lawsuit said.

Most of the companies were created in 2011 and 2012, soon after Epstein registered as a sex offender in the Virgin Islands following his 2008 guilty plea to prostitution charges in Palm Beach County, the lawsuit said.

That 2008 plea came about after Epstein received a controversial non-prosecution agreement from then-U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta. The deal shelved a federal sex trafficking indictment that could have put Epstein away for life. Instead he served a year in the Palm Beach County stockade, enjoying liberal work release privileges.

The lawsuit adds to the criminal allegations against Epstein, who had been charged by Manhattan prosecutors in July with sexually exploiting dozens of women and girls in New York and Florida. It is the first lawsuit to allege that Epstein continued to commit crimes after 2005.

Q Research General #9413: The Salt Rotation and The Trip Update Edition

Attorney General William Barr Concludes What Happened To Clinton Buddy Jeffrey Epstein

Jeffrey Epsteinwas found dead in his cell not long after he was mysteriously taken off suicide watch, despite a recent attempt to take his own life this past summer. The guards watching him were rent-a-cop level, they falsified prison logs, and had fallen asleep on the job. Shrieks were heard near his cell the day he died. All of this is sketch city and for once, the conspiracy theory crowd was not dismissed. Epstein had ties to some of the most powerful and wealthiest people on the planet, including the Clintons. His private island was reportedly wired for sound; can you say blackmail tapes? And the search warrant executed for his New York residence yielded troves of incriminating evidence to back up the not-so-new allegations that he was a child predator. He was indicted for trafficking underage girls and other sex crimes. He escaped justice in early 2000s thanks to a sweetheart deal he cut with then-U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta, a piece of history that was resurrected by the Miami Herald which reported on Epstein's plea deal which showcased what money and connections can afford you when you get into trouble. This legal arrangement cost Acosta his job as Trump's labor secretary.

The death of Epstein while in federal custody was another low point for the DOJ. Barr was outraged, leading him to order a full review with Inspector General Michael Horowitz joining the effort. Initially, two guards were suspended, and the warden was reassigned. Now, two guards have been arrested (via NPR):

Two correctional officers who were assigned to guard Jeffrey Epstein on the night he died in his cell have been indicted for allegedly ignoring more than 75 mandatory checks on the wealthy financier then fabricating records to cover it up.

Federal authorities charged Michael Thomas and Tova Noel with multiple counts of falsifying records and conspiracy. The two worked as guards at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, a federal facility in Manhattan that is mostly used for defendants awaiting trial.

At a court appearance on Tuesday, Thomas and Noel pleaded not guilty and a judge released each of them on a $100,000 bond.

The indictment provides the first official account of what happened in the hours before Epstein's death.

According to video surveillance footage obtained by prosecutors, Epstein was in his cell unobserved for eight hours before he was found dead. The unit he was in requires that all inmates be accounted for twice an hour.

There were conflicting medical analyses as well. One saying that Epstein had killed himself, another that cast doubton that conclusion due to the wounds around his neck. The latter autopsy was conducted by Epstein's brother who noted the neck injuries were more consistent with homicide than suicide. I mean all of this was just too good to be true. The man potentially had dirt on oodles of people; Epstein also had ties to the British Royal Family. Yet, Attorney General Barr now says that the events that occurred prior to Epstein's death were a disaster, but that the child predator committed suicide (via NYT):

Attorney General William P. Barr said in an interview published on Friday that the death of Jeffrey Epstein, the financier accused of sex trafficking, in a secure federal prison resulted from "a perfect storm of screw-ups," rather than any nefarious act.

Mr. Barr's statement refuted suggestions from members of Mr. Epstein's family that he may have been murdered. His remarks came the same week that two prison guards were criminally charged, accused in an indictment of failing to check on Mr. Epstein every half-hour as they were required to and then lying about it on prison logs.

"I can understand people who immediately - whose minds went to sort of the worst-case scenario, because it was a perfect storm of screw-ups," Mr. Barr said in an interview with The Associated Press as he flew to Montana on Thursday night.

Mr. Epstein's death in August at a federal detention center in Manhattan set off a rash of unfounded conspiracy theories on social media that were picked up and repeated by high-profile figures, including Mayor Bill de Blasio and former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani. No matter their ideology, the refrain of the theories was the same: Something did not add up.

I've tried interneting this information, but haven't had any luck yet. Seems like most search engines are almost entirely manipulated at this point (then again, that's probably always been the case).

"Oh my goodness gracious, the Deep State is darn well scared, and some of its political top participants, I guarantee you, they want Epstein gone. There is no doubt about that. I don't know why the Bureau of Prisons put Epstein in a jail cell with a cop that killed four people and buried them in his back yard. Epstein should have been in solitary confinement under watch. So, whoever made that decision, it was a complete error in judgment, if not intentional. That should not have happened in the first place."
Shipp goes on to point out, "It looks pretty clear to me that the Deep State intelligence Shadow government was involved, and it gets worse…"
"Ghislaine Maxwell, who was Epstein's alleged recruiter for young girls, was the daughter of Robert Maxwell, (Correction: Shipp said John by mistake) who was a known Mossad Agent.
He bilked pension funds to cover losses in his business… He was found dead floating next to his yacht from an alleged heart attack. So, there are some strange connections to the Deep State. U.S. Attorney (and former Labor Secretary) Alexander Acosta would not have said this if it were not true. It is true. There are intelligence connections. Is this a blackmail operation? We know Epstein has a 'black book.' We know Epstein probably has video of massages by young girls of high profile people, including politicians…
. There are going to be some big names that are going to be connected to Epstein and his pedophile child trafficking ring. There is no question about it."

Funny what FakeNews Wikipedia says about Alexander Acosta's reason for resigning:

In April 2017, Alexander Acosta was confirmed as the new Secretary of Labor. In July 2019, Acosta resigned due to a scandal involving his role in the plea deal with Jeffrey Epstein. [20].

Former CIA Spook: "Deep State Wants Epstein Gone"

Former CIA Officer and whistleblower Kevin Shipp says there are big stories with big implications for America that are unfolding now.

One of the biggest earthquakes that is going off will be the high ranking Deep State elite surrounding convicted sex offender Jeffery Epstein. Shipp says,

"Oh my goodness gracious, the Deep State is darn well scared, and some of its political top participants, I guarantee you, they want Epstein gone. There is no doubt about that. I don't know why the Bureau of Prisons put Epstein in a jail cell with a cop that killed four people and buried them in his back yard. Epstein should have been in solitary confinement under watch.

"Ghislaine Maxwell, who was Epstein's alleged recruiter for young girls, was the daughter of Robert Maxwell, (Correction: Shipp said John by mistake) who was a known Mossad Agent.

We know Epstein has a 'black book.' We know Epstein probably has video of massages by young girls of high profile people, including politicians…

. There are going to be some big names that are going to be connected to Epstein and his pedophile child trafficking ring. There is no question about it."

Another huge story unfolding is the investigation into the "hoax" and "witch hunt" of Russian collusion with President Trump that has now been totally disproven. The real story is how traitors in the U.S. government made up a crimes to frame the President, his campaign and his Administration. People high up in the Obama Administration committed massive crimes, only to fail badly in removing Trump from office. Kevin Shipp says,

…for President Trump, "This is a fight to the death. . . . Trump has to win. . . . There is no question about it. They want Donald Trump gone anyway that they can. We know the Shadow Government, including the CIA, and I studied this in detail, were responsible for the assassination of JFK using the Mafia, and that's how far they will go. You are talking trillions of dollars, trillions of dollars they could lose if the President isn't in their pocket. . . . They want him dead, and he is under serious risk right now. . . . He has got to push this forward. He has to win for the Constitution and for his family that might be assassinated."

Yet another big risk, says Shipp, is the global economic system suffering a financial calamity. This includes the U.S. Shipp contends,

"Russia and China are stocking up on gold . . . as they agree to stop using the U.S. dollar and go to the yuan and ruble, which means they will stop recognizing the U.S. dollar. The dollar will lose its value because of that. We have a huge debt, and by 2025, our deficit will be $30 trillion. It is impossible to pay that off. The global deficit is $245 trillion. This thing has got to burst, and it's going to burst…

Donald Trump has come out against the Deep State and Shadow Government in ways I could only dream of. I am a Trump supporter, but what he has got on his hands is a coming catastrophe. You cannot stop the collapse caused by the deficit…

Trump will take some significant action. This is a national security issue, and he can step in and make some changes. This is a huge catastrophe, and Americans are not aware of what is coming . . . and are not ready for a financial calamity."

Early Jeffrey Epstein Accuser Offers Chilling Details from Alleged 1997 Attack

Alicia Arden, who in the 1990s was an aspiring Victoria's Secret model, has come forward alleging sexual assault against Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier who is currently being held in Metropolitan Corrections Center on sex trafficking and sex trafficking conspiracy charges.

Arden met Epstein in 1997 in California, where she was living at the time so she could break into the modeling industry. Epstein identified himself as a model scout for Victoria's Secret and invited Arden to his hotel room at Shutters, a Santa Monica hotel, for a personal tryout, according to a police report that was filed by Arden a week after the incident took place.

When she arrived, Epstein "groped her buttocks against her will" and "told her to undress....while saying, 'Let me manhandle you for a second,'" according to the report. "His weapons were his hands," Arden told the New York Times while recounting the incident.

After filing the police report, Arden told the Associated Press, she never heard anything about the case again. "I'm very distraught about what's going on, now that I hear about these teenage girls," she told the AP, adding that it "could have been stopped." The Santa Monica Police Department has not yet responded to Rolling Stone's request for comment regarding the outcome of the case.

According to the New York Times report, Arden came forward after hearing about Epstein's arrest earlier this month and realizing that Epstein was not a modeling scout for Victoria's Secret, as he claimed to be. He was, however, a close personal friend and money manager for Leslie Wexner, the CEO of L Brands, the company that owns Victoria's Secret and other clothing brands, including the Limited.

In the mid-1990s, around the time that Arden claims she was assaulted by Epstein, two executives at L Brands discovered that Epstein had been approaching young women by purporting to be a Victoria's Secret modeling scout, and told Wexner. While Wexner promised to speak with Epstein, the executives said, it was unclear what, if any, action he actually took against his friend. It wasn't until 2006, after Epstein was charged with multiple counts of molestation and sexual abuse of a minor, that Wexner officially cut ties with him. Though Wexner declined to comment to the Times, an internal letter sent to L Brands employees states that he was "NEVER aware of the illegal activity charged in the indictment."

In addition to Arden's police report, one of the earliest on-the-record allegations against Epstein is from a woman named Maria Farmer, who alleges that in 1996, she and her then-15-year-old sister were sexually abused by Epstein and his former partner Ghislaine Maxwell. In a sworn affidavit filed last April, Farmer said she reported the abuse to the NYPD and the FBI that year, but they did not take action at the time. (FBI documents refer to Farmer being interviewed by the agency in 2006 or 2007, around the time that Epstein faced Florida sexual abuse charges.) Farmer also said in the affidavit that she frequently saw "school-aged" girls entering his New York home, and was told they were auditioning for modeling work.

Epstein was arrested earlier this month at New Jersey's Teterboro Airport. Prosecutors allege that between 2002 and 2005, Epstein sexually abused "dozens" of girls as young as 14 at his homes in Palm Beach and the Upper East Side of Manhattan. A search by federal authorities also yielded "hundreds if not thousands" of what appeared to be pornographic images of young girls on CD-ROMs, which were kept in a locked safe in his Manhattan home.

In 2008, Epstein pleaded guilty to a single charge of solicitation of prostitution of a minor. The charge was the result of a plea deal orchestrated by then-U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta, marking a significant reduction from the 2006 sexual abuse charges against Epstein. (Acosta has since resigned from his position as Labor Secretary following published reports of the details of the plea deal.) As part of the conditions of the plea deal, Epstein was required to register as a sex offender and was sentenced to 13 months in prison, much of which he served on work order release from the comfort of his Palm Beach office.

In the intervening years, Epstein has been dogged by a number of sexual abuse lawsuits alleging that he recruited young women and hired them to work as masseuses, only to force them to undress and engage in sex acts with him at his homes. A 2018 Miami Herald investigation identified more than 80 women who had leveled such allegations against Epstein.

Epstein, who has not responded to multiple Rolling Stone requests for comment, has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him. He is currently awaiting trial at Metropolitan Corrections Center and has been denied bail.

Most comments: Patrick Pizzella replacing Alexander Acosta as Secretary of Labor

CDAN: I'm not so sure the guy acting in the job is any better than the guy who recently quit. The one who is acting in the job used to get money to defend the rights of bar owners to traffic underage girls from the Philippines to US territories. The bar owners would change the age on the passport to make it look as if the girls were legal. They weren't. They were forced to dance naked for men, have sex with men, and in many cases be subjected to violence by the men. The bar owners said they needed to make sure the supply of women didn't stop so they spent a ton of money lobbying. The acting guy was one of those lobbyists.

People Think Epstein Was a Spy for an Intelligence Agency - and They Might Be Right

In the days following the arrest of high-profile financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, mainstream media pundits began asking questions about Epstein's history and which of his high-profile friends might have known about his habit of coercing teenage girls into performing sexual acts.

The late-to-the-party corporate media is finally asking questions that independent and alternative media journalists have been asking all along: Where did Jeffrey Epstein's money come from? Is it true he was an intelligence agent of the U.S. or Israeli government? Did any of his famous friends know about his alleged sex rings and trafficking of young girls from his mansions to his island?

I plan to answer these questions in a series of articles about Epstein, his history, and his friends. Let's start with the claim that Jeffrey Epstein may either be an intelligence asset or work for someone else under the direction of an intelligence agency. A recent report from The Daily Beast has reignited the conversation around the possibility that Epstein is working for intelligence. The report mentions that during his confirmation hearings, recently resigned Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta stated that he was told Epstein was above his pay grade. "I was told Epstein 'belonged to intelligence' and to leave it alone," Acosta said at that time. Is there any truth to this rumor? Is there any credible evidence to suspect the involvement of intelligence agencies? I believe so.

Here are the pieces of the puzzle that I believe illustrate Epstein's connections to an intelligence agency:
Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine Maxwell and The Mossad

It has been widely-reported that Jeffrey Epstein's former girlfriend and secretary, Ghislaine Maxwell, was also his personal procurer of girls to satiate his daily need for masturbating in front of young girls. Maxwell is currently in the spotlight as a result of Epstein's July 8 arrest. What we know for certain is that numerous witnesses describe Maxwell as being integral to Epstein's sex ring operation. It is without a doubt that she is one of the unnamed co-conspirators who were allowed to go free under the 2008 "sweetheart deal" which allowed Epstein to serve a short 13 months in jail, with the freedom to leave for 16 hours a day for "work release." The deal allowed all of the unnamed criminals to go free.

Ghislaine Maxwell's involvement with Epstein is important because her father, Robert Maxwell, has long been suspected of being an undercover agent working for the Israeli Mossad, the national intelligence agency of Israel also known as HaMossad leModi?in uleTafkidim Meyu?adim. Robert Maxwell was a British media mogul, owning a majority share in Israel's second biggest newspaper, Ma'ariv, and invested heavily in Israeli publishing, pharmaceutical and computer firms. It was reported that Maxwell had "become close with Israeli leaders, particularly in the ruling Likud Party, and helped facilitate the immigration of Jews from the Soviet Union".

THE HONEY TRAP ON E 71ST

NEW YORK - I've had many strange experiences in my decades of covering intelligence affairs. These run from being invited to KGB HQ in Moscow, Chinese intelligence in Beijing, US intelligence in Virginia, Libyan intelligence in Tripoli, South African intelligence, and even Albanian intelligence in Tirana.

But none was odder than the day I was invited to lunch in New York City with the by now notorious figure Jeffrey Epstein. The golden boy of Manhattan and Palm Beach society now sits in a grim jail cell accused of having sex with underage girls. He's been doing this in plain view since the early 1990's but, until recently, he seemed bullet-proof.

Soon after I walked into the entrance of Epstein's mansion on E 71st Street, said to be the city's largest private home, a butler asked me, 'would you like an intimate massage, sir, by a pretty young girl?' This offer seemed so out of place and weird to me that I swiftly declined.

More important than indelicacy, as an old observer of intelligence affairs, to me this offer reeked of ye old honey trap, a tactic to ensnare and blackmail people that was old when Babylon was young. A discreet room with massage table, lubricants and, no doubt, cameras stood ready off the main lobby.

I had arrived with Canada's leading lady journalist who was then close to Epstein's sometime girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell and, it was said, procuress - something Maxwell denies. Bizarrely, Maxwell believed that I could get KGB Moscow Center to release satellite photos that showed the murder on his yacht of her father, the press baron Robert Maxwell, who was a well-known double agent for Israel and KGB, and a major criminal.

Also present was the self-promoting lawyer, Alan Dershowitz, who had saved the accused murderer Claus von Bulow, as well as a titan of the New York real estate industry (not Trump) and assorted bigwigs of the city's elite Jewish society. All sang the praises of Israel.

Epstein reportedly had ties to Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Britain's Prince Andrew and repeatedly flew them about in his private jet, aka 'the Lolita Express.' All guests deny any sexual activity. I turned down dinner with Prince Andrew.

Epstein's residence in Manhattan and Palm Beach, both of which I visited, were stocked with young female 'masseuses.' All were working class girls making big money in their spare time. I did not see any interactions between these girls and the guests.

Epstein and Maxwell became too big for their britches. They flaunted their sexual adventures and laughed at New York society. Everyone wondered about the source of Epstein's lavish income but no one knew its origins. He claimed to be an exclusive money manager for a group of secretive millionaires. But the only one identified was billionaire Leslie Wexner, the owner of L Brands and Victoria's Secret. Wexner denied any knowledge of Epstein's alleged crimes.

Besides sexual frolics, Epstein and Maxwell were up to many odd things. The FBI found diamonds, cash and a fake passport when raiding his mansion and documents showing his net worth at $559,120,954.00. The IRS tax people will be eager to review the sources of this income.

It seems likely that political influence was brought to bear on then US attorney Alexander Acosta (he just resigned under fire last week) to make a sweetheart deal with Epstein, who had been charged by Florida with child molestation. Epstein got off with a token, 13-month jail sentence that allowed him to work from his office much of the day.

Were Trump or Clinton involved? How much did they 'party' with Epstein and revel in his fleshmart? There was talk of some sort of 'intelligence' angle to the affaire Epstein that spared him a harsh sentence.

A respected former CIA official, Phil Giraldi has come right out and accused Epstein of being an Israeli agent of influence. Epstein was let off with a slap on the wrist on his first child abuse charge, says Giraldi, because of his powerful Israel connections. To Giraldi and this writer, the Epstein 'massage' operation was a classic intelligence operation designed to blackmail men of influence into doing Israel's bidding. Clinton had reportedly already fallen into this trap years earlier while still president.

Now watch this stinking pile of corruption be hurriedly covered up. Talk about draining the swamp.

Sarah Kellen. She was part of the Epstein Non-prosecution agreement.
She now goes by Sarah Kennsington (Vickers)
She is married to NASCAR dirver Brian Vickers!! these connections go deep and far.

EXCLUSIVE: Jeffrey Epstein's fixer was STILL socializing with the convicted pedophile in 2012 - even after avoiding prosecution and changing her name, dying her hair brown, moving to Hawaii and dating NASCAR racer
- Sarah Kellen worked as Jeffrey Epstein's fixer and during that time allegedly procured underage girls for him to sexually abuse and kept his little black book
- She was seen with the billionaire financier in February 2012 walking with him in Manhattan, deep in conversation before heading to Epstein's $77M townhouse
- Kellen, now 40, was accused of making massage appointments for Epstein and pressuring young girls into not talking to police
- Kellen was given federal immunity under Epstein's non-prosecution agreement in 2007, made with Trump's former Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta
- After avoiding prosecution, Kellen took steps to conceal her sordid past - she went from a blonde to a brunette and re-emerged as Sarah Kensington
- She spent several years in Hawaii and began dating NASCAR driver Brian Vickers in 2012, who she later married and now goes by Sarah Kellen Vickers
- Epstein, 66, was arrested and charged on Saturday with two counts of underage sex trafficking

According to flight logs, Kellen also traveled on Epstein's private jet with former President Bill Clinton on at least 11 flights between 2002 and 2003.
Kellen was given federal immunity under Epstein's non-prosecution agreement in 2007, made with former Miami federal prosecutor and Trump administration Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta - who resigned over the deal on Friday.
Kellen, along with fellow executive assistants, Lesley Groff, Nadia Marcinkova and Adriana Ross, were named in Epstein's 2008 sweetheart deal as 'potential co-conspirators'. She remained fiercely loyal to Epstein after the deal and along with Marcinkova, visited him dozens of times in jail.
In 2010, Kellen was interviewed under oath as part of civil proceedings, along with Epstein's other assistants, about their dealings with the billionaire financier and also asked whether Epstein's close friend, Prince Andrew, was involved with underage girls.
Kellen was asked by a lawyer: 'Would you agree with me that Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein used to share under-aged girls for sexual relations?'
She replied: 'On the instruction of my lawyer, I must invoke my Fifth Amendment privilege.'
Prince Andrew denied any sexual contact with underage girls.
Kellen and her fellow assistants were generously compensated for working for Epstein, where they made themselves available 24/7 and were 'indispensable to his personal and business success', according to a 2005 article in the New York Times.

Marcinkova, 29, is now a pilot and the chief executive of Aviloop, a website selling discounted flying lessons and other deals related to aviation. Kellen, 34, states that she is the owner of SLK Designs, a renovations firm.
However according to public records, both businesses have operated from addresses in a building on East 66th Street in Manhattan majority-owned by Epstein's brother Mark, a wealthy property magnate. Two condominiums in the building sold last year for $2.5m and $1.85m.

Trump to nominate son of late Justice Antonin Scalia for Labor secretary

By Nikki Schwab

July 18, 2019 | 7:35pm | Updated

AP

President Trump said Thursday that he plans to nominate the son of late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia to be the next Labor secretary.

Trump said on Twitter that he will tap Eugene Scalia - a partner at the law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher - to take over at the Department of Labor after the departure of former Secretary Alexander Acosta.

"I am pleased to announce that it is my intention to nominate Gene Scalia as the new Secretary of Labor," he wrote.

"Gene has led a life of great success in the legal and labor field and is highly respected not only as a lawyer, but as a lawyer with great experience working with labor and everyone else."

Scalia has previously served as solicitor at the Department of Labor and at the Department of Justice, as a special assistant to the Attorney General.

Trump added that Scalia "will be a great member" of the administration.

Acosta was forced to resign as Labor secretary last week amid criticism of his handling of a sex trafficking case in Florida involving Jeffrey Epstein.

"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.

The 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.)

Justice Department Sat on Mountain of Epstein Evidence for 10 Years

At the press conference announcing the indictment of Jeffrey Epstein, a reporter asked U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman if new evidence played any role. Berman gave a hat tip to investigative journalists who followed the case after Epstein was handed a sweetheart plea deal when he was prosecuted for sex crimes more than a decade ago.

"We were assisted from some excellent investigative journalism," Berman said.

Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta, who was involved in Epstein's plea deal as a federal prosecutor, referenced "new evidence" in a Twitter message the following day.

"The crimes committed by Epstein are horrific, and I am pleased that NY prosecutors are moving forward with a case based on new evidence," Acosta wrote. "Now that new evidence and additional testimony is available, the NY prosecution offers an important opportunity to more fully bring him to justice."

Perhaps in an effort to control the damage, Acosta conducted a press conference, at which he repeated his claim that "they've brought these charges on new evidence."

"New evidence." An "assist" from journalists. Don't believe it.

The New York prosecutors didn't take action after reading a newspaper article about a game-changing piece of evidence. Compare the 2007 non-prosecution agreement with the new indictment. Both address sex trafficking of children. The Department of Justice (DOJ) has been sitting on mountains of evidence confirming Epstein's abuse of young girls for more than 10 years.

The "assist" was instead a wave of public outrage upon the discovery of how the Justice Department and Florida prosecutors protected a child sex offender with a lenient plea deal, hid the details from the victims and the public, and failed to prosecute the women who helped Epstein find, groom, and exploit children.

What did the Justice Department have on Epstein? The answers can be found in a 2008 lawsuit in which two of Epstein's alleged victims in Doe v. U.S. sued the United States for violating their rights under the federal Crime Victims' Rights Act. In particular, they claimed the government violated their right to confer during the negotiation of the non-prosecution agreement and failed to inform the victims that Epstein's state plea would end the federal case. The victims also claimed the government "violated their right to be treated with fairness" by concealing the non-prosecution agreement.

