Feds move to dismiss Jeffrey Epstein's sex-trafficking indictment
Fox News ^ | 20 August 2019 | Nicole Darrah

Federal prosecutors on Monday moved to dismiss the sex-trafficking indictment against Jeffrey Epstein following his suicide in federal lockup earlier this month — but officials say they have no plans to end the probe into Epstein's alleged victims' claims, and authorities are still considering charging others accused in the alleged underage sex ring.

Epstein, 66, killed himself while locked up without bail in New York City's Metropolitan Correctional Center awaiting trial. In a letter dated Monday, Geoffrey Berman, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, used the disgraced financier's suicide as the pretext for withdrawing the criminal case against Epstein.

Berman explained that, though Epstein will never stand trial, federal prosecutors remain committed "to doing [their] utmost to stand up for the victims who have already come forward, as well as for the many others who have yet to do so."

The request reiterates what Attorney General William Barr promised during a news conference last week: that the investigation is not ending into anyone who may have aided or conspired with Epstein and that Epstein's alleged victims will ultimately see justice.

Oh hell no! This needs to continue -- dead or not.

Take his putrid body and prop it up in a chair Weekend at Bernie's-style and be on with it.

Too much needs to come out to fold this one up just because he's assumed room temp.

And are doing everything they can to Cover up and Bury any evidence that might implicate Powerful People in America, Australia and Europe.

Like I said and got and will get grief for but that doesn’t matter to me - NO ONE was EVER going to prison.

epstein was in jail and he wouldn’t have even been there if everyone didn’t try to whack Trump’s pick for not getting a harsher sentence against epstein some years ago.

They didn’t know it would lead to his getting arrested again and then KILLED.

I’m glad he’s dead.

It’s only by a fluke.

We knew he was gonna be murdered. Quite a few said that here while he was in jail.

It would take a MASSIVE outcry by the public and if someone organized that, maybe it would work.

Who thinks that’s gonna happen?

This “Federal” investigation would get more attention in a McDonald’s drive through.

They did that to Pope Formosus (search ‘Cadaver Synod’), so there is legal precedent...

Well there is precedent. After the Restoration, Charles II had those who had his dad beheaded, dealt with—including the dead Oliver Cromwell. His body was exhumed and beheaded, the head being displayed on a pike.

“authorities are still considering charging others accused in the alleged underage sex ring. “

The others are people on the outer ring, they have no ideal who is in the inter ring. Two rings in are the very powerful puppet masters who control become who and who is who.

The Powerful puppet masters are the ones who order Epstein’s murder to protect the inner ring.

NOT SURPRISED THE FEDS WANT TO DISMISS THE EPSTEIN CHARGES
BECAUSE SOME OF THE FEDS WERE CO-CONSPIRATORS.

So here he is in witness protection with a new identity and new appearance ... and the feds agree to drop all charges as part of the deal ... his Will is to a trust in the US Virgin Islands (I believe) ... so he’ll have access to his wealth and a new life. Nice reward for a blackmailing Mossad agent who would have brought down many houses (including the CIA) if things had stayed their course.

Plenty of In-n-Out burgers in his future...

Like the British Lt. said in Quiggly down under, when he was asked about taking 2 dead prisoners back for trial. “The trial will not be lengthy.”

Charles II punished through execution or life in prison nearly all the parliamentarians who signed the writ authorizing beheading his dad who were not already dead

49

24 already dead

Plus the two executioners

He and the new parliament were serious about purging the Roundhead puritans

And digging up the dead...Lordy

Last real King of England Charles II
