“The hedge-fund manager and former friend of presidents Trump and Clinton...”

LIAR, LIAR, PANTS ON FIRE!

Trump was not “friends” with Epstein.

Why mention Trump BEFORE Clinton?

If we’re going down, we’re gonna take Trump with us, even though he didn’t do anything.

[mdmathis6]

She’d have to supply a date for the party and when Trump shows from his own records where he’d been that day, the accuser’s story would fall apart. That’s why I believe that case never took off!

[sport]

It had begun. Get ready for a long hard ride. Even on this forum you are going to have your “doubting Thomas’”, actually, not “doubting Thomas’ “, but Never Trumpers who were keeping a low profile and sticking their heads up to do a little sniping from time to time.

[bunster]

Remenber the “note” or message that turned up in the programs at the Bush funeral? Do you think that note had something to do with this? Or did we solve the Bush Funeral Note way back then?

[Red Badger]

There is a cure for his ‘ailment’.

A single lead pellet administered sub-cranially............at high velocity..........

[eyeamok]

In every other Criminal Case with dozens of potential suspects, EVERYONE that ever went to the Island would be Arrested and Squeezed with threats of a Short Life in prison as a Baby Raper.

Why only Epstein?? Every person that went to Orgy Island should be in an Orange Jumpsuit.

[3boysdad]

Or at least just a noose.

[Red Badger]

Patience, Grasshopper, patience................

[sport]

It could have been. I recall reading blurbs of where they were reviewing,if that is the right word, the Epstein Case.

[eyeamok]

I understand your sentiments about patience, but with the FBI involved I have to take the Position that Patience will only lead to them Destroying and Burying as Much Damaging Evidence as humanly possible in an effort to COVER FOR THEIR BUDDIES and PAYMASTERS>

Actually found a link to documents of flight logs, etc around 2002 for Epstein’s jet. Different types of docs are uploaded to this site: https://archive.org/details/EpsteinFlightLogsLolitaExpress

Acosta and then Trump guilty via association

Trump is guilty of nothing in this - if you hob knob with enough people, you'll run across folks who do really bad things.

But Acosta? The more I read up on how he let Epstein and Epstein's cronies essentially walk free with a ridiculous plea deal, the more I'm disgusted.

I guarantee that if it had been you and your buddies facing those charges, somebody like Acosta would have put you in prison for life.

Epstein donated tens of millions to Harvard, and me thinks that if you follow the money, it might shine a light on why Acosta (Harvard grad) gave him an easy deal, and why people like Dershowitz have defended him (and still do).

AIt doesn’t matter what the reality is

The media will go on ad nauseum over Trumps association with Epstein and ignore exculpatory facts and ignore Clinton’s and other lefties exponentially more numerous times with Epstein

Sad

Just another brick in the road to violent resolution

[MarvinStinson]

New York magazine is a leftwing rag.

[Yaelle]

This is actually a pretty good piece.

I don’t care who it brings down, as long as it brings down the guilty. This is not a rah rah, political sides thing. This is a strong path to the prevention of our (humanity’s) daughters being used by powerful people as sex slaves. This needs to stop, and those who think they are above the law need to be shamed and punished. I don’t care which side they are on politically; it’s much bigger than that.

[Yaelle]

The article explains why it’s not double jeopardy.

[Yaelle]

Look, if they go hard after trump, there is NO WAY he wouldn’t take Clinton et al down with him (or twist it to them if Trump is wholly innocent, which I am not sure of). But Trump won’t be whimpering and taking it up the butt and let those guys go scot free.

[NELSON111]

Agreed. I even heard someone on here (and on YouTube trying to blame it on the previous administration. Lol. Yeah. It was a previous administration alright-Bush.

So the question I have is why is Acosta in his cabinet? This guy does not deserve to be in a position of authority at this level. Some have also suggested he was ordered to do the deal and now he is being “protected.” Bull crap. He should have resigned back in 2008 rather than let that perv off like that

And as for all the talk about “is Trump guilty or not “-well-i find it highly suspicious that the SDNY is taking on this case-the very same district that was supposed to also be looking into other Trump matters.

And I know this for a fact-people like Epstein don’t just hook powerful people up with young girls and not get evidence of it. If Trump OR Clinton (or Dershowitz or Prince Andrew or anyone else) is guilty and went to his Island-he’s got voyeur video tapes of it and I’d wager that those tapes are now in the hands of prosecutors after their raid of his home.

[trebb]

Nope - that would mean if one was charged and tried for the murder of one person, and got off, then that person could murder at will because to try him for future murders would constitute “double jeopardy”...

I wouldn't hold it fully against Trump - he has made plenty of boneheaded hires ("Drain the Swamp" is now a punchline to a bad joke), simply because he listens to other people. This could easily have been somebody like Jared Kushner (a Harvard grad) or Ted Cruz (Harvard grad) suggesting Acosta (Harvard grad) to him. These schools (and most universities, not to single out Harvard) encourage this kind of networking - it's a huge selling point.

It is on Trump to not have vetted Acosta though. If I was in the Trump administration and looking at Acosta, the moment it came up that Acosta let off a liberal NYC billionaire (and his associates) with ties to the Clintons with an incredibly light sentence for abusing underage girls, I would have shut it down and told Acosta "thanks, but no thanks".

I don't think it's a coincidence that Epstein gets sentenced to 8 hours a day of jail time over 13 months for abusing underage girls. Whether Acosta did this on his own, or somebody over him made the decision, doesn't matter. What matters is that Epstein probably has blackmail material on plenty of people, which is why he felt free to continue on with his horrible behaviors.

I also think that Epstein's blackmail material is why the PCU is handling this - I have a feeling plenty of people in NY, FL, and DC, are sweating bullets right about now.