Judge Kenneth Marra sided with the victims on Feb. 21, ruling that the Justice Department violated the victims' rights under the Crime Victims' Rights Act. The opinion (pdf) set forth the DOJ's conspiracy with Epstein's lawyers to deceive the victims. Some of those who participated in the plea deal at the local level have offered justifications. As the Miami Herald's Julie Brown reported:

"Assistant U.S. Attorney [Marie] Villafaña, in court papers, said that prosecutors used their 'best efforts' to comply with the Crime Victims' Rights Act, but exercised their 'prosecutorial discretion' when they chose not to notify the victims.

"The reasoning went like this: The non-prosecution deal had a restitution clause that provided the girls a chance to seek compensation from Epstein. Had the deal fallen through, necessitating a trial, Epstein's lawyers might have used the prior restitution clause to undermine the girls' credibility as witnesses, by claiming they had exaggerated Epstein's behavior in hopes of cashing in."

These excuses fall flat. The volume of evidence that the DOJ had on Epstein and his criminal enterprise was extensive. For example, privilege logs filed by the prosecutors in the Doe case show they had records covering every part of Epstein's life, including his finances, corporate records, flight logs, and phone calls with conspirators.

Rest of the sauce:

Q Research General #9036: SHADILAY!

The Corrupt System Will Never Police Itself

False hope breeds crippling apathy - This is what I have to think to myself when I see the news media fervor over the second arrest of (alleged) billionaire Jefferey Epstein, or similar events which in most cases end up fading into the background and forgotten. The public's favorite distraction has always been to watch high profile people kicked out of their castles in the clouds, but I would point out that even when the globalists sacrifice one of their own in the public eye it is usually only to satiate the masses and their hunger for justice for a very short time. The system is not designed to root out evil; it is designed to obscure and perpetuate evil.

Epstein is a perfect example of this. He was already prosecuted on pedophilia charges over 12 years ago and received a "sweetheart" plea deal which allowed him to serve a mere 13 month sentence. How many child rapists get that kind of treatment in our court system? And what about the vast array of people (including political leaders) that were close friends and associates with Epstein during his "Lolita Express" days? Are we really to believe they knew nothing about what was going on? That they visited his island and never saw any wrongdoing?

Why didn't they come forward immediately? Why did they wait until Epstein was already being prosecuted before they publicly admonished him? Is it because they were involved in the same activities? And if so, why have they not been prosecuted as well?

My point is, people should lower their expectations that justice will be served or that the "dominoes will fall" in the Epstein case. Also, keep in mind that James Comey's daughter, Maureen Comey, will be on the prosecution team in the case, AND , Donald Trump's Labor Secretary, Alexander Acosta, is the same man who brokered Epstein's immunity deal. Like strands of malignant cancer, these people are wrapped around every facet of government.

But this is not just about Epstein, and as much as I would also like to see the guy hang for his crimes, I have to admit that this latest event is probably nothing more than another piece of theater meant to give the public false hope that the system is changing and that elitist criminals will be treated the same as any other criminal. How often does this ever happen?

How about the Bernie Madoff scandal? Madoff runs a Ponzi scheme that devoured $65 billion in client funds and he is sentenced to 150 years in prison, but JP Morgan, the bank that HELPED Madoff move his stolen money, got nothing more than a fine.

In the wake of the 2008 credit crash and the exposure of the fraudulent derivatives market, many people thought banker heads were going to roll, yet in the US only one banker, a little known executive at Credit Suisse named Kareem Sarageldin, actually served jail time. After admitting to fraud and inflating bond prices associated with mortgage backed securities, Sarageldin was sentenced to 30 months in prison.

The island is Epstein's main place of residence.
In 1998, for $7.95 million, Epstein purchased Little St. James Island, which is situated between the larger St. Thomas and St. John Islands. According to a former staffer who spoke to Bloomberg, before Epstein took a sweetheart deal from former U.S. Attorney and current Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta and pleaded guilty to two counts of soliciting prostitution from a minor in 2008, he would visit the island two to three times a month, and would typically stay a few days.

Since he's been the owner of the 72-acre body of land, Epstein's ordered quite a bit of construction, per Bloomberg: He has carved roads, planted towering palm trees, and built a massive stone mansion, which is surrounded by smaller buildings and a helicopter pad. Though not many details have been reported about the interior of the main residence, a former employee said that Epstein had two offices, which no one but the maid was allowed to enter, where he kept security boxes.

There's also what appears to be a mysterious blue-striped temple. According to Insider, which investigated the structure, it previously featured a gold dome that flew off in 2017 when the hurricanes Irma and Maria devastated the region. While the purpose of the temple is unknown, one possibility is that it had served as a place for the classically trained Epstein to practice piano - workers described it as a music room with acoustic walls and a grand piano inside, as the AP reports.

Conspiracy theorists waged that the temple was either a secluded setting for Epstein's abuse or that it concealed a hidden underground location for the same purpose. James Both, a contractor whom Insider consulted with for the story, noted that while it was possible to install an underground space or elevator, the construction would have most likely been documented by a vendor to ensure regular inspections.

"A simple stairwell would be a better option if someone wanted to conceal their activities at the location." Both also pointed out the temple's questionable wooden door, which features a reinforcing lock bar. "What makes it peculiar is that if you wanted to keep people out, the bar would be placed inside the building, [but the] locking bar appears to be placed on the outside ... as if it were intended to lock people in," he said.

He allegedly ran his trafficking ring there.
According to Fox News, Epstein had a dedicated team of workers on the island who trafficked girls as young as 12 to his clients. Sarah Ransome, one of his alleged victims, said she tried to swim off the island only to be found by a search party that included Epstein and his cohort Ghislaine Maxwell. Ransome also said that they kept her passport so she couldn't leave.

Though the specifics of the visits are unclear, one former employee told Bloomberg that Epstein would fly young women into St. Thomas, whom he would then ferry over to his private island via a boat named "Lady Ghislaine."

Epstein Safe Had 'Piles Of Cash', Diamonds And Expired Passport Claiming Saudi Residency

FBI agents who cracked open a safe in Jeffrey Epstein's Manhattan mansion discovered "piles of cash," dozens of diamonds and an expired passport from the 1980s under a different name that listed his residence as Saudi Arabia, according to the Daily Beast - which notes that it is unclear whether this is the same safe that contained nude or semi-nude photographs believed to be of underage girls. 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," said Assistant US Attorney Alex Rossmiller. It's also a different safe than the one allegedly in an 'off-limits' room on his private island in the Caribbean.

Federal prosecutors revealed the findings during a Monday bail hearing, for which US District Judge Richard Berman said he would announce a ruling on Thursday. Some of Epstein's accusers were present during the courtroom session to oppose his request for release on house arrest pending trial for sex-trafficking underage girls. Both federal prosecutors and a federal probation office have recommended against letting Epstein out on bail, suggesting that he is a flight risk who should remain detained.

Monday's hearing follows a flurry of filings in which Epstein's defense team and federal prosecutors dueled over whether the filthy-rich money manager would go on the lam if he was released. The government argued that Epstein's international connections and wealth-estimated at more than $500 million in a court document-meant it would be easy for him to get beyond the arm of the law. Even if he didn't turn fugitive, prosecutors argued, Epstein has a history of witness-tampering, including wiring $350,000 late last year to two alleged accomplices after the Miami Herald published its expose on his Florida plea deal. -Daily Beast

Epstein's attorneys have offered up a bail package which would allow the registered sex-offender and self-admitted pedophile to hang out at his palacial 21,000 sqft, $77 million 1930s Manhattan mansion while wearing a GPS monitoring device. He would also install surveillance cameras inside and out and deregister his cars and aircraft if released on bail "in an amount set by the court after reviewing additional information regarding Mr. Epstein's finances," according to the Daily Mail. Prosecutors say Epstein's mansion "provides no value whatsoever" as collateral, "because the defendant would thus be likely to lose that property following a conviction."

The government similarly noted that Epstein's offer to put his Gulfstream jet up for collateral is bogus, as the financier "recently sold a second plane and thus presumably has cash on hand to replace the posted aircraft without difficulty if need be."The wealthy financier's lawyers have also argued that he's protected under the terms of a 2008 immunity deal, writing ''In essence, the government seeks to remand a self-made New York native and lifelong American resident based on dated allegations for which he was already convicted and punished - conduct the relitigation of which is barred by a prior federal nonprosecution agreement." The Miami Herald investigation of that plea deal, along with lawsuits by accusers, helped amp up the pressure on Epstein, and the U.S. Attorney in Manhattan launched a new probe, which culminated in an indictment and arrest warrant earlier this month. -Daily Beast

Meanwhile, prosecutors have left the door open to a superseding indictment which could contain more charges - or add alleged accomplices as co-defendants, according to the Beast.

Although the indictment details alleged crimes against just three girls between 2002 and 2005, other accusers have come forward since Epstein's arrest-in New York and New Mexico, where he owns a spread of land called the Zorro Ranch. Epstein also owns a private island in the Caribbean and a lavish estate in Palm Beach, a fleet of cars and a private jet that has hosted former President Bill Clinton, actor Kevin Spacey, Prince Andrew, and lawyer Alan Dershowitz. Two of Epstein's accusers have said in court papers that Dershowitz was aware of and even took part in the sex with minors-which he has vigorously denied. Clinton put out a statement last week distancing himself from Epstein, but failed to mention at least one dinner they attended. -Daily Beast

Epstein's 2008 'sweetheart' deal has already claimed one casualty - former Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta, who was forced to step down last week following national outrage over his actions in the case.

Q Research General #9024: Reality is hard to swallow Edition

I'm sure this has been posted before, so pardons if so

Here's what Jeffrey Epstein's accomplices are doing now
July 10, 2019

Details of Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking in Monday's indictment mirror the accounts of many underage women in Florida, who described several "schedulers" who organized his sex sessions and one young woman, as Epstein's "sex slave," who would participate in the abuse while the billionaire watched.

When prosecutors gave Jeffrey Epstein a plea deal in 2007, they also agreed not to charge four women involved in recruiting dozens of underage girls for abuse.

So where are Epstein's accomplices now?

Take a look:
Sarah Kellen

Sarah Kellen, Epstein's former assistant who kept a Rolodex of young girls to recruit for him, is now married to NASCAR driver Brian Vickers. Along with traveling with her husband, the 39-year-old (who also goes by the name Sarah Kensington) is the owner of an interior-design firm, SLK Designs.

SLK Designs once operated from a building in Midtown Manhattan owned by Epstein's property-manager brother, Mark Epstein. The condominium listed to take SLK Designs deliveries, at 301 E. 66th St., is the same address where Epstein allegedly rented units to house models.


Nadia Marcinkova

Nadia Marcinkova, Epstein's "sex slave" who was accused of participating in sexual encounters with underage girls, is now an FAA-certified commercial pilot and flight instructor. the 33-year-old, who was brought from Yugoslavia to live with Epstein, now goes by the named "Global Girl" on social media and has changed her last name.

"Global Girl (Nadia Marcinko) spent many years in the international marketing and advertising world as an international fashion model and spokesperson, with clients including Chanel, Christian Dior, Valentino, Vogue and MTV. After many successful years in the modeling industry, she was ready for longer runways and became a licensed commercial pilot," her Facebook account says, adding that she is an "FAA certified flight instructor and Gulfstream II, III & IV pilot."
Adriana Ross

Adriana Ross, a former model from Poland who helped organize Jeffrey Epstein's sex sessions, moved to Florida in 2002 and was hired to work at his mansion. Ross, who often went by Adriana Mucinska and is not directly named in Monday's indictment, also frequently flew on Epstein's private jet alongside Bill Clinton, according to flight records.

Ross' current profession or address was not immediately clear and she could not be reached for comment.
Lesley Groff

Lesley Groff was another assistant of Epstein who coordinated travel for young girls, often calling to schedule "massages." Though not directly named in Monday's indictment, the 51-year-old has been previously named as one of Epstein's female assistants. According to a 2005 Chicago Tribune story about executive-assistant pay, Epstein divulged his assistants made about $200,000.

Groff currently lives in Connecticut and did not respond to a request for comment.

In Epstein's controversial 2008 plea deal in Florida-which was granted by then-prosecutor Alexander Acosta and other DOJ attorneys, the four women Sarah Kellen, Adriana Ross, Lesley Groff, and Nadia Marcinkova are named as accomplices in Epstein's non-prosecution agreement, which sentenced him to 18 months in prison, but also granted immunity to those four women and any other "potential co-conspirators," identified in the document.

US Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta is under attack due to his handling of the 2007-2008 child sex trafficking prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein, states that the true facts of this case show it was, in fact, FBI Director Robert Mueller who ordered Epstein freed, not Acosta-most particularly because Epstein was an informant for Mueller-and as further confirmed by British-American investigative reporter Vicky Ward who, revealed that Acosta cut the non-prosecution deal with one of Epstein's attorneys because he had "been told" to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade-and Acosta exactly stating: "I was told Epstein 'belonged to intelligence' and to leave it alone"

Then issues surrounding child sex trafficker Epstein came exposed in early June-2016 after Shahriar Zolfaghari was targeted and assassinated by CIA assassins in Atlanta-GA-a "message killing" meant for his wife Camila Wright who, as Georgia's statewide prosecutor for human trafficking, was preparing to file sex crime charges against both former President Bill Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein-but who afterwards, left office to become the Executive Director of the Georgia Life Alliance and joined President Trump's crusade to save the lives of unborn babies.

In 2016, it was confirmed that Jeffrey Epstein was an OPERATIVE of Israeli intelligence working with both the FBI and CIA in a covert operation designed to capture targeted elites (billionaires/Hollywood celebrities/heads of state/politicians/etc.) on video performing sex acts with minor children for blackmail purposes-the most prominent of whom was former President Bill Clinton whom Epstein filmed raping a 13-year-old girl child.

Q Research General #9007: The Oy Vey Heard Around the Internet Edition

CNN's Cuomo: 'Please Don't Get Caught Up In The Intrigue Of Who Was Better Friends' With Epstein - 'Who Cares?'

host Chris Cuomo begged his viewers to "please" not "get caught up in the intrigue of who was better friends" with Jeffrey Epstein and instead focus on how the case was "handled."

"When we're talking about Epstein, you got to stick to what is common sense on these things, all right?" Cuomo said on his show Wednesday night. "Don't get buried in legalese, don't follow the finger-pointing, and please don't get caught up in the intrigue of who was better friends with this guy. Who cares? Let's take a look at the facts of what we know about how it was handled. Okay? We are going to dissect them with one of the best investigators around. What was done that seems fine and what was fugazi."

Cuomo and CNN analyst Asha Rangappa went on to focus almost entirely on Alexander Acosta and his deal with Epstein, which Cuomo said has to be taken in the context that it was "a different time" back then (it was 2008).

They completely ignored Vicky Ward's bombshell allegation that Acosta told the Trump transition team that "I was told Epstein 'belonged to intelligence' and to leave it alone."

Seeing as how Epstein allegedly wired his houses up with video cameras and microphones to surreptitiously record his high powered clients for possible blackmail purposes, knowing who his friends and associates are is a huge deal, especially considering his connections with at least two U.S. Presidents and one Israeli Prime Minister that we already know of.

Gawker released Epstein's "Little Black Book" in 2015 and it was loaded with power players:

Multiple of Epstein's friends, including his lawyer Alan Dershowitz, have been accused of taking part in his alleged sex crimes (Dershowitz denies the charges but said he got a massage at Epstein's place from an "old, old Russian woman" and he "kept his underwear on").

The real undercurrent of this story is one of a systematic cover-up of potential intelligence agency blackmail. Every lead should be thoroughly investigated rather than covered-up and swept under the rug.

Jeffrey Epstein's New Mexico ranch linked to investigation

At the center of Jeffrey Epstein's secluded New Mexico ranch sits a sprawling residence the financier built decades ago - complete with plans for a 4,000-square-foot (372-square-meter) courtyard, a living room roughly the size of the average American home and a nearby private airplane runway.

Known as the Zorro Ranch, the high-desert property is now tied to an investigation that the state attorney general's office says it has opened into Epstein with plans to forward findings to federal authorities in New York.

Epstein, who pleaded not guilty this week to federal sex trafficking charges in New York, has not faced criminal charges in New Mexico. But the scandal surrounding him has still sent a jolt through the rural southwestern state as it comes under scrutiny for laws that allowed him to avoid registering as a sex offender following a guilty plea a decade ago in Florida.

"New Mexico continues to lag behind the rest of the country in strengthening outdated and weak laws that fail to protect our children from abuse," New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas said in an emailed statement to The Associated Press. "This is a huge black eye for our state."

In addition to confirming his office had interviewed possible victims of Epstein who visited his ranch south of Santa Fe, Balderas' spokesman also said Friday that the attorney general would renew his push for legislation requiring anyone with a sex trafficking conviction to register as a sex offender in New Mexico.

In 2008, Epstein pleaded guilty in Florida to state charges of soliciting a minor for prostitution under an agreement that required him to spend 13 months in jail and register as a sex offender. The agreement has been widely criticized for secretly ending a federal sex abuse investigation involving at least 40 teenage girls at the time that could have landed him behind bars for life.

Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta said Friday he's stepping down amid the tumult over his handling of the 2008 deal with Epstein. Acosta was the U.S. attorney in Miami when he oversaw the non-prosecution agreement.

The indictment filed in New York this week accuses Epstein of paying girls hundreds of dollars in cash for massages and then molesting them at his homes in Palm Beach, Florida, and New York from 2002 through 2005. The charges carry the potential for up to 45 years in prison.

In New Mexico, the attorney general said he has been in touch with the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of New York. Balderas' office has not said, however, how many accusers his office has interviewed and he has not elaborated on what they say took place at the ranch.

In a 2015 court filing in Florida, a plaintiff in a lawsuit against Epstein said she had been abused at several locations, including the New Mexico property.

Records show Epstein purchased the ranch, valued by county officials at over $12 million, from the family of former Gov. Bruce King, who died 10 years ago. A 1995 Santa Fe New Mexican story about his plans to build a mansion on the property said the home would be 26,700 square feet (2,480 square meters) with a 2,100-square-foot (195-square-meter) living room.

Aerial images of the property show an airplane hangar and landing strip. Closer to the east edge of the property, several structures that appear to serve as small homes and stables stand in public view.

The King family still owns land surrounding much of Epstein's ranch near the town of Stanley, a rural outpost on the plains that stretch east of the Sandia Mountains.

Gary King, the son of the former governor, was the state attorney general from 2007 to 2015, and was among a handful of candidates in the state who returned Epstein campaign donations.

King had received $15,000 from Epstein in 2006 during his first-bid for attorney general, and then received $35,000 from firms linked to Epstein in 2014.

Former Gov. Bill Richardson donated $50,000 in 2006 gubernatorial campaign contributions from Epstein to charity.

In neighboring Arizona, Epstein donated $50,000 to the University of Arizona in 2017, the Arizona Republic newspaper reported Saturday.

Epstein gave the money to the university through his foundation Gratitude America Ltd., the Republic and the Daily Beast website reported. The money was designated for a 2017 Science of Consciousness conference, the Daily Beast reported.

The university didn't know of Epstein's involvement in the foundation, Pam Scott, the university's associate vice president of external communications, told the Republic. The university does not plan to return the donation, Scott said.

What you say makes sense and would explain the true role of Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta. Here's my theory…

Dems were already crazed because our guys chummed the water with the fake DJT JE rumors so when the Acosta story broke they grabbed, swallowed hard and set off to expose Acosta and damage trump.

Q Research General #8991: As Epstein goes down, DC panics

>>7027342
>>7027342





THE 1st SWAMP DAM HAS JUST BURST!!!

This SHREDS A WHOLE NEW LIGHT TO WHATS GOING ON! MUELLER IS EPSTEINs CIA/FBI SECRET HANDLER - to Film as many PEDOs of Elite - For "CONTROL" OF HIS POWER OVER THEM! ITS MUELLER!!!!

Seems that Mueller may have CRIMINALLY assigned Epstein as a FBI/CIA Israeli Operative to SETUP the Rich/Elite (DC, Hollywood, UK, worldwide CEOs, etc) USING CHILDREN AND HOLD BLACKMAIL OVER THEM as he VIDEO TAPED THEM ALL! This then gave ROBERT MUELLER FULL POWER OVER EVERYONE FOR HIS EVIL SATANIC RULE TO CONTROL THE WORLD!

So "whos" behind the OZ Curtian MUELLER is doing this for?

US Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta is under attack due to his handling of the 2007-2008 child sex trafficking prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein, states that the true facts of this case show it was, in fact, FBI Director Robert Mueller who ordered Epstein freed, not Acosta-most particularly because Epstein was an informant for Mueller-and as further confirmed by British-American investigative reporter Vicky Ward who, revealed that Acosta cut the non-prosecution deal with one of Epstein's attorneys because he had "been told" to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade-and Acosta exactly stating: "I was told Epstein 'belonged to intelligence' and to leave it alone"

Then issues surrounding child sex trafficker Epstein came exposed in early June-2016 after Shahriar Zolfaghari was targeted and assassinated by CIA assassins in Atlanta-GA-a "message killing" meant for his wife Camila Wright who, as Georgia's statewide prosecutor for human trafficking, was preparing to file sex crime charges against both former President Bill Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein-but who afterwards, left office to become the Executive Director of the Georgia Life Alliance and joined President Trump's crusade to save the lives of unborn babies.

In 2016, it was confirmed that Jeffrey Epstein was an OPERATIVE of Israeli intelligence working with both the FBI and CIA in a covert operation designed to capture targeted elites (billionaires/Hollywood celebrities/heads of state/politicians/etc.) on video performing sex acts with minor children for blackmail purposes-the most prominent of whom was former President Bill Clinton whom Epstein filmed raping a 13-year-old girl child.

Say a silent thanks, prayer, or blessing for this. CTDB

Q Research General #8987: Notable Bun Shaker! Dust Settles on Infinite and Notables Win! Edition

>>7024345

Chuck Schumer took in quite a bit of money in donations from Epstein.

Furthermore we've learned Trump banned Epstein from Mar-a-Largo, unlike William Jefferson Clinton who took numerous flights with Epstein. TWENTY-SIX TIMES BILL.

Don't forget about Harvey Weinstein.

Schumer got thousands in donations from Jeffrey Epstein

Sen. Chuck Schumer - who called on Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta to resign and said President Trump should "answer" for his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein - accepted thousands of dollars in donations from the alleged pedophile throughout the 1990s, The Post has learned.

Federal Election Commission records show that Schumer received seven $1,000 donations from Epstein between 1992 and 1997, first as a US congressman from New York and then when he was vying to be the state's senator in 1998, an election he won.

Epstein - who was arrested Saturday and charged with sex trafficking and a related conspiracy count for allegedly sexually abusing a vast network of underage girls - also gave $10,000 to Victory in New York, a joint fundraising committee established by Schumer and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

Epstein gave an additional $5,000 to Win New York, a Schumer-associated joint committee that benefited the Liberal Party of New York state.

Both of Epstein's donations to the committees came in October 1998 - and look to have primarily benefited the DSCC and the Liberal Party of New York, as Epstein would have already met the $2,000 limit on donating individually to Schumer.

At the time, donors could give $1,000 to a candidate per election - once in the primary and again in the general.

That means Schumer and Schumer-linked entities received a combined $22,000.

Schumer spokesman Angelo Roefaro responded, "While these campaign accounts closed about 20 years ago, and even then the campaign never controlled the two political action committees (PACs), Senator Schumer is donating an equal sum to anti-sex trafficking and anti-violence against women groups."

The top Senate Democrat previously donated $14,200 - the amount donated to his campaigns by accused sexual predator Harvey Weinstein - to several charities supporting women.

On the Senate floor Tuesday, Schumer made three Epstein-related demands.

He first called on Acosta to resign.

Acosta, the former US attorney in Miami, was responsible for inking a plea deal with Epstein that victims weren't informed of, according to an expose in the Miami Herald.

While Epstein was accused of molesting dozens of teenage girls at his Palm Beach estate, he served just 13 months in prison, much of it out on work release.

"Instead of prosecuting a predator and serial sex trafficker of children, Acosta chose to let him off easy," Schumer said on the floor. "This is not acceptable. We cannot have, as one of the leading appointed officials in America, someone who has done this."

Schumer also asked that the Department of Justice's Office of Professional Responsibility make public its review of Acosta's handling of the case.

Finally, Schumer said Trump should paint a fuller picture of what he meant when he called Epstein a "terrific guy" in a 2002 article for New York Magazine.

Epstein was arrested this week and charged with trafficking dozens of minors between 2002 and 2005 in New York and Florida.

An April 2011 court filing shows that Trump eventually barred Epstein from Mar-a-Lago "because Epstein sexually assaulted a girl at the club," the documents allege.

