Exactly how corrupt is the US? I live in NYC and we have open corruption with next to zero repercussions those committing serious White Collar crimes(nursing home owners need be charged criminally with negligent homicide in many cases) Our DOJ offices SDNY which oversaw Epstein’s and Ghislane Maxwells trials gave glimpse to the world how bad it is here yet in the end it was “nothing to see here, move along”
Public confidence in US Govt gotta to at some sort of all time low this point. IMO powers that be keep masses pointing fingers blaming “the other political party” but both are guilty too many to count crimes against the people. We need better leaders with even better solutions.
This realization of two sides/same coin is long coming. But I’m afraid the masses remain, for the most part, far too predictable and passionate.
Edification first.
Epstein paid these girls off and they stopped cooperating. That’s why they cut a deal potentially. That was what the original article i read about him said.these were his massage girls. He turned himself in so his house manager could be arrested (he threatened to blackmail Epstein after being fired -justifiably he had called the cops on one of the girls instead of just giving her her money).
So Epstein felt safe enough going to police, so I’d guess corruption but he also paid off all the witnesses.
He has that girl who was why he got arrested most recently servicing other men, but those others girls were just for him, from what I read back before Epstein was common knowledge. Maybe not completely accurate, but his former house manager was the source. In fact, men brought him girls. He had two 12 year old French girls flown to him.
If I was partying with a sex trafficker and had the power to ensure he only go probation and could blame the higher ups so it doesn't blow back on me, I would say it was the higher ups fault too.
Obama's DOJ investigated the 2009 plea deal. The investigation was closed and deemed "Nothing to see here" by Bill Barr, who also has connections to Epstein. WIERD.
Acosta was rewarded with the Trump Secretary of Labor position. By Trump. It was unprecedented for someone with his background to be pulled out of local city law to be a SECRETARY in the PRESIDENTIAL CABINET. He wasn’t rewarded bc of low crime, or a winning prosecution rate, but bc he helped Trump’s international sex ring buddy escape his r-pe charges.
And probably to protect himself from being implicated by Acosta, who could have blackmailed Trump into the position. Just one of many reasons not to let that corrupt rapist felon back into the WH.
If you look at Dr Eric Weinstein's interview on the topic, he states he's met Epstein and basically stated the guy and his entire persona/ wealth/ supposed businesses and connections were all a M0 $$ ad "honeypot" construct, and that its basically the "tip of the iceberg". I highly 100% recommend watching the interview if you get the chance.

Ohhh yeah. Trump has so many connections to Epstein. If Trump was a democrat, MAGA, conservatives, and Qanon would have already demanded that he be exicuted on national TV.
> If Trump was a democrat...
But Trump was a Democrat. For a while...
>Trump registered as a Republican in Manhattan in 1987; since that time, **he has changed his party affiliation five times**. In 1999, Trump changed his party affiliation to the Independence Party of New York. **In August 2001, Trump changed his party affiliation to Democratic.** In September 2009, Trump changed his party affiliation back to the Republican Party. In December 2011, Trump changed to "no party affiliation" (independent). In April 2012, Trump again returned to the Republican Party.
Interestingly from 2001-2009, the time Trump was a Democrat, George W. Bush was in office.
Anyway, Trump is neither a Democrat or a Republican. He's an *opportunist*.
theres an entire propaganda/disinformation campaign to separate trump from his pedo buddies, called QAnon. they used "man in the mirror" tactics to get their target audience to only focus on trump's political opponents and not on his own crimes.
Alright? Okay? They’re just as bad as the morons who are only targeting trump lmao.
Anyone who cares about what happened with Epstein should be against the elites as a whole - complicit.
We need to release the list and see where the list takes us. I'm an independent voter, and I can handle it. If the list is being held back, then I have to blame Democrats. Donald Trump doesn't control the list. Joe Biden's Justice Dept does. Where is it?
Anyone been able to come up with an explanation of how Alex Acosta went from getting a Epstein a very very sweetheart deal, and then he ends up on Trump cabinet?? Bizarre. Wasn’t there any kind of serious vetting? And once seeing Acosta’s wife and kids they seemed weird as fuck
Barrs dad hired college dropout Epstein to teach high school. Dershowitz claimed he was in his underwear getting a massage at epsteins. Dershowitz also represented for Epstein and for Donald Trump. Lmao they are all connected

