Well, Judge Sweet was 96 years old so don’t think anything hinky was going on.
Maybe now a new judge will open up the records, even Alan Dershowitz wants that as he was accused of having Epstein supply him with young girls as he was Epstein’s lawyer.
Seems Sweet had sealed records......
“The settlement did not end the controversy, however. During the course of the case, Sweet approved blanket sealing of many of the submissions from both sides, detailing some of the best arguments and evidence they intended to present if the case went to trial.
The secrecy eventually prompted motions from Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz, author and social media personality Mike Cernovich and the Miami Herald to unseal some or all of the records in suit.
Dershowitz, a former lawyer for Epstein, is seeking unsealing because he says the court files contain evidence that can prove him innocent of claims Giuffre and another woman made that they had sex with him at Epstein’s direction. Cernovich has said he’s offended by the secrecy in the case and eager to expose pedophilia among American elites. The Miami Herald sought the information as part of reporting for a series it wound up publishing last year.
Sweet turned down the motions, prompting a series of appeals.
At an argument session earlier this month, three 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals judges seemed to view the secrecy in the suit as excessive and unjustified.
All the judges on the panel appeared to favor making some records from the case public soon, but there was some discussion about the process for considering opening all the records. One question debated at the argument was whether Sweet should oversee that process or whether it should be handed over to another judge. That question is now moot.
Giuffre has opposed unsealing records in the case. In addition, last week, two anonymous individuals came forward to urge the appeals court not to release information in the court files about third parties who may have been discussed during depositions in the case.
Interest in the Epstein case escalated following the publication of the Herald series and in the wake of a judge’s ruling last month that federal prosecutors, including Acosta, violated federal law by misleading alleged victims about the status of the case against Epstein in the weeks leading up to the plea deal in 2008.”
I just watched the signing for Golan Heights. This president is so clever. What perfect timing. Not only is it the right thing to do, but it may help with Netanyahu’s election. It also comes on the heels of the Jew hating remarks by Omar et al, and the president subsequently calling the dems the party that hates Israel and the Jews. That pretty much boxes them in - they validate what he said by coming out against this proclamation. I haven’t heard anyone condemn it.....yet.
Good analysis, Judy.
VP Pence was also at AIPAC making it clear that the Dems are the anti-Jewish party now.
The Jewish vote generally goes 75-80% or more to Dem Presidential candidates.

Brennan: “Relieved” There Was Not A Criminal Conspiracy With Russia, “Good News For Country”
He has been the nastiest of all towards Trump and family. Does he think he’s going to get away with it this easy?
LOLOL!!! That is perfect :-)
Gen. Flynn asked for a sentencing delay. I never saw where the judge gave it to him.
Mueller is done with him. This is just too strange.
Trying to weasel out of your lies, John?
John Brennan Pulls a 180 on MSNBC: Says He Might Have Received Bad Information
FTA:For those that remember all the statements that former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, John Brennan made on Trump-Russia investigation, his latest appearance on MSNBC this morning might come as a huge surprise:
Brennan on MSNBC: Well, I don’t know if I received bad information but I think I suspected there was more than there actually was. I am relieved that it’s been determined there was not a criminal conspiracy with the Russian government over our election.
Who was it that called Jared and Ivanka cockroaches not long ago?