Trump didn't officially launch a political career until June 2015. No FEC records show that Epstein was ever a Trump donor.

Exclusive: Investigation, Trump, Acosta - Epstein Pedophile Plea Deal
By Gordon Duff, Senior Editor - March 19, 2017105054


By Ann Diener for Veterans Today

Flash Back: Department of Labor Secretary Pick, R. Alexander Acosta, was been pressured by attorneys to keep victims in the dark about a plea deal which has implications for US National Security due to the lack of investigation of potential criminal underage sex-blackmail of prominent US and international public officials and celebrities.


R. Alexander Acosta
The hearing for Cabinet Labor Secretary nominee R. Alexander Acosta has been rescheduled for March 22. Why is this hearing significant? For one, his involvement in the potential cover-up of sex-blackmail of officials, which apparently resulted in him and other responsible persons turning a blind eye to multiple crimes due to pressure from attorneys of the alleged perpetrator, whose potential accomplices escaped prosecution.

It seems odd that no one has even been questioned about the National Security implications of what appears to be potential blackmail of powerful and influential people involving sex crimes with underage girls at Jeffrey Epstein's properties.

What sorts of decisions could have been influenced and altered using blackmail operating in the background? Election recounts? Foreign policy and economic decisions? Decisions promoting war and oil? Even now, governmental budgets, regulations, and the very air we breathe and water we drink?

It comes as no surprise that President Donald "Trump picked former Bush administration prosecutor R. Alexander Acosta Feb. 16 to lead the Labor Department despite his multiple legal controversies involving sex predators, corrupt bankers and billionaire tax cheats. Their crimes largely escaped prosecution from Acosta and his law enforcement colleagues. Most dramatic was Acosta's confidential plea agreement in 2008 not to prosecute Epstein for operating what police described as massive sex trafficking ring that allegedly involved Trump in the rape of a 13-year-old in 1994, according to a recent lawsuit withdrawn last year," said Andrew Kreig of the Justice Integrity Project.
The document which is found here details the alleged rape of "Jane Doe" at the then New York home of Leslie Wexner which was allegedly used for parties by Epstein who's alleged guest Donald Trump with Epstein raped her when she was 13 years old.
A recent video appeared online recently identifying the victim in the California complaint as Katie Johnson who told more of her story here:

Q Research General #8974: Dig Anons! It's coming no matter what! Edition

https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/in-the-know/452817-john-lithgow-release-poem-on-the-downfall-of-Acosta

Alexander Acosta was doing just fine,
In his comfortable Cabinet post.
Lucky for him, the Department of Labor
Got much less attention than most."

Lithgow - a frequent critic of Trump - continues:

"But a 10-year-old story leaked out from his past,
And yanked him from placid obscurity.
His name was attached to a sickening scandal,
That shook his serene job security.
The law had caught up with a Palm Beach roué,
A man of luxurious means.
Charged with trafficking, pimping, procuring and rape,
Of dozens of underage teens."

The Tony Award winner - who recently played former President Bill Clinton in Broadway's "Hillary and Clinton" - goes on:

"The perp, Jeffrey Epstein, deserved to be crushed
By Justice's ruthless iron fist.
But the priciest lawyers that money could buy,
Got him off with a slap on the wrist."

He concludes the poem:

"We are living, alas, in the Dumptyan era,
Where scandals erupt by the hour.
They stir a recurring and queasy sensation
A virus, infecting the health of the nation,
Brought on by a toxic and foul combination
Of money, perversion and power."

***

I like how the harder celebrities try to push the narrative, the moar exposed they become. This is all just one, giant, chinese finger trap and the stupid fucks can't help themselves.

Trump says Labor Secretary Acosta resigning amid Epstein case

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta has resigned, believing that he has become a distraction to the administration because of his handling of the sex abuse case against financier Jeffrey Epstein a decade ago. Acosta joined Trump on the White House lawn as the president announced the resignation, which he said was Acosta's idea. "Alex called me this morning and wanted to see me," President Trump told reporters as he was leaving the White House on a trip to Wisconsin. "I just want to let you know this is him, not me." While Trump praised him as a "great, great" labor secretary, Acosta said it would be "selfish" for him to stay in the job. "As I look forward, I do not think it is right and fair for this administration's Labor Department to have Epstein as a focus rather than the incredible economy we have today," Acosta said. He said his resignation would be effective in seven days.

Trump named Deputy Labor Secretary Patrick Pizzella as the acting secretary of Labor. Acosta has served in Trump's Cabinet since April 2017 and from 2005 through 2009 was the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida. It was there that he handled Epstein's first case involving sex with girls, which resulted in a punishment that critics say was far too lenient.

Epstein, a billionaire hedge fund manager, pleaded not guilty to new federal charges in New York this week. Epstein had a social circle that over the years has included Trump, former President Bill Clinton and Britain's Prince Andrew. Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic speaker of the House of Representatives, and Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer had called on Tuesday for Acosta to resign.

Q Research General #8972: What are the odds of that? Edition

n 2002 Trump was interviewed for a profile on Epstein, here's what he had to say:

"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."[2]

If in 2002 Trump acknowledged Epstein's inclination toward young women while calling him a great guy, how are we to believe that those very same actions revolt him today? Oddly enough, one of the girls recruited by Ghislaine Maxwell was a towel girl from Mar-a-Lago named Virginia Roberts.[6] It just so happens Epstein's West Palm mansion is only a few blocks away from President Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort.[7]

The case against Epstein was strong-numerous girls with corraborating testimonies, enough to put him away for life. Fortunately for Epstein a US attorney in Miami named Alex𝐚nder Acost𝐚 was willing to negotiate an [illegal] immunity deal for Epstein and unnamed co-conspirators. Alexander Acosta is currently under investigation by the Justice Department for his role in that deal and is currently our Secretary of Labor, one of the 16 members of the Presidents cabinet.

Even Laura Ingrham has realished Dersh is a total pedo douche…

It's falling apart quick Qew. Unless you have some miracle up under yer yamulka <sic>
Trumps got 6 months left tops…

Acosta resignation puts veteran bureaucrat Patrick Pizzella in charge of labor

Patrick Pizzella, a veteran of several past Republican and Democratic presidential administrations, will take over as acting secretary of labor following the abrupt departure of Alexander Acosta Friday following controversy surrounding a plea deal he arranged for sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein in 2008. Pizzella has served deputy secretary for just over a year. President Trump said Friday that Pizzella "will do the job. Highly recommended by Alex. Going to be acting. He's already been told."

A 65-year-old New York native, Pizzella was confirmed to the number two spot at the Labor Department last year on 50-48 vote with Republicans arguing that the department was suffering without key positions filled. Pizzella has been a fixture of labor policy for several past administrations. He was an assistant secretary at the Labor Department throughout President George W. Bush's administration, 2001 to 2009. He served as a member of the Federal Labor Relations Authority, the agency that oversees labor relations between the government and federal employees, during President Barack Obama's administration, starting in 2013. Following Trump's election, Pizzella became FLRA chairman prior to moving to the Labor Department in April 2017. During President George H. W. Bush's administration, Pizzella served as deputy undersecretary in the Education Department. He worked for a namesake firm 2009 to 2013. He has a degree in business administration from the University of South Carolina.

His nomination to the number two position at the Labor Department was controversial. Some liberal policymakers and groups noted that he had lobbied on behalf of the Northern Mariana Islands to maintain its unique status as an income tax-free place that could still manufacture products with the label "Made in the U.S.A.," despite the island's record of poor working conditions. "[H]e has not done enough to repudiate his past record of defending companies that routinely ignored these [labor and civil] rights, and he has not given workers adequate reason to believe that he will defend their rights in the future, said the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights.

Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta will be stepping down in a week over his past involvement in a highly controversial plea deal for financier Jeffrey Epstein, who is now facing sex trafficking charges.

President Trump announced the shakeup Friday morning in remarks to reporters.

Acosta came under fire this week for his role as U.S. attorney for Florida in securing a plea deal for Epstein that resulted in an 18-month sentence - he served just 13 months.

Acosta DEFENDS ROLE IN EPSTEIN PLEA DEAL, FAULTS STATE PROSECUTORS

The deal was criticized as lenient because Epstein could have faced a life sentence. Acosta negotiated a deal that resulted in two state solicitation charges, but no federal charges.

Epstein was charged this week with sex trafficking and conspiracy during the early 2000s based on new evidence. Epstein pleaded not guilty on Monday in New York City federal court.

Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called Monday for Acosta to step down over what she called an "unconscionable agreement" with Epstein, and was soon joined by a chorus of other top-ranking congressional Democrats.

Meanwhile, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee wrote to Acosta on Wednesday inviting him to testify at a July 23 hearing that will examine his actions related to Epstein.

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., was the first 2020 Democrat to react to Acosta's resignation, tweeting: "Good riddance."

TRUMP SAYS HE WAS 'NOT A FAN' OF JEFFREY EPSTEIN, DESPITE PAST COMMENTS

Acosta defended himself Wednesday in a press conference, in which he said that his office fought for a tougher punishment after state prosecutors were ready to let him walk free,

"Simply put, the Palm Beach state attorney's office was ready to let Epstein walk free, no jail time," he said. "Prosecutors in my former office found this to be completely unacceptable."

Acosta argued that it was his office that secured jail time, restitution and for Epstein to register as a sex offender.

"We believe that we proceeded appropriately, that's based on evidence, not just my opinion… there was value to getting a guilty plea and having him register," he said.

Barry Krischer, the Palm Beach County state attorney at the time, responded later Wednesday: "I can emphatically state that Mr. Acosta's recollection of this matter is completely wrong. Federal prosecutors do not take a back seat to state prosecutors. That's not how the system works in the real world."

He continued, "If Mr. Acosta was truly concerned with the State's case and felt he had to rescue the matter, he would have moved forward with the 53-page indictment that his own office drafted."

Still, Acosta said the accusations against Epstein were "despicable" and his alleged crimes "absolutely deserve a stiffer sentence."

This then gave ROBERT MUELLER FULL POWER OVER EVERYONE FOR HIS EVIL SATANIC RULE TO CONTROL THE WORLD!
So "whos" behind the OZ Curtian MUELLER is doing this for?
US Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta is under attack due to his handling of the 2007-2008 child sex trafficking prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein, states that the true facts of this case show it was, in fact, FBI Director Robert Mueller who ordered Epstein freed, not Acosta-most particularly because Epstein was an informant for Mueller-and as further confirmed by British-American investigative reporter Vicky Ward who, revealed that Acosta cut the non-prosecution deal with one of Epstein's attorneys because he had "been told" to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade-and Acosta exactly stating: "I was told Epstein 'belonged to intelligence' and to leave it alone"
Then issues surrounding child sex trafficker Epstein came exposed in early June-2016 after Shahriar Zolfaghari was targeted and assassinated by CIA assassins in Atlanta-GA-a "message killing" meant for his wife Camila Wright who, as Georgia's statewide prosecutor for human trafficking, was preparing to file sex crime charges against both former President Bill Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein-but who afterwards, left office to become the Executive Director of the Georgia Life Alliance and joined President Trump's crusade to save the lives of unborn babies.
In 2016, it was confirmed that Jeffrey Epstein was an OPERATIVE of Israeli intelligence working with both the FBI and CIA in a covert operation designed to capture targeted elites (billionaires/Hollywood celebrities/heads of state/politicians/etc.) on video performing sex acts with minor children for blackmail purposes-the most prominent of whom was former President Bill Clinton whom Epstein filmed raping a 13-year-old girl child.

See how you clearly do not do your research, when all evidence is in front of you!

BLIND AND/OR BRAINWASHED to not see truth, when you rea it?

But of course, you are smarter then everyone else, and know everything right? Then how can you miss Acosta's own Quote from 2 days ago at his press confrence, where he stated, Meuller said Epstein "BELONGED TO INTELLIGENCE".

Then if Epstein "Belonged to Intelligence" who was his "handler"? Mueller, since Mueller told this to Acosta, which he clearly stated..

Oh how easily you get fooled and not read between the lines and truth… That is unless you hear it on the news, then its all real right?

Jeffrey Epstein had help operating sex trafficking ring from women he allegedly coerced

What motivated four women to allegedly assist disgraced multi-millionaire Jeffrey Epstein in his abuse of dozens of underage girls?

The answer may consist of several psychological factors - including Stockholm Syndrome-according to a prominent New York City psychiatrist.

"It's complicated to understand whether they did it voluntarily or were controlled, a la Patty Hearst," Alan Manevitz, MD, a Manhattan-based family psychiatrist told Fox News.

Manevitz has treated patients for Stockholm Syndrome, which occurs when hostages or victims develop a psychological bond with their captors. It refers to a 1973 bank robbery in Stockhom in which hostages were taken.

"For most of us, the fear of punishment prevents us from committing crimes, but how many of us would do it if we knew we could get away with it? Actually, not that many, but there are some who learn strategies to neutralize their moral compass and it is these people who may pose risks later in life."

According to the new federal indictment unsealed Monday, Epstein created, "a vast network of underage victims for him to sexually exploit" by conspiring with employees, associates, and others to run what was essentially a sex-trafficking enterprise between 2002 and 2005. It appeared that some of those associates included a group of four women who were granted immunity in a controversial plea deal made by then-prosecutor (and current Secretary of Labor) Alexander Acosta.

Another major scumbag in the Epstein child sex trafficking ring is one Jean-Luc Brunel, the model agency owner of MC2. According to a former bookkeeper at Brunel's agency, young underage girls from South America, Europe and the former Soviet republics were personally delivered to Epstein as MC2 models via Brunel who was a frequent guest at Epstein residences.[lxxiv] Per the flightlog manifests, Brunel and his underage girls, many of whom did not speak English, often traveled on Epstein's planes. The MC2 bookkeeper confirmed that in 2005 Brunel and his model agency received a million dollars from Epstein. Though holding an 85% share of the agency, Brunel works mostly in the capacity as a model scout for MC2 around the world. Jean-Luc Brunel has a longtime criminal reputation in the fashion industry for drugging and raping underage girls as featured in a 60 Minutes segment from 1988.[lxxv] Even then he was known to be a procurer of underage girls for the right price. Despite all his known predatory crimes, Epstein's longtime French friend has never been arrested nor been subpoenaed to testify in the Epstein case. His "charmed" life flagrantly living above the law also strongly suggests pedophile protection from the planetary controllers.

The lawsuits against Epstein just keep coming. Three of his sex trafficking rape victims known in their recent litigation against the registered sex offender as L.M., E.W. and Jane Doe, just last October 2017 were awarded a settlement of $1 million, $2 million and $2.5 million respectively.[lxxvi] But for a whole decade two other plaintiffs represented by the same attorney Brad Edwards, have also been trying to challenge Epstein's impunity in a lawsuit charging the federal prosecutors led by Trump's current Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta for violating the Trafficking Victims Protection Act.[lxxvii] It was Acosta in 2007 who allowed the plea bargain agreement for the human trafficking kingpin without informing the plaintiff victims. Their civil rights were violated when prosecutors chose not to try Epstein nor his accomplices for human trafficking and committing hundreds of despicably heinous sex crimes.

Former Epstein chief prosecutor and current US Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta as the southern Florida district US attorney from 2005 to 2009 oversaw making that sickening sweetheart deal for convicted pedophile Epstein.[lxxviii] Subsequently when the then two underage minors learned of Epstein's virtual non-sentence nearly a year later, they took Epstein and his prosecutors to federal court charging that their rights had been violated under the 2004 Crime Victims' Rights Act that requires prosecutors to inform victims of any plea bargained arrangement prior to conviction and sentencing.[lxxix] Obviously had they been lawfully looped in, they never would've agreed to Epstein's cushy deal. Uncovering letters between Acosta's US Attorney's office and Epstein's legal defense team, the victims' lawyers accurately contend that a conspiracy to conceal vital information not to prosecute took place between the government and Epstein attorneys.

After signing off on such a sweet arrangement for a sex slave trafficker and child rapist hundreds of times over, then reacting to the flak once word of the ridiculous deal publicly caught traction, attorney Alexander Acosta defensively wrote in a 2011 letter:

Our judgment in this case, based on the evidence known at the time, was that it was better to have a billionaire serve time in jail, register as a sex offender and pay his victims restitution than risk a trial with a reduced likelihood of success.[lxxx]

Acosta's bogus rationale claiming the risk that Epstein might walk if brought to trial is at best a feeble attempt to justify his accomplice role while willfully subverting justice to let Epstein do exactly what Acosta claims he was most afraid of - letting the pedophile trafficker walk. The wimpy Alexander described the many months of negotiations prior to the September 2007 non-prosecution agreement as:

Trump's Labor Secretary Cut Epstein a Sweetheart Deal - Now He's Gutting Sex Trafficking Prevention

As U.S. Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta receives flak for his past work ensuring immunity for Jeffrey Epstein in an infamous 2008 sweetheart deal that allowed the convicted sexual predator to be free of federal prosecution after he was investigated for running a child sex trafficking ring, his current actions in the Trump cabinet are also drawing renewed scrutiny.

Since coming to office, Acosta has attempted to drastically cut the budget for government efforts to combat child sex trafficking by about 80 percent, reports the Guardian.

In Acosta's proposed Department of Labor budget for fiscal year 2020, the labor secretary hoped to decimate the resources of the department's International Labor Affair Bureau (ILAB), knocking its budget down from last year's $68 million to a mere $18.5 million.

The bureau is tasked with promoting "a fair global playing field for workers" by fighting against human trafficking, forced labor, and child enslavement, and is also seen as a critical tool in the fight to combat sex trafficking of minors.

The ILAB's office also produces comprehensive congressionally-mandated reports on child labor and human trafficking around the world while maintaining an index of products and source countries that use child and forced labor, among other functions, according to the Daily Beast.

Experts claim that Acosta's proposed slash-and-burn budget would mean that U.S. government efforts to curb sex trafficking would effectively grind to a halt.

The Department of Labor has done little to shed light on its reasoning behind the budget cuts, but in 2017 it released a press statement announcing its 2018 budget request where it stated that the government would save "$68 million by refocusing the Bureau of International Labor Affairs on ensuring that U.S. trade agreements are fair for American workers."

Democratic Congresswoman Katherine Clark of Massachusetts has accused Acosta of ignoring the plight of the vulnerable, just as he had during his stint as U.S. attorney in the Southern District of Florida when he gave Epstein a slap on the wrist for one count of prostitution, landing the rapist in jail for only 13 months despite allegations that countless children had been victimized by his prostitution and trafficking ring.

In April, Clark grilled Acosta during a hearing about the Department of Labor's funding request.

In a scathing exchange where Clark found Acosta to be "rude, dismissive, challenging," the congresswoman grilled Acosta:

That is excellent ... And I know that there are hundreds of thousands of adults and children who are victims of sex and labor trafficking in the U.S. Glad you are looking at it, glad you've detailed a comprehensive strategy."

But you've also proposed a budget cut, almost 80 percent, 79 percent to ILAB where this work is done, bringing its budget from $68 million to just $18.5 million.

I'm sure you've come prepared to justify this cut to us, but it doesn't go unnoticed that this isn't the first time that you've ignored human trafficking.

How can we expect you, the Labor Secretary, to fight for American workers if you couldn't even fight for these girls?"

Sen. Chuck Schumer - who called on Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta to resign and said President Trump should "answer" for his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein - accepted thousands of dollars in donations from the alleged pedophile throughout the 1990s, The Post has learned.

Federal Election Commission records show that Schumer received seven $1,000 donations from Epstein between 1992 and 1997, first as a US congressman from New York and then when he was vying to be the state's senator in 1998, an election he won.

Schumer: Labor Secretary Acosta should resign over Jeffrey Epstein case
Epstein - who was arrested Saturday and charged with sex trafficking and a related conspiracy count for allegedly sexually abusing a vast network of underage girls - also gave $10,000 to Victory in New York, a joint fundraising committee established by Schumer and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

Epstein gave an additional $5,000 to Win New York, a Schumer-associated joint committee that benefited the Liberal Party of New York state.

Both of Epstein's donations to the committees came in October 1998 - and look to have primarily benefited the DSCC and the Liberal Party of New York, as Epstein would have already met the $2,000 limit on donating individually to Schumer.

At the time, donors could give $1,000 to a candidate per election - once in the primary and again in the general

Former Florida state's attorney calls Alex Acosta a liar

Former Florida State Attorney Barry Krischer responded to US Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta, after he pinned blame for financier Jeffrey Epstein's lenient sentence on the State Attorney's office, saying Acosta's "recollection of this matter is completely wrong."

Who Is The Florida State Prosecutor Who Acosta Said Went Easy On Jeffrey Epstein?

Alexander Acosta on Wednesday blamed a former Florida state prosecutor for mishandling the prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein.
Acosta said at a press conference that Barry Krischer intended to let Epstein off with no jail time despite allegations that he solicited sex from underage girls.
Krischer, a Democrat, prosecuted a case against Rush Limbaugh. He is also the namesake of a YWCA humanitarian award.

During a press conference Wednesday, Alexander Acosta, the secretary of labor and a former federal prosecutor in Miami, repeatedly blamed a former Florida state attorney for mishandling the prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein, a billionaire sex offender who has been accused of molesting dozens of underage girls.

"Letting what the state attorney was ready to do go[ing] forward - would have been absolutely awful," Acosta said Wednesday, while defending his decision to strike a plea deal with Epstein in 2008.

Acosta was referring to Barry Krischer, a Democrat who served as state attorney in Palm Beach through 2008.

Acosta said his prosecutors intervened in the state case after learning Epstein would be allowed to enter a plea agreement that would keep him out of jail and not require him to register as a sex offender. He said his office faced the difficult decision of either forcing Epstein to accept a guilty plea that would give him some jail time, or "roll the dice" by taking Epstein to trial.

"Simply put, the Palm Beach State Attorney's office was ready to let Epstein walk free, no jail time, nothing. Prosecutors in my former office found this to be completely unacceptable. And they became involved. Our office became involved," Acosta said.

The end result was a plea deal that gave Epstein 13 months in Florida state jail on one charge of soliciting prostitution from a minor. The deal required him to register as a sex offender and compensate his victims.

Epstein was indicted Monday by federal prosecutors in New York on charges that he engaged in sex trafficking of underage girls between 2002 and 2005.

Krischer has avoided most of the public scrutiny over the handling of the original Epstein investigation. That has fallen mostly on Acosta, thanks in part to his cabinet position in the Trump administration.

Jeffrey Epstein's deal with Alexander Acosta wasn't out of line with what I have seen

Kimberly Mehlman-Orozco, Opinion contributor Published 2:41 p.m. ET July 10, 2019 | Updated 4:32 p.m. ET July 10, 2019

Jeffery Epstein has had a long list of friends from high places, including the likes of Stephen Hawking, Bill Clinton and President Trump. But did Epstein leverage these connections? We explain. Just the FAQs, USA TODAY
Alexander Acosta acted like other prosecutors. Outcome of Epstein's original indictment not necessarily out of the ordinary for trafficking cases.

In the mid-2000s, a 53-count indictment was drafted, but never filed, against American financier Jeffrey Epstein. At the time, Palm Beach Police had identified 17 girls, as young as 14, who alleged sexual contact with him. One of the girls, Haley Robson, told police that she was paid to bring other girls to Epstein's mansion for massages, before being pressured and paid to remove their clothes and submit to fondling and other invasive sexual contact. Instead of prosecuting the case, the U.S. attorney in the Southern District of Florida at the time - Alexander Acosta - offered a plea deal for two prostitution offenses, which carried a penalty of 13 months of incarceration with work release and a requirement to register as a sex offender. Epstein and his attorneys took the deal.

Acosta is now the labor secretary for the Trump administration, while Epstein faces new sex trafficking of minors charges in New York.

Top Democrats in Congress have publicly criticized Acosta's plea deal, accusing him of mishandling the prosecution with an "unconscionable agreement" and demanding his resignation.

While the number of alleged victims against Epstein and failure of Acosta to confer with them before the plea agreement was made are certainly causes for concern, the unfortunate reality is that the outcome of Epstein's original indictment is not necessarily out of the ordinary for these types of cases.

Where can I find a timeline of Alexander Acosta/Epstein?

He left his gov job by July 1, 2009 when he became the second dean of Florida International University College of Law.

June 2008 was when Epstein pled guilty, how long afterwards did U.S. Attorney Acosta leave that job?

Since Miami Herald wants to play hardball, here's the article:

Alexander Acosta is being unfairly criticized for his handling of Epstein's plea deal
By David Oscar Markus
dmarkus@markuslaw.com

December 06, 2018 02:29 AM
Alexander Acosta is arguably President Trump's most successful cabinet member. For starters, job numbers and unemployment rates are breaking records under his supervision as Labor Secretary.

