Billionaire Jeffrey Epstein arrested and charged with sex trafficking

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Convicted pedophile arrested on the tarmac after he jets in from France as FBI agents break down the door of his NYC mansion to execute search warrant.

Federal prosecutors with the US Attorney's office in Manhattan filed sex trafficking charges against Jeffrey Epstein on Saturday

He was taken into custody after his private jet touched down from Paris on Saturday at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey

Epstein will appear in court Monday, 11 years after he received a sweetheart deal and avoided federal charges despite allegations he molested over 30 minors

The plea deal Epstein agreed to back in 2008 saved the accused child rapist from having to register as a sex offender in 31 of 50 states

The US Attorney's Office and a spokesperson with the New York Police Department both declined to comment on Saturday

This week, 2,000 pages of records that could reveal how he and his accused accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell allegedly trafficked underage girls were unsealed

Alex Acosta, the U.S. Attorney who cut that plea deal with Mr. Epstein back in 2008, is now President Trump’s labour secretary. And the president himself was Mr. Epstein’s neighbour in Florida. This sure looks like a play to get — or at least weaken — Trump, else why do it now instead of any time in the last decade?

#3 It's this system of plea deals that is to blame. The bastard provided some securities fraud information about low-lying fruit, and walked from molestation to rape and child p0rnograpghy. Political expediency, and his vague link with Trump. Now they just have to to after him, so every paper and CNN can produce bylines like 'Trump Pal Arrested For Sex Trafficking', and 'Friend and Neighbor of Trump A sex offender.'

#4 Does anybody get the feeling that Epstein is not long for this world?

#5 This will be very interesting if Jeffrey starts talking.

Look to see who would be in charge of the investigation. If it is a straight shooter, expect the deep state to go into hiding/lash out.

If it is a Clinton/Obubmle crony, expect the target to be Trump and the investigation to be in full swing with lots of leaks by mid 2020.

#8 Federal prosecutors with the US Attorney's office in Manhattan

These guys are no friends of Trump.

And Comey's daughter is one of them.

Memo to Donnie: This is what happens when you screw around about draining the swamp. They see it as weakness and go even harder to get you.

But keep touting the stock market and the low unemployment rates of demos that will never vote for you.

#9 Maybe justice will be done. Several things are currently going on that may cause this to happen:

1. A new AG who seems sincere in his efforts to clean up a lot of festering sores that were created in the Obama and earlier administrations,

2. The desire by the people to rid ourselves of a two-tier system of justice,

3. The sense that justice was not satisfied in the earlier Epstein case,

4. Many young under-aged women were sexually abused and did not receive due process,

5. The recent NXIVM trial have had a positive effect on the coming Epstein case (no one is above the law and no one is below the law),

6. The fact that people are sick of the Swamp and how it operates,

7. Election time is coming and the time might be right for reforms in bureaucracy and the judicial system.

8. The #MeTooMovement, has created a reaction (albeit often a made-up and sometime a hysterical reaction) that may have a positive effect in this case.

So yeah, maybe justice will be done.

#11 #9 1. A new AG who seems sincere in his efforts to clean up a lot of festering sores that were created in the Obama and earlier administrations,

I'm less certain about that now

#12 Weasel Zippers on Trump and Epstein:
With the arrest of Jeffrey Epstein, it’s prompting some to look at the association he had with people like Presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton.

Yes, Trump knew Epstein, he was a neighbor and hung out at Mar-a-Lago. But there were some fundamental facts being left out of the equation.

When Epstein apparently tried to solicit a Mar-a-Lago employee who was around 18 years old, Trump/Mar-a-Lago banned him, according to Page Six in 2007.

Meanwhile, the Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach last night confirmed a Web site report that Epstein has been banned there. “He would use the spa to try to procure girls. But one of them, a masseuse about 18 years old, he tried to get her to do things,” a source told us. “Her father found out about it and went absolutely ape-[bleep]. Epstein’s not allowed back.”

And when the lawyer for some of the victims, Brad Edwards was subpoenaing people and trying to get information, he said Trump was one of the only people who voluntarily talked to him in 2009, provided information and helped him in the case against Epstein
