FBI Docs: Jeffrey Epstein Had 'Protection' From Deep State, Courts & Political Officials

The FBI needed to arrest Jeffrey Epstein at a beauty pageant that he was judging in 2007, but the U.S. Attorney was out of town and wasn't ready to have him charged, according to a report published this week by the Department of Justice.

Alex Acosta, then the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida and later the secretary of Trump's Labor Department, was 'out of town at a conference' so the assistant U.S. Attorney who was wanting to charge Epstein and have him arrested was told 'no.'

The FBI's supervisory special agent was 'extremely upset' regarding the missed chance.

In May 2007, Marie Villafaña, who was the head prosecutor on the case, filed a prosecution memo saying she wanted Epstein to face up to 210 months, or 17 and a half years, in prison for allegations that he sexually abused young girls and many women.

According to the report, Villafaña 'intended to file charges by May 15, 2007 and the FBI plotted to arrest Epstein shortly thereafter.' But she hadn't received the authorization to indict Epstein.

On May 14 Villafaña told others via email that Epstein was supposed to fly to New Jersey from the Virgin Islands, and requested filing charges the next day.

The answer 'no,' according to the report. Her boss Acosta needed to take his time making sure he is comfortable before proceeding.'

The case had been waiting for a long time, and one prosecutor was required to know what Villafaña's 'rush' was at that point.

Villafaña 'could not seem to 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,' she stated in the report.

Unbeknownst to his claimed victims, in 2008 Epstein's lawyers would make an agreement with Acosta under which the billionaire would face only state charges and the federal investigation would be concluded.

That plea deal grew being the subject of the 350-page Justice Department report published this week.

The report explained that Acosta had shown 'poor judgment' but that his behavior did not constitute professional misconduct.

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.

Though the complaint in California was withdrawn, the website justiceforkatie.com contains more of Johnson's story which may soon be made into a film.

Another identified victim, one of the key plaintiffs against Epstein, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, whose graphic story was told here.

She received a letter informing her of the plea deal from Acosta which was included in the document below, dated Sept 3, 2008, signed by the Assistant US Attorney A. Marie Villafana, who was working under Acosta.

According to the letter "On June 30, 2008 Jeffrey Epstein (hereinafter referred to as "Epstein") entered a plea of guilty to violations of Florida Statues Sections 796.07 (felony solicitation of prostitution) and 796.03 (procurement of minors to engage in prostitution) in the 15th Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County (Case Nos 2006-cf-009454AXXXMB and 2008-cf-009381AXXXMB) and was sentenced to a term of twelve months' imprisonment to be followed by an additional six months' imprisonment, followed by twelve months of Community Control 1, with conditions of community confinement imposed by the Court."

The letter then went on to state, "An independent Special Master was assigned the task of selecting an attorney representative to the agreement to represent the victims, including you, in connection with civil actions between the victims and Mr. Epstein. The Special Master selected Robert Josefsberg, Esq. of the firm Podhurst Orseck, P.A., a highly respected and experienced attorney. You are not obligated to use Mr. Josefsberg, but, as explained in greater detail below, Mr. Josefsberg's services will be provided at no cost to you because Mr. Epstein is obligated to pay the costs and fees of the attorney-representative. Also Mr. Epstein and his attorneys can only contact you via Mr. Josefsberg, assuming that you would like Mr. Josefsberg as your attorney.

"IF YOU ELECT TO FILE SUIT AGAINST MR. EPSTEIN PURSUANT TO TITLE 18, UNITED STATED CODE, SECTION 2255, MR. EPSTEIN WILL NOT CONTEST THE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA OVER HIS PERSON AND/OR THE SUBJECT MATTER, AND MR. EPSTEIN WAIVES HIS RIGHT TO CONTEST LIABILITY AND ALSO WAIVES HIS RIGHT TO CONTEST DAMAGES UP TO AN AMOUNT THAT IS AGREED BETWEEN YOU AND MR. EPSTEIN, SO LONG AS YOU ELECT TO PROCEED EXCLUSIVELY UNDER 18 U.S.C. 2255 AND YOU WAIVE ANY OTHER CLAIM FOR DAMAGES WHETHER PURSUANT TO STATE, FEDERAL, OR COMMON LAW. NOTWITHSTANDING THIS WAIVER, EPSTEIN'S AGREEMENT WITH THE UNITED STATES, HIS WAIVERS AND FAILURE TO CONTEST LIABILITY AND SUCH DAMAGES IN ANY SUIT ARE NOT TO BE CONSTRUED AS ADMISSION OF ANY CRIMINAL OR CIVIL LIABILITY."

What amenities were offered that had these men ditching their own private jets for a ride on Jeffrey's?

What kind of a man would be friends with epstein for 15 years, dine with him at his house, travel with him and invite him to use his own property and resorts? Particularly if he knew of the man's proclivities for underage girls:

"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."

Why is it not considered a conflict of interest that trump considered his opponent to be a close friend, that he gave over 100k to his opponents Foundation more if you count his donations to Bill and hillary's various campaigns, and that they are indeed even related.

Why would the prosecution lawyers representing the government in Epstein's trial work directly with Epstein's lawyers to keep the judge and court in the dark regarding the full known extent of Epstein's crimes including co conspirators known to investigators?

Assistant U.S. Attorney Marie Villafana wrote to Epstein lawyer Jay Lefkowitz in a Sept. 19, 2007, email. "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 … maybe we can set a time to meet, if you want to meet 'off campus' somewhere, that is fine. I will make sure that I have all the necessary decision makers present or 'on call' as well."

On of the DOJ prosecutors handling the case - Marie Villafana - made this admission:

They "never conferred with the victims about a [Non-Prosecution Agreement] or told the victims that such an agreement was under consideration."

She still works for the DOJ.

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."
