Attorneys for Jeffrey Epstein asked a Manhattan federal judge Thursday to allow the financier to await trial on sex trafficking and conspiracy charges from the comforts and confines of his own home, offering up his multi-million dollar Manhattan mansion and his private jet as collateral in a bail package worth up to $77 million.
In their argument for bail, Epstein's defense team claimed that their client had long feared that federal prosecutors might pursue sexual abuse charges against him to due to "the toxic political climate ... yet [Epstein] continually returned home from travel abroad, fully prepared to vindicate his rights under the agreement and otherwise mount a full-throated defense."
Prosecutors claim Epstein, 66, paid underage girls -- some as young as 14 years old -- hundreds of dollars in cash for massages before molesting them at his homes in New York and Palm Beach, Fla. from 2002 through 2005. He was arrested Saturday at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey after he arrived on a flight from Paris.

Of COURSE HE DOES!! Typical Democrat!
Oh I see where he is going. Trump is causing the toxic political environment. This guy is used to getting his way. Now I want him to break rocks in the hot sun.
NO! Can you say huge “flight risk to a non-extradition country, with the resources to do so?”
Sure thing, Pablo...
Huge flight risk and likely to catch “Arkancide”.
There is no worse flight risk on this planet.
Also a huge stop breathing in some accident risk.
Sure . . . we can all trust this pervert, can’t we? He’s safer inside the pokey. Outside he’d be dead in a week.
He’s lucky he’s still alive what with the Clintonistas waiting to give him a Clinton suicide.
Probably has business he needs to finish up from home. I hope he rots in prison. He’s a definite security risk, and should never be granted bail.

More like Epstein’s fear being rational because he knows he’s guilty as charged.
The Go-Go Girls with Guns is hilarious.
If he’s got a drug habit too he is going to get real uncomfortable
If they let him loose he will disappear.
If they let him loose he will disappear.
More likely he will die in an “accident”.
Jeffy boy knows a lot of secrets about some powerful men (and women). Powerful enough so that his “accident” may occur while behind bars.
Good point. A hellish withdrawal might do him some good. Toxic political environment... a child trafficker is worried about politics. Trump has worked hard on the sex trafficking.. now we see why pelosi n pals never speak up for those victims.
Best make your prace with God Ep. No deal. His history of established behavior is preamtty strong.
If Epstein gets out he’s gonna run. I’d guess that a perv like him operating unobstructed for so long has done some horrific things for which there is evidence.
