"... The pair struck a deal that only required Epstein to serve 13 months in a county jail and shuttered an FBI probe into his alleged crimes. But as part of that deal, according to records cited by the Herald, Epstein provided “valuable consideration”—in other words, critical information—to federal investigators. There’s no direct evidence of what that information was, but records show.."

Place yer bets! How much do you wager on Epstein offering up only Republican perverts? Not that I don’t want them offered up. I’m just sayin’.
Needs surgical neutering as part of the deal
Maybe he’s in protective custody.
A criminal assisted a CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION and therefore he didn’t face stiffer penalties —you like how that works..?
...
Anyone still foolish and gullible to think this anything but a plan to try to take down PDJT?
An excellent guess.
I'd say it was that or, for this deeeeply politicized, liberal partisan FBI, info on dirty financial info on GOPers.
Fellow perv or fellow thief stuff for an FBI thinking about how to swing the next election.
I haven’t followed this very closely but my understanding is that:
Back around 2008, he had a plea bargain based on abusing under-age girls. Being an informant seems like part of that deal.
Now in 2019 he is being charged with sex trafficking. Completely different type of charge. I think it’s a whole new ballgame for Epstein.
I’m hoping that Trump’s people are using Epstein to nail down the international pedophile rings. I think this all leads back to the Clintons and other big names. Pedophilia is abhorrent to all decent people. Even the US media will have a hard time saying “Everybody does it”.
This is old old old news predating the present indictment and arrest. Posting this without being clear about what is being posted is very very confusing. Our side needs to learn to exercise better writing and better editing control.
Bet he was an asset long before the plea deal.
His 2008 plea deal has drawn scrutiny. It was overseen by former Miami U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta, who is now U.S. labor secretary. Acosta has defended the plea deal as appropriate under the circumstances.In November, the Miami Herald reported that Acosta had brokered a deal with one of Epstein's attorneys.
Yes, it IS a year old.
It bears heavily on how in hell he got off with such little time for such crazy crimes.
It fills in the picture, considerably, points to what now might become.
“There’s no direct evidence of what that information was, but records show that at around the same time, Epstein was considered to be a crucial witness during the trial of two Bear Stearns executives who faced allegations of corporate securities fraud during the 2008 financial crisis.”
But the trafficking he’s being charged with is not recent, it’s from 10 years ago, give or take. So either they knew about that or they didn’t. If they didn’t, fine, that changes things. If they did, they were playing Epstein.
Dusting off the Trump EO of December 2017.
We’ll know whether or not the fix is in if the Fake News Media focuses like a laser beam on anyone with even the remotest ties to President Trump when they didn’t give a flying fig about covering Robert Menendez’s trial.
Maybe Orgy Island wasn’t a Mossad op:
Maybe it was an **FBI** op..?
Maybe we dupes are all unwittingly living in the US of FBI..?
All those fireworks, parades 3 days ago:
Maybe everyone at the FBI were snickering.
Trump all the way. That’s what this is about. To see what sticks.
I believe the new case is not federal, but the state of New York. They may want to dangle immunity to get information on Trump.
How his lawyers permitted him to plead to one part of the larger scheme — wow. Now they’ll have to argue the govt is estopped from pursuing trafficking charges because the cause arises from the previous charges. Won’t work, but then Jefffrey is an evil megalomaniac who thought Cankles would be President...
