Jeffrey Epstein carefully cultivated a circle of prestigious and powerful friends by exploiting the aura of money and mystery that surrounded him — but the hint of a dark side was always there.
Now, in the wake of his blockbuster arrest on child sex trafficking charges, some of those high-flying former pals may be quaking in their boots.
During a news conference Monday announcing Epstein’s indictment, Manhattan US Attorney Geoffrey Berman dramatically pointed to the suspect’s mug shot on a poster, and the FBI’s New York chief, William Sweeney Jr., urged anyone who has been “victimized” or “has additional information” on the multimillionaire financier to immediately call the feds.
But the appeal was not just meant for victims of the convicted pedophile, former Justice Department prosecutor Bradley Simon said Tuesday. The underlying message, he said, is: Call us before we come a-calling on you.
“If there are people out there who facilitated or participated in Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes, they would probably be well-advised to seek counsel, and for their counsel to make overtures to the US attorney,” said Simon, now co-chair of the white-collar criminal defense practice at Phillips Nizer.
“Earlier is better than later in these types of cases.”
Epstein, 66, rose from middle-class origins in Coney Island to amass a fortune that includes a $77 million Upper East Side townhouse, a $12 million estate in Palm Beach, Fla., a 7,500-acre ranch in New Mexico and a private island — called “Little St. James” — in the US Virgin Islands, which he claims as his primary residence.

It is and there is a whole lot more to come out. They are going to get hit from so many sides their heads will be spinning. This Epstein incident is one of several things they have been covering up for years. it is the reason for the Trump Russia probe nonsense. Too many very powerful people have had enough of this crap and are going to deal with these bums ruthlessly. Anyone on our side who gets weak and does not do their duty will get crushed themselves.
You have to understand the forces that are driving the legal process right now for our side. They are not very nice and ruthless which is what’s needed. Comey’s daughter can/does has serious COI issues and whoever appointed her I expect to get clobbered as well. This is no doubt going on as we chat.
They may be getting an offer that they can’t refuse.
This is a good conversation but I must return to bed.
FRegards as well.
Maybe someone will shoot up a concert in Vegas to diver attention? Or Iran will attack or test a nuke? Maybe a big name Suicide will happen? It will be something really bad to divert the Media from this sex scandal. I bet half of the men ln Congress took the Trip to Fantasy Island, Half of Hollywood, and almost all of the Billionaires in the world.
The Iranians tried to hijack a British tanker. Will that do as a distraction?
I wonder if any of the girls were murdered if they threatened to talk? His paradise Island may well be a cemetery. The truth must come out.
I will just leave this here:

Trafficking is the story of Conchita Sarnoff, an investigative journalist, who despite bribes to stay silent, risked her life to expose the brutal reality of human trafficking and the Jeffrey E. Epstein case.
Exactly. Patterson is trying wayyyyyyy to hard to not appear part of the sleaze. Reminds me of someone ... excuse me... coff coff dersh coff coff...
Lessay you’re at a hump-fest and there you see freaking DERSHOWITZ; it’s hard for me to imagine a more convincing example of jurisprudence:
I can imagine seeing him and maybe thinking, “Well, this unusual but amazing stuff MUST be okay, then..! Dig in..!”
Dersh has always struck me as that weird kid in grade school the always showed his privates off in the locker room.
I can’t help but wonder if this is a brilliantly orchestrated plot to put the hurt on the people close to Hillary and squeeze them hard.
The noose tightens.
To really take the Clintons down, get access to the internal workings of the Fraud and Treason Foundation. There is a staggering amount of truly filthy money in play there. And the extent of the selling of classified information should keep most Americans up at night for months.
Do we even have enough forensic accountants in the country? Will we need to import some from Israel?
Is this just a coincidence? Are there ever coincidences with these creepers?
Or has President Trump just launched a counter coup?
My question is why hasn’t Epstein been Arkancided? Is he too well-protected for even the Clinton mob?
Just imagine what would still be happening to children by these perverts, and more, if Hillary won.
Good point. Hillary should have been locked up (Lock Her Up!) long ago.

‘Like rats fleeing a sinking ship’.......
Being arrested in NY is suspicious being it is the hate capitol of hate trump. Made it seem as though they got to Epstein before the feds to protect him and see if they can find something on trump
Spoke to a reporter. Everyone says he brilliant. Is he? Really???
Pal. There’s that word again. Makes you think they got their talking points from the same source. Monday night, on the NBC evening news, it was reported Trump palled around with Epstein.