And particularly noteworthy for this administration, Acosta has been scandal free. There have been no Twitter fights (like with Jeff Sessions), no misuse of government funds (like with six other cabinet members), or other similar issues (like with Louise Linton going off on Instagram).
Instead, Acosta has done what he has always done - kept his head down, worked hard, and gotten good results.
Because of his successes, there had been some whispers that Acosta was being considered, albeit as a long-shot, for Attorney General.

Acosta, who has dedicated his life to public service (from the civil rights division to U.S. Attorney to dean of Florida International University School of Law to his current position in the cabinet), would have been an incredible choice.

Then last week, the Miami Herald retold the story of Jeffrey Epstein's plea deal from over 10 years ago, when Secretary Acosta was U.S. Attorney Acosta. Although Epstein was required to plead guilty, register as a sex offender, pay restitution and go to state prison, there are many - including the New York Times, Miami Herald, and others - who are calling for Congress to investigate Acosta and force him out, equating Acosta's approval of the deal to Epstein's actions.

Palm Beach multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein is a free man, despite sexually abusing dozens of underage girls according to police and prosecutors. His victims have never had a voice, until now.

Q Research General #8933: Kek and the Camo of Pedo! Unpeeled! Edition

The NY Post never disappointed:

Schumer took thousands in donations from Epstein:

https://nypost.com/2019/07/10/schumer-got-thousands-in-donations-from-jeffrey-epstein/

The unspoken story here is that whoever was running Epstein is/was also running Schumer.
Those who scream the loudest, ya'll.
——————————–

Sen. Chuck Schumer - who called on Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta to resign and said President Trump should "answer" for his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein - accepted thousands of dollars in donations from the alleged pedophile throughout the 1990s, The Post has learned.

Federal Election Commission records show that Schumer received seven $1,000 donations from Epstein between 1992 and 1997, first as a US congressman from New York and then when he was vying to be the state's senator in 1998, an election he won.

Epstein - who was arrested Saturday and charged with sex trafficking and a related conspiracy count for allegedly sexually abusing a vast network of underage girls - also gave $10,000 to Victory in New York, a joint fundraising committee established by Schumer and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

Epstein gave an additional $5,000 to Win New York, a Schumer-associated joint committee that benefited the Liberal Party of New York state.

Both of Epstein's donations to the committees came in October 1998 - and look to have primarily benefited the DSCC and the Liberal Party of New York, as Epstein would have already met the $2,000 limit on donating individually to Schumer.

At the time, donors could give $1,000 to a candidate per election - once in the primary and again in the general.

That means Schumer and Schumer-linked entities received a combined $22,000.

Schumer spokesman Angelo Roefaro responded, "While these campaign accounts closed about 20 years ago, and even then the campaign never controlled the two political action committees (PACs), Senator Schumer is donating an equal sum to anti-sex trafficking and anti-violence against women groups."

The top Senate Democrat previously donated $14,200 - the amount donated to his campaigns by accused sexual predator Harvey Weinstein - to several charities supporting women.

On the Senate floor Tuesday, Schumer made three Epstein-related demands.

He first called on Acosta to resign.

Acosta, the former US attorney in Miami, was responsible for inking a plea deal with Epstein that victims weren't informed of, according to an expose in the Miami Herald.

While Epstein was accused of molesting dozens of teenage girls at his Palm Beach estate, he served just 13 months in prison, much of it out on work release.

"Instead of prosecuting a predator and serial sex trafficker of children, Acosta chose to let him off easy," Schumer said on the floor. "This is not acceptable. We cannot have, as one of the leading appointed officials in America, someone who has done this."

Schumer also asked that the Department of Justice's Office of Professional Responsibility make public its review of Acosta's handling of the case.

Finally, Schumer said Trump should paint a fuller picture of what he meant when he called Epstein a "terrific guy" in a 2002 article for New York Magazine.

Epstein was arrested this week and charged with trafficking dozens of minors between 2002 and 2005 in New York and Florida.

An April 2011 court filing shows that Trump eventually barred Epstein from Mar-a-Lago "because Epstein sexually assaulted a girl at the club," the documents allege.

Trump didn't officially launch a political career until June 2015. No FEC records show that Epstein was ever a Trump donor.

Epstein indictment: Is Hillary behind a Trump - Epstein collusion theory?

WASHINGTON. There's something fishy about the impending prosecution of billionaire financier and registered sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein. His unsealed indictment of Sunday last goes against a 2007 deal reached between his lawyers and then-US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Alexander Acosta - President Trump's current US Secretary of Labor.

….So, why the sudden reversal in the agreement by the Justice Department not to prosecute Epstein for his earlier crimes?

I believe it has to do with the upcoming 2020 presidential election.

….This is just a theory, but that sounds a lot like a casting call for an accuser - ala Christine Blasey Ford.

….But Trump Derangement Syndrome has reached a fever pitch. And the woman who was humiliated for decades by her husband's "bimbo eruptions" - which proved as reliable as Yosemite's Old Faithful - is still smarting from her humiliating defeat at the hands of first-time politician Trump.

Could it be that Hillary Clinton has signed off on a plan by the Justice Department's New York branch to bring down Jeffery Epstein as a means for getting Trump removed from office? It would also provide satisfying revenge on her unfaithful husband of 44 years.

President Trump on Tuesday defended Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta, who is facing calls to resign over his role in a non-prosecution agreement with billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein in a sex-crimes case.

Trump told reporters at the White House that Acosta has been a "very good" Labor secretary and said he probably wished he handled the Epstein case differently. The president added that he would be looking at the case "very carefully."

The president also sought to distance himself from Epstein, with whom he used to socialize with in Palm Beach, Fla., saying they had a falling out and had not spoken in years.

Acosta earlier Tuesday defended the non-prosecution agreement that he helped broker while serving as a U.S. attorney in Florida, as top Democrats call for the Trump Cabinet member to resign from his post.

Acosta acknowledged new sex-crimes charges against Epstein could "more fully bring him to justice."

"The crimes committed by Epstein are horrific, and I am pleased that NY prosecutors are moving forward with a case based on new evidence," Acosta wrote in a string of tweets.

"Now that new evidence and additional testimony is available, the NY prosecution offers an important opportunity to more fully bring him to justice."

Former White House Clinton spox: 'Jeffrey Epstein's not part' of Clinton's circle

Former President Bill Clinton press secretary Joe Lockhart denied Jeffrey Epstein was good friends with the Clintons during an appearance on Tuesday morning. The denial comes as Epstein, the well-connected billionaire, was arrested and is facing new charges for child sex trafficking. "On the Clinton matter, I stay in touch with the Foundation, and I know, you know, to clear up the trips versus the flights, I think the number was 26 or 27. Each of these trips, and I have been on many of these trips where you go to Asia or you go to Africa, and each flight is counted. So each trip will be six or seven different flights. I know most of the Clinton circle. Jeffrey Epstein's not part of it. I've never met the guy," Lockhart said. "I've met most of the president's friends, but all of this should come out," he said.

Lockhart then turned his attention to Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta, who was part of the federal prosecutor team that made a deal with Epstein that resulted in him avoiding 10 years of jail for similar charges. "No one questions Alex Acosta's judgment in letting this guy go through. It's all about, well, will this look bad on the president, and I don't think someone like Acosta would ever have been nominated by another president, if they had done vetting, but certainly wouldn't have lasted this long," he said.

In a statement released by his current press secretary on Monday, Clinton claimed to know "nothing about the terrible crimes" Epstein is charged with. "In 2002 and 2003, President Clinton took a total of four trips on Jeffrey Epstein's airplane: One to Europe, one to Asia, and two to Africa, which included stops in connection with the work of the Clinton Foundation. Staff, supporters of the Foundation, and his Secret Service detail traveled on every leg of every trip," the statement explained. "He's not spoken to Epstein in well over a decade, and has never been to Little St. James Island, Epstein's ranch in New Mexico, or his residence in Florida," it added.

Alexander Acosta must go

Jeffrey Epstein, the hedge fund manager and self-proclaimed billionaire, was charged with sex trafficking on Monday in federal court, a crime similar if not identical to one for which he was allowed to enter a plea deal in Florida in 2008 and avoid serious jail time. In violation of the requirement to inform victims of such a settlement, prosecutors in the 2008 case - including Alexander Acosta, the current secretary of labor - hatched the deal in secrecy, tossing aside a 53-page indictment alleging that Epstein recruited underage girls and induced them to recruit others to engage in sex at his home in Florida.

I'm tempted to say that the Republican Party should join Pelosi because it wouldn't want to be associated with an alleged child molester, but Trump already has (Alabama's Moore). I'm tempted to say that the GOP should care about victimized minors; but its indifference to the plight of mistreated children detained at the border should disabuse you of that notion. I'm tempted to say that the GOP doesn't want to be on the side of men who abuse women, but … well, you get the point. If Acosta doesn't quit as Pelosi suggests, Democrats should pass a resolution in the House demanding Acosta's resignation. If that doesn't do it, commence impeachment hearings. It'll be good practice. And let the Republicans defend the guy who cut a deal with a "monster."

Pelosi adds her voice to those calling for Acosta's resignation over earlier Epstein case

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Monday night became the highest-profile lawmaker to call for the resignation of Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta, citing his handling as a U.S. attorney of an earlier case against Jeffrey Epstein that resulted in a minimal sentence.

Pelosi's call for Acosta to "step down" followed Monday's indictment of the billionaire financier on sex trafficking charges involving underage girls. The indictment renewed focus on a plea deal negotiated in 2007 that led to two felony solicitation charges and 13 months in county jail for Epstein at a time when he had been facing the possibility of life in prison.

"@SecretaryAcosta must step down," Pelosi said in a tweet. "As US Attorney, he engaged in an unconscionable agreement w/ Jeffrey Epstein kept secret from courageous, young victims preventing them from seeking justice."

"This was known by @POTUS when he appointed him to the cabinet," Pelosi added, referring to President Trump.

FBI announces "dozens" more charges against Epstein are pending, uses term "placeholder"

>https://www.foxnews.com/us/jeffrey-epstein-indictment-former-fbi-official-expect-more-charges

A former FBI official said Monday that the federal indictment of Jeffrey Epstein is a "placeholder" for prosecutors and he expects a much larger "superseding" indictment to be forthcoming.

An indictment alleging sex trafficking and sex trafficking conspiracy was unsealed Monday morning against the financier and registered sex offender.

Prosecutors allege Epstein, the 66-year-old wealthy hedge fund manager arrested on Saturday, preyed on "dozens" of victims as young as 14, allegedly operating a "vast network" from 2002 "up to and including" at least 2005. He pleaded not guilty to the charges in a New York courtroom Monday afternoon.

Former Assistant FBI Director Chris Swecker said he believes the two-count indictment was brought to get Epstein "off the street" as fast as possible.

"I think a decision was made that this conduct was ongoing, perhaps," he said.

Epstein, who once counted as friends former President Bill Clinton, Britain's Prince Andrew and President Trump, was arrested Saturday after his private jet touched down from France. Court documents obtained by Fox News in 2016 showed that Clinton took at least 26 trips flying aboard Epstein's private jet, known as the "Lolita Express," and apparently ditched his Secret Service detail on some of the excursions.

Records showed Trump apparently flew on the jet at least once, however, his legal team more recently has denied the two were friends.

Swecker said on "America's Newsroom" that he believes the current investigation is a "redo" of a previous probe that ended with Epstein receiving the "deal of the century." Epstein's plea deal, in which he was sentenced to 13 months in jail, was overseen by former Miami U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta, who is now Trump's labor secretary.

"That plea deal should never have happened. This is a zero-tolerance crime now and it should have been a zero-tolerance crime back then," he said.

He emphasized that the Southern District of New York's public corruption unit is handling the Epstein case, probably because he is alleged to have provided underage women to "pretty high-profile individuals."

"That would involve, by definition, public corruption if the charges were suppressed for that reason," said Swecker.

The once-secret deal, exposed in a series of reports in The Miami Herald, has been challenged in federal court. A judge ruled earlier this year that Epstein's victims should have been consulted under federal law, and he is now weighing whether to invalidate the agreement.

Prosecutors: Nude photos of apparent minors seized from Epstein residence

Federal prosecutors on Monday said investigators found nude photos of what appear to be underage girls at financier Jeffrey Epstein's residence in New York.

"Agents executed a search warrant on [Epstein's] mansion in New York City and recovered and seized evidence including nude photographs of what appear to be underage girls," Geoffrey Berman, the U.S. attorney in Manhattan, said at a press conference.

An FBI official said anyone who may have been hurt by Epstein or who has information about any alleged crimes should contact the agency.

"We are asking anyone who may have been victimized by Jeffrey Epstein, or anyone who may have information about his alleged criminal behavior, to please call us," FBI Assistant Director William Sweeney added in a statement. "The number is 1-800-CALL-FBI. We want to hear from you, regardless of the age you are now, or whatever age you were then, no matter where the incident took place."

Charges against Epstein were unsealed Monday for sex trafficking and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking.

Epstein's attorney, Jack Goldberger, did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill. Before the indictment was made public, Goldberger said his client would plead not guilty, according to Reuters.

More than a decade ago he pleaded guilty to sex trafficking and was sentenced to serve just 13 months in prison, the Miami Herald reported.

The new indictment follows heavy criticism of the past prosecution of Epstein. Then-U.S. attorney and current Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta in particular has come under scrutiny for a deal that allowed Epstein to avoid a life sentence. Acosta has defended the arrangement, arguing it ensured Epstein would spend time behind bars.

Jeffrey Epstein Had A Ton Of Rich, Powerful Friends

Jeffrey Epstein was friends with a who's who of high-profile politicians, celebrities and media elites, including Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, and Prince Andrew.
Epstein was arrested Saturday and indicted on charges that he trafficked underage girls for sex.
In 2010, after completing a jail sentence related to a sex case in Florida, Epstein reportedly hosted George Stephanopoulos, Katie Couric, Woody Allen and Chelsea Handler at his New York City townhouse.

The indictment against Jeffrey Epstein for allegedly trafficking underage girls has renewed attention on the billionaire sex offender's circle of rich and powerful friends.

Epstein had close ties in the mid-2000s to former President Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew and Ehud Barak, the former prime minister of Israel. President Donald Trump also considered Epstein a friend, describing the mysterious financier as a "terrific guy" in a 2002 media profile.

Epstein's Rolodex, which was leaked in 2011, was also filled with the names of easily recognizable politicians and celebrities, including actors Alec Baldwin, Ralph Fiennes, Dustin Hoffman, and Elizabeth Hurley. Mick Jagger and Rupert Murdoch are also listed in the book, as are politicians Tony Blair, Michael Bloomberg, Andrew Cuomo, and Ted Kennedy.

Epstein's legal problems initially did not block his access to his high-profile friends.

The Daily Beast reported in 2011 that Epstein hosted George Stephanopoulos, Katie Couric, Chelsea Handler, Woody Allen and other celebrities at a dinner at his New York City townhouse in December 2010, more than a year after Epstein has served 13 months in jail for soliciting prostitution from a minor.

According to the report:

On the evening of December 2nd, 2010, a handful of America's media and entertainment elite-including TV anchors Katie Couric and George Stephanopoulos, comedienne Chelsea Handler, and director Woody Allen-convened around the dinner table of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. It wasn't just any dining room, but part of a sprawling nine-story townhouse that once housed an entire preparatory school.

Epstein left jail in July 2009, after serving 13 months of an 18 month sentence in Florida as part of a plea deal in which he admitted to soliciting prostitution from a minor under the age of 18.

The FBI had uncovered evidence during an investigation that Epstein had engaged in sex acts with as many as three dozen underage girls. But while facing a life prison sentence, Epstein struck the lenient deal with Alexander Acosta, who then served as U.S. attorney for the southern district of Florida. As part of the agreement, Epstein and his associates were granted immunity from federal prosecution related to any sex crimes in Florida.

The one weird court case linking Trump, Clinton, and a billionaire pedophile

A woman suing in connection with Jeffrey Epstein's underage sex ring claims she was first approached while working as a towel girl at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort.

By JOSH GERSTEIN 05/04/2017 12:03 PM EDT

NEW YORK-A woman who claims in a lawsuit that she was lured into a sex-trafficking ring run by billionaire Jeffrey Epstein contends that the depravity began at a Florida resort now known as the winter White House: Mar-a-Lago.

Virginia Giuffre's civil suit, scheduled to go to trial here later this month, threatens to expose new details of a long-running saga tying together President Donald Trump, former President Bill Clinton, Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta, and other prominent figures, including Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz.


Epstein, a well-connected Manhattan money manager and philanthropist, was once a regular at Mar-a-Lago and an active supporter of the Clinton Foundation-repeatedly lending his 727 jet to Clinton for trips overseas. Dershowitz defended Epstein amid an investigation into his involvement with underage girls more than a decade ago, and it was Acosta-then the U.S. attorney overseeing south Florida-who allowed Epstein's case to be resolved in state court in 2008.

The scandal has spawned a series of drawn-out civil suits, including Giuffre's.

Giuffre, formerly Roberts, claims she was 15 and working as a towel girl at Trump's posh Palm Beach club when she was recruited nearly two decades ago into sexual slavery by socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, then Epstein's girlfriend.

A lawyer for Trump says the president was unaware of any wrongdoing by Epstein.

Giuffre asserts in her complaint that Maxwell, the sole defendant in the suit and the daughter of late publishing magnate Robert Maxwell, routinely recruited underaged girls for Epstein and was doing so when she approached the $9-an-hour locker room attendant at Mar-a-Lago in 1999 about giving massages to the wealthy investment banker.

Prosecutors: Nude photos of apparently underage girls found in Jeffrey Epstein's NYC mansion

Law enforcement seized "nude photographs of what appear to be underage girls" from Jeffrey Epstein's mansion in Manhattan during the execution of a search warrant on Saturday, prosecutors said at a Monday morning press conference. The raid was conducted as Epstein was arrested at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey after he arrived back in the U.S. from a trip to Paris. A detention memo filed by the prosecution further alleges "an extraordinary volume of photographs of nude and partially-nude young women or girls" were seized in the raid on Epstein's New York City home.

Geoffrey Berman, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, said that prosecutors would tell the court later this afternoon that "Epstein should be detained pending trial" because he poses a significant flight risk following the unsealing of an indictment charging him with conspiracy and the sex trafficking of underage girls. "When you have two planes and live much of the year abroad, we think that's a real threat," Berman said. Berman said that Epstein faces up to 45 years in jail, which he described as essentially a life sentence for the 66-year-old Epstein. Epstein will appear in court this afternoon. Berman said that Epstein created "an ever-expanding web of new victims" over the course of years, even though Epstein was well aware that many of his victims were minors. "They deserve their day in court, and we are proud to stand up for them by bringing this indictment," Berman said. And he urged any other victims of Epstein who might be listening to contact authorities at 1-800-CALL-FBI.

Bill Sweeney, assistant director-in-charge of the FBI's New York field office, said that neither money nor political pressure would stop them from pursuing this case. Epstein, a well-connected and wealthy financier, pleaded guilty in 2008 to two state-level prostitution solicitation charges, for which he served 13 months. His attorneys, former independent counsel Ken Starr and Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz, reached the agreement with federal prosecutors, including then-U.S. Attorney for Southern Florida and now-Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta. Both Berman and Sweeney pointed to investigative journalism that helped them bring these charges, likely pointing to work done by the Miami Herald in 2018 and 2019.

The 14-page charging document alleges that Epstein "sexually exploited and abused dozens of minor girls at his homes in Manhattan, New York and Palm Beach, Florida, among other locations" between 2002 and 2005 and perhaps beyond. The indictment further stated that Epstein "enticed and recruited, and caused to be enticed and recruited, minor girls... to engage in sex acts with him" and that he would then "give the victims hundreds of dollars in cash." Some of the victims were as young as 14 at the time the alleged crimes occurred, and Epstein was often aware of their ages. The indictment also claimed that Epstein paid some of his victims to recruit other underage girls to be abused, alleging that Epstein "created a vast network of underage victims for him to sexually exploit in locations including New York and Palm Beach" and that he "maintained a steady supply of new victims to exploit," and that at least three employees helped him. A federal judge found in February the plea deal struck by Acosta, who has been harshly criticized for his handling of the case, infringed upon the rights of the victims and ordered that the records be unsealed.

Berman said Monday that that 2008 plea agreement only applies to Florida, not New York.

Wasserman Schultz's call for "justice" answered, pedophile Epstein arrested

By Javier Manjarres 46 mins ago

Registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has been arrested in New York on new sex-trafficking charges stemming from allegations that date back to the early 2000's, and Florida Congresswomen Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D) couldn't be happier.

Rep. Wasserman Schultz has been calling for "justice" for the young underage girls that were sexually assaulted by Epstein, and quite possibly assaulted by some of his friends who d hold significant political and social status, including President Bill Clinton.

Initially, the call for justice was made because acting U.S. Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta and Trump appointee, negotiated a "non-prosecution" deal with Epstein when he was U.S. attorney in southern Florida.

Wasserman Schultz is very close to the Clintons, but has yet to mention the former president in any of her Epstein statements.

According to court records, Clinton flew on Epstein's private jet dubbed the "Lolita Express" some 26 times. Several of those trips Clinton flew on were to Epstein's notorious 72-acre estate in the Virgin Islands.

Epstein's arrest could implicate many of his friends and cohorts, INCLUDING CLINTON.

This could investigation and subsequent case could see the fall of many high profile political operatives, attorneys, and handlers, and quite possibly a U.S. President.

Remember Wasserman Schultz, Pelosi, and other Democrats and Republicans believe that "no one is above the law, not even the president."

Jim Carrey Turns Sharp Eye Toward Jeffrey Epstein And His Powerful Friends
The actor-artist's latest cartoon targets the financier convicted of operating a sex ring with underage girls.



By Carla Baranauckas, HuffPost US

Jim Carrey, the actor-artist who trolls President Donald Trump on social media with critical cartoon drawings, turned his attention to Jeffrey Epstein, the former hedge fund manager convicted of helping to operate an international sex ring which recruited underage girls.

A federal judge ruled last week that prosecutors in Florida broke the law when signing a lenient plea-bargain agreement with him in 2007. Epstein served only about a year in an arrangement of jail time and work release that began in 2008. One of the prosecutors who made the deal, Alexander Acosta, serves as secretary of labor in Trump's administration.

Carrey's drawing shows Epstein in a setting with palm trees in the background, presumably a visual reference to his private Caribbean island where he would host lavish parties. Peeking out from behind Epstein are two partly obscured faces that resemble Trump and former President Bill Clinton, both said to have been friends of Epstein. In 2016, an anonymous woman even accused Trump of raping her at one of Epstein's parties when she was a teenager, but she later dropped the suit.

Carrey wrote on Twitter: "Jeffrey Epstein had an island where VIPs allegedly exploited and abused child sex slaves. He had many rich and powerful guests there. Gosh…I hope none of them are embarrassed by the association."

Why It's Really Bad for Epstein He's Being Prosecuted by SDNY's Public Corruption Unit?

When news broke that convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was arrested again, a certain detail stuck out to legal experts looking at the case:

The SDNY *public corruption* unit??

Hmm ... https://t.co/inGyREnWhi

- George Conway (@gtconway3d) July 7, 2019 ←——————————————————————————————-LOSER…HOW THE FUCK DOES KELLYANNE GO HOME TO THIS RAT FUCK AT NGHT WTF

The Southern District of New York's Public Corruption Unit is handling the case, according to law enforcement sources for The Daily Beast. Two reportedly said that an indictment for one count each on sex trafficking of minors, and conspiracy to engage in sex trafficking of minors will be unsealed Monday.

Also: interesting that Public Corruption Unit has the case; Saturday is a strange day to arrest - emergency?; SDNY should seek to lock him up without bail given ability to flee; Epstein looking at effectively life - heavy incentive to flip - but will SDNY want him as cooperator?

- Elie Honig (@eliehonig) July 7, 2019

It is unusual that prosecutors from SDNY's public corruption section are handling the Jeffrey Epstein case. But don't read too much into that until the charges are made public. https://t.co/cvKhh0iFeU

- Renato Mariotti (@renato_mariotti) July 7, 2019

A few things about this stuck out to criminal defense lawyer and Law&Crime trial analyst Gene Rossi. First and foremost, it's "extremely bad news" for Epstein that the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York is involved.

"They don't play nice," Rossi told Law&Crime in a phone interview Sunday.

Also, it means that other charges are possible. It could mean money laundering, public corruption, or tax-related charges.

"Who knows?" he said. "The sky's the limit."

