Did anyone bother to tell the retard Jim Hoft, or the laughable GP that the FBI director has no influence on a judge’s sentence?
You really believe that?
You know there are judges in the deep state too, right?
How do you explain a 13 month sentence for child molestation?
“the FBI director has no influence on a judge’s sentence?”
If you had read the article you might understand what happened. It appears that you did not.
The case was run from FBI headquarters in DC.
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 FBI DC headquarters.”
In other words, FBI headquarters(Mueller) deliberately refused to authorize FBI agents to investigate the case.
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.
Five months after the plea deal was reached, FBI agents still hadn’t interviewed all the victims/witnesses. FBI agents hadn’t even seen all the physical evidence.
From the 5/24/18 FBI Vault release: “Epstein has also provided information to the FBI as agreed upon.”
Epstein escaped serious charges for molesting over twenty underage girls and probably boys too.
Similar to the Whitey and Billy Bulger case in Massachusetts, Mueller’s corrupt FBI refused to investigate Epstein.
Because the FBI refused to investigate there was a lack of evidence. This made it almost certain that Clinton friend and donor Jeffrey Epstein would receive an extremely light sentence.
The question is not whether Mueller exercised any influence directly upon the judge, it is whether the case was intentionally botched/downgraded by the FBI (running it from DC) not adequately investigating.
IF the US Atty could not rely upon the FBI to investigate and prepare the grounds for federal prosecution, then that *might* help to explain why the feds went so easy on Epstein and also sealed off any further prosecution(s) of anyone associated with Epstein.
Of course, there may well have been other influences and barriers to a proper federal prosecution, but the GP article (which you appear not to have read) is about how the FBI was seemingly blocked from DC headquarters and did not carry out proper investigations.
I find you and your smug post far more laughable.
Anyone who thinks lifelong members of the Deep State do not wield all kinds of incondign influence on the sly is naive at best.
I think I will go visit The Gateway Pundit now...
