    The Dems are hoping that Trump gets named as one of the fellow pedofiles and the Republicans are hoping that Clinton is. As an Independent, I hope both of them are named.

    Nobody said it wasn’t about Epstein.

    But Acosta broke the law when he made his deal to cover up for Epstein’s crimes.

    But Trump doesnt’ see anything wrong with that, nor do some of his fans.

    Far more likely the Bushes were involved but whatever.. Speculation without evidence is just that.

    LOL, he has become a distraction for the Administration. The left blames Acosta for Epstein's behavior. Typical. Since the DOJ and Mueller's FBI were involved I would like to know why Epstein got punted to the Palm Beach attorney and got a deal considering much of the evidence the FBI and DOJ had against him then is being used now.

    I know, but it’s good fun. Here on this forum several threads have been started trying to link Clinton to Epstein and several have been started to link Trump I am all for tossing Bush, Obama or even Jimmy Carter in there. Isn’t that what this whole forum is all about anyway?

    For many on the left, this is about Trump and not Epstein's crimes.

    You mean that Acosta is guilty while ignoring Epstein? Why isn't the left wondering why Epstein got a deal? Since the DOJ and Mueller's FBI were involved and the case was punted to the Palm Beach attorney why doesn't the left want to know why? Easy, this is about Trump and not Epstein's crimes.

    It's truly insane how the media blames Donald Trump for a legal deal that happened in 2008.

    You can shake your head all you want but you are in there getting your digs inagaibst Clinton any time you can regarding this Epstein deal and so are all of the Trumpists. All of the anti Trumpists are linking Trump to Epstein. That’s how it works here.

    All questions that need answers. Few if any are dirtier than Dirty Bob Mueller. Everyone involved needs to be held to the fullest account of the law and barred from ever again holding an office of public trust.

    As Napoleon said, sometimes you have to hang a few Generals, it helps the other focus better. NO ONE in national leadership should be facilitating the careers of creeps who rape and sex traffic our young girls.

    ALEX ACOSTA tried to avoid this resignation by holding a press conference to explain the sweetheart deal he gave to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein 11 years ago. Acosta's arguments failed nearly Immediately, though, if he would have been Hillary Clinton they would have sufficed for Jim Comey.

    Now is the time for these victims to unburden the weight they have been carrying and find health and well-being. The trauma they have suffered is NOT integral to who they are as human beings.

    More than a dozen women come forward with new allegations:

    Jeffrey Epstein’s hoping that an old non-prosecution agreement with Acosta will somehow rescue him from his legal trap, that's unlikely. The Miami Herald reports this morning that more than a dozen women have contacted attorneys to seek justice for Epstein’s sexual abuse. No one knows how many women have contacted prosecutors directly:

    Epstein is trying to convince a federal judge to allow him to await a sex trafficking trial from the comfort of the same $77 million Manhattan mansion where he’s accused of luring teenage girls into unwanted sex acts.

    Following Epstein’s arrest Saturday in New Jersey, four women have reached out to New York lawyer David Boies, and at least 10 other women have approached other lawyers who have represented dozens of Epstein’s alleged victims in the past.

    Jack Scarola, a Palm Beach attorney, said at least five women, all of whom were minors at the time of their alleged encounters with Epstein, have reached out to either him or Fort Lauderdale lawyer Brad Edwards.

    “The people we are speaking to are underage victims in Florida and in New York. They are not individuals whose claims have previously been part of any law enforcement investigation,’’ Scarola said.

    Investigators discovered a treasure trove of pictures depicting nude images of possibly underaged girls. These new victims might be able to certify that the pictures are of them and what age they were when taken. Child pornography wasn't covered under Acosta's sweetheart deal. If Epstein’s attorneys can’t invalidate the search warrant, Epstein should finally be doomed.

    Keeping the pictures might have sealed Epstein’s fate in another way. Usually in crimes of this nature, it gets more and more difficult to validate claims of sexual abuse as time goes by. Forensic evidence disappears, details grow dim, and later issues in the lives of victims create credibility issues. If prosecutors have pictures of these women, however, it makes it veeerrrrry easy for victims to have their allegations validated and for prosecutors to win convictions. Epstein had to be insane to keep them — Acosta and the prosecutors blew it in 2007 by not getting their hands on the pictures at that point and are responsible for an untold number of additional rapes.

    This guy is a dirty bastard. The Miami Herald reminds us of Epstein’s ruthlessness the last time around — and how he targeted law enforcement:

    During the 2006-2007 probe in South Florida, federal agents considered charging Epstein with witness tampering because he used some of his employees to try to intimidate victims so that they wouldn’t cooperate with police, court records reviewed by the Herald show.

    In one instance, a victim’s father told Palm Beach police that he had been followed by someone and forced off the road. He wrote down the car’s license plate number and police traced it to a private investigation company that had been hired by Epstein’s legal team, the police report about the incident said.

    Epstein’s investigators also followed the then-Palm Beach police chief, Michael Reiter, and the lead detective in the case, Joe Recarey. Recarey said he was so concerned about the aggressive tactics Epstein was using that he would often switch vehicles in an attempt to throw them off.

    “At some point it became like a cat-and-mouse game. I would stop at a red light and go. I knew they were there, and they knew I knew they were there. I was concerned about my kids because I didn’t know if it was someone that they hired just out of prison that would hurt me or my family,’’ Recarey told the Herald as part of its series on the case.​

    CNN also highlights this chapter of Epstein’s past:

    During that probe, at least three private investigators who police believed were working on Epstein’s behalf tracked down accusers and possible witnesses to the alleged attacks, according to the police reports. They sat in black SUVs outside the homes of accusers, questioned their current and former boyfriends, and chased one parent’s car off the road, according to police reports and a lawyer for three accusers. Epstein’s current attorney Reid Weingarten denied in a court filing Thursday any knowledge of the alleged car chase and said if it happened, it was not authorized by Epstein. …

    The aggressive tactics didn’t stop with witnesses or accusers, according to court filings, police reports, and attorneys, but also extended to the prosecutors.​

    If this judge allows bail and Epstein does get out, don’t be surprised if the sudden flood of victims gets choked down to a mere trickle. There’s a very good reason these women didn’t come forward until Epstein was behind bars.

    Acosta helped validate that Epstein was untouchable. What in the world has happened to our FBI, DOJ and Judicial System? Justice needs to be certain and public. This an incredibly ugly chapter of our history, and hopefully AG Barr is the "Sheriff" we need to clean it up.

    No facts but a lot of speculation. One is that Epstein was a cooperating witness. Another is that he had dirt on some higher ups. Another is that he was a trader but no one that traded ever did any business with him, calling into account where his money really came from, for instance blackmail.

    There is a ton of things we don't know. I would like to find out what they are but if it involves the DOJ or FBI there is a good chance we will never know publicly.

    Everybody expected this.

    Just another RAT jumping from Trump's Sinking Ship.

    This time it happens to be the guy who facilitated a Sweetheart Deal for Trump's Child-Raping Best Friend.

    Once again, Trump will fill the spot with yet another INCOMPETENT Person.

    Nobody wants to work for Trump.

    Once again, in order to get someone to fill the spot, Trump will scrape the sludge from the bottom of the barrel.

    He can no longer do his job with the MSM trying to tie Epstein to Trump. He had to go. It's too bad we don't have a real "Free Press".
