Defense lawyers seek detention at home for Jeffrey Epstein

NEW YORK — Financier Jeffrey Epstein’s lawyers, seeking bail for their client, said Thursday that he feared a “toxic political climate” might cause federal prosecutors to scrap a deal he made with them over a decade ago and charge him again with sexual abuse charges involving underage girls.

The lawyers recommended house arrest and electronic monitoring for Epstein as they countered what they described as a “drastic demand” by prosecutors that he be detained until trial on charges that he engaged in sex trafficking with dozens of underage girls in Florida and New York from 2002 to 2005.

Epstein , 66, was arrested Saturday as he arrived at a New Jersey airport on a flight from Paris. He pleaded not guilty Monday and a judge asked defense lawyers and prosecutors to submit their bail arguments prior to a hearing next Monday.

In seeking detention, prosecutors said a trove of what seems to be nude pictures of underage girls was found in his mansion after his arrest on charges that he sexually exploited and abused underage girls.

In their submission in Manhattan federal court, lawyers said Epstein always knew federal authorities might renege on a non-prosecution deal signed in 2007 and applied in 2008, around the time he pleaded guilty to state charges in Florida, served a jail sentence and registered as a sex offender.

He needs to be at Riker’s, put him the general population until he talks.


That’s where they wanted to put Manafort. Actually you don’t want to put him there because you want him to talk, not be killed to shut him up.

Keep him away from a general population so he won’t be Arkancided.

Gee, do you think Epstein is a flight risk? Huh? Just maybe? I hear Roman Polanski has an empty couch, in Paris.

Doug Band one of the creators of the Clinton Global Initiative, you know CGI, the big money operation identified as a “charity” was a frequent flyer along with former President Clinton to “Pedo Island”.
Could there be a connection between Jeffrey Epstein, Les Wexner, CGI, Doug Band, Bill and Hillary Clinton, and a possible money laundering and a possible blackmail operation? Just Asking.

"the most secure government lock up available"

That's funny stuff right there, what is "secure government" to you and me is entirely different to what the deep state wants. Secure for them, for the rest of us, not so much.

No bail. None.

That son of a ***** was in the trafficking business of MINORS!

And they are talking about bail?

All the names the c-sucker or I got something that’ll make him talk in a very short while.

I will strip him bare and tie him to a tree out in the woods up north where I come from and let the bugs have their way with him for a while. Lets see how long he last.
