“Watch him get bail.”
My guess, too. This is beginning to look like the Twin Peaks biker fiasco.
re: “US passports expire every 10 years. If issued in 1989 that museum piece would be 30 years old. Looks like the U.S. Attorney is grasping at straws to deny Epstein bail. “
Yeah ... we want to know where his current Saudi passport is, not the 30 yo one ...
You might as well call the New New York child abuse sex law the Epstein law because he is going to get nailed under it.
Something very fishy is going on here.
Didn’t say Saudi Passport. Said Saudi address. Brennan was in charge of the Embassy at the time.
We’re talking about the Federal statute that was amended in 2006. NY statute could well be an illegal ex post facto law.
XYZ comes forward. Makes claim under new law.
Case can go forward. New charge. New Victim.
US or Saudi, at 30 years old it’s an irrelevant museum piece. By using it, the U. S. Attorney shows he’s grasping at straws and doubts the strength of his own case.
Epstein will probably get bond no matter what the evidence against him is. He will then either disappear or expire -or both
There is a reason he kept that passport in a safe even though expired.
I would deny him bail based on the passport. But I want him to get bail with conditions attached so he can stay alive.
If Maxwell was working with the Russians as some think his death could get quite creative.
More than the typical Arkanacide.
this is an effort to drag Trump down for the next two years. after the election, this will go away
Where’s the new claim that’s based on conduct that either: (1) allegedly occurred after the Federal statute of limitations was amended in 2006 or (2) isn’t barred by the 2008 NPA? If there is, the whole problem would be solved for the U. S. Attorney, unless the claim is based on illegally seized evidence. This whole case is beginning to stink because there’s no indication that the U. S. Attorney has come up with anything that doesn’t run afoul of one of the two noted criteria.
Then why is an ‘expired’ passport acceptable for I-9 confirmations?
Identity theft...unless it turns out his birth certificate was issues in Saudi Arabia, too, in the same name.
Back in the 60-90’s, it was very common to have a Israeli passport and then a non-Israeli passport.
Trying to get into Israel with a passport stamped from a Muslim country would get you denied entrance to Israel.
Same thing would happen if you wanted to for instance enter Jordan with a Israeli stamped passport.
This was VERY common as I nearly did it back in ‘98 to visit Jordan-Petra.
Funny, that is what Trump said.
Getting caught trying to skip bail would further expose accomplices, so it’s really more convenient if he stops breathing . If he gets to stay in jail, he will likely end up like Jim McDougal.
