Whoa.

Daily Beast: Jeffrey Epstein " arrested for allegedly sex trafficking dozens of minors in New York and Florida between 2002 and 2005"

This comes 2 weeks after the DOJ argued against the rescission of the Epstein Non-Prosecution Agreement in the victims' Florida case.

The charges discussed in the article seem to be the same charges - interstate trafficking of minors - addressed in Epstein's plea deal

Why the charges now? It's obvious...

The media finally got around to condemning the FBI/DOJ for favoring Epstein. This led the DOJ to take action. FBI/DOJ trying to save face.

Leaves the question of whether the plea deal stands in the way of prosecution...

Finally - considering the DOJ position against rescission in the Florida victims' case (made on 6/24/19)...

You have to wonder what the newly unsealed (not yet released) Epstein documents reveal.

The efforts of the DOJ to protect Epstein (and itself):

DOJ Attorney Villafana e-mails Epstein's lawyers to discuss their:

1) their "avoid the press" strategy

2) how they can make up the "simple assault" crime (would have given him less than 6 months in jail)

The DOJ was really a co-conspirator in all this.

The DOJ lawyers changed the victim notification letters - letters to sexually abused young girls - at Epstein's request.

The DOJ in DC didn't just approve the Epstein deal - they helped supervise the case.

Spring of 2008: Emails between FBI agents and the local ass't US attorneys reveal "continued delays" in getting the case to a grand jury "due to the failure to receive decision from DC"

How bad was the DOJ-approved plea deal?

9/27/2007: Epstein signs the non-prosecution agreement.

10/31/2007: Internal emails show that FBI agents still had not interviewed all the victims.

Reports that the Epstein case is being handled by the SDNY Public Corruption Unit (PCU).

Notable that the PCU "oversees the investigation and prosecution of corruption crimes committed by elected and appointed officials, government employees..."

One theory: either the plea deal or post-plea actions involved a bribery scheme. That explains PCU involvement.

Recall that FL state prosecutors didn't cooperate in NY sex offender registry hearings.

That may be sufficient to vacate plea deal.

"About a dozen federal agents meanwhile broke down the door of #Epstein’s $50 million mansion on East 71st Street on the Upper East Side at around 5:30 p.m. to execute search warrants, witnesses and sources told the Herald."

So he wouldn't answer the door or what? LOL.

They arrested him at the airport I understood?

Palm Beach ‏
