Let time reveal the truth, and allow normal people to make their own associations and conclusions.
Normal ... Hmmm... Classic smug sneer. 'Normal" pattern of speech. It never ends well.
The Alinsky reference is cute.

Let's scroll through the list: since you apparently would ignore patterns
#MeToo was/is a running of the shiksas,
#ThemEpstein is a systematic debasement of baby shiksas,
#NXIVM, previously in the news was funded and managed by cousins of Weinstein and Epstein,
Ponzi schemes, historically most were originated by Madoff types,
Systematic debasement of the Western Culture:
Our worst enemy <--- sick, Rabbi Lapin is no amused...
Systematic funding/advocacy of abortion,
Systematic funding/advocacy of the perverted 'Rainbow Flag lifestyle',
Systematic funding/advocacy for gun confiscation,
Shrill calls for open borders, watch Schumer cry,
Promotion of Marxist ideology,
Hysterical attempts to reverse the last elections by a mostly jewish gang in the House and Senate, de facto an attempted Coup d'Etat,
Systematic agitation against the State of Israel by organizations such as J street,
Voting, TWICE, at 70%+ for the Obamination,
and, so on.

All through history, for similar reasons, such were insistently asked to leave on short notice.
It will happen again.

““I was told Epstein ‘belonged to intelligence’ and to leave it alone,” Acosta claims.”

Here is my experience with having a top secret clearance in the civilian world. I have reason to believe it is the same for the government side.

If you were going to give someone information on something in order to get them to perform a task, such as not prosecuting a monster, you would need to brief them. This is not a casual affair. (In TV or the movies, it’s just a powerful figure telling somebody to do something. That’s to move the story along. It is not how business is conducted in reality.)

The person being briefed, Acosta, is escorted into a secured area and presented with a briefing book. The book lays out whatever the issues are. In this case, the book would say who was using Epstein and what they were using him for. Once briefed, Acosta would be instructed by his highest briefed supervisor what to do. He would also be sworn to secrecy. Even years later, he would not reveal ANYTHING from such a briefing. He would have to request approval to make a statement as to why he had chosen not to prosecute Epstein to the full extend of the law.

As a result of the casual way he answered the question I tend to believe he was making it up as he went along. There is some other reason why he did not prosecute. A reason that does not involve “intelligence.”

I’m wondering why they aren’t going after offenses committed after the Florida case? Surely this leopard hasn’t changed his spots.

We can with confidence surmise there are more than enough sex crimes committed by Epstein after the plea deal to put him away for life. The guy was likely even more brazen after the deal, convinced he was untouchable. If they take the lazy way out and not build new charges, we know the SD NY is composed of disgusting scumbags. Additionally, Epstein’s agreement doesn’t let off any of the huge number of high roller participant sex abusers.

Well duh, but only an el estupido charges the front lines, doomed to failure and soon forgotten.

How about trying to be a bit more clever, and utilizing the umbrella of built in religious protection? Xian is a dead end, losers practice; whose got the mojo right now?

What is apparently clear to anyone paying attention is a liberal, secular society has no viable defense against coordinated attack. That's why a successful strategy will embrace religious force to forge a unified front against satanists.

I think we can assume th SD NY is composed of disgusting scumbags because the charges they brought are from that time period, based on an investigative report about the old case.

Does anyone else think the only adequate punishment for Epstein is do do gender reassignment surgery on him and then give him to Harvey Weinstein as a sex slave in perpetuity?!

The NPA probably wouldn’t directly protect him from kiddie porn charges but it could protect him from a search warrant based on allegations that are barred from prosecution by the NPA. The argument would be the warrant was the fruit of a poisoned tree and, thus, evidence gained by using it is inadmissible. Note how the SDNY prosecutors are desperately advertising for new accusers whose accusations cover post-2006 conduct. 2006 is crucial because that’s when the Federal statute of limitations on Federal sex crimes was repealed.

Everybody needs to remember how the game is played.

The FEDS are doing this a sway to BURY all the Evidence and protect numerous high pollutant Pedophiles.

They will make their Case to the Grand Jury and likely get an Indictment. The Indictment will be quashed due to Double Jeopardy.

ALL THE EVIDENCE Presented top the Grand Jury is now SECRET FOREVER!!~!

Let me start with ‘I don’t condone vigilante justice’.

But this stuff leads to that.

Sorry, I don't have the BW to watch videos, the blessings of life in the country.

I've read it here at FR on a number of times. Some say Acosta was too flippant in his answer so they doubt his word. But think about who we're talking about here: Obummer, the Clintons, and the Deep State.

Acosta could just be protecting himself and his family by not saying more. Or, maybe he IS part of the Deep State. We'll see...

There’s little doubt Acosta was getting pushed from somewhere and it had to be from above. The terms interjecting the Feds into the case were not so great and the excuse that the women didn’t want to be subjected to testifying rings hollow IMHO.

Anticipate we’ll see some hellish testifying this round. They are already going public and the numbers are growing so Epstein is in big trouble.