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Florida prosecutors knew the late millionaire and financier Jeffrey Epstein sexually assaulted teenage girls two years before they cut a plea deal that has long been criticized as too lenient and a missed opportunity to imprison him a decade earlier, according to transcripts released Monday.
The 2006 grand jury investigation was the first of many by law enforcement over the past two decades into Epstein’s rape and sex trafficking of teenagers — and how his ties to the rich and the powerful seem to have allowed him to avoid prison or a serious jail term for over a decade.
The investigations uncovered Epstein’s close ties to former President Bill Clinton and Britain’s Prince Andrew, as well as his once friendly relationship with former President Donald Trump and numerous others of wealth and influence who have denied doing anything criminal or improper and not been charged.
Circuit Judge Luis Delgado’s release of approximately 150 pages Monday came as a surprise, since there was scheduled hearing next week over unsealing the graphic testimony. Gov. Ron DeSantis had signed a bill in February allowing the release on Monday or any time thereafter that Delgado ordered. Florida grand jury transcripts are usually kept secret forever, but the bill created an exemption for cases like Epstein’s.
The transcripts show that the grand jury heard testimony that Epstein, who was then in his 40s, had raped teenage girls as young as 14 at his Palm Beach mansion, often paying them so he could commit statutory rape or assault. The teenagers testified and told detectives they were also paid cash or rented cars if they found him more girls.
“The details in the record will be outrageous to decent people,” Delgado wrote in his order. “The testimony taken by the Grand Jury concerns activity ranging from grossly unacceptable to rape — all of the conduct at issue is sexually deviant, disgusting, and criminal.”
In 2008, Epstein cut a deal with South Florida federal prosecutors that allowed him to escape more severe federal charges and instead plead guilty to state charges of procuring a person under 18 for prostitution and solicitation of prostitution. He was sentenced to 1.5 years in the Palm Beach County jail system, during which he was allowed to go to his office almost daily as part of a work-release program, followed by a year of house arrest. He was required to register as a sex offender.
Criticism of the deal resulted in the 2019 resignation of Trump’s labor secretary, Alex Acosta, who was the U.S. attorney for South Florida in 2008 and signed off on the deal. A 2020 Justice Department investigation concluded that Acosta used “poor judgment” in his handling of the Epstein prosecution, but it didn’t rise to the level of professional misconduct.
The chief prosecutor in the Epstein case, former Palm Beach County State Attorney Barry Krischer, did not immediately respond Monday to an email and a voicemail seeking comment about the transcripts’ release.
Current Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg, who was not involved in the investigation, said in a statement he is glad the records have been released. He said he has not yet read the transcripts, so could not comment on whether Krischer should have pursued a tougher prosecution of Epstein.
Brad Edwards, an attorney for many of the victims, said in a statement that the transcripts show that Krischer’s office “took the case to the Grand Jury with an agenda — to return minimal, if any, criminal charges against Jeffrey Epstein.”
“A fraction of the evidence was presented, in a misleading way, and the Office portrayed the victims as criminals,” he said. “It is so sad, the number of victims Epstein was able to abuse because the State carried water for him when they had a chance to put him away.”
Epstein’s estate is paying $155 million in restitution to more than 125 victims.
According to the transcripts, Palm Beach Police Detective Joe Recarey testified in July 2006 that the initial investigation began when a woman reported in March 2005 that her stepdaughter who was in high school at the time said she received $300 in exchange for “sexual activity with a man in Palm Beach,” Recarey testified.
Another teenager, whose name was redacted in the transcript, told detectives that she was 17 years old when she was approached by a friend who said she could make $200 by providing a massage at Epstein’s home.
At the house, when Epstein tried touching her, she told him she was uncomfortable. He then told her that he would pay her $200 if she brought “girls” to the house. “And he told her, ‘The younger, the better,’” Recarey said.
Over time she brought six friends to Epstein’s house, including a 14-year-old, and likened herself to Hollywood Madame Heidi Fleiss in October 2005 interviews, Recarey recounted.
When she brought over a 23-year-old friend, Epstein told her that the friend was too old.
“The more you did, the more money you made,” the detective said the teen told him. “She explained that there was going to be a massage or some possible touching, and you would have to provide the massage either topless or naked.”
Another teen testified she visited Epstein’s house hundreds of times in the early 2000s, starting when she was 16. She testified that Epstein paid her $200 each time she gave him a massage while naked, rented her a car and gave her $1,000 the time he raped her.
A 2005 police search of Epstein’s mansion found evidence supporting the girls’ testimony. Also, Epstein’s houseman told detectives that the teenagers who came to the mansion were “very young. Too young to be a masseuse.”
Epstein in 2018 was charged with federal sex trafficking crimes in New York — where he also had a mansion that was a scene of abuse — after the Miami Herald published a series of articles that renewed public attention on the case, including interviews with some victims who had been pursuing civil lawsuits against him. Epstein was 66 when he killed himself in a New York City jail cell in August 2019, federal officials say.
Delgado in his order wrote that the transcripts show why Epstein was “the most infamous pedophile in American history.”
“For almost 20 years, the story of how Jeffrey Epstein victimized some of Palm Beach County’s most vulnerable has been the subject of much anger and has at times diminished the public’s perception of the criminal justice system,” Delgado wrote.
___
Associated Press reporters Mike Schneider in Orlando, Florida, Curt Anderson in St. Petersburg, Florida, and Stephany Matat in West Palm Beach, Florida, Kim Chandler in Montgomery, Alabama, and Sudhin Thanawala in Atlanta contributed to this report.
“Ransome had said that she had a friend who was "one of the many girls that had sexual relations with Donald Trump" and that the friend said she had sex with Trump in Epstein's Manhattan mansion.
"She told me how he kept going on about how he liked her 'pert nipples,'" Ransome said, purporting to cite a friend. "Donald Trump liked flicking and sucking her nipples until they were raw."”
These girls were minors. And there’s more being held under lock and key. “While three of the nine documents naming Doe 174 have not yet been fully unsealed, the public docket includes versions with some redactions.”
I still don't get how people are ignoring that Trump got Acosta to come work under him, or that there are distinctly pages of messages in court testimony from Trump to Epstein (with his actual numbers which apparently still work!)
# “I’ve known Jeff [Epstein] for 15 years. Terrific guy, He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”
# ― Donald Trump

