Jeffrey Epstein arrested for sex trafficking of minors in Florida and New York: Report

[FeelNoPain]

Think about taking up golf. And get those orange balls. You could paint baby Trumps on them while you practice your swing-and-a-miss.

Love golf.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Where are the "girls" themselves, today?

I can imagine lucrative civil cases galore, aimed for a slice of Epstein's  wealth.

Not to mention if they could identify anybody else?

Well, 60 of them were interviewed by the Miami Herald .... which is reportedly one of the reasons for this indictment.  The other reported reason is a journalist winning a lawsuit to unseal it. 

[sneakypete]

It will be interesting now to see who comes forward and is willing to testify.

@libertybele

Since everybody wants to live,that would be "nobody".

If someone does come forward,the feds have some SERIOUS doo-doo on him or her,and you will be able to say you have seen a truly desperate human being. On in this case,semi-human being.

[sneakypete]

I hope to read more. Saintly work exposing the reprobate in the White House who diminishes us all with his odiousness.   

@FeelNoPain

You poor bay-bay. I can only hope you can find some pain to make yourself feel better. We all know how important "feelings" are to lefties.

[bigheadfred]

I dunno.  She strikes me as more of the back seat of a 1980 Gremlin type.

As a senator, she can afford that kind of luxury.

Well, that was my first thought as well.  How many of these girls will get into protective custody v. how may are scared for their lives.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Sex trafficking.  Who is to say that these girls haven't been kidnapped? Epstein had a plane, he's a billionaire and he could have easily had them kidnapped and smuggled them in.

18 and under.  Sick.  Sick.  Sick.

Kidnapped children beg the question:  Where were/are the parents?  At least one outraged father?

I have bad news for you. Being in protective custody by the Feds means your life is in serious danger.

Pete, I have bad news for you. We are ALL being held in protective custody by the Feds.

Consider that spreading around the 'missing' $6 Billion from the State Department during Hillary Clinton's tenure can buy a TON of silence.

Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance’s Office Sought Reduced Sex-Offender Status for Epstein
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/09/nyregion/cyrus-vance-epstein.html

During a hearing in 2011, a seasoned sex-crimes prosecutor from Mr. Vance’s office argued forcefully in court that Mr. Epstein, who had been convicted in Florida of soliciting an underage prostitute, should not be registered as a top-level sex offender in New York.

Instead, the prosecutor, Jennifer Gaffney, asked a judge to reduce Mr. Epstein’s sex-offender status to the lowest possible classification, which would have limited the personal information available to the public, and would have kept him from being listed on a registry of sex offenders for life.

Justice Ruth Pickholz vehemently denied the request (...)

I believe that journalist, is Miike Cernovich.

No, it is Julie K. Brown, from the Miami Herald - one of those ‘enemy of the people’ MSM types.

[Right_in_Virginia]

The name of the woman accusing Trump and Epstein was/is Katie Johnson.  I am fairly sure this case is part of this new case or it will be since prosecutors say other women are contacting them. 

She made it all up.  Look what was published Nov 7, 2016 ... one day before the election.

A reporter from the Kiami Herald did some really strong investigative work that was published last Nov that helpednto trigger what we arenall seeing now.  It explains how the young girls were recruited.

Epstein's attorneys alleged in court that the deal, which covered the same time period as the New York charges, was made in consultation with senior Justice Department officials -- and was therefore understood by Epstein and his lawyers at the time to apply beyond the Florida district. They said the agreement will be "the centerpiece of our defense."

It was, said Epstein attorney Reid Weingarten, "an agreement that was consummated and agreed to all the way up to Main Justice at a very, very high level."

Man, there must be some big fish, with a lot of connections, at the end of that line.


"I feel very badly actually for Secretary Acosta because I've known him as someone who has worked so hard and has done such a good job," Trump continued.

"The rest of it we'll have to look, we'll have to look at very carefully, but you're talking about a long time ago. And it was a decision made, I think, not by him, but by a lot of people, so we're going to look at it very carefully," Trump said.

The president also acknowledged that he once knew Epstein, whom he called a "terrific guy" in 2002, but said they had a "falling out" without elaborating.

"Well, I knew him, like everybody in Palm Beach knew him. He was a fixture in Palm Beach. I had a falling out with him a long time ago, I don't think I've spoken to him in 15 years, I wasn't a fan," Trump said. "I was not a fan of his, that I can tell you."

Strange, how he doesn’t mention feeling bad for all the victims. He wasn’t ‘a fan’ of Epstein, but he once said how much fun he was to be around and had known him for 15 years.

There are pictures of Trump's association with Epstein and they go back 20 years; around 1999.  The accusations of Epstein's sex trafficking is from 2002-2005.   Trump says he hasn't spoken to him in over 15 years appears to be accurate.

Trump stopped talking to him over 15 years ago perhaps for good reason.

What is concerning is Billy Bob's association with Epstein which is much more recent and frequent (26 trips aboard his aircraft) and the flight logs also show within the same time frame of 2002-2005.  It has been reported that on 5 of those trips he ditched his Secret Service personnel.

There’s no question the connection to Epstein in Clinton goes more in depth than either has said. It’s also true that both Clinton and Trump are comfortable casual liars. The New Yorker interview, with Trump’s quote about Epstein being fun and liking young women, was in 2002. He was completely aware of who Epstein was and what he was about. It was a phone interview, so there was no reason for him to discuss Epstein and offer the quote, unless he really wanted to.

Also, keep in mind that the Access Hollywood tape of Trump’s famous comments was made in 2005. Given the timeframe and what we know about Epstein and his connections, I wonder what gave Trump the idea he could be so cavalier about how rich and famous people could do whatever they want with women?

[mountaineer]

... “Is the Epstein case going to cause a problem [for confirmation hearings]?” Acosta had been asked. Acosta had explained, breezily, apparently, that back in the day he’d had just one meeting on the Epstein case. He’d 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. “I was told Epstein ‘belonged to intelligence’ and to leave it alone,” he told his interviewers in the Trump transition, who evidently thought that was a sufficient answer and went ahead and hired Acosta. (The Labor Department had no comment when asked about this.)...

There also are reports Epstein was funded from the get-go by certain Israeli interests who needed to run a sexual blackmail operation. Perhaps, in Clinton's case, that's exactly what they got.

Yes, this have the potential to be really big.

Yes, this has the potential to **really go away quickly**.
