Judge orders case against Epstein over
The Hill ^ | 08/29/19 | Rebecca Klar

Posted on 08/29/2019 10:57:56 AM PDT by yesthatjallen

A federal judge on Thursday ordered the sex trafficking case in New York against Jeffrey Epstein to be dismissed following the financier's death in a Manhattan jail earlier this month.

U.S. District Judge Richard Berman signed a "nolle prosequi," ruling that the case will be dismissed, according to a copy of the document obtained by The Hill.

“Because Jeffrey Epstein, the defendant, died while this case was pending, and therefore before a final judgment was issued, the Indictment must be dismissed under the rule of abatement,” the filing reads.

The ruling does not mean that federal prosecutors can't still pursue a conspiracy investigation surrounding the allegations against Epstein, NBC News reported.

Prosecutors had maintained earlier this month that Epstein's apparent suicide would not stop efforts to pursue justice for alleged victims in the case.

Berman had previously said he would allow the criminal case against Epstein to continue until after the disgraced financier's accusers had a chance to testify in court.

How can it be over? He had accomplices! All sorts of ghouls surrounding and helping the monster need to be tried as well. Especially the “Handler”. Now there’s a piece of human excrement that never needs to see the light of day again.

There’ll be some major high-end cocktail drinking over this in the days ahead.
Maybe some spirit cooking and Haitian black magic, too.
And certainly some children’s charity contributions.

Funny how the court made sure we knew everything about the girls Epstein doinked, but the files about politicians were sealed. Basically they got a few lurid stories out there to distract everybody, and the important stuff, like what politicians were involved. That all got buried. We got nothing more than names about the politicians. But no details.

Comey won't be prosecuted, and now the Epstein clientele can enjoy a sigh of relief that they will not be pursued for their crimes either.

It has been a good day for the Elites who violate our laws.

Yep.

Ya know there’s gotta be killers to make these powerful peoples’ wishes come true.

Who are these killers who are so closed mouthed that the powers that be never worry about them talking if they get caught for another crime?

Diogenes thought he was searching in vain for an honest man among Greeks, but he never met the Democrats. He really was too hard on the Greeks.