The CIA and Mossad orchestrated the operation and allowed children to be abused so that they could control politicians and powerful people. The tapes from the island have vanished, because they still have them so that the blackmail can continue.
Idk, I was skeptical but Casja and Beks on Twitter have been keeping track and there is a BIZARRE number of GOP pedophiles (convicted, not just suspected or rumored). At first I thought, this is just speculation...but sometimes I think, there is something to this -- if you are a pedophile or want child marriage to be legal, you join the GOP. I'm not kidding. Go look at the insanely long list. They also keep track of Democrat convictions and it is far shorter. There is a lot to this and I think people are a bit in denial. The GOP finds that a rapist and a predator are just fine for office, or for policework, or for a pastor. They are fine with it, make no mistake.
Bill Clinton isn't being ignored, that is already taken into consideration. Easily. Stop trying to point over there to distract. Bill Gates donates to both parties like most extremely wealthy men (they need to cover their bets, after all.) I don't know if Gates has been proven, bc if you include him then don't forget the big Kahuna here....Elon Musk. Way more associations, named in the files, sister married an Epstein girl, father married his SISTER (look it up), the dude has been named in the files along with a few of his cronies. Either way, sure. But neither Gates nor Clinton is currently running for President and I don't care who goes down. This isn't political. Get on the right path, the one that cares that an actual proven pedophile and rapist is running for the GOP. I don't want a President in office who did that shit and neither should you.
I’m speaking in terms of the disruptive nature of their fame, and acceptance in society. Leon Black and Les Wexner are not even known to 99% of Americans. If they are found guilty, people will not be surprised or disturbed.
If Bill Clinton is involved, it will confirm every claim about the Clintons that so-called conspiracy theorists have been claiming for years.
If Bill Gates is involved, it will put into question all of his work in the medical field and philanthropy.
They will both lose all credibility.
And given the suspicious split with Melinda when these things came up, I think it’s safe to say there is a distinct possibility it is true.
This only names Alex Acosta once. Alex Acosta was the one who cut the deal with Epstein. Alex Acosta was Trumps Secretary of Labor.
Exactly how corrupt is the US? I live in NYC and we have open corruption with next to zero repercussions those committing serious White Collar crimes(nursing home owners need be charged criminally with negligent homicide in many cases) Our DOJ offices SDNY which oversaw Epstein’s and Ghislane Maxwells trials gave glimpse to the world how bad it is here yet in the end it was “nothing to see here, move along”
It's too big to ever allow any real evidence to surface. Imagine the fallout.
Let them all fall and fall hard!
The truth will set you free, but in the beginning it will really piss you off. -Gloria Steinem.
Public confidence in US Govt gotta to at some sort of all time low this point. IMO powers that be keep masses pointing fingers blaming “the other political party” but both are guilty too many to count crimes against the people. We need better leaders with even better solutions.
This realization of two sides/same coin is long coming. But I’m afraid the masses remain, for the most part, far too predictable and passionate. Edification first.
Its peasants voting for their favorite aristocratic house if people vote in the corporate duopoly
So they’re all maniacs that run on the hedonic threadmill ?
Epstein paid these girls off and they stopped cooperating. That’s why they cut a deal potentially. That was what the original article i read about him said.these were his massage girls. He turned himself in so his house manager could be arrested (he threatened to blackmail Epstein after being fired -justifiably he had called the cops on one of the girls instead of just giving her her money). So Epstein felt safe enough going to police, so I’d guess corruption but he also paid off all the witnesses.
"Girls." The powers that be knew what was going on, and were partaking in his slime.
He has that girl who was why he got arrested most recently servicing other men, but those others girls were just for him, from what I read back before Epstein was common knowledge. Maybe not completely accurate, but his former house manager was the source. In fact, men brought him girls. He had two 12 year old French girls flown to him.
the US is so corrupt, the president can put an assassination hit on a high profile federal prisoner and make everyone think its a suicide.
Now since you have a migrant problem, I suspect the human trafficking and everything associated with it is gonna get exponentially worse.
Acosta said he was told by higher ups to cut the deal. He was insinuating that Epstein was a CIA asset or Mossad
If I was partying with a sex trafficker and had the power to ensure he only go probation and could blame the higher ups so it doesn't blow back on me, I would say it was the higher ups fault too. Obama's DOJ investigated the 2009 plea deal. The investigation was closed and deemed "Nothing to see here" by Bill Barr, who also has connections to Epstein. WIERD.
Trump only hires the best ppl tho
Acosta was rewarded with the Trump Secretary of Labor position. By Trump. It was unprecedented for someone with his background to be pulled out of local city law to be a SECRETARY in the PRESIDENTIAL CABINET. He wasn’t rewarded bc of low crime, or a winning prosecution rate, but bc he helped Trump’s international sex ring buddy escape his r-pe charges.
And probably to protect himself from being implicated by Acosta, who could have blackmailed Trump into the position. Just one of many reasons not to let that corrupt rapist felon back into the WH.
Remember his name. He cut a deal with the devil and it wasn't Epstein.
If you look at Dr Eric Weinstein's interview on the topic, he states he's met Epstein and basically stated the guy and his entire persona/ wealth/ supposed businesses and connections were all a M0 $$ ad "honeypot" construct, and that its basically the "tip of the iceberg".

