Prosecutors Try To Re-open Jeffery Epstein’s Case

Epstein played the intel game:

Nearly 10 years after billionaire Jeffrey Epstein signed a plea deal that let him escape federal prosecution on charges of sexually abusing dozens of teenage girls at his Palm Beach mansion, the 64-year-old politically-connected money manager faces the possibility that the agreement could be thrown out…

U.S. government lawyers in September will have another chance to defend themselves against allegations that they violated the federal Crime Victims’ Rights Act by failing to alert Epstein’s victims of the terms of what some describe as a “sweetheart deal.” Marra could make a decision as early as this fall…

If Marra dismisses the lawsuit, “then the government will never have to give any information in any case to any victim,” they wrote, urging him to uphold the provisions of the 13-year-old federal law…

Marra has already ruled that if he finds that federal prosecutors violated the act, he will consider throwing out the plea deal that Epstein signed with federal prosecutors in 2007. Miami attorney Roy Black, one of dozens of high-profile lawyers who has represented Epstein, claims that would be manifestly unfair.

As part of the unusual non-prosecution agreement, which wasn’t shared with victims for nearly a year while and after it was being negotiated, federal prosecutors agreed not to pursue charges that could have sent Epstein to prison for life. In exchange, Epstein in 2008 pleaded guilty in Palm Beach County Circuit Court to two Florida criminal charges — one count each of soliciting a minor for prostitution and soliciting prostitution. He served 13 months of an 18-month sentence in a vacant wing of the county stockade — a cell he was allowed to leave 16 hours a day, six days a week…

In most of the cases they cited, the mistakes were the result of oversights. But Edward and Cassell wrote, “The undisputed facts of this case prove that, rather than forthrightly discharging its obligations to numerous child sexual assault victims, the government chose to enter into a secret deal with the man who had victimized them.”

Federal prosecutors have said they didn’t reveal the terms of the non-prosecution agreement because they feared Epstein and his high-powered attorneys were trying to circumvent it.

This was the guy who invited all sorts of powerful government officials on his jet and to his private island, which was reportedly filled with hidden video cameras, and then had his private harem of underage girls made available to them. Then strangely enough, when he is caught using a gaggle of under-aged girls for sexual purposes, the prosecution bends over backwards to sweep everything under the carpet.

What is interesting is I assume the prosecutors who let him off were not among those feted at his properties. That implies a network, which pulled rank on them, and controls events from a distance.

This is the terminal phase of a Roman collapse. The only thing which has prevented a fall into outright tyranny is the brilliance of the system conceived by the Founders. No matter who seizes control at the top, or how complete they manage to control parts of the machine, the system always makes room for honest people somewhere, and gives them enough power to fight back and re-establish honesty and freedom. Of course the most important part of the equation is a government which needs to appear as honest as possible, lest a heavily armed civilian populace no longer consent to be governed by it

If you ever loose faith in humanity, remember that all you have to do to establish good is arm the entire populace.

Because no matter the evil you see or hear about, people on the whole are good – and K-selected.
