So if they found pics of nekkid kids in his safe last week(end), he’d be covered for those by the previous agreement?

Or not?

If an offender offends again, and the crimes for which he is arrested and charged occured separately from, and subsequent to, those for which he had been convicted and sentenced, it is NOT “double jeopardy” for that offender to be prosecuted again. Happens all the time.

But what if the current warrants are issued for crimes for which he was previously given immunity? Does the evidence collected, even of more recent crimes, become spoiled because of this? And is there any chance that these old crimes were specifically used for the warrants to intentionally spoil any new evidence?

I would not be a bit surprised if the sole purpose of this was the Deep State agents in the DOJ trying to manufacture "evidence" against President Trump with no real intention of prosecuting Epstein.

I think things are going to move quickly on this one. Either you’re going to see some very high-profile people being taken into custody or “something” is going to happen to push this off the front page of the news cycle (think Mueller going outside the scope of the report).

I saw this only because I’ve been watching the esteemed Harvard professor-emeritus Alan Derschowitz on TV lately looking like someone has a very tight grip on his family jewels. He sounds like he is worried and may have good reason to be.

The kiddie-porn angle may trip up Epstein, but I don’t think it will lead to other people (unless they’re Republicans) Hil-Bill will get a pass because they are still mainstream Democrats and Bill “never had sex with that woman ________” (insert name here)

The porn found in his New York residence appears to be a “new” act and he will probably take a fall for that and since he is a registered sex offender may face serious jail time, but will it lead to others...it remains to be seen?

The article linked is a good read on his Wall Street history. It certainly makes him out to be another Bernie Madoff but as a blackmailer rather than a swindler.

Says they found a lot of those pics when they raided his NYC home this past week(end).

BTW, what I find disturbing is the states attorney, Krischer, “He currently serves on the Palm Beach County Alliance, responsible for oversight of children placed in foster care” According to an article by Greenfield:

Wonder why he did a 180 on prosecuting Epstein back in the day... (thoughtful emoji)

A whole swath of fantasies was developed & created to establish illusions of fairness and reward in order to facilitate power & control.

At some point, does one objectively observe this system was designed and implemented by very intelligent people? That's why the GOPe goes along with the plan - they recognize greatness. It also explains the utter disdain the elite express for deplorables - so dumb and naive as to embrace the very belief systems created to keep them penned.

It seems an inevitable conclusion that it's futile to place any hope in those quarters. Utterly deluded and clueless, with no idea nor concept of the far reaching networks established to keep them docile and behaved.

Classic false flag. Throw out crude and overt accusations that trigger built in defense mechanisms and conditioned responses. And now, if the mods don't delete the comment, any net search will bring up a result.

The name of the game is to read & study Alinsky; that cat spilled the beans. The trick is to associate the many and varied crimes against the people - both individually and as a nation - to the obvious perps. When certain people are so beyond any restraint, acting with complete debauchery and abandon, they inevitably make mistakes.

Let time reveal the truth, and allow normal people to make their own associations and conclusions.

Epstein got rich implementing an old Mafia scam. The pimp gangster Lucky Luciano kept out of prison by photographing law enforcement ( cops and prosecutors) cavorting with his prostitutes. It was portrayed in the Godfather Part 2. The corrupt Nevada Senator that was squeezing Michael Corleone woke up one day in the arms of a dead prostitute and no memory of the event.

Epstein got rich running a Ponzi scheme pretending to be a hedge fund. He partnered with the vile Bill Clinton. Using Clinton as the lure, he invited rich corrupt men to party with them. At the end of the party these fools were invited to “invest” in his “hedge” fund and were also given numerous photographs of their festivities. The only question is what was the split with Clinton.

Man, this is discouraging. McCarthy is making valid my vague doubts, though his reasoning is far clearer than mine.

I guess we can “hope” there is child porn in a safe at his apartment.

. A different charge, different crime.

Epstein was involved with some Clinton ‘charity’... If there’s a few clean agents in the FBI maybe we’ll find out the whole story...

What does one call a situation where one party attaches labels to certain actions & behaviors, while others are free to act without restraint?

Who taught you the meaning of 'evil'? Are lions evil, or are sapiens the exception that must be governed according to a moral code? Who created this code? A friendly sky god, or perhaps an opponent intentionally conditioning adversaries to engage in self sabotage?

I say it's pure genius - you can look across the fruited plains and see the mind numbed deplorables acting exactly as they've been programmed, utterly clueless as to whose system of behavior and control they so assiduously obey.

It's called 'pecking order - and it's a system where one group has a lot more power than the other. (Democrats own the press and can just about 'get away' with anything. Same with the 'teacher's pet' or the 'favorite child'...) You do understand human nature, right?

Who taught you the meaning of 'evil'? Are lions evil, or are sapiens the exception that must be governed according to a moral code? Who created this code?

99% of the moral code is simple... IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS ABOUT THIS, NAME ME ONE RULE I CAN BREAK WHEN DEALING WITH YOU..(good luck with that one)

“For that is not the FR way.”

The emoting makes me think I’ve been redirected to the DU at times.

“...leaves out that Acosta has claimed he was instructed to do the deal.”

I didn’t hear Acosta say anything like that. Please show the time where he does in the video of his remarks.

Thanks.

Epstein was indicted on charges, but never appeared in court to be tried in front of a jury, due to his cutting a deal with the Feds. Double jeopardy is supposed to prevent people who have been either convicted, or acquitted in a court of law, from being retried for same or similar crimes. I think the fact that he cut that deal, and never had a trial, along with the new charges of human trafficking, and evidence presented, that whatever attempt to prove double jeopardy on his part, will be dismissed.