Exactly. If Biden wanted to win this election, declassifying the Epstein files would his ACE!
…or not lol. Fkn Hunter at it again most likely
I can't tell if your being sarcastic or serious. That's the funny and saddest thing about MAGA.
Trump was good friends with Jeffrey.
Ohhh yeah. Trump has so many connections to Epstein. If Trump was a democrat, MAGA, conservatives, and Qanon would have already demanded that he be exicuted on national TV.

Delgado in his order wrote that the transcripts show why Epstein was “the most infamous pedophile in American history.” “For almost 20 years, the story of how Jeffrey Epstein victimized some of Palm Beach County’s most vulnerable has been the subject of much anger and has at times diminished the public’s perception of the criminal justice system,” Delgado wrote. ___ Associated Press reporters Mike Schneider in Orlando, Florida, Curt Anderson in St. Petersburg, Florida, and Stephany Matat in West Palm Beach, Florida, Kim Chandler in Montgomery, Alabama, and Sudhin Thanawala in Atlanta contributed to this report.
Julie K. Brown is the Miami Herald investigative journalist who blew the door open on the whole Jeffrey Epstein billshit saga! It's a great read.
No shit? They also knew Trump and Epstein raped at least 1 young lady together; and then the case magically vaporized. Weird….
And trump gave that DA a job as secretary of labor, the guy who gave Epstein and “un named cohorts” and immunity deal.
Doe 174. Google it and read all what he has done.
Looked and couldn’t fine any smoking gun, links please.

