Senate Investigating Mueller FBI’s Prosecution Of “Orgy Island Billionaire” Jeffrey Epstein

7237

Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced New York financier who served 13 months in prison for soliciting an underaged girl for prostitution, has served his time, and despite all of the negative press surrounding his “Lolita Express” and the many celebrities and politicians - including former President Bill Clinton and disgraced actor Kevin Spacey - who have reportedly traveled to his “orgy island”, he will likely live out his life as a free man (unless new offenses are committed).

But thanks to a series published by the Miami Herald last year that delved into how prosecutors worked with powerful defense attorneys to ensure Epstein received such a lenient sentence. The expose shed a light on the role played by Alex Acosta, who went on to become Trump’s Secretary of Labour, in handing down the light sentence. Acosta was the US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida at the time Epstein’s sentence was handed down.

Now, thanks to those stories, the DOJ has reportedly opened an investigation into the conduct of DOJ attorneys in the case, and whether they committed “professional misconduct” in their working relationship with Epstein’s attorneys.

The probe was opened in response to a request lodged by Sen. Ben Sasse, a a Nebraska Republican and member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, who raised questions about the case after reading the Herald’s stories about how Acosta and other DOJ attorneys worked with defense attorneys to cut a lenient plea deal for Epstein back in 2008, per the Herald.

At the time, the FBI was run by Robert Mueller.

Though the reasons for the lenient deal could be rooted in the natural advantages of the wealthy, one Twitter user who did a deep dive into a cache of redacted FBI Vault documents released last year raised the possibility that Epstein could have been an informant for the FBI, providing information on executives from failed investment bank Bear Stearns in exchange for the lenient sentence (though there’s nothing in his guilty plea that suggested he provided information).

To be sure, records show that Epstein passed a polygraph test showing that he didn’t know any of the girls he solicited were under the age of 18 at the time. Also, the case has taken on renewed importance since opposition research shops tried to link President Trump to Epstein during the campaign.

While that hasn’t been conclusively proven, it could have been part of a separate agreement that has yet to be disclosed.

    • This is a waste of my time reading this. Unless the lowlifes in DC can somehow blame Epstein’s sole existence on Trump it’s not going anywhere. The deal was already made on Epstein before he was ever charged much like the Hillary email thing. If I live another 77 years I’ll never see anyone so blatantly spit in the face of justice as the FBI did to allow and Hillary did in destroying all of the incriminating devices. Our justice system was totally destroyed during the Obama reign of deception.

      • You hit the nail right on the head. There is something seriously wrong in Washington and the DC swamp is doing everything humanly possible to make sure it never sees the light of day. CITIZENS MUST DO EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO SUPPORT POTUS TRUMP EXPOSING THE WHOLE ROTTEN MESS!!

  3. What needs to be investigated is why this POS was given a ridiculous lenient sentence. Who recommended this and who in the FBI/DOJ and Obama administration were involved in these recommendations. If any of these underage kids were my child this trash would be in a box the day he was/is released. This is outrageous that our justice system has removed the blindfold and scale from Lady Justice.