He said it would be a surprise if the case only involved the sex trafficking charges.

The SDNY in part describes the unit as generally investigating crimes of bribery, embezzlement, and frauds committed against local, state, and federal government agencies.

Epstein famously made his wealth as a financier, and his status got him rubbing elbows with Bill Clinton, and Donald Trump back in the day.

The defendant was convicted in Florida court in 2008 for solicitation of prostitution and procurement of minors for prostitution, but The Miami Herald reported last year that the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida, then run by current U.S. Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta, reached a non-prosecution agreement with Epstein, in exchange for the defendant pleading guilty in state court. Victims were kept in the dark about this, and alleged co-conspirators were given immunity. A federal judge ruled in February that prosecutors broke the law by doing this. Prosecutors, however, said there's no legal basis for victims to invalidate the agreement.

In any case, that's apparently not something that the SDNY has to worry about. They can sidestep that entire controversy.

Rossi, a former federal prosecutor out of the Eastern District of Virginia, pointed out that non-prosecution letters like that only bind the office that made it. In Epstein's case, prosecutors could likely look at things that allegedly happened in New York, where Epstein had a home at the time of the alleged incidents.

Jeffrey Epstein Documents Could Expose Powerful Politicians, Businessmen
Lisette Voytko
Lisette Voytko Forbes Staff

Topline: A federal appeals court Wednesday ordered that 167 documents in a lawsuit that alleges famously well-connected financier Jeffrey Epstein participated in a sex-trafficking ring should be unsealed-and that many of his powerful friends could be named.

In its 27-page decision, the court cited the public's right to access the case information outweighed the privacy of certain individuals, "including numerous prominent American politicians, powerful business executives, foreign presidents, a well?known Prime Minister, and other world leaders."
Virginia Guiffre (now Roberts) filed the lawsuit against Ghislane Maxwell, alleging that she had used her as part of a sex trafficking network of underage girls to Epstein and a number of his famous friends, including his lawyer Alan Dershowitz and Prince Andrew. Both men denied the accusations.
Dershowitz has supported unsealing the documents, according to the Daily Beast.
The documents will not be immediately available, as anonymous individuals involved in the case have two weeks to file appeals.
The court advised the documents be read carefully. "We therefore urge the media to exercise restraint in covering potentially defamatory allegations, and we caution the public to read such accounts with discernment," wrote the court in its decision.

Key background: Epstein had previously been charged in 2007 in a 53-page indictment. As the Miami Herald revealed in its investigative series "Perversion of Justice," Epstein managed to escape all federal charges through a plea deal that gave him and all of his coconspirators immunity, with all documents being sealed. Epstein ended up pleading guilty to one state prostitution charge in Florida. He then registered as a sex offender and paid unspecified restitution to three dozen victims identified by the FBI.

The contentious plea deal was orchestrated by U.S. attorney Alexander Acosta, now President Trump's secretary of labor. The Miami Herald's reporting prompted calls for Acosta to resign, but he has remained in his Cabinet post.

In February, a U.S. district judge determined federal prosecutors, including Acosta, broke the law by failing to notify victims before Epstein pleaded guilty to the Florida prostution charge. That decision could potentially nullify Epstein's plea deal, opening him up to new federal charges. But prosecutors are challenging this ruling.

Prince Andrew at risk once more as new court case begins - RT UK News

The Royal Family are being dragged back into the Jeffrey Epstein pedophile scandal, as a photo of the Queen's son, Prince Andrew, with an alleged 'underage prostitute' is listed as an exhibit in a new US court case.

Victims of the American billionaire sex offender, Epstein, are to tell a Florida courtroom their stories of sexual abuse, Tuesday.

One witness, who may be called to the stand at Palm Beach County Court, is Virginia Roberts who claims that was she was both forced to have sex with Epstein and that she was "loaned out" to perform sex acts on his friends.

Roberts alleges that those friends include Prince Andrew, Duke of York, a claim the Royal has consistently denied.

The photograph shows the Prince with his arm around Roberts' waist. It was taken at a London residence in March 2001, at which time Roberts would have been 17.

READ MORE: Royal relations: Prince Andrew wants to strengthen Saudi ties, following Khashoggi murder (VIDEO)

A Buckingham Palace spokesperson stated: "It is emphatically denied The Duke of York had any form of sexual contact or relationship with Virginia Roberts."

The civil trial against Epstein was preceded by an explosive report in the Miami Herald that alleges that the billionaire's powerful lawyers managed to pressure prosecutors, stopping him from receiving a significant jail time.

Epstein was jailed for 13 months in 2008 for soliciting girls for underage prostitution.

Then serving as the US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Alexander Acosta, negotiated a plea agreement for Epstein, sealing a 53-page FBI indictment against him and avoiding any federal criminal charges being brought against him.

Acosta is now Trump's Secretary of Labor.

Prince Andrew was photographed with the convicted sex offender, Epstein, following his release, leading to the Royal losing his role as a UK trade envoy.

The Epstein scandal has reached into the heart of the American establishment. Politicians from both parties, alongside men from the Hollywood and business elite, are listed on the flight logs of Epstein's private jet, dubbed the 'Lolita Express.'

A U.S. District Court judge in New York who was presiding over a lawsuit involving a wealthy, Clinton-connected financier and sex offender died Sunday at the age of 96.

Robert W. Sweet died at his home in Ketchum, Idaho, while on vacation, The New York Times reported. He was appointed by President Jimmy Carter in 1978. Politico reported that Sweet was presiding over the lawsuit that followed what many saw as an unusual plea deal for Jeffrey Epstein.


Alexander Acosta, the current U.S. Secretary of Labor, negotiated what critics called a sweetheart, potentially corrupt plea deal with Jeffrey Epstein when he was the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida. The arrangement required Epstein to pay restitution to dozens of victims, but offered a variety of unusual concessions as part of a non-prosecution agreement.

A Timeline of the Jeffery Epstein Case
1/3

2005
March: A 14-year-old girl and her parents report that Jeffrey Epstein molested her at a mansion in Palm Beach. She said a female acquaintance and classmate at Royal Palm Beach High School had taken her to the house to give him a massage in exchange for money.

April: Palm Beach police begin trash pulls at Epstein's home, discovering a telephone message for Epstein with the girl's name on it, and a time that matched the time that she told police she was there. They find the names and phone numbers of other girls on message slips in his trash.

October: With the police probe in full swing, one of Epstein's assistants calls one of the girls just as she is being questioned by police. Investigators begin interviewing more girls, as well as Epstein's butlers, who tell them that Epstein had frequent visits from girls throughout the day. On Oct. 20, they execute a search warrant at his house on El Brillo Way in Palm Beach.

2006
May: Police sign a probable cause affidavit charging Epstein and two of his assistants with multiple counts of unlawful sex acts with a minor. The Palm Beach state attorney, Barry Krischer, instead refers the case to a grand jury.

June: The grand jury, after hearing from only one girl, returns an indictment of one count of solicitation of prostitution. The charge does not reflect that the victim in question and others were minors.

July: Epstein's powerhouse legal team tries to negotiate a deal with the State Attorney's Office. Lawyers discuss a deferred prosecution in which Epstein would enter a pretrial intervention program and serve no jail time.

July: After pressure from the Palm Beach police chief, the FBI opens a federal investigation, dubbed "Operation Leap Year.'' Documents list the possible crime as "child prostitution.''

November: The FBI begins interviewing potential witnesses and victims from Florida, New York and New Mexico.

2007
May: As the U.S. Attorney's Office prepares to present the case to a federal grand jury, Epstein's attorneys request a meeting to discuss the investigation.

June: A 53-page indictment is prepared by the U.S. Attorney's Office as, simultaneously, plea negotiations are initiated with Epstein's legal team.

July: Grand jury subpoenas are issued for Epstein's computers, which were apparently removed from his Palm Beach home prior to the police search.

August: The U.S. attorney in Miami, Alexander Acosta, enters into direct discussions about the plea agreement; a motion to compel production of Epstein's computers is delayed.

September: Federal prosecutors draw up several federal plea agreements that are rejected by Epstein and his attorneys. Epstein signs a non-prosecution agreement on Sept. 24, but his attorneys continue to delay his court appearance.

October: With the non-prosecution agreement still being debated, Acosta meets with Epstein lawyer Jay Lefkowitz at the West Palm Beach Marriott on Okeechobee Road to discuss finalizing a deal. Among the terms agreed upon: that the victims would not be notified, that the deal would be kept under seal and all grand jury subpoenas would be canceled.

November: Epstein's lawyers object to an addendum to the agreement. The provision called for a special master to appoint an attorney to represent Epstein victims' rights to civil compensation.

December: The two sides continue to debate the addendum. Epstein attorney Kenneth Starr asks for a review of the agreement by the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington, further delaying its execution. Victims are told the investigation is continuing.

2008
January: Epstein attorney, Lefkowitz, calls Acosta, telling him his client will not go through with the agreement because it requires him to register as a sex offender.

February: With the plea negotiations and the Justice Department review still in limbo, the FBI continues its probe, locating more witnesses and evidence.

March: Preparations are made for a new federal grand jury presentation. In court documents, the U.S. Attorney's Office notes that Epstein's victims are being harassed by his lawyers, who are not specifically named.

May: The Justice Department issues finding that, if a plea deal is not reached, Epstein can be federally prosecuted.

June: Epstein's lawyers revisit plea negotiations, and on June 30, Epstein appears in a Palm Beach County courtroom. He pleads guilty to state charges: one count of solicitation of prostitution and one count of solicitation of prostitution with a minor under the age of 18. He is sentenced to 18 months in jail, followed by a year of community control or house arrest. He is adjudicated as a convicted sex offender who must register twice a year in Florida.

Billionaire Jeffrey Epstein arrested and accused of sex trafficking minors, sources say

By Shimon Prokupecz and Sonia Moghe, CNN
Updated 1130 GMT (1930 HKT) July 7, 2019

(CNN)Florida-based billionaire Jeffrey Epstein has been indicted on new charges related to alleged sex crimes involving minors, law enforcement sources told CNN on Saturday.

Epstein was arrested Saturday and is expected to appear in federal court in New York on Monday.
Epstein faces charges brought by US prosecutors in Manhattan, after previously evading similar charges when he secured a non-prosecution deal with federal prosecutors in Miami.

The charges, contained in a sealed indictment, involve alleged sex trafficking crimes committed between 2002 and 2005, according to law enforcement sources. The indictment alleged that the crimes occurred in both New York and Palm Beach, Florida.
A team of federal prosecutors from the Southern District of New York, along with some in the public corruption unit, have been assigned to the case.
Maurene Comey, the daughter of former FBI director James Comey, is one of the prosecutors, according to a source with knowledge of the case.
CNN has reached out to Epstein's lawyer.
The arrest was first reported by the Daily Beast.
In November, the Miami Herald reported that when Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta was a US attorney in Florida, he gave Epstein the "deal of a lifetime." In a sweeping review of the politically connected billionaire's case, the Herald explained how Acosta had made an agreement with Epstein to avoid major repercussions for the hedge fund manager, even though a federal investigation had identified 36 underage victims.

Pedo Epstein arrested 7/6 18:35pm PST

https://nypost.com/2019/07/06/billionaire-pedo-jeffrey-epstein-held-in-manhattan-on-new-underage-sex-case/

Billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein has been arrested in New York in a massive new underage sex trafficking case, The Post has confirmed.

The hedge funder - who twelve years ago wriggled out of similar charges of abusing young girls - must appear in federal court in Manhattan on Monday on charges of trafficking dozens of minors between 2002 and 2005 in New York and Florida, where he has homes, the Daily Beast reported in breaking the story Saturday night.

He was busted in Teterboro Airport in New Jersey, the Miami Herald reported.

About a dozen federal agents meanwhile broke down the door of Epstein's $50 million mansion on East 71st Street on the Upper East Side at around 6:30 p.m. to execute search warrants, witnesses said.

The indictment will be unsealed Monday; it includes additional victims and witnesses who spoke to the Feds in New York over the past several months.

"Oh my God. Finally, finally, finally! Justice!" one of Epstein's previous victims, Michelle Licata, told The Herald. Licata had been molested by Epstein when she was 16 years old, the Herald said.

Epstein had been hit with a mere wrist-slap twelve years ago, after more than 30 underage girls came forward with accounts of being lured by money and threats to his mansions in Palm Beach, Manhattan and his Caribbean Island retreat.

There, they allegedly performed sex acts on the wealthy financier and his powerful friends ranging from erotic massages to statutory rape.

The charges then carried a potential ten years to life in prison.

In 2008, Epstein was allowed to plead guilty to state charges of soliciting only a single minor under the age of 18.

He was sentenced to 18 months in a Florida state jail and the federal investigation was ended.

He served just 13 months of the sentence before returning to the Upper East Side to celebrate his release with his close pal, Britain's Prince Andrew.

"I'm not a sexual predator, I'm an offender - it's the difference between a murderer and a person who steals a bagel," Epstein had cracked to a Post reporter after serving the time.

The plea deal was struck by Miami's then-top federal prosecutor, Alexander Acosta, who is now secretary of labor.

The victims were not notified and the matter was kept under seal, the Herald reported in a bombshell November 2018 expose on the plea deal.

It was one of the most lenient sentences ever given to a serial sex offender in the US, the Herald reported.

FBI investigators had alleged in that probe that between 1999 and 2006, he abused nearly three dozen girls, most of them ages 13 to 16, and most at his Palm Beach mansion.

He also used adult recruiters to help him schedule time with as many as three or four girls a day, the feds alleged.

Jeffrey Epstein Arrested in NYC on Sex Trafficking Charges: Sources

Jeffrey Epstein, a wealthy, politically connected Florida financier, was arrested in New York on Saturday evening on sex trafficking charges, sources tell NBC 4 New York.

Epstein is expected to appear in federal court in Manhattan on Monday, two law enforcement officials said on a condition of anonymity.

Spokesmen for the FBI and the U.S. Attorney Southern District of New York declined to comment.

A 2008 deal ended a federal investigation that could have landed Epstein, now 66, in prison for life. Instead, he was allowed to plead guilty to lesser state charges that resulted in a 13-month jail sentence and required financial settlements to dozens of his victims. He also had to register as a sex offender.

The agreement was overseen by former Miami U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta, who is now President Donald Trump's labor secretary. In the face of intense criticism, Acosta has defended the plea deal as appropriate under the circumstances.

Court documents show at least 40 underage girls were brought into Epstein's Palm Beach mansion for what turned into sexual encounters. Authorities say he had female fixers who would look for suitable girls, some local and others recruited from Eastern Europe and other parts of the world.

Epstein has maintained a home in New York City, a ranch in New Mexico and a private Caribbean island. Some of the girls were brought to those places as well, court documents show.

Epstein is a wealthy hedge fund manager who once counted as friends former President Bill Clinton, Great Britain's Prince Andrew, and Trump, who was his neighbor in Palm Beach at the time.

Meanwhile, the financier flitted among his homes in Palm Beach, New York City, and the Virgin Islands, as well as his secluded Zorro Ranch in Stanley, New Mexico, transporting young women on his private jet to facilitate the sexual abuse that's gone unchecked by authorities, his alleged victims say.
In an announcement planned for Monday the FBI is expected to provide a number for other victims to contact the SDNY.

As early as 2003, Vicky Ward's Vanity Fair profile cracked into Epstein's enigmatic facade and, as Ward noted, revealed "he was definitely not what he claimed to be." Back then, allegations of sexual abuse leveled by one accuser, Maria Farmer, and her family were excised from Ward's piece after Epstein pressured the magazine.
Epstein's bust comes mere months after a federal judge ruled his 2007 non-prosecution agreement-secretly inked under former U.S. Attorney and current Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta-violated federal law by keeping Epstein's victims in the dark. Under the sweetheart deal, Epstein dodged federal charges that might have sent him to prison for life. He instead pleaded guilty to minor state charges in Palm Beach, and served 13 months in a private wing of a county jail, mostly on work release.

Jeffrey Epstein Arrested For Sex Trafficking of Minors: Sources
new arrest it looks like. if this is true
Article dated today

Billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was arrested for allegedly sex trafficking dozens of minors in New York and Florida between 2002 and 2005, and will appear in court in New York on Monday, according to three law enforcement sources. The arrest comes about 12 years after the 66-year-old financier essentially got a slap on the wrist for allegedly molesting dozens of underage girls in Florida.

For more than a decade, Epstein's alleged abuse of minors has been the subject of lawsuits brought by victims, investigations by local and federal authorities, and exposés in the press. But despite the attention cast on his alleged sex crimes, the hedge-funder has managed to avoid any meaningful jail time, let alone federal charges.

The new charges allege that Epstein sexually exploited dozens of underage girls in a now-familiar scheme: paying them cash for "massages" and then molesting or sexually abusing them in his Upper East Side mansion or his palatial residence in Palm Beach. Several employees and associates allegedly recruited the girls for Epstein's abuse, and some victims eventually became recruiters themselves, according to law enforcment. The girls were as young as 14, and Epstein knew they were underage, according to police.

Epstein's attorney, Martin Weinberg, declined to comment when reached by The Daily Beast on Saturday night.

In an era where #MeToo has toppled powerful men, Epstein's name was largely absent from the national conversation, until the Miami Herald published a three-part series on how his wealth, power and influence shielded him from federal prosecution. For years, The Daily Beast reported on Epstein's easy jail sentence and soft treatment by the U.S. Attorney's Office, which ultimately scrapped a 53-page indictment against Epstein. An earlier version of Epstein's plea deal included a 10-year federal sentence-before his star-studded lawyers threatened to go to trial in a case prosecutors feared was unwinnable, in part because Epstein's team dredged up dirt on the victims, including social media posts indicating drug use.

Meanwhile, the financier has flitted among his homes in Palm Beach, New York City, and the Virgin Islands, as well as his secluded Zorro Ranch in Stanley, New Mexico, transporting young women on his private jet to facilitate the sexual abuse that's gone unchecked by authorities, his alleged victims say.

Send The Daily Beast a Tip

Yet, as early as 2003, Vicky Ward's Vanity Fair profile cracked into Epstein's enigmatic facade and, as Ward noted, revealed "he was definitely not what he claimed to be." Back then, allegations of sexual abuse leveled by one accuser, Maria Farmer, and her family were excised from Ward's piece after Epstein pressured the magazine.

Epstein's bust comes mere months after a federal judge ruled his 2007 non-prosecution agreement-secretly inked under former U.S. Attorney and current Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta-violated federal law by keeping Epstein's victims in the dark. Under the sweetheart deal, Epstein dodged federal charges that might have sent him to prison for life. He instead pleaded guilty to minor state charges in Palm Beach, and served 13 months in a private wing of a county jail, mostly on work release.

The alleged victims, who sued the government for violating the Crime Victims' Rights Act, asked the court to rescind Epstein's non-prosecution agreement and called for the feds to hold him criminally liable. The NPA also granted immunity to Epstein's co-conspirators, identified in the document as "including but not limited to Sarah Kellen, Adriana Ross, Lesley Groff, or Nadia Marcinkova."

Epstein reportedly supplied valuable intel to federal investigators in exchange for his lenient plea deal; it's been speculated this information may have been related to Bear Stearns executives' alleged crimes in the lead-up to the 2008 financial crisis.

Jeffrey Epstein Documents Could Expose Powerful Politicians, Businessmen

Topline: A federal appeals court Wednesday ordered that 167 documents in a lawsuit that alleges famously well-connected financier Jeffrey Epstein participated in a sex-trafficking ring should be unsealed-and that many of his powerful friends could be named.

In its 27-page decision, the court cited the public's right to access the case information outweighed the privacy of certain individuals, "including numerous prominent American politicians, powerful business executives, foreign presidents, a well?known Prime Minister, and other world leaders." Virginia Guiffre (now Roberts) filed the lawsuit against Ghislane Maxwell, alleging that she had used her as part of a sex trafficking network of underage girls to Epstein and a number of his famous friends, including his lawyer Alan Dershowitz and Prince Andrew. Both men denied the accusations. Dershowitz has supported unsealing the documents, according to the Daily Beast.

The documents will not be immediately available, as anonymous individuals involved in the case have two weeks to file appeals. The court advised the documents be read carefully. "We therefore urge the media to exercise restraint in covering potentially defamatory allegations, and we caution the public to read such accounts with discernment," wrote the court in its decision.

Key background: Epstein had previously been charged in 2007 in a 53-page indictment. As the Miami Herald revealed in its investigative series "Perversion of Justice," Epstein managed to escape all federal charges through a plea deal that gave him and all of his co-conspirators immunity, with all documents being sealed. Epstein ended up pleading guilty to one state prostitution charge in Florida. He then registered as a sex offender and paid unspecified restitution to three dozen victims identified by the FBI.

The contentious plea deal was orchestrated by U.S. attorney Alexander Acosta, now President Trump's secretary of labor. The Miami Herald's reporting prompted calls for Acosta to resign, but he has remained in his Cabinet post. In February, a U.S. district judge determined federal prosecutors, including Acosta, broke the law by failing to notify victims before Epstein pleaded guilty to the Florida prostution charge. That decision could potentially nullify Epstein's plea deal, opening him up to new federal charges. But prosecutors are challenging this ruling.

Jeffrey Epstein's Unusually Light Plea Deal Must Stand, Justice Department Says
Some of his victims still want their day in court.

By Sara Boboltz
Convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's victims were dealt a loss Monday when the Justice Department determined the New York money manager's lenient plea deal must stand, rejecting a request by victims to prosecute him for molesting dozens of underage girls, The Miami Herald was first to report.
Epstein could have faced up to life in prison after police found evidence showing a pattern of abuse by him at his mansion in Palm Beach, Florida. But a highly controversial 2008 plea agreement, approved by former U.S. Attorney for Miami Alexander Acosta, resulted in a sentence for Epstein of just 13 months in county jail.

In February, U.S. District Judge Kenneth Marra ruled that federal prosecutors working under Acosta had broken the law by concealing the agreement from more than 30 people who accused Epstein of abuse. Acosta now serves in President Donald Trump's Cabinet as secretary of labor.
It will now be up to Marra to decide how to proceed.
Although the victims said the deal violated the Crime Victims' Rights Act because it was initially kept secret from them, prosecutors said that did not mean the agreement should be voided, The Associated Press reported.
Epstein, 66, maintains that he believed the girls had been 18 years old at the time of his sexual encounters with them and that the relations were consensual.
A shocking Miami Herald report published in November detailed the known extent of Epstein's actions, which involved female fixers who allegedly brought the girls to his properties. Reporter Julie K. Brown identified about 80 women who say they were abused by Epstein, and the total number could be much higher.
"He told me he wanted them as young as I could find them,'' Courtney Wild, who said she once served as a fixer for Epstein, told the Herald. "He wanted as many girls as I could get him. It was never enough.''
Epstein once counted Trump and former President Bill Clinton among his many powerful friends, and his legal team included such big names as Alan Dershowitz and Kenneth Starr.
The plea deal also included wording to shield "any potential co-conspirators," making it all the more unusual.
Sources told the Herald that at least 18 women would still like to see Epstein prosecuted.

Interesting comments from Pak……

U.S. Attorney Byung "B.J." Pak argued in a new filing that "setting aside the immunity provisions" of the 2007 deal that let Epstein evade federal sex trafficking charges and plead guilty to a single prostitution charge in Florida state court could cause "unintended harm."

Pak claimed the deal originally granted by former Miami U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta - now President Trump's secretary of labor - helped some victims remain anonymous and still obtain civil settlements from the wealthy financier.

He also claimed Congress failed to outline specific penalties in the Crime Victims' Rights Act, so Epstein's victims have no right to demand any remedies from the government.

Jeffrey Epstein got another break from the government Monday when Justice Department officials said it would be improper to revoke his federal immunity and prosecute the billionaire perv for abusing underage girls.

U.S. Attorney Byung "B.J." Pak argued in a new filing that "setting aside the immunity provisions" of the 2007 deal that let Epstein evade federal sex trafficking charges and plead guilty to a single prostitution charge in Florida state court could cause "unintended harm."

Pak claimed the deal originally granted by former Miami U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta - now President Trump's secretary of labor - helped some victims remain anonymous and still obtain civil settlements from the wealthy financier.

He also claimed Congress failed to outline specific penalties in the Crime Victims' Rights Act, so Epstein's victims have no right to demand any remedies from the government.

One lawyer representing Epstein survivors scoffed at Pak's claims several victims "invoked" the non-prosecution agreement to strike their civil settlements.

"Impossible," lawyer Jack Scarola responded. "The terms of the NPA were actively concealed from the victims. They could not have relied on terms they did not know."

