Lawmaker says she’s been told to back off call for probe of Jeffrey Epstein’s work release
Miami Herald ^ | July 25, 2019 | JULIE K. BROWN

Florida Sen. Lauren Book has reached out to Capitol police after receiving an anonymous warning connected to her demand for a state inquiry into Palm Beach Sheriff Ric Bradshaw’s handling of accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s lenient work release program, the Miami Herald has learned.

Book, a vocal advocate for child sexual assault survivors, said she also received more than a dozen calls by Bradshaw’s political supporters asking her to back off on her call for an investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement into Bradshaw.

Book, in an interview with the Herald, said she also asked the Capitol police, who handle security for state lawmakers, to look into claims made on a Russian website alleging that Bradshaw was behind an effort to access her phone and emails by using a pretext of “imminent danger’’ to obtain her personal information.

“I’ve received countless phone calls saying ‘Little girl you don’t know what you’re getting into,’ and telling me that I should just stop,’’ said Book, a child sexual abuse survivor who has worked to pass strict sex offender laws in Florida.

This thing needs to be blown wide open.

Florida Sen. Lauren Book, even though democrat, better hire a full time squad of bodyguards.

Kinda get the feeling that’s what she’s doing by going to the press as well as the Capitol Police.

This could go beyond the Clintons into Law Enforcement, Secret Service and FBI-CIA.

The only way some of this could have been blocked for decades is Law enforcement involvement.

Aren’t the Capital Police in the Clinton’s pocket? Aren’t they the ones that arranged the Fort Marcy Park scam all those years ago?

She’s not guilty.

But since she’s a democrat I suspect...
Silence is golden.
Duct tape is silver.

But I support her efforts on this case.

Remember that when you see stories about the sex abuse in the Catholic Church. The only way those filthy predators were able to get away with what they did is because in many cases local (and federal) law enforcement protected them -- sometimes even from their own bishops and the laity.

Thank Gd for people who will still speak out even when threatened. We need to stop this child abuse industry now.

It doesn’t matter who it is. The guilty need to pay. We need to prevent more of these rings. The powerful get away with way too much.
