July 11, 2019 Daniel Greenfield Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism. The Florida prosecutor who allowed Jeffrey Epstein to get away with the abuse of children is a very popular guy in Palm Beach.

Now that the media is finally, at long last, interested in the 2006 Jeffrey Epstein child sex case, perhaps we can get an answer to the most intriguing question: Why does he keep escaping justice on essentially the same child molestation charges? The only reason for the media’s flood-the-zone coverage of Epstein -- 13 years late -- is that they think they’ve found a Trump connection. Oh happy day. (Trump was friendly with Epstein 15 years ago -- before banning him from Mar-a-Lago for life after he hit on a young girl working there.) The main hook is: Trump’s Labor...

"I can emphatically state that Mr. Acosta’s recollection of this matter is completely wrong." "As the State Attorney for Palm Beach County for 16 years (1993-2009), which included the entire period of the Epstein investigation, I can emphatically state that Mr. Acosta's recollection of this matter is completely wrong," "Mr. Acosta brokered a secret plea deal that resulted in a Non-Prosecution Agreement in violation of the Crime Victim's Rights Act." "Mr. Acosta should not be allowed to rewrite history." https://twitter.com/MikeDelMoro/status/1149078203614580736

The media is very eager to talk about Acosta. It seems much less interested in bringing up the name of the guy who gave Jeffrey Epstein a pass. Barry Krischer. There were really just two people willing to risk their careers to go after Epstein: Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter and Detective Joseph Recarey. In their first on-the-record media interviews about the case, Reiter and Recarey revealed new details about the investigation, and how they were, in their view, pressured by then-Palm Beach State Attorney Barry Krischer to downgrade the case to a misdemeanor or drop it altogether. Krischer...

Strangely, the media have suddenly taken an intense interest in the case of pedophile and major Democratic donor Jeffrey Epstein. In 2005, the Palm Beach police were told by the mother of a young girl in West Palm Beach that her daughter had been brought to the Democratic donor's mansion and asked to have sex with him for money. This kicked off an intensive, one-year undercover investigation. The police sifted through Epstein's garbage and interviewed 17 witnesses, including the housemen, who told of sex toys and dildos left behind after the underage girls left. One of Epstein's procurers, a 20-year-old...

IT’S BEEN seven months since Florida prosecutor Barry Krischer opened his investigation into Rush Limbaugh's pain-pill addiction, and still no charges have been brought. It's not for lack of trying. In a legal foray that increasingly has the look of a partisan political campaign, Mr. Krischer has pulled out all the stops to nail the conservative talk-show host. Regardless of one's political views, the case has troubling connotations for tens of thousands of Americans whose efforts to combat chronic pain result in addiction. It all began early last year, when Rush's former Palm Beach housekeeper, Wilma Cline, approached the National...

Limbaugh attacks Krischer in adsBy Susan Spencer-Wendel, Palm Beach Post Staff Writer Friday, May 14, 2004WEST PALM BEACH -- Rush Limbaugh's rage -- toned down recently as judges mull the use of his medical records -- popped out in full-page ads Thursday in South Florida newspapers.The ads attack State Attorney Barry Krischer for his "politically motivated" investigation of Limbaugh for alleged doctor shopping. They were bought by the company which distributes Limbaugh's popular conservative talk show.Limbaugh is under investigation by the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office for allegedly obtaining duplicate prescriptions from doctors, a felony in Florida, but...

<p>There can be little doubt that legal actions against Rush Limbaugh are politically motivated. The radio commentator with 20 million listeners is one of the most able communicators of conservative political ideas in America. It is hard to imagine that the historic Republican takeover of Congress in 1994 would have happened without Mr. Limbaugh articulating the virtues of smaller government day in and day out over the airwaves. It is no surprise that liberals would sink to any level to try to silence such an important conservative voice. But the evidence against Mr. Limbaugh's accusers is not merely circumstantial. The case they have made and how they have made it exposes the whole prosecution as a partisan witchhunt.</p>

The Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office ("SAO") filed a brief with the 4th District Court of Appeal's this week trying to defend its seizure of Rush Limbaugh's confidential medical records. In the brief, the Democrat prosecutor admits the following: "The State will not be in a position to know what it can charge, if anything, until the records are reviewed." This is amazing!!! In the letters back and forth between Roy Black and the SAO, which were released illegally and are now the subject of an ethics investigation being conducted by the Florida Bar against the SAO, the SAO...

You have to hand it to the Palm Beach Post. It doesn't let either principle or consistency get in the way of its own zeal to punish a conservative for his views. And not just any conservative: Rush Limbaugh. Sadly, many conservatives are either unaware of what's occurring, or don't care enough to speak against it. First, a little background information. The state attorney in Palm Beach County, Democrat Barry Krischer, has spent more than a year and hundreds thousands of dollars trying - without success - to find a criminal charge to bring against Rush. Rush has made no...

Florida AG's Gleason says Palm Beach State Attorney misrepresented what she said. Assistant AG Pat Gleason's letter says SAO's memo to the media omitted "critical parts of our discussion." "This is disappointing to me personally and professionally," Gleason says.

Caller's office received a public records request in Rush Limbaugh case. File includes letters from atty in SAO to Roy Black, defense counsel. Checked with AG's office and AG says the files are public records except there are two letters which include plea negotiations which are not normally to be revealed so may or may not be public record. ...