The government said the best way to address the renewed push for federal prosecution is to keep the immunity deal in place but give victims a chance to either meet with prosecutors in private or "participate in a public court proceeding" where they could deliver victim impact statements.

Bradley Edwards, the lead lawyer for victims now suing for prosecution, said Tuesday his clients were disappointed but not surprised by the Justice Department's response.

He said the government "simply refuses" to own up to its mistake in striking Epstein's secret deal behind closed doors without notifying victims.

To make sure Anons are not discussing and digging on Epstein.

Russia collusion is the grand distraction that Trump loves and probably something that he created himself.

It keeps the narrative away from the real investigation that should be taking place. Which is:

WHY DID TRUMP HIRE THE DA THAT GAVE EPSTEIN A SLAP ON THE WRIST, WHEN HE SHOULD BE SERVING LIFE?

Billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein illegally building Virgin Islands compound

Billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein has gotten himself into a new tangle with the law - running afoul of Virgin Islands environmental regulations with construction on his island compound despite a stop work order.

Epstein, a deep-pocketed socialite who has palled around with famous faces that include former President Bill Clinton, allegedly ran a seedy network of underage girls who were often coerced into doing Epstein's sexual bidding.

But Epstein, a hedge fund manager, managed to weasel out of serious consequences for running his pervy syndicate, termed a "sex pyramid scheme" by the Miami Herald.

Despite him having more than 30 victims, in 2008, federal prosecutors quietly dropped charges against Epstein under the direction of then-Miami US Attorney Alexander Acosta, who is now President Trump's labor secretary.

Instead, Epstein was allowed to plead guilty to a state charge and spent 13 months in jail. He is now registered as a Level 3 sex offender.

In February, a federal judge ruled that the prosecutors working the case broke the law by not notifying Epstein's victims that they were cutting him a plea deal.

Epstein, meanwhile, reportedly is building a compound on the 165-acre island of Great St. James, which he purchased in 2016 for $18 million. He lives on the neighboring Little St. James.

The project has been the subject of a stop work order since December, a spokesman for the Virgin Islands Department of Planning and Natural Resources told The Post.
The spokesman confirmed that there has been unauthorized work on the island since the stop work order was issued.

The Virgin Islands Daily News reports that Epstein used a shell company called "Great St. Jim LLC" to purchase a large swath of Great St. James and to apply to the Virgin Islands Department of Planning and Natural Resources to conduct work on the island.

Epstein is building a complex of buildings on the island that include an amphitheater and an "underwater office & pool," the Virgin Islands Daily News Reports, which will all be linked by a private road.

Rachel Chandler is back in the news!

She is now collaborating on a magazine called Hommegirls with designer, Thakoon Panichgul. Thakoon commented "prime age" on Chandler's instagram pic of her with P Diddy when she was 14.

Also, we had George Nader get arrested after Q had dropped the picture of him, Bill Clinton, Tony Podesta, and others swimming at Epstein Island. Q also dropped the link to the article "Trump signs law to punish websites for sex trafficking" and now Nader got busted for distributing child porn. Chandler seems to be one of several child handlers for Epstein and his shit crew. Q also pointed us to the flight logs for the Lolita Express, which are said to reveal many hidden artifacts.

In addition, we now have FISA documents and others becoming unsealed and the Q pic of Chandler said:

If the records become unsealed much will be revealed.
Watch the news for Rachel Chandler.

Also, Ray Chandler = Allison Mack x 100

We may have the Epstein HONEYPOT collection used for blackmail.

Prince Andrew of England was also phtotgraphed with Chandler. POTUS was just made a trip to see the royal family. None are safe. The prince pic is labeled GM and GM is commonly in Epstein's flight logs.

The Q pic also bring up , "Follow the ATTORNEY". Alex Acosta was Epstein's attorney and has recently had his top aid removed (Nick Geale). It is possible Acosta was under the microscope while in the labor secretary position. Mick Mulvaney has been putting Acosta in his place recently (taking rulemaking process out of Acosta's hands) as revelations continue to come out about the Epstein Island case looking into why Epstein got off so easily.


(Desription of Hommegirls from article): Panichgul wants Hommegirls to educate and inspire women to wear menswear and to be a place where those who are fans can share their inspirations and approaches. The focus is on personal style, not trends. "This is not gender fluidity, per se, this is about women owning their sexuality," he said. "There are certain nuances about men's clothes that make you feel cooler and every woman knows what that means."

Jeffrey Epstein's Purchase From Department of Justice May Be Voided

Jeffrey Epstein, a 66-year-old billionaire hedge fund manager, sexually assaulted dozens of underage girls at his Palm Beach mansion in the 2000s. His wealth allowed him to make a handsome purchase at that one-stop shopping center that sells justice to the rich - the Orwellian-named Department of Justice.

At the time the government sold Epstein his justice, in 2008, the FBI had identified three dozen girls, most between 13 to 16 years old, who gave Epstein massages that turned into sex acts. He and others had a recruitment plan, which resembled a pyramid scheme, to get children to his mansion.

Instead of being federally prosecuted on sex trafficking charges and, if convicted, sent to prison for life, Epstein was allowed to plead guilty in state court to prostitution charges. He served 13 months in the Palm Beach County jail and, while there, was given work release that allowed him to come and go from jail almost daily. He was freed in 2009.

Former Miami federal prosecutor Alexander Acosta, who is now President Trump's secretary of labor, negotiated the sale to Epstein - crafting a secret non-prosecution deal in 2008.

The total cost to Epstein is unknown but I would hazard a guess that it cost him north of $10 million - a fraction of his wealth - and was distributed in various nooks and crannies, where cash placed in pockets is better than seeing an old perv in prison.

Last November, the Miami Herald published a series, "Perversion of Justice," [It might have been titled "Sale of Justice"] that revealed how Acosta and other prosecutors worked to concoct and conceal the deal and revealed the extent of Epstein's crimes [which was planned to be kept secret to avoid public scrutiny and prevent victims from opposing the deal.] The Herald's investigation identified 80 women who were possible underage victims of Epstein, located around the world.

The Herald has not uncovered the actual purchase price paid for justice, and who got what, but it is evident, from their report, that Epstein's wealth - and his wealth alone - allowed him to buy a commodity often sold at the Department of Justice - freedom.

Alexander Acosta claims he was 'too aggressive' in controversial prosecution of billionaire sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein

Acosta has been criticized for his handling of the 2008 case, which resulted in Epstein's conviction on two counts of prostitution. Epstein initially faced a 53-page federal indictment for crimes related in sex-trafficking and the abuse of dozens of women, many underage. A Miami Herald investigation into the case published last year portrayed Acosta as succumbing to pressure to limit the prosecution.

Federal judge Kenneth Marra ruled in February that the Epstein plea deal violated the Crime Victim's Rights Act because of the "decision to conceal the existence of the [agreement] and mislead the victims to believe that federal prosecution was still a possibility."

The same month, the Justice Department's Office of Professional Responsibility announced it had launched a probe into whether Acosta's actions as U.S. attorney amounted to professional misconduct.

Wilson was not convinced, arguing he acted in "blatant violation" of the act. "When faced with criticism about this case you have hidden behind prosecutorial discretion, that you were just part of a prosecution team. Your actions suggests that you had some confusion about which team you were on," she said.

Acosta has repeatedly defended his action in the case in appearances before the Education and Labor Committee, arguing most recently in April that the victims got restitution in the case.

Beautiful trifecta: New Labor Department rule great for workers, great for employers, bad for Obama

Workers and businesses are thriving under the Trump economy. Friday's jobs report heralded nearly 200,000 new jobs, and the unemployment rate is an incredibly low 3.8%. The newest Department of Labor proposed rule should help workers and businesses even more and remove another Obama labor legacy.

The Department of Labor just announced this week a new rule for joint employer regulation. Joint employers exist when workers have two employers who control their work schedules, wages, or hiring. For example, a company could request workers from a staffing agency, but the company controls the pay and work schedules of the employees. If two employers are joint employers, both companies could be sued for minimum wage and overtime violations under the Fair Labor Standards Act. Liberals have been trying to expand the definition of joint employer for years and hold more businesses liable for indirect violations, which has created confusion and cost jobs and revenue.

Employers have been confused about who is a joint employer since Jan. 20, 2016, when the Department of Labor under President Barack Obama issued an administrator's interpretation. Unlike the new proposed rule, the AI was not rule-making and did not have a notice and comment period. The administrator's interpretation broadly defined joint employer.

However, Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta announced on June 7, 2017, the withdrawal of the 2016 administrator's interpretation. Now, the Department of Labor has issued a new proposed rule, which introduces a clear four-question test that ends the confusion and reduces the number of lawsuits. The new rule also includes examples to help courts, employers, and workers determine who is a joint employer. For example, two restaurants that are part of the same franchise are not joint employers if they are managed by different franchisees. However, the restaurants could become joint employers if the restaurants coordinate on the worker's schedule and jointly decide the terms and conditions of employment, e.g. pay rate. As Acosta correctly says.

Interestingly, this DOL proposed rule follows the announcement of the National Labor Relations Board's new proposed rule on joint employer under the National Labor Relations Act. The NLRB made this announcement on Sept. 13, 2018. The NLRB proposed a new rule in 2018 because the NLRB under Obama had expanded the definition of joint employer as well. The American Action Forum had estimated that the Obama-era NLRB rule would result in 1.7 million fewer jobs. If implemented, both rules will have a large and positive impact on the economy. These rules would primarily affect franchises, and there are more than 733,000 franchises in the United States. This business model has created 7.6 million jobs and indirectly supported 13.3 million jobs. In addition, franchises directly account for $404.6 billion in GDP and indirectly account for $925.9 billion. While the Obama administration tried to limit the franchise business model, the Trump administration welcomes the jobs and revenue they create.

Labor Secretary Ambushed Over Epstein Plea Deal in House Budget Meeting

U.S. Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta was confronted in a House Appropriations subcommittee meeting on April 3 about his role in a 2008 plea arrangement involving alleged child rapist Jeffrey Epstein.

Acosta was the U.S. Attorney for southern Florida at the time, while Epstein-a billionaire financier-was accused of operating an international child sex ring at his Palm Beach, Florida, mansion and 72-acre private island estate in the Caribbean.

Epstein could have received life in prison under human trafficking laws; instead, he pleaded guilty to two state felony charges of prostitution and served only 13 months in the Palm Beach County jail.

"This isn't the first time you've ignored human trafficking," Rep. Katherine Clark (D-Mass.) told Acosta.

The purpose of the committee meeting was to discuss President Donald Trump's 2020 Labor Department budget request, but it took a turn when, after an hour of departmental funding inquiries from other members, Clark cited proposed cuts to a program linked to the federal government's inter-agency task force on human trafficking. From there, she launched into an attack.

"When you were the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida, your office investigated Jeffrey Epstein and found that there had been a sexual abuse pyramid scheme that involved at least 36 underage girls ranging from age 14 to 17. This is horrifying stuff," Clark said.

"Do you think he's a monster?" she asked.

"He engaged in vile crimes," Acosta responded.

Clark recounted how Epstein and his associates recruited girls from shopping malls, and invited social guests to participate in alleged sexual assaults and rapes. She also explained that child prostitution charges don't exist under federal law, only child sex trafficking, and that each offense carries a sentence ranging from 10 years to life in prison.

"Epstein should have been looking at a potential sentence of 360 years, at a minimum. But that's not what happened," said Clark.

The exchange grew even more tense when Clark suggested that Acosta is unfit to serve as a presidential cabinet member.

Acosta pressed on plea deal in Florida sex trafficking case

WASHINGTON - Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta was confronted by Democratic lawmakers Wednesday over his decision as a federal prosecutor to sign off on a plea deal in a sex trafficking case involving multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein.

The exchange at a House Appropriations subcommittee hearing marked the first time Acosta has been questioned publicly about the case since a judge ruled in February that the 2008 arrangement he oversaw as a U.S. attorney in South Florida had broken the law because his office failed to properly notify victims.

"You chose wealthy and well-connected people, child rapists, over the victims in this case," said Rep. Katherine Clark, D-Mass., who noted that "the hideous truth has come out" about Acosta's role in the case.

Clark cited the Epstein case as she questioned Acosta on his department's decision to propose cutting the budget for one of its divisions tasked with combating human trafficking from $68 million to $18.5 million.
Epstein's plea agreement allowed him to instead plead guilty to two state felony solicitation charges, casting the victims as prostitutes. The deal led to a 13-month stay in county jail during which Epstein was allowed to leave custody six days a week, 12 hours a day, for work.


Acosta, 50, has received support from his boss, President Donald Trump, who in February called him a "fantastic labor secretary." On Wednesday, Acosta argued that Epstein would have faced even lighter punishment had the plea deal not been struck.

"I understand the frustration," he said. "I think it's important for people to know he was going to get off with no jail time or restitution. It was the work of our office that resulted in him going to jail. It was the work of our office that resulted in him having to register as a sex offender."

The deal has received renewed media and legal scrutiny in recent months. In February, Judge Kenneth Marra of the Federal District Court in West Palm Beach ruled that the failure by Acosta's office to notify victims in advance of the deal prevented the victims from being able to exercise their legal right to object before the deal took effect. Marra has set a deadline of May 10 for attorneys for two victims, who filed the lawsuit that led to the ruling, and attorneys for Epstein to propose an alternative deal.

The ruling could ultimately nullify the plea deal.

Federal judge overseeing key lawsuit relating to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein dies
17 hours ago

A U.S. District Court judge in New York who was presiding over a lawsuit involving a wealthy, Clinton-connected financier and sex offender died Sunday at the age of 96.

Robert W. Sweet died at his home in Ketchum, Idaho, while on vacation, The New York Times reported. He was appointed by President Jimmy Carter in 1978. Politico reported that Sweet was presiding over the lawsuit that followed what many saw as an unusual plea deal for Jeffrey Epstein.

Alexander Acosta, the current U.S. Secretary of Labor, negotiated what critics called a sweetheart, potentially corrupt plea deal with Jeffrey Epstein when he was the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida. The arrangement required Epstein to pay restitution to dozens of victims, but offered a variety of unusual concessions as part of a non-prosecution agreement.

Epstein, now 66, reached a nonprosecution deal in 2008 with Acosta's office to secretly end a federal sex abuse investigation involving at least 40 teenage girls that could have landed him behind bars for life. He instead pleaded guilty to state charges, spent 13 months in jail, paid settlements to victims and is a registered sex offender.

Politico reported that Sweet was overseeing a suit leveled by one of Epstein's alleged victims against one of his longtime friends.

Judge involved in Epstein case has died.

By JOSH GERSTEIN
03/25/2019 03:33 PM EDT

An elderly federal judge presiding over a key lawsuit relating to financier pedophile Jeffrey Epstein died Sunday, adding another twist to the drawn-out legal saga and to efforts to unseal still-secret details about the conduct of Epstein, his enablers and one of his accusers.

Manhattan-based U.S. District Court Judge Robert Sweet passed away Sunday at age 96, the court announced. Sweet was appointed by President Jimmy Carter in 1978, confirmed that same year and continued to hear and rule on cases through the last few months.

Sweet was assigned to a lawsuit that emerged from the aftermath of Epstein's controversial plea deal a decade ago, in which he escaped federal charges by pleading guilty to two prostitution-related offenses in state court. Epstein ended up spending 13 months in jail, with daily furloughs that allowed him to work in his office.

Critics have denounced the plea deal and the government official who negotiated it: Alexander Acosta, then the top federal prosecutor in south Florida and now U.S. secretary of Labor. The sentence, critics say, was excessively lenient for a man who faced allegations of procuring dozens of teenage girls for sex acts.

The sex trafficking lawsuit that Sweet oversaw pitted one of Epstein's alleged victims, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, against a longtime friend of Epstein and heir to a newspaper fortune, Ghislaine Maxwell.

"QAnon is attacking a random woman [Rachel Chandler] in a disturbing and dangerous way"
by Mike Rothschild- Mar 21 at 9:59AM | Last updated Mar 21 at 10:04AM

When anonymous conspiracy avatar QAnon blew another prediction, this time one that promised unspecified "PAIN" at the end of a 21-day countdown, the poster's followers do what they always do: took it in stride.

But disturbingly, the QAnon poster refocused the subject of their cryptic posts away from the deep state and the ever-approaching Great Awakening and onto individual people. First came a series of portraits of Obama-era officials that followed posts referencing words like "kill" and "ammunition." This came just days after the 8chan-driven massacre in Christchurch, New Zealand-and the posts were seen by many as a kind of hit list.

But after that, Q became hyperfocused on one particular person, and it's someone that has no political footprint whatsoever: a photographer and casting director named Rachel Chandler, a member of the newspaper-dynasty Chandler family.

[Rothschild probably has his facts wrong here]

Q made a seemingly endless stream of posts referencing Chandler, insinuating that she took a 2017 picture of Bill Clinton and registered child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein (whose light prison sentence handed down by current Trump cabinet official Alexander Acosta is currently under investigation) hanging out together in a pool.

Beyond that, QAnon accused Chandler of "procuring" "girls" for Epstein, having her photography studio funded by elite Satanists who used it for rituals, flaunting Epstein's "sex and torture room victims" with her pictures, having a link to a still-unexplained (yet supposedly horrific) event at the Standard Hotel in West Hollywood, of being "100 times" worse than cult-linked actress Allison Mack, and of being "the key" to the massive trafficking ring at the heart of Pizzagate.

All told, QAnon made nearly 30 posts referencing Chandler in some way, finishing with a link to the FBI's tip website. The bullshit implication Q wants to make is clear: This woman is involved in things so terrible and evil that she must immediately be taken down by federal authorities. Or worse.

This isn't even the first time QAnon has gone after Chandler, who did not return a request for comment from the Daily Dot. The poster attacked her in April 2018, linking her to supposed sex-trafficking related pictures on Instagram.

This isn't even the first time QAnon has gone after Chandler, who did not return a request for comment from the Daily Dot. The poster attacked her in April 2018, linking her to supposed sex-trafficking related pictures on Instagram.
Why would QAnon, who has focused almost entirely to this point on political machinations and grand conspiracies at the highest levels, spend so much energy on someone with no seeming relation to any of it?

To be clear, Chandler has not been accused of any wrongdoing by any law enforcement agency, nor is she known to be linked to Epstein, a disgraced financier who spent over a year in jail for soliciting sex from a minor, or anything else Q accuses of her.

There's no evidence she took the pool picture that QAnon claims proves she's linked to Epstein, and it doesn't even feature him-though it does feature George Nader, the convicted pedophile who's providing evidence in the Mueller investigation regarding Donald Trump's link to meetings with Russian officials.

And yet, Chandler's name has been dragged into the conspiracy so completely that the first page of a Google search shows nothing but QAnon-related content, while five of the top six videos that come up when searching her name are by QAnon acolytes.

They've even declared they have proof she's committed murder.

Her photos and history are being dissected on 8chan, Voat, and Twitter, linking her to any number of crimes, real and imaginary. And her name is dragged through the digital mud, accused of murder, trafficking, and Satanism.

The accusations against Chandler are typical of the way conspiracy theories in general and QAnon in particular work. They are almost totally unsubstantiated, and in some cases, haven't even articulated what they're accusing the person of. QAnon claims she's linked to any number of horrible things but doesn't actually say what those things are or provide evidence.

Q mentioned the Standard Hotel without ever giving any evidence that anything out of the ordinary happened there.

Over and over, the poster has thrown out context-free nuggets of information that say nothing other than what Q followers want them to say. Teasing out the actual substance of the claims is left up to the faceless horde of QAnon bakers who dissect the posts to find their hidden meaning.

As with the Obama officials Q posted about, the implication is clear: This woman did something horrible, and something should be done about it. And with more people in the movement inspired to commit acts of violence, it's the most dangerous thing someone like Q could do.

#6 Federal Court Moves to Unseal Documents in Jeffrey Epstein Alleged Sex Trafficking Operation
On Monday, a federal court of appeals in New York gave multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein and his former partner Ghislaine Maxwell until March 19 to establish good cause as to why the documents from their prior case should remain sealed. If they fail to do so, the summary judgement and supporting documents will be made public. The court also reserved a ruling on additional documents in the civil case, which includes discovery materials.

Just a few weeks ago, on February 22, a federal judge ruled that the deal made back in 2008 was illegal because former Miami U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta kept it from Epstein's victims, which is in violation of the Crime Victims' Rights Act. They concealed a plea agreement from more than 30 underage victims who had been sexually abused.

George Bush Sr "Groomed & Played With" Little Boys Says His Deputy Assistant Secretary

Dr. Steve Pieczenik, a former Department of State official, has implicated George Bush Sr as a sexual abuser of young boys.
Dr. Steve Pieczenik, a former Department of State official, has implicated George Bush Sr as a sexual abuser of young boys.

Pieczenik held many roles within US politics, including serving as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State under Henry Kissinger, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Regan, and George H.W. Bush. He also worked for numerous agencies, including the CIA.

Collective Evolution reports: In one of Steve's latest videos, he implicates one of his former employers, George H.W. Bush, who he served in the capacity of Deputy Assistant Secretary.

When talking about the subject, he states,

"It has been rampant in our government, if you remember Bush Sr. had a whole group of young Hispanic men who he groomed and played with. At the same time, Hillary and Bill Clinton along with their friend Mr. Epstein went down to the Bahamas and they were molesting and utilizing young girls and boys to have sexual pleasures, but nothing was done about the fact that Jeffrey Epstein had been guilty and convicted of that crime."

The latest news regarding Epstein is that federal judge Kenneth A. Marra declared that a 2008 plea deal made by federal prosecutor Alexander Acosta in the sexual assault case of Jeffery Epstein was against the law.

Epstein is close with not only the Clinton's, but the royal family as well as other people in high places of power. As far back as 2007, he was accused of assembling a large, cult-like network of underage girls - with the help of young female recruiters - to coerce into having sexual acts behind the walls of his opulent waterfront mansion in Florida as often as three times a day, according to Palm Beach police.

In the video below, Pieczenik goes into how this issue is rampant in Florida after the recent news that New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft was charged with two counts of soliciting prostitution with a Florida spa tied to an international human trafficking ring.

Federal court may reveal trove of evidence to the public in Epstein sex trafficking case

This could damage the reputations of a lot of powerful people

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit is headed towards releasing a trove of evidence in a controversial case involving alleged sex trafficking by billionaire Jeffrey Epstein.

The Miami Herald filed the motion to unseal documents related to a settlement made in 2017 by Epstein's former partner Ghislaine Maxwell and a woman accusing Maxwell of coercing her into a prostitution operation involving Epstein.

"We're grateful that the court ruled the summary judgment papers are open and they are moving to expedite having them unsealed,'' said the Miami Herald's lawyer Sanford Bohrer.

The court will make a decision about releasing the documents after lawyers for Maxwell make their case against it.

Epstein agreed to plead guilty to two counts of prostitution under a controversial agreement made in 2008, but numerous other parties were granted immunity from federal prosecution.

The agreement was made under former Miami U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta, who is now working as the secretary for the Department of Labor in President Donald Trump's administration.

Epstein served 13 months in the Palm Beach County jail, but was allowed to leave for 12 hours a day for a work release program.

"Mr. Epstein has gone to prison and made enormous monetary settlements relying on his negotiated agreement," said his lawyers in response to the possibility of documents being unsealed. "He is entitled to finality like every other defendant."

In February a federal judge ruled that the non-prosecution agreement violated the Crime Victims' Rights Act because the victims were not informed about the plea deal.

Court weighs unsealing records that could reveal new details of Jeffrey Epstein sex abuse

(FOX News JUST NOW: Alan Dershowitz wants the sealed documents in the Jeffrey Epstein case to go public.)

The girls who were abused by Jeffrey Epstein and the cops who championed their cause remain angry over what they regard as a gross injustice, while Epstein's employees and those who engineered his non-prosecution agreement have prospered.

Privacy rights versus press freedoms took center stage Wednesday at an explosive federal appeals court hearing in New York, where lawyers argued to unseal confidential court files that could reveal evidence of an underage sex trafficking operation allegedly run by New York multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein and his partner, British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reserved judgment in the case, but the panel suggested it was leaning toward the release to the public of vast portions of the court record. The file on the case, which was settled in 2017, contains more than 1,000 documents, lawyers said during oral arguments led by the Miami Herald, which seeks to open the entire file.

Most of the documents, including court orders and motions, were filed under seal or heavily redacted, similar to other cases in New York and Florida involving the wealthy, politically connected money manager. Epstein, now 66, was not a party to the lawsuit, which was filed against Maxwell in 2015 by Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who claimed she was recruited by the pair to perform massages on them when she was 16 and known as Virginia Roberts. Giuffre claims she and other girls were sexually abused and pimped out to a number of wealthy influential people from 1999 to 2002.

