Jeffrey Epstein arrested for child sex trafficking

[catsmate]

Pelosi's daughter says some of their "faves" could be implicated in the Epstein case, so you guys are cruising the wrong side of the aisle as usual.

Is there some actual meaning in this drivel?

 

[catsmate]

Not to mention that there's no suggestions whatsoever of any sinister satanic conspiracy. At most you have a rich guy who basically got away with a slap on the wrist only because he could afford expensive well connected attorneys and had friends in high places, something that would hardly be unprecedented and something shocking.

Nor any pizza...

I'm on the side of the facts on every issue. Best way to get things right.

Breaking. Acosta is resigning over the Epstein deal.

The dude kept underage sex slaves and, allegedly, pimped them out to other rich and famous people. That kind of leaf is unlikely to be turned.

^Bingo^

My swag is that even as we post there's a plea deal in the works and Epstein will not implicate any other individuals involved in his crimes.

Another big win for the leftists. The only guy to put Epstein in jail and force him to register as a sex offender has resigned, and all of the people who did nothing in every applicable jurisdiction around the world are still employed. Huge victory. Savor it.

It’s almost as if the Dear Leader cultists were wrong about something. Again.

You have posted an alarming amount of salt.

Not new news but quite appalling.
NY Prosecutor argues for lower sex offender level for Epstein

Ms. Gaffney, who was a senior sex crimes prosecutor, argued during the hearing that Mr. Epstein did not merit the highest offender status because he had not been indicted in Florida on all of the accusations against him. Several of his accusers had refused to cooperate, she told the judge, court records show.
..

“If an offender is not indicted for an offense, it is strong evidence that the offense did not occur,” Ms. Gaffney said.

The judge said she had done many sex-offender registration hearings with defendants “much less troubling than this one” and that prosecutors “would never make a downward argument like this.”

No clue if it made the news back when it happened but that's some weird stuff to be hearing from a senior sex crimes prosecutor.

As horrific as this is, it's a symptom of a greater issue. In the US - and in the UK - there's a two or three tier justice system - wealth based, of course - that is, I believe, a problem.

You are always going to have a problem since the wealthy will always be able to hire better lawyers then the average suspect..and I don't see any way of fixing that that is not worse then the problem.....but the kind of special Treatment that Epstein got was really ,really, an outrage.

Too bad the Victorian level rules on language this site has keeps you from using the S word you really mean....

But the way that BB blindly defends everything Trump and his minions do is truly incredible.

And I note a devout member of the cult posted right before you...

Every new fact revealed seems indicative of a full-on conspiracy rather than the ability to use high-quality lawyers on an unlimited budget to tip the scales.

Trump is kind of an exception to that rule. He can afford to hire better lawyers, but doesn't.

 

[JoeMorgue]

I'm trying to imagine a member of one of my "tribes" I wouldn't happily throw under the bus if news came out that they were running a child rape ring.

I'm trying to imagine hating a group so much that raped children and members of my own tribe would be "acceptable losses" in taking them down a notch.

I'm trying to imagine any scenario in which I'm happy this happening because it does damage to someone I hate.

I got nothing.

Better lawyers can afford to be a bit choosier about who they represent. Representing a child molester is one thing, but Donald Trump?

Better late than never.

The douchebag-in-chief might even have been close enough to Epstein to get some of this splashed on him, but unfortunately going after a sitting president for sexcapades is a no-goer.

Oh, I absoutley agree. Prosecution should not play favorites the way Acosta did.

It really is bizarre. The only way I can make (some kind of) sense out of all this is to imagine a briefcase full of cash being involved, or some really twisted blackmail.

I did genuinely mean salt. I mean, read the thing. It is the most bitter excuse-making for incompetence and rationalizing of a pathetic performance I have seen in some time.

Its like those sheriffs who say the crime rate went down in their town 'cause they stopped arresting people.

But the way that BB blindly defends everything Trump and his minions do is truly incredible.

Its pretty sad. Isn't he another one who said he was leaving?

ETA: A yes, he did after some embarrassing salt and rationalization of the MAGAbomber.
