I smell an upcoming wave of upcoming innuendo vs the president by way of anonymous leaks from the investigation.

She’s a 4th year assistant US Attorney. She won’t be calling any shots, except where to order the late-night pizza from.

One thing about Trump — he appreciates skill, talent and experience. He doesn’t seem drawn at all to neophytes.

I have a feeling that they will use this to get to our president but will fail. Their devious act will come back at them that they will regret having had Epstein arrested.

She’ll be working under this guy
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoffrey_Berman

“”””””””””””
Career

Berman began his career as a law clerk for Judge Leonard I. Garth in the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.[8] He served for three years as an associate to independent counsel Lawrence Walsh during investigation into the Iran–Contra affair 1987–1990.[9] There, he was part of a team that was able to prosecute former CIA employee, Thomas G. Clines, on tax fraud charges.

Assistant United States Attorney (1990–1994)
Berman later served as an Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York from 1990 to 1994.[10][11] Berman worked on several complex tax and fraud cases as a prosecutor, including the Masters of Deception computer hacking case. As a result of Berman’s prosecution of that case, his effigy was stabbed on the front cover of 2600: The Hacker Quarterly, a computer hacking magazine.

Private practice (1994–2018)

Berman during his time in Greenberg Traurig (2014)
Berman was subsequently engaged by Mudge Rose and Latham & Watkins, where he worked as a monitor to rid the New York Carpenter’s Union of mob control.[12] From 1994 to 1997, Berman represented, pro bono, Maureen and Richard Kanka, defending the constitutionality of Megan’s Law in state and federal litigation. He married Joanne Karen Schwartz August 20, 1994.[13]

Berman is currently a resident of New York, where he previously lived from 1984 to 2002. He then moved to Princeton, New Jersey, where he lived for 14 years. Berman was a partner of Rudy Giuliani at Greenberg Traurig.[14] It was reported that Giuliani supported Berman for U.S. Attorney in New Jersey, but that Giuliani supported a different candidate for U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York.[15][16]

Berman represented Philip Kwon, the deputy general counsel at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey during the Bridgegate trial.[17] Berman denied that his client was ever told the lane closures were intended to punish anyone.

United States Attorney (2018–present)

Upon President Donald Trump’s firing Preet Bharara as U.S. Attorney, Trump reportedly interviewed Berman among other candidates for the position.[18] Berman had performed some part-time volunteer work for the Trump transition.[19] On January 3, 2018, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced Berman’s appointment as U.S. Attorney, along with sixteen other former prosecutors, to serve in various offices around the country on an interim basis until the Senate can permanently confirm them.[20][21] The Trump Administration never nominated Berman or most of the other interim appointments. On April 25, 2018, the Chief Judge of the Southern District of New York entered an order formally on behalf of a unanimous court appointing Berman United States Attorney pursuant to its authority under 28 U.S.C Section 546(d). Berman has the appointment indefinitely, until an individual nominated by the President is confirmed by the Senate, or he is dismissed from the position by the President.[4]

In April 2018, the office of Berman issued a search warrant of the office and hotel room of Michael Cohen, former lawyer of Donald Trump, for possible bank fraud and campaign finance violations.[22][23][24] Since Berman is recused by the U.S. Attorney General’s Office from the investigation, he was apparently not involved in the decision to raid Cohen’s office.[25] That search was presumably conducted under the authority of Robert Khuzami, Berman’s top deputy.[26]

In August 2018, U.S. Representative Chris Collins, his son Cameron, and the father of Cameron’s fiancée, Stephen Zarsky, were arrested by the FBI and charged with insider trading and making false statements by Berman.[27][28][29] Following the charges, House Speaker Paul Ryan kicked Collins off of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, and Collins suspended his reelection campaign.[30][31][32]

In October 2018, Berman charged Cesar Sayoc with sending a string of homemade incendiary packages to several present and former federal officials including former President Obama, former President Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.[33]

In November 2018, Berman charged recording artist and performer Daniel Hernandez, better known as 6ix9ine, with six felony counts in racketeering and violence to aid racketeering. The most serious charge being brought against Hernandez is “using or carrying a firearm during and in relation to, or possessing a firearm in furtherance of, a crime of violence, which was discharged” which can result in life in prison.[34] In January 2019 Hernandez pleaded guilty to the charges Berman had brought against him. [35]

In January 2019, Berman charged Natalya Veselnitskaya, a Russian lawyer, with obstruction of justice in connection with a false and misleading declaration she submitted to a judge in the Southern District of New York. Berman said on announcing the indictment: “Fabricating evidence to affect the outcome of pending litigation not only undermines the integrity of the judicial process, but it threatens the ability of our courts and our government to ensure that justice is done.”[36][37][38]

In March 2019, Berman charged Michael Avenatti with extortion in connection with his threat to Nike that he would go public with damaging allegations against Nike employees unless Nike paid him over $20 million. Berman said on announcing the charges: “A suit and tie doesn’t mask the fact that, at its core, this was an old-fashioned shakedown.”[39]

In April 2019, Berman brought the first ever drug trafficking charges against a pharmaceutical company and two of its executives, charging Rochester Drug Co-Operative and its former CEO, Laurence Doud III, with illegally conspiring to distribute oxycodone and fentanyl and conspiring to defraud the DEA. In announcing the charges, Berman said “This prosecution is the first of its kind: executives of a pharmaceutical distributor and the distributor itself have been charged with drug trafficking, trafficking the same drugs that are fueling the opioid epidemic that is ravaging our country. Our Office will do everything in its power to combat this epidemic, from street-level dealers to the executives who illegally distribute drugs from their boardrooms.”[40]

DC: unable to police itself, much less lawfully govern USA.
DC: too big; too important. Bull. Good bye would be easy. We-The-People free from tyranny again. What a wonderful USA we could have, without DC ruling over our lives.

And David Boies is the attorney for one of the victims. They’ve got this fixed from both ends.

It’s a show trial, only this time Epstein walks.

I’m more concerned with the “corruption unit” being responsible for this investigation - - they handle money laundering, fraud, tax matters - - - - - if Dem’s can’t get Trump’s tax returns any other way, maybe they can pretend they need them in a “ginned up” money laundering investigation - - - the other big names are simply “stalking horses”

I was wondering the same thing yesterday when I read Pelosi’s tweet. Guess now we may know. She’s probably a chip off the old leaky block.

I smell corruption...

So now we know why an obvious child trafficking case illogically got characterized as public corruption. It had to go into that unit because that’s where Comey works. Do you see the rigging? They think we’re stupid.
