The #MeToo movement takes on the Deep State over the Epstein scandal, and the shadow government may have finally met its match. The outrage by feminists against Jeffrey Epstein for evading justice while allegedly providing underage girls to powerful men has even the New York Times demanding answers.
Epstein was apparently protected by the Deep State for more than a decade, receiving extraordinary favoritism right up until his final moments of life in jail. At first the liberal media reacted to his death by calling anyone who questioned the circumstances a “conspiracy theorist,” but the media has since flipped amid pressure by liberals themselves not to let Epstein’s scheme off the hook.
No one can pretend that Epstein “acted alone” all those years, which is the favorite refrain of the Deep State when it wants to close the lid on investigatory failures about other famous crimes. Epstein obviously had powerful allies, starting with Bill Clinton, as well as pilots to fly them and others on the “Lolita Express” staffed by underage girls to serve for their satisfaction.
There are probably dozens, if not hundreds, who were in on Epstein’s illicit activities and unexplained accumulation of massive wealth.
This former high school teacher who became the billionaire owner of luxurious properties and even his own island in the Caribbean evidently had much he could have said about Bill Clinton and other favorites of the Left. Perhaps Epstein’s cohorts think his death should close the case, but instead it should make getting the truth easier without his army of lawyers hiding behind a plea bargain which can be voided now.
The Department of Justice was prosecuting Epstein a decade ago when special intervention apparently let him off. Attorney General Bill Barr should unseal all those records in his department now that Epstein is dead.
It has been reported that someone then called the U.S. Attorney and told him that Epstein “belonged to intelligence” and to drop the investigation and prosecution, which the U.S. Attorney immediately did. As a result, Epstein received a plea bargain that was so unusual that some have even called it illegal.
Ah, so that is how the Deep State obtains favoritism for its own. It can stop investigations of itself by insisting – or pretending – that the perpetrator is a member of “intelligence” and thus cannot be prosecuted.
James Clapper, once the Director of National Intelligence, famously lied under oath to Congress and yet was never prosecuted for it. It appears that anyone who “belonged to intelligence” is considered above the law, and that using those magic words can get a U.S. Attorney to drop even the strongest of cases.
Meanwhile, millions of ordinary folk languish in federal prisons, many even dying there, while no friend of the Deep State is ever held accountable. But this time the #MeToo crowd is on the case, as they may consider the alleged crimes of Jeffrey Epstein to be comparable to capital offenses.
Alexander Acosta, who was the U.S. Attorney, has refused to confirm or deny the published account of why the Epstein case was compromised. No one has explained why the plea bargain given to Epstein was so preferential that it even protected his accomplices against being brought to justice.
Now Attorney General Barr has identified “serious irregularities” at the jail where Epstein was allowed to commit suicide despite being under a suicide watch. Barr promises a full and thorough investigation, and for once liberals seem to be supportive of this Trump nominee.
But the investigation should not be limited merely to the Manhattan jail cell where Epstein died. Rather, Barr should release to the public all the files on the federal investigation and cover-up of Epstein a decade ago.
Peeling back the layers of cover-up for Jeffrey Epstein could finally bring down the Deep State and its own perverse way of protecting some while destroying others. Was the preferential treatment of Epstein motivated in part to protect Bill Clinton?
Like Epstein, Clinton has been able to get away for decades with conduct that would have landed any Republican in prison long ago. But the Epstein scandal and the clamor by all sides of the political spectrum may finally bring some accountability to Bill Clinton, after all these years.
Important revelations could also result from a full probe into Epstein’s unexplained accumulation of wealth. There are reports that Epstein handled the $29.3 million jackpot on behalf of the still undisclosed winner of the Oklahoma Powerball lottery in July 2008.
If Attorney General Barr digs deep, state lotteries or other government corruption might be brought down, too. And not a moment too soon.
As an act of good faith with the public AG Barr could release the names and pictures of Epstein’s two suspended guards and, especially, the names, pictures, and CVs of the two most recent wardens of the NYC MCC. Naturally, last night a herd of flying, honking, red and white flashing pigs flew over my house and none of my neighbors believed me when I told them.
This will be an interesting show-down.
My money is on the deep state.
A few of the top brass will get payed off and that will be the end of it. After that the ones who still cause trouble will commit ‘suicide’.
It is notable that @MeToo never gets to upset over the thousands of women getting raped on their way to the southern border (re: rape trees).
The multitudes of rapes and murders by illegals not only in the USA but in Europe is at nightmare proportions. Yet #MeToo keeps silent on that as well.
Guess rape, murder, and sexual assault is only appalling when there’s a payoff to be had.
While he’s at it, maybe Barr can locate that madam (can’t remember her name) who flew the plane and recruited girls and was involved in other ways as well.
She should be a great source of information, no?
Barr won’t be wasting his time chasing down real witnesses.
He has a coverup to orchestrate—hard work that!
“Meanwhile, millions of ordinary folk languish in federal prisons, many even dying there, while no friend of the Deep State is ever held accountable.”
Ever notice how barr puts out these tough on crime initiatives as a cover to distract the public attention away from the deep state crimes? he’s trying to get the “tough on crime” crowd behind him.
barr is a globalist plant and the globalists probably made a deal to let Trump and family off the hook so the globalist could maintain control of doj and police state.
REgarding his getting off with a slap on the wrist a decade ago - What if Epstien was running a massive “honeypot” on behalf of the US government against foreign nationals?
It will be interesting what the victims will find.
Another conspiracy theory.
Yes.
They, the #METOO movement NEED pictures to backup your claim in order to be believed.
#MeToo is a complete joke. They are a subset of Deep State. Women should be rioting now on what is happening to womankind here and around the world but their selective outrage is mainly a political focus on conservatives.
Yes: monetary or political payoff, or both.
That is why they ignore the global plague of Islamism.
$20+million in payouts to Congressional staffers who were sexually harassed or worse and not a single woman or man has stepped forward with details of the offenses.
NDAs don’t matter anymore, haven’t they heard?
