Suggestive, yes, but a long way from definitive. I'm pretty sure there are at least a hundred men in Epstein's rolodex about which you could say the same. Epstein "collected" them.
True. Only a few are current in positions of power. And, likely only a certain percentage broke the law....in any provable way.

As Trump fans have told us time and time again, it's not misdeeds that matter. ALL that matters is whether you can get away with them or not.

Acosta may have come up short, but he did not abandon the matter completely, the way the Palm Beach DA apparently did.

In any case, there is apparently a DOJ team investigating how all of this was handled. If there was any corruption by the prosecutors, whether state or federal, they should hold those people accountable to the fullest extent of the law.
Agreed - but you'd have to know a bit about Florida to understand.

That is, the entire system in Florida is crooked to the max from the top to the bottom. No exceptions. For the one that you will eventually find out about, there are 100 more in the powerful positions.

Well - just to be closer to the mark, let me state it as 90 or 95%. There may be an uncompromised official somewhere in Florida but I've never yet seen one. Drug money, russian money, S. American money, mob money, developer money.....ag money, phosphate mining money, dump the dioxin in the creek money (paper plants) and much more.

In theory they should lock up 10's of thousands of Floridians. But they won't. The Fox watch the Chickens and there may be a sacrificial lamb or two so that the Mob can celebrate and go back to their TV.

The FACTS are that the Palm Beach DA did not file charges against Epstein and that the only charges filed against him were the federal charges filed by Acosta.

It it is "not so" that the Palm Beach County DA did not file charges and was ready to let Epstein walk free, then do please post the details of the charges that the Palm Beach DA filed, along with the disposition of that case by the court and any punishment that Epstein received as a result of the charges filed against him by the Palm Beach County DA.

Otherwise, your post is just a fabrication with nothing to support it.
The DA has said that Acosta has his facts wrong. I can easily ask you to prove he is wrong.

Please provide information about the charges brought against Epstein by the Palm Beach County DA.

I do not have to. I never said they were filed. That does not mean that none would have been.

I also can't prove that the local D.A. filed an illegal agreement. I can with Acosta.

I should believe the guy that was willing to do that? Someone almost certainly had to have lied to the judge to get this approved.

I find it amazing the amount of people who feel a need to defend what went on here.

Hmm...would have to play it by ear...

The first question I would ask is why this hypothetical female relative continued attending parties where she had previously been sexually assaulted.

Trump is a lifelong racketeer. He also cannot have a foundation due to his siphoning off money from a kid's cancer charity.

Trumps cred was shot before 1990 with the Taj bankruptcy.
He has no reputation left to save.....just his own arse....

Stupidity? Manipulation? Gullibility? Intimidation? Who knows. Whatever it was, they were taken advantage of.
