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.

Is this the same judge that was going to unseal the Epstein records, but an 11th-hour amicus brief asked to keep them sealed?

Tinfoil hat time!

Can’t they find judges who aren’t one foot in the grave? It would be odd if this guy wasn’t somewhat senile.

Maybe, but considering the likel8hood of anyone even reaching 96, I would not count on it.

Hey, I'm one of the first to suspect foul play in the death of anyone connected with the deep state, but in this case, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