The Herald said that while some redactions of personal information, including the names of other possible underage victims, are appropriate, the blanket sealing of the case violated the First Amendment, which grants citizens a presumptive right of access to court records, except in the rarest of circumstances.

The Herald's lawyer, Sanford Bohrer, told the three-judge appeals court panel that the case should be unsealed in its entirety because the law provides the public with access in order to hold legal institutions accountable and to maintain confidence that they will protect the most vulnerable in society.

Two other parties to the appeal, attorneys for Harvard lawyer Alan Dershowitz and conservative social media blogger Michael Cernovich, also argued to unseal the entire case file. Dershowitz's lawyer, Andrew G. Celli Jr., wanted the court to release three documents immediately, saying they were necessary to exonerate his client, who has been accused of being involved in Epstein's crimes.

Dershowitz, 81, was among a team of lawyers who represented Epstein when he came under criminal investigation in Palm Beach in 2005. Epstein was accused by more than three dozen girls, most of them 13 to 16, of luring them to his mansion to give him massages that turned into sex acts. He then used those same girls to recruit more girls over a period of several years, court and police records show.

In 2008, Epstein received an unusually lenient plea deal that gave him and an untold number of others who were not cited by name immunity from federal prosecution. That plea deal was brokered under former Miami U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta, who is currently President Donald Trump's secretary of labor. Acosta's handling of the case is now under investigation by the Justice Department.

Last week, a federal judge ruled that the agreement was illegal because Acosta and other prosecutors failed to inform Epstein's victims about the deal in violation of the Crime Victims' Rights Act.

Maxwell, the daughter of the late British publishing baron Robert Maxwell, has never been charged and has denied that she was involved in any crimes.

Dershowitz has disputed allegations that he was involved. He maintains the court record in the case contains evidence that Giuffre was writing a book manuscript at the time she publicly accused him of having sex with her when she was underage.

Prior to the hearing, Dershowitz's attorney had suggested that the appeals panel might want to allow him to present part of his argument outside the presence of opposing lawyers, the news media and the public. The judges did not grant or even address that suggestion, made in a letter to the court.

Maxwell, the daughter of the late British publishing baron Robert Maxwell, has never been charged and has denied that she was involved in any crimes.

Dershowitz has disputed allegations that he was involved. He maintains the court record in the case contains evidence that Giuffre was writing a book manuscript at the time she publicly accused him of having sex with her when she was underage.

Prior to the hearing, Dershowitz's attorney had suggested that the appeals panel might want to allow him to present part of his argument outside the presence of opposing lawyers, the news media and the public. The judges did not grant or even address that suggestion, made in a letter to the court.

After the hearing, Dershowitz held a news conference, calling for a federal criminal investigation into Giuffre and her lawyers, calling them liars. The spectacle continued outside the Manhattan courthouse, with Dershowitz claiming that Giuffre and her lawyer, David Boies, conspired to lie about him for financial gain.

The case at the heart of Wednesday's appeal is a defamation claim. Giuffre's lawyer, Sigrid McCawley, told the Herald that the case was settled in her client's favor in 2017. The amount of the settlement was confidential.

Sp_Screen Shot 2018-11-12 at 8.48.53 PM.png
Ghislaine Maxwell was sued for slander after calling Virginia Roberts Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein's accusers, a liar. Maxwell, a close associate of Epstein, sought to have documents from the court case remain sealed.

Cernovich's lawyer, Marc Randazza, pointed out that the file contains "pages and pages'' of blacked-out paragraphs.

"I'd expect this from a [Freedom of Information Act] request to the CIA,'' he quipped to the judges during the hearing.

Ty Gee, a Denver lawyer representing Ghislaine Maxwell, however, argued that nothing in the case should be made public, since several witnesses provided statements during the litigation under the presumption that they would be kept confidential. He explained that the district court judge who presided over the case, Robert W. Sweet, was "overwhelmed'' because he was bombarded by attorneys with requests to seal document after document, to the point where all the parties simply agreed to seal nearly everything to move the case along.

Bohrer, however, said that isn't the way the court system should work.

"The judge abdicated his role as a judge,'' Bohrer said, adding that each request should have been considered individually, given that transparency is generally in the public's interest.

Bohrer suggested that the appeals court assign a district court judge to oversee a process to consider the release of documents, a suggestion that the panel seemed to agree on.

Circuit Court Judge Jose A. Cabranes asked Gee whether he would agree to release any documents now that the case is settled. Gee said nothing should be made public.

"You can't possibly be serious,'' Cabranes responded in disbelief.

Part of the record contains details about Maxwell's sex life, and it would be a violation of her privacy to unseal those documents since they involve consenting adults, Gee said.

Lawyer Paul Cassell, who represents Giuffre, said his client wants the entire record unsealed so that the public knows the full extent of Epstein's and Maxwell's sex trafficking operation.

In one of the more unusual arguments in the case, Cassell said Cernovich was a self-described "slut shamer'' who was working in concert with Dershowitz to discredit his client, who now lives in Australia.

That description later prompted Judge Rosemary S. Pooler to jokingly ask Dershowitz's lawyer whether his client was part of a "slut shaming cabal.''

Celli said Dershowitz has endured more than two years of ridicule over the allegations by Giuffre, which were largely made in court documents that are privileged - that is, shielded from a defamation claim.

Dershowitz has publicly baited her to accuse him in public so that he can sue her for slander.

Miami U.S. Attorney's Office recuses itself from Jeffrey Epstein case

ust days before a Friday deadline, the Justice Department has reassigned the Jeffrey Epstein victims' rights case to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Atlanta, the attorneys representing Epstein's victims said Tuesday.

Miami federal prosecutors, in a letter to attorneys for the victims on Monday, said they had recused themselves from the case, according to Brad Edwards and Jack Scarola, representing Epstein's victims.

The reassignment means that the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Georgia, Byung J. "BJay" Pak, will oversee the case for the government. Pak, a former Georgia lawmaker, was appointed Atlanta's chief federal prosecutor by President Donald Trump in October 2017.

The Justice Department is still under a Friday deadline for prosecutors to confer with the victims' attorneys in an effort to settle the case. On Feb. 22, U.S. District Judge Kenneth A. Marra in Palm Beach County ruled that federal prosecutors, under former Miami U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta, broke the law when they concealed a plea agreement from more than 30 underage girls in Palm Beach who had been sexually abused by Epstein, a multimillionaire New York hedge fund manager.

Marra stopped short of voiding the agreement, which granted Epstein and an untold number of accomplices immunity from federal prosecution for sex trafficking crimes, provided Epstein plead guilty to minor charges in state court. At the time of the plea deal, federal prosecutors had gathered enough evidence against Epstein to write a 53-page federal indictment, court records show.

The story behind a Palm Beach sex offender's remarkable deal

Palm Beach multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein is a free man, despite sexually abusing dozens of underage girls according to police and prosecutors. His victims have never had a voice, until now.
By Emily Michot | Julie K. Brown

An investigation by the Miami Herald, "Perversion of Justice,'' found that after Acosta met privately with one of Epstein's lawyers, the government agreed to seal the plea agreement so that no one - not the victims, not even the state court judge who sentenced Epstein - would know the full extent of his crimes. Epstein, now 66, was allowed to plead guilty to prostitution charges and served 13 months in the Palm Beach County jail, where he was given liberal work release, and allowed to travel to New York and his private island in the Caribbean during his subsequent house arrest. He was released in 2009, and now divides his time between New York, Palm Beach and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The Herald interviewed four of Epstein's victims, who were as young as 13 at the time they were abused by Epstein. They said they felt betrayed by state and federal prosecutors, who treated them like prostitutes instead of victims. Two of them sued the federal government in 2008 under the Crime Victims' Rights Act, which grants crime victims the right to be informed about plea deals and to confer with prosecutors.

Marra, in a 33-page opinion, said prosecutors not only intentionally violated the Crime Victims' Rights Act, but they misled the girls into believing that the FBI's sex trafficking case against Epstein was ongoing - when, in fact, prosecutors had secretly closed it after sealing the plea bargain from the public record.

Marra, noting that he reviewed affidavits, depositions and interrogatories, said "Epstein worked in concert with others to obtain minors not only for his own sexual gratification, but also for the sexual gratification of others.''

The victims' attorneys - Edwards, Scarola and Paul Cassell - have asked the Justice Department to throw out Epstein's plea agreement and reopen the criminal investigation.

Edwards, who brought the victims' rights case against the government, said transferring the case to another jurisdiction is a prudent decision.

House Democrats want Jeffrey Epstein sex case reopened

Fourteen Democratic members of Congress have asked the U.S. attorney general to reopen the criminal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, the 66-year-old Palm Beach hedge fund manager accused of sexually trafficking underage girls.

The group, led by Florida Democrats Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Lois Frankel, and Jackie Speier of California, asked President Donald Trump's new attorney general, William Barr, to reopen the controversial non-prosecution agreement under which Epstein and a group of unidentified co-conspirators received federal immunity for sex trafficking crimes.

The deal, negotiated by then-Miami U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta - who is now President Donald Trump's labor secretary - allowed Epstein to plead guilty in state court to two felony prostitution charges. He served 13 months in the Palm Beach County jail, but had his private driver pick him up at the jail six days a week to go to his downtown office in West Palm Beach as part of an unusual work-release arrangement.

Q Research General #6814: THE TRUTH WILL ALWAYS WIN Edition

Ben Sasse Calls On DOJ To Prosecute Epstein

Nebraska Republican Sen. Ben Sasse called on the Department of Justice to re-open its non-prosecution agreement with disgraced billionaire Jeffrey Epstein.

A federal judge ruled Thursday that a 2008 agreement between prosecutors and Epstein violated federal law. On Friday, Sasse released a statement calling for the 2008 agreement to be revisited so that the convicted child molester and accused sex trafficker can finally be brought to justice.

"Jeffrey Epstein is a monster and his victims deserve justice," Sasse began. He continued:

I'm relieved that the court agrees that it was wrong to hide this child rapist's pathetically soft deal from his victims, in violation of federal law. The fact that it's taken this long to get this far is heartbreaking and infuriating. The Department of Justice should use this opportunity to reopen its non-prosecution agreement so that Epstein and anyone else who abused these children are held accountable.

Epstein reached a plea agreement with federal prosecutors in 2008 to serve 13 months in prison on a work-release program, which U.S. District Judge Kenneth Marra ruled Thursday violated the Crime Victims' Rights Act by keeping the agreement secret from Epstein's victims.

"Epstein used paid employees to find and bring minor girls to him," Marra wrote, according to The Miami Herald. "Epstein worked in concert with others to obtain minors not only for his own sexual gratification, but also for the sexual gratification of others."

The Justice Department launched an investigation earlier this month into its handling of the Epstein case.

Among the prosecutors whom Judge Marra said violated the law with the agreement was then-U.S. attorney and current Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta. Acosta has come under fire for his role in the plea deal, with some calling for him to be removed from President Trump's cabinet.

The White House said Friday that they are "looking into" the situation.

From what I understand about the complexities, opaqueness and length of counterintelligence investigations, I'd be surprised if Mueller was able to uncover the breadth of this conspiracy. More digging will have to be done. But there'll be crimes. And we better get to see them.

Analysis from reviewing the history:

- Tenure surrounded in controversy with (Torture Rulings etc)
(2007) - At height of Epstein case he resigns (pressure from Dem's - political controversy not related to Epstein, that we know of). Two short-term acting AG's, then Michael Mukasey is AG thru 2009. Turmoil at DOJ during that time period. Was that - By design?
(2005 -2009) - Alexander Acosta: US Attorney Southern Dist. Florida
- (2007) - Cuts secret (Fed Prosecution Immunity deal) with Epstein.
(Where exactly he fits in all this = TBD. But appears Epstein was "handed off" to Mueller)
* Plus: Not disclosing the (Fed Immunity Deal) to victims seems to have (set up) the grounds to re-visit the old mister [PedoIsland Epstein] case.

Feds broke law in hush-hush Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking plea deal, Florida judge rules

A Florida judge has ruled financier Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking case was grossly mishandled by federal prosecutors, who hid a sweetheart plea deal from over 30 of his underage victims, violating federal law in the process.

"Epstein worked in concert with others to obtain minors not only for his own sexual gratification, but also for the sexual gratification of others," US District Judge Kenneth Marra wrote in a ruling that found federal prosecutors had violated the Crime Victims' Rights Act by concealing Epstein's plea deal from his victims, who could have contested the non-prosecution agreement that saw the hedge-funder spend just 13 months in an open-door 'prison' for abusing hundreds of underage girls.

Federal prosecutors, led by then-Southern District Attorney for Florida Alexander Acosta, now the Trump administration's Secretary of Labor, colluded with Epstein's lawyers to conceal both the sentencing agreement and the scope of his crimes from victims and the public, Marra said, while victims were misled into thinking they still had a chance to be heard in court.

Evidence -enough "to fill a 53-page indictment with federal sex-crime charges"- confirmed Epstein and his employees had been recruiting girls from as close as Florida and as far as Eastern Europe to sexually service the financier and his rich and powerful friends, Marra said. Those friends reportedly included Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, Prince Andrew, Alan Dershowitz, and other movers and shakers in business, law, finance, and government.

The judge did not issue a punishment, instead setting a 15-day deadline for victims and the government to decide on a resolution moving forward. As much as many of Epstein's victims still want him jailed, even prosecuting attorney Brad Edwards admits the non-prosecution agreement is unlikely to be overturned.

Should other victims step forward in other jurisdictions, however, Epstein can still be prosecuted - there is no statute of limitations for sex trafficking.

"Instead of admitting what they did, and doing the right thing, [the government] spent 11 years fighting these girls," Edwards said.

"This was probably the most unjust outcome of any case I've been involved in in 40 years," Michael Reiter, former Palm Beach police chief, told the Miami Herald. 

The US Justice Department is conducting its own probe of whether federal prosecutors were guilty of wrongdoing. A representative for Acosta's Department of Labor told CNBC that "the office's decisions were approved by departmental leadership and followed departmental procedures."

BREAKING: Federal prosecutors broke law in Jeffrey Epstein case, judge rules. Story still developing.

A judge ruled Thursday that federal prosecutors - among them, U.S. Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta - broke federal law when they signed a plea agreement with a wealthy, politically connected sex trafficker and concealed it from more than 30 of his underage victims.

U.S. District Judge Kenneth A. Marra, in a 33-page opinion, said that the evidence he reviewed showed that Jeffrey Epstein had been operating an international sex operation in which he and others recruited underage girls - not only in Florida - but from overseas, in violation of federal law.

"Epstein used paid employees to find and bring minor girls to him.,'' wrote Marra, who is based in Palm Beach County. "Epstein worked in concert with others to obtain minors not only for his own sexual gratification, but also for the sexual gratification of others.''

Instead of prosecuting Epstein under federal sex trafficking laws, Acosta, then the U.S. attorney in Miami, helped negotiate a non-prosecution agreement that gave Epstein and his co-conspirators immunity from federal prosecution. Epstein, who lived in a Palm Beach mansion, was allowed to quietly plead guilty in state court to two prostitution charges and served just 13 months in the county jail. His accomplices, some of whom have never been identified, were never charged.

Acosta agreed to seal the deal, which meant that none of Epstein's victims, who were mostly 13 to 16 years old at the time of the abuse, were told about it until it was too late for them to appear at his sentencing and possibly reject the deal. Upon learning that Epstein had pleaded guilty without their knowledge, two of his victims filed a lawsuit in the Southern District of Florida in 2008, claiming that prosecutors violated the Crime Victims' Rights Act, which grants victims of federal crimes a series of rights, including the ability to confer with prosecutors about a possible plea deal.

Marra agreed, saying that while prosecutors had the right to resolve the case in any way they saw fit, they violated the law by hiding the agreement from Epstein's victims. Marra's decision capped 11 years of litigation - which included the release of a trove of emails showing how Acosta and other prosecutors worked with Epstein's high profile lawyers to conceal the deal - and the scope of Epstein's crimes - from both his victims and the public.

"Particularly problematic was the Government's decision to conceal the existence of the [agreement] and mislead the victims to believe that federal prosecution was still a possibility,'' Marra wrote. "When the Government gives information to victims, it cannot be misleading. While the Government spent untold hours negotiating the terms and implications of the [agreement] with Epstein's attorneys, scant information was shared with victims.''

The U.S. attorney's office in Miami declined to comment.

Brad Edwards, the Fort Lauderdale attorney who brought the case, said he was elated at the judge's ruling, but admitted he is bitter that the case took 11 years to litigate, blaming federal prosecutors for needlessly dragging out the case when they could have remedied their error when it was brought to their attention in 2008.

"The Government aligned themselves with Epstein, working against his victims, for 11 years,'' Edwards said. "Yes, this is a huge victory, but to make his victims suffer for 11 years, this should not have happened. Instead of admitting what they did, and doing the right thing, they spent 11 years fighting these girls.''

While the victims ultimately would like to see Epstein go to jail, the judge's ruling stopped short of issuing a remedy or punishment. He gave the government and victims 15 days to confer with each other to come up with a resolution. It's unclear what that resolution would be.

Edwards conceded that Epstein's sentence isn't likely to be overturned. He was released in 2009.

But victims' rights advocates say that other charges can still be brought against Epstein if more victims come forward in other jurisdictions. There has been no statute of limitations for sex trafficking since 2002.

The decision follows a three-part series published by the Miami Herald in November, "Perversion of Justice,'' which detailed how federal prosecutors worked in concert with Epstein's lawyers to arrange the deal.

Since then, the U.S. Department of Justice has launched a probe into whether federal prosecutors committed any wrongdoing.

I got copy of the Judge's order (Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 435). Here are noteworthy names with related context:

Roland or Rolando

Special Agent E. Nesbitt Kuyrkendall
Special Agent Jason Richards

—
Andy [i.e., AUSA Andrew Laurie] recommended that some of the timing issues be addressed only in the state agreement, so that it isn't obvious to the judge that we are trying to create federal jurisdiction for prison purposes.
I will include our standard language regarding resolving all criminal liability and I will mention 'co-conspirators,' but I would prefer not to highlight for the judge all of the other crimes and all of the other persons that we could charge. Also, we do not have the power to bind Immigration . . . there is no plan to try to proceed on any immigration charges against either
—
On September 21, 2007, Palm Beach County State Attorney Barry Krischer wrote the line prosecutor about the proposed agreement and added: "Glad we could get this worked out for reasons I won't put in writing. After this is resolved I would love to buy you a cup at Starbucks and have a conversation."
—
if Epstein successfully fulfills all of the terms and conditions of this agreement, the United States also agrees that it will not institute any criminal charges against any potential co-conspirators of Epstein, including but not limited to Sarah Kellen, Adriana Ross, Lesley Groff, or Nadia Marcinkova."
—
It was a deviation from the Government's standard practice to negotiate with defense counsel about the extent of crime victim notifications.
On September 24, 2007, the Office sent an email to Lefkowitz:
Thank you, Jay. I have forwarded your message only to [United States Attorney] Alex [Acosta], Andy, and Roland. I don't anticipate it going any further than that. When I receive the originals, I will sign and return one copy to you. The other will be placed in the case file, which will be kept confidential since it also contains identifying information about the girls.
When we reach an agreement about the attorney representative for the girls, we can discuss what I can tell him and the girls about the agreement. I know that Andy promised Chief Reiter an update when a resolution was achieved.... Rolando is calling, but Rolando knows not to tell Chief Reiter about the money issue, just about what crimes Mr. Epstein is pleading guilty to and the amount of time that has been agreed to. Rolando also is telling Chief Reiter not to disclose the outcome to anyone.
—
On September 26, 2007, the line prosecutor sent an e-mail to Lefkowitz in which she stated: "Hi Jay - Can you give me a call at 561-[xxx-xxxx] this morning? I am meeting with the agents and want to give them their marching orders regarding what they can tell the girls."
—
Also on that same day, the line prosecutor sent an email to state prosecutors Lanna Belohlavek and Barry Krischer: "Can you let me know when Mr. Epstein is going to enter his guilty plea and what judge that will be in front of? I know the agents and I would really like to be there, 'incognito.'"
—
On October 24, 2007, AUSA Jeff Sloman sent a letter to Jay Lefkowitz, proposing an addendum to the NPA clarifying the procedures for the third-party representative for the victims under the NPA's compensation provisions. On October 25, 2007, AUSA Sloman sent a letter to Retired Judge Davis about selecting an attorney to represent the victims under the NPA's compensation procedure.
—
On about October 26 or 27, 2007, Special Agents E. Nesbitt Kuyrkendall and Jason Richards met in person with Jane Doe 1. They explained that Epstein would plead guilty to state charges, he would be required to register as a sex offender for life, and he had made certain concessions related to the payment of damages. According to Jane Doe 1, the Agents did not explain that the NPA had already been signed.
In contrast, Special Agent Kuyrkendall stated that the meeting with Jane Doe 1 was to advise her of the main terms of the NPA.
—
On December 7, 2007, defense attorney Lilly Ann Sanchez sent a letter to AUSA Sloman, requesting "that the Office hold off on sending any victim notification letters."

so this is why Epstein got such a light sentence. I know we had figured out he was an FBI Informant, or given FBI Informant status to get him a light sentence, but I always assumed it was in regards to his underage ring. He was an informant for something completely unrelated, and his sick pedo got a sweet sentence for it


Jeffrey Epstein Became a Government Informant as Part of Sweetheart Plea Deal

In exchange for a sweetheart plea deal that buried dozens of allegations by underage girls of sexual abuse at his Palm Beach, Florida, mansion, disgraced hedge-fund manager Jeffrey Epstein provided federal investigators with "unspecified information," according to records cited in a Tuesday report from the Miami Herald. Epstein, who has long faced allegations of coercion and sex trafficking, could have faced life in prison in 2007, when his lawyer met with Miami federal prosecutor Alexander Acosta, who is now President Trump's labor secretary. The pair struck a deal that only required Epstein to serve 13 months in a county jail and shuttered an FBI probe into his alleged crimes. But as part of that deal, according to records cited by the Herald, Epstein provided "valuable consideration"-in other words, critical information-to federal investigators. There's no direct evidence of what that information was, but records show that at around the same time, Epstein was considered to be a crucial witness during the trial of two Bear Stearns executives who faced allegations of corporate securities fraud during the 2008 financial crisis.

I guess most of us assumed he was an FBI Informant for his own underage shenanigans, but this article I just found makes it appear as if he was an Informant for something completely unrelated, but this is how he got his 13 month sentence for the underage prostitution thing:

Horowitz: Change law to let me probe Acosta's Jeffrey Epstein plea deal

The Justice Department's inspector general wants lawmakers to give him the authority to investigate a decade-old plea deal in which Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta allegedly allowed an accused sex offender to skirt the harshest punishment for crimes against teens.

"Your letter raises important questions about the resolution of this case by department attorneys," DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz said in a Jan. 29 letter to lawmakers. "However, the OIG does not currently have jurisdiction over matters involving allegations of misconduct relating to DOJ attorneys' handling of litigation or legal decisions."

Horowitz called on the Senate to take up a bill (H.R. 202) recently passed by the House. He said that legislation would give him the authority to investigate alleged prosecutorial misconduct.

The swamp. You have to clean up the FBI and the DOJ before you can get anything done.

>Lenient plea deal for Jeffrey Epstein in deal struck by former Federal Prosecutor now Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta.

Acosta approved a highly unusual non-prosecution agreement granting Epstein, four others, and "any potential co-conspirators" federal immunity and kept the deal secret from Epstein's victims.

"When Congress returns to work in January, we're asking the Senate to quickly pass the Inspector General Access Act of 2017, House Bill 3154. This would give DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz a clear path to investigate Acosta now - if he wishes to do so.

The Justice Department's inspector general thoroughly made the case for the legislation in a previously unreported letter sent to Congress at the end of November. "There is no principled reason to have two standards of oversight at DOJ-one for federal agents, who are subject to statutorily independent and transparent oversight by the OIG [Office of Inspector General], and one for federal prosecutors, who are not for allegations of professional misconduct. This is particularly true given the extraordinary power that Department lawyers have to charge individuals with crimes, to seek incarceration, and to pursue the seizure of assets and property," Inspector General Horowitz wrote.

Epstein sex abuse victims press judge for decision on tossing lenient plea deal



Victims of accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, who have waged a decade-long fight for justice, on Monday pressed a federal judge to finally take action on their motion to throw out a controversial plea agreement that gave the politically connected multimillionaire immunity from federal prosecution.

Lawyers for Epstein's victims filed the request in the Southern District of Florida, asking judge Kenneth Marra to either make a decision or set a date for a hearing on the motion to vacate the deal. That request, which many legal experts consider a long shot, has been awaiting his ruling for more than a year.