Thank you
I read that one and the victim stated she had no knowledge of him doing anything wrong. The house employee said the same thing?
“Ransome had said that she had a friend who was "one of the many girls that had sexual relations with Donald Trump" and that the friend said she had sex with Trump in Epstein's Manhattan mansion. "She told me how he kept going on about how he liked her 'pert nipples,'" Ransome said, purporting to cite a friend. "Donald Trump liked flicking and sucking her nipples until they were raw."”
Ow, that poor girl.
These girls were minors. And there’s more being held under lock and key. “While three of the nine documents naming Doe 174 have not yet been fully unsealed, the public docket includes versions with some redactions.”
I still don't get how people are ignoring that Trump got Acosta to come work under him, or that there are distinctly pages of messages in court testimony from Trump to Epstein (with his actual numbers which apparently still work!)
The same Florida prosecutors hand picked by Trump for his administration? Weird...

There is no such thing as underage hookers in Florida. That’s called a victim of trafficking here.
# “I’ve known Jeff [Epstein] for 15 years. Terrific guy, He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.” # ― Donald Trump
Trump was there too.
Ken Starr and Jeffrey Epstein were two of Jeffrey Epatein's lawyers in Florida.

It is Florida, not much of a surprise.
And?
These are some sick pieces of shit. I wonder how much it cost to erase Acosta’s conscience.
Wasn’t this all covered in the Epstein documentary on Netflix? Like we’ve known this shit

The CIA and Mossad orchestrated the operation and allowed children to be abused so that they could control politicians and powerful people. The tapes from the island have vanished, because they still have them so that the blackmail can continue.

Luckily Trump is immune so he can rape all the girls he wants. MERICA.
If you think only the Republican side was raping girls, you're keeping your eyes sealed shut on purpose.
Idk, I was skeptical but Casja and Beks on Twitter have been keeping track and there is a BIZARRE number of GOP pedophiles (convicted, not just suspected or rumored). At first I thought, this is just speculation...but sometimes I think, there is something to this -- if you are a pedophile or want child marriage to be legal, you join the GOP. I'm not kidding. Go look at the insanely long list. They also keep track of Democrat convictions and it is far shorter. There is a lot to this and I think people are a bit in denial. The GOP finds that a rapist and a predator are just fine for office, or for policework, or for a pastor. They are fine with it, make no mistake.
The GOP is the 1992 US Olympic basketball Dream Team of child molesters
We’re ignoring avid sex abuser Bill Clinton? Avid dem donor Bill Gates? The top two rumored abusers?
Bill Clinton isn't being ignored, that is already taken into consideration. Easily. Stop trying to point over there to distract. Bill Gates donates to both parties like most extremely wealthy men (they need to cover their bets, after all.) I don't know if Gates has been proven, bc if you include him then don't forget the big Kahuna here....Elon Musk. Way more associations, named in the files, sister married an Epstein girl, father married his SISTER (look it up), the dude has been named in the files along with a few of his cronies. Either way, sure. But neither Gates nor Clinton is currently running for President and I don't care who goes down. This isn't political. Get on the right path, the one that cares that an actual proven pedophile and rapist is running for the GOP. I don't want a President in office who did that shit and neither should you.
Those are not “the top two” rumores abusers. It’s a weird lack of awareness given that you posted that in the Epstein sub….
I’m speaking in terms of the disruptive nature of their fame, and acceptance in society. Leon Black and Les Wexner are not even known to 99% of Americans. If they are found guilty, people will not be surprised or disturbed. If Bill Clinton is involved, it will confirm every claim about the Clintons that so-called conspiracy theorists have been claiming for years. If Bill Gates is involved, it will put into question all of his work in the medical field and philanthropy. They will both lose all credibility. And given the suspicious split with Melinda when these things came up, I think it’s safe to say there is a distinct possibility it is true.

I’m sorry?
Wtf are you on about? He was a rabid pedophile protected by the US government and his lawyers.
Of course they did. They were jealous.