Epstein, 65, was given what victims' advocates consider one of the most lenient plea deals for a serial sex offender in history. The New York hedge fund manager faced a possible life sentence for molesting dozens - and perhaps hundreds - of underage girls at his Palm Beach mansion from 2001 to 2006, according to federal court documents.

But in 2008, then-Miami U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta signed a non-prosecution agreement that allowed Epstein to plead guilty to two prostitution charges in state court. In exchange, the FBI dropped its probe into whether Epstein was operating an international sex trafficking network, and also granted federal immunity to his co-conspirators - four of whom were identified, and others who have never been named.

Epstein served 13 months in the Palm Beach County Jail, where he was let out almost every day for work release under the supervision of Palm Beach sheriff's deputies whom he hired as his own private security detail. He was released in 2009.

Billionaire perv amassed network of underage girls
https://torontosun.com/news/world/billionaire-perv-amassed-network-of-underage-girls

JEFFREY EPSTEIN KNEW EVERYBODY
From former President Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, a Trump cabinet member, Prince Andrew, society maven Ghislaine Maxwell and a coterie of other socialites, business poohbahs and entertainment industry big wheels.
And these powerful people kept Epstein rolling in his bog of slime.
Now, the Miami Herald reports the sickening extent Epstein's powerful friends kept him from doing hard time.

QUOTE
"I don't think anyone has been told the truth about what Jeffrey Epstein did," Epstein victim Michelle Licata told the Herald. "He ruined my life and a lot of girl's lives. People need to know what he did and why he wasn't prosecuted so it never happens again."
FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES
In 2007, Epstein - now charged with a slew of sex crimes - did a deal that would see him serve just 13 months in the Palm Beach County Jail on two prostitution beefs.
His four co-accused? They got immunity. No names.
His dealmaker was a Republican fixer and U.S. Attorney in Miami, Alexander Acosta, now Secretary of Labour in the Trump administration.According to the Herald, Acosta's moves effectively scuttled a federal probe into Epstein.
The billionaire's lawyers dictated the terms of the deal.
One prosecutor wondered how the U.S. could "basically let the criminal defendant to draw up the deal."
FUN WITH MATH
In addition, the deal effectively whitewashed how many girls Epstein molested between 2001 and 2005. And it also limited the amount of coverage the case received.
"In never consulting with the victims, and keeping it secret, it showed that someone with money can buy his way out of anything," said lawyer Bradley Edwards, who is representing two Epstein victims.
OBSTRUCTING JUSTICE
Detectives believed all along that powerful elements in Palm Beach were doing their utmost to obstruct the probe.
"This was not a 'he said, she said' situation. This was 50-something 'shes' and one 'he' and all the 'shes' basically told the same story," former Palm Beach police chief Michael Reiter told the Herald.
EASY DOES IT
As for jail, sex offender Epstein was kept in his own wing of the jail and would leave for up to 12 hours at a time on "work release." He allegedly breached many conditions of his parole but was not taken to task for them.
In Palm Beach, sex offenders do not qualify for work release.
THE VICTIMS
"Jeffrey preyed on girls who were in a bad way, girls who were basically homeless. He went after girls who he thought no one would listen to and he was right," said Courtney Wild, who met Epstein when she was 14.
He liked his girls aged 13 to 16, white, prepubescent appearing and easily manipulated.
Epstein would pay the girls to give him massages, they would undress and then perform sexual acts. He would then pay them to bring him more girls. It was $200 for a massage.
Other times, Epstein's "Ukrainian sex slave" would join in for a threesome, penetrating the girls with a strap-on sex toy while the billionaire watched.
The Herald identified around 80 girls who were victimized by Epstein. One is a Hollywood star.
THE BIG APPLE
In New York - where the filthy financier has a home - DA Cyrus Vance bent over backwards in 2011 to try and change Epstein's sex offender status.
He had been designated as likely to reoffend. The judge in the case was flabbergasted.
"I'm a little overwhelmed because I have never seen a prosecutor's office do anything like this," Judge Rick Pickholtz said, adding the DA would unlikely be going to bat for Joe Average the same way.

WHAT NEXT?
A civil trial is slated Dec. 4 and another slated for next year will target the secretive rich man's deal that saved Epstein from hard time - and real recriminations.

How a future Trump Cabinet member gave a serial sex abuser the deal of a lifetime

On a muggy October morning in 2007, Miami's top federal prosecutor, Alexander Acosta, had a breakfast appointment with a former colleague, Washington, D.C., attorney Jay Lefkowitz.

It was an unusual meeting for the then-38-year-old prosecutor, a rising Republican star who had served in several White House posts before being named U.S. attorney in Miami by President George W. Bush.

Instead of meeting at the prosecutor's Miami headquarters, the two men - both with professional roots in the prestigious Washington law firm of Kirkland & Ellis - convened at the Marriott in West Palm Beach, about 70 miles away. For Lefkowitz, 44, a U.S. special envoy to North Korea and corporate lawyer, the meeting was critical.

His client, Palm Beach multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein, 54, was accused of assembling a large, cult-like network of underage girls - with the help of young female recruiters - to coerce into having sex acts behind the walls of his opulent waterfront mansion as often as three times a day, the Town of Palm Beach police found.

Jeffrey Epstein had a little black book filled with the names and personal phone numbers of some of the world's wealthiest and most influential people, from Bill Clinton and Donald Trump to actors, actresses, scientists and business tycoons.

A money manager for the super-rich, Epstein had two private jets, the largest single residence in Manhattan, an island in the Caribbean, a ranch in New Mexico and a waterfront estate in Florida.

But Epstein also had an obsession.

For years, Epstein lured an endless stream of teenage girls to his Palm Beach mansion, offering to pay them for massages. Instead, police say, for years he coerced middle and high school girls into engaging in sex acts with him and others.

As evidence emerged that there were victims and witnesses outside of Palm Beach, the FBI began an investigation in 2006 into whether Epstein and others employed by him were involved in underage sex trafficking.

But in 2007, despite substantial evidence that corroborated the girls' stories of abuse by Epstein, the U.S. attorney in Miami, Alexander Acosta, signed off on a secret deal for the multimillionaire, one that ensured he would never spend a day in prison.

Acosta, now President Donald Trump's secretary of labor, agreed to seal the agreement so that no one - not even Epstein's victims - would know the full extent of his crimes or who was involved.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Jury selection is getting started in West Palm Beach in a long-running lawsuit involving a wealthy, well-connected financier accused of sexually abusing dozens of teenage girls.

An attorney who represented some victims claims financier Jeffrey Epstein used his own lawsuit to maliciously target the lawyer and damage his reputation. Attorney Bradley Edwards seeks unspecified damages from Epstein in the case beginning Tuesday.

The 65-year-old Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to state sex charges, served just over a year in jail and became a registered sex offender. In a secret deal with federal prosecutors led by now-Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta, Epstein avoided a federal indictment that could have meant a life prison sentence.

Witness lists indicate some victims could testify in the lawsuit trial. It is expected to last about 10 days.

WPTV confirms that Epstein has brought his own civil lawsuit against an attorney representing some of the women.

Records Show Bid to Block Info From Epstein Exposé

MANHATTAN (CN) - After the Miami Herald ran a bombshell exposé on disgraced billionaire Jeffrey Epstein's sex crimes on Wednesday, a New York federal judge released a transcript showing an effort to keep the paper from learning about another accuser's case.

The Herald's three-part investigative series "Perversion of Justice" reported that President Donald Trump's Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta - whose agency monitors human trafficking - helped Epstein's star-studded defense team land their client a sweetheart plea deal that protected his co-conspirators, kept him out of federal prison, and hid the details of the deal from dozens of alleged victims.

A decade before becoming a Trump cabinet member, Acosta had been Epstein's federal prosecutor, and the series suggests an extensive cover-up from the financier's powerful associates in the political and legal worlds ripe for exposure in the #MeToo era.

As the Herald went to print this morning, U.S. Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn released a transcript from a hearing earlier this month in a sex-trafficking lawsuit involving one of the accusers not mentioned in their series: Barcelona-based accuser Sarah Ransome.

"So, I have a series of letters from the parties regarding the dispute over the confidentiality order," Netburn began the Nov. 7 telephone conference.

Attorneys for Epstein's associate Ghislaine Maxwell, a British-born socialite accused of organizing his underage sex parties, sought a protective order covering information about "sexual activity or sexual contact."

Ransome's attorney Sigrid McCawley, from the powerhouse law firm Boies Schiller & Flexner, thought the language far too broad.

"The concern I have with the broadbrush of sexual activity is that the case we brought is obviously in violation under the Sexual Trafficking Act, so it would encompass essentially everything that's going to transpire in the case," McCawley warned the judge.

Before stepping forward to the New York Times, Ransome filed her lawsuit anonymously as Jane Doe 43, but her attorney McCawley clarified that her client did not have many confidentiality concerns since coming out publicly as one of Epstein's accusers.

"And while that - there may be a way to modify that, for example, sexual activity as it relates to minors or something in that regard if we are going to have a witness who was abused by, or allegedly abused by the defendants when they were underage, I will be willing to talk about something like that would cover or protect from that issue," McCawley said. "But to have a very broad definition of any sexual activity would - you know, everything we would be filing would be almost entirely under seal."

Epstein pedophile scandal: Prince Andrew at risk once more as new court case begins

The Royal Family are being dragged back into the Jeffrey Epstein pedophile scandal, as a photo of the Queen's son, Prince Andrew, with an alleged 'underage prostitute' is listed as an exhibit in a new US court case.

Victims of the American billionaire sex offender, Epstein, are to tell a Florida courtroom their stories of sexual abuse, Tuesday.

One witness, who may be called to the stand at Palm Beach County Court, is Virginia Roberts who claims that was she was both forced to have sex with Epstein and that she was "loaned out" to perform sex acts on his friends.

Roberts alleges that those friends include Prince Andrew, Duke of York, a claim the Royal has consistently denied.

The photograph shows the Prince with his arm around Roberts' waist. It was taken at a London residence in March 2001, at which time Roberts would have been 17.

A Buckingham Palace spokesperson stated: "It is emphatically denied The Duke of York had any form of sexual contact or relationship with Virginia Roberts."

Prince Andrew was photographed with the convicted sex offender, Epstein, following his release, leading to the Royal losing his role as a UK trade envoy.

The Epstein scandal has reached into the heart of the American establishment. Politicians from both parties, alongside men from the Hollywood and business elite, are listed on the flight logs of Epstein's private jet, dubbed the 'Lolita Express.'

The plane would take regular journeys to Epstein's private Caribbean island, on the flight log included illustrious names, including ex-US President Bill Clinton and disgraced actor Kevin Spacey.

Another hit piece insinuating POTUS

Alan Dershowitz still provides legal advice to serial pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, he confirmed to Axios.

What he's saying: "He has called me a couple of times about legal issues, because I'm still technically his lawyer," Dershowitz told me in a phone interview on Saturday. "But I haven't had any social, or any other kind of contact. … You never stop being a person's lawyer."

Background: Dershowitz helped Epstein get a sweetheart plea deal from then-U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta (now Donald Trump's labor secretary and a rumored long-shot contender for attorney general).

A bombshell Miami Herald investigative series last week highlighted for the first time the extent of Epstein's alleged crimes and the soft treatment he received from federal prosecutors.
The Palm Beach multimillionaire would "serve just 13 months in the county jail, but the deal - called a non-prosecution agreement - essentially shut down an ongoing FBI probe into whether there were more victims and other powerful people who took part in Epstein's sex crimes," according to a Miami Herald examination ofthousands of emails, court documents and FBI records.

Dozens of women alleged that Epstein molested and raped them when they were underaged using a sophisticated human trafficking network. A civil trial is scheduled to begin on Tuesday in Palm Beach County that may finally let these women tell their stories in court.

Behind the scenes: While he was allegedly raping teenage girls, Epstein cultivated cozy relationships with America's elites.

Bill Clinton flew on Epstein's plane, nicknamed the "Lolita Express," numerous times, according to flight logs.
And Donald Trump, in a profile with New York magazinewritten several years before the police caught up with Epstein, praised his friend as a "terrific guy." "It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do," Trump said of Epstein, "and many of them are on the younger side."
Dershowitz was also friendly with Epstein before the broader public knew he was a pedophile.

Dershowitz confirmed to me that he received a massage at Epstein's Palm Beach home, adding that the woman who provided it was of legal age.

"What happened was I, um, he lent us, this was well before any of this thing came out, he lent us his house once. And I was there, my grandchildren were there, my daughter was there, and we all got massages."
"And, um, it was therapeutic. I had a therapeutic massage with an old old Russian, but I never never … and that was part of when we had his house for about a week during I think it was Christmas vacation."
"Believe me, if I had known that anything improper had ever taken place in that house, I never would have allowed my children, my grandchildren, my wife, my daughter-in-law, my son, to have spent time there. I can tell you categorically there were no inappropriate pictures, no inappropriate anythings. It was like any other house."

One of Epstein's accusers, Virginia Roberts, has claimed Dershowitz had sex with her when she was underage. Dershowitz has denied the allegationand told the Miami Herald "the story was 100 percent flatly categorically made-up" so "she could get money."

Wasserman Schultz calls for DOJ inspector general to probe Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta

by Sean Higgins | November 30, 2018 01:59 PM
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., is calling on the Justice Department's Office of the Inspector General to investigate Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta for corruption.

She claims that Acosta's actions as U.S. attorney in Miami in handling the case of a rich political donor and sexual predator named Jeffrey Epstein warrant the probe. She is currently circulating a letter among House colleagues to formally request a probe.

"Based on newly reported documents and a group of brave women coming forward to share their stories, it appears that, as a federal prosecutor, Labor Secretary Alex Acosta gave a sweetheart deal to a wealthy and well-connected serial sex offender, and hid it from dozens of victims, some of whom were still coming forward," the lawmaker said, calling Acosta's actions "unacceptable for any public official, especially a Cabinet secretary who now oversees sexual harassment prevention efforts in the workplace."

The congresswoman's office said the request was being made to the Justice Department's OIG because it involved Acosta's actions while he was a department employee. The letter was still being circulated and could be sent either later today or Monday.

Acosta has been previously criticized for his handling of the investigation into Epstein, who was convicted on two counts of prostitution in 2007 and served 13 months in county jail. Critics argue the penalty was far too light given the allegations that Epstein was involved in sex-trafficking and had abused dozens of women, many underage. He initially faced a 53-page federal indictment for crimes relating to that.

The case was the subject of a long investigative piece published this week by the Miami Herald, in which many of Epstein's victims expressed anger over how it was resolved, especially that the details of the plea deal were initially kept secret. The article portrayed Acosta as bowing to pressure from Epstein's lawyers to limit the prosecution. Epstein was a key federal witness at about the same time in a case against a pair of Bear Stearns executives who were being charged with securities fraud.

A source in Wasserman Schultz's office said the Miami Herald's article raised new questions regarding Acosta's actions in the case. Emails show that Acosta and another federal prosecutor, A. Marie Villafana, agreed to several demands by Epstein's attorneys that would limit publicity surrounding the case. For example, while federal prosecutors had identified three dozen underage victims, none were present at Epstein's June 30, 2008, sentencing in state court in Palm Beach County. Most didn't even learn of the sentencing until they heard it on the news.

"This matter has been publicly addressed previously, including during (Acosta's Senate) confirmation hearings. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida has defended the actions in this case across three administrations," said a DOL spokesman.

During his Senate confirmation as labor secretary in 2017, Acosta defended his actions as part of a reasonable plea deal: "At the end of the day, based on the evidence, professionals within a prosecutor's office decided that a plea that guarantees someone goes to jail, that guarantees he register generally [as a sexual predator] and guarantees other outcomes, is a good thing."

Mainstream Media Finally Reporting on How the Elite Gave Billionaire Pedophile Jeffrey Epstein a "Deal of a Lifetime"

For years, the Free Thought Project has been set on exposing the cozy relationship between billionaire convicted pedophile Jeffery Epstein and high-level establishment insiders. And, for years, we've been one of only a few voices out there willing to report on this corruption and depravity inside politics. That is, until now.

This week, in a bombshell report out of the Miami Herald, Epstein's ties to the past administrations-as well as the current one-were laid out for the world to see. Instead of ignoring it, however, this time, mainstream media outlets like CNN picked up the story and ran with it.

Last year, the Free Thought Project reported on Trump's pick for Labor Secretary, Alexander Acosta. As TFTP noted, former U.S. Representative, Cynthia McKinney, was none too pleased with this confirmation, tweeting shortly after the news,

How a future Trump Cabinet member gave a serial sex abuser the deal of a lifetime

"Now, more than a decade later, two unrelated civil lawsuits - one set for trial on Dec. 4 - could reveal more about Epstein's crimes. The Dec. 4 case, in Palm Beach County state court, involves Epstein and Edwards, whom Epstein had accused of legal misdeeds in representing several victims. The case is noteworthy because it will mark the first time that Epstein's victims will have their day in court, and several of them are scheduled to testify."

I was really confused when reading Anon's comments about Trump hiring Acosta and wondered if I had missed something. I realised why when I actually read the stories as I had never previously heard of Alexander Acosta before.

Apart from his work with Epstein, he has worked on some very interesting cases that are currently relevant.

Here's a snippet:
One case Acosta oversaw during his time in this position involved Ali Shaygan, a doctor who was accused of illegally prescribing painkillers. Shaygan was acquitted, but what was notable about this case was that it was discovered during the proceedings that three prosecutors and a Drug Enforcement Administration official had secretly recorded conversations with Shaygan's attorney, David O. Markus. At the time, Acosta said that he was taking steps to ensure this did not happen again.
Acosta also oversaw the case against UBS, a Switzerland bank which was accused of helping Americans evade taxes. The bank paid a $780 million settlement and agreed to hand over the names of some of their clients, according to The Washington Post.

I find it interesting that the Secretary of Labor is also an Acosta: Alexander Acosta.
I did some digging to see if there were some connection between Alexander and Jim.
All I found is that Alexander is a native of Miami, a decedent of Cuban immigrants.
Jim is a native of Virginia, his father is also a Cuban immigrant, and he has an Aunt in Miami.
Most of this info came from Wiki.
I haven't yet been able to find a direct connection (cousins?) between the two.
Even if there is a familial connection, it doesn't necessarily mean that Jim, or even

Trump administration set to scrap much of Obama's labor legacy in 2019

The Trump administration will release rewritten versions of two major Obama-era labor rules early next year, administration officials say: The 40 hour-a-week overtime pay rule and a rule determining when corporations can be held legally liable for workplace violations by their franchisees. The changes would undo much of Obama's legacy on labor law. Both are eagerly awaited by business groups. The administration has added both to its fall regulatory agenda, setting the likely announcement sometime by March.

The new rules will cap two years in which the Trump administration has systematically torn down much Obama's work to make federal rules and regulations more union-friendly. Most of what Obama did involved reinterpreting existing rules rather than shepherding new laws through Congress, meaning that the Trump administration just needed to re-re-interpret them. "Much of President Obama's legacy was written in sand. Instead of pursuing bipartisan legislation and working with congress, his administration ruled via regulation knowing that congressmen and senators would never go along," said F. Vincent Vernuccio, senior fellow at the free-market Mackinac Center. "Obama's labor rules are the perfect example of this end run around congress."

The reliance on administrative action, rather than legislative, cuts both ways - the Trump administration has used rulemaking extensively, too, to pursue its aims. But business groups argue the Trump administration is being more methodical and precise about following that process to the letter and that, accordingly, its efforts are likely to prove more lasting. "Anything done through a rulemaking, generally speaking, can be undone," said Patrick Hedren, vice president for labor policy at the National Association of Manufacturers. "That applies to anything done in the Obama administration or the Trump administration." He added: "That said, when agencies do a good job of talking with the public and taking input from all sides, all sectors, then they do a better job in the final rule. Then it becomes much tougher as practical matter for a future administration to say it wants to go in a different direction." Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta formally announced earlier this year that his department would revisit the Obama administration's expansion of the number of workers covered by the federal overtime rule. The prior administration said the rule covered any employee who makes up to $47,000 annually, more than twice the level under previous administrations.

Obama's version of the rule was struck down by a Texas court in 2016. To ensure it remains down, a new version will come out in January or February, according to administration sources speaking anonymously. The new rule will set the cut-off level below Obama's $47,000 level, although it is unclear where exactly the new level will be set. Acosta has told Congress that while the Obama administration put it too high, the old level of $23,000 had not kept pace with the economy and an increase is merited.

I think it could be possible.
I was digging earlier on a relationship between Jim Acosta and Secretary Rene Alexander Acosta (Sec. of Labor). Both of their parents are immigrants from Cuba. Jim's parents settled in Virginia and Alex's parents settled in Miami.
I found an article from 2016 that Jim wrote regarding a trip he made to Cuba in 2009. In that article he stated that he stopped to visit his Aunt in Miami.
So, Alex's family and Jim's Aunt both in Miami seems to indicate a possible familial relationship. Jim as WH correspondent and Alex as Sec. of Labor, seems a bit too much of a coinkidink.

New Trump Options for Escaping ACA Can Lower Cost of Care, Not Just Cost of Coverage

The Department of Labor has finalized a rule allowing more options outside of the failing and exorbitantly priced "Affordable Care Act" plans for some 15 million Americans who are self-employed, their 25 million employees, and millions more family members.
The ruling would allow these individuals greater flexibility to band together in Association Health Plans (AHPs). "AHPs are about more choice, more access, and more coverage," explained Department of Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta following the release of the rule.
It is estimated that by 2022 AHP-run plans would cost $8,700 to $10,800 less per person per year than individual market plans, according to an Avalere study.
Reducing premium cost isn't the only potential advantage for participants in AHPs. "To maximize the impact AHPs can have on lowering costs, the plans should shun arrangements with big insurance, and self-fund instead," stated the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS).

Cutting out the middlemen from the patient-doctor relationship means dollars are more likely to be spent on actual care instead of, for example, preauthorizations, utilization review, appealing claims denials, and other administrative tasks imposed by third-party payers.
Self-funded arrangements would also increase the market demand for transparent pricing, as pioneered at the Surgery Center of Oklahoma, where posted prices are often one-tenth the list price of procedures at hospital facilities. Transparency not only pushes down prices, but increases overall patient and physician satisfaction, as shown in a recent study from Johns Hopkins University. Patients benefit when allowed options for medical care without first being forced to pay an entity such as UnitedHealth Group, which surpassed $200 billion in revenue for the first time in 2017.

Direct Primary Care is another innovative model demonstrating the power of excising third parties, resulting in lower costs for both routine and chronic care, and related services like imaging, labs, and prescriptions.

"We applaud this increased freedom from swamp-care, and look forward to further steps that will empower patients to control their own spending and care," concludes AAPS.

There are now more job openings than unemployed workers in the US

There are now more job vacancies than unemployed workers to fill them in the U.S. for the first time since 2000.

Data released on Tuesday by the Labor Department showed a record 6.7 million job openings in the U.S. in April, a slight increase from 6.63 million in March.

The data also showed just 6.35 million workers categorized as unemployed, down from 6.59 million in March.

"Never before have we had an economy where the number of open jobs exceeds the number of job seekers," Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta said, according to the Los Angeles Times. "This administration is committed to ensuring that all Americans have the necessary skills to access good, family-sustaining jobs."

U.S. Attorney for Southern District of Florida
Acosta during his tenure as U.S. Attorney

In 2005, Acosta began serving as U.S. Attorney for Southern District of Florida, where his office prosecuted the lobbyist Jack Abramoff, the terrorism suspect José Padilla, the founders of the Cali Cartel, and Charles McArther Emmanuel, the son of Liberia's former leader.[18]

The District also targeted white collar crime, prosecuting several bank-related cases, including one against Swiss bank UBS. The case resulted in UBS paying $780 million in fines, and for the first time in history, the bank provided the United States with the names of individuals who were using secret Swiss bank accounts to avoid U.S. taxes.[19]

Other notable cases during his tenure include the corruption prosecution of Palm Beach County Commission Chairman Tony Masilotti, Palm Beach County Commissioner Warren Newell, Palm Beach County Commissioner Mary McCarty[20], and Broward Sheriff Ken Jenne; the conviction of Cali Cartel founders Miguel and Gilberto Rodríguez Orejuela, for the importation of 200,000 kilos of cocaine, which resulted in a $2.1 billion forfeiture; and the white-collar crime prosecutions of executives connected to Hamilton Bank.[21]

Acosta also emphasized health-care fraud prosecutions. Under Acosta's leadership the District prosecuted more than 700 individuals, responsible for a total of more than $2 billion in Medicare fraud.[22]
