Jeffrey Epstein Co-Conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell Finally Convicted
Posts
Blackmail, presumably.
It's actually common for the uber wealthy to give someone power of attorney. There are just so many documents to sign and deals to be made to manage that amount of money and property, so they give over the power of attorney to avoid having that become their full-time job.
This is also the root of many, many financial crimes and scandals.
I'm willing to bet that once they start subpoenaing bank records and financials, that things start turning even darker.
This makes it sound like he was an intelligence service asset or informant or something.
Or acosta is just flat out lying to cover up powerful rich men told him not to.

I'm endlessly grateful to posters here for connecting the dots on stories like this; thank you, everyone! :heartbeat:
You'd think they would learn by now exactly how much it doesn't work in their favor. Having one scapegoat among Democrats does not give you carte blanche to do whatever the hell you want. Eventually it catches up, and you look like disgusting idiots.
Skeeving on young women - Anthony Weiner
Being unfathomably racist - Robert Byrd
Being habitually unfaithful - Bill Clinton
Never mind that despite a few examples on one side, there's dozens and sometimes hundreds of examples on the other side. And remember that the GOP are supposedly the party of 'Christian family values'.

This is the paper that effectively brought this stuff back up.

That Daily Mail article from 1992 includes Ghislaine claiming that Epstein told her he was involved in uncovering embezzlement... but I feel like it's more likely he's just connected to people more powerful than Acosta was at the time.
I'd recommend starting with Julie K. Brown's series Perversion of Justice about the Acosta deal to get a better idea of how much of a monster Epstein is, and the major players involved.
Honestly, it's almost all speculation at this point. Best you can get is the involvement of Alexander Acosta and a generalized sense of someone being above the law for unknown reasons. This article was linked earlier.

Guy who sold his integrity to save his career, perfect member of the Trump cabinet.
Thats alot of assumptions with little to no evidence
Trump has a history of not getting anyone in his Administration other than those who have nowhere else to go. Hell, his Vice President is that to the letter, a former Governor of Indiana who is political poison in his own home state now.
Listen I hate how white collar criminals get treated and how often they have guardian angels in public service softening what is already a light penalty for their malfeasance.
But going light on a serial pedophile vs a Bernie Madoff type is not even in the same ethical universe.
People who make deals like that to protect their careers aren't even people anymore, they are just tools of evil.
Come Overwatch with meeeee
Yeah that's like giving him the highest of the high amounts of benefit of the doubt. And giving Acosta no agency in a decision that was almost entirely on him to do.
And forgotten of course is how he absolutely harmed the actual victims the women that Epstein raped, and then sealed that information from them.

But for a prosecutor to hear it and be completely okay with that and not ask any follow-up questions is less acceptable
And if that's the case, I want him to tell us who waved him off last time...
Like I highly doubt there was anyone really willing to go to bat for a pedophile rapist, certainly not that could win that argument against a fucking US attorney.

It's less that there's some secret conspiracy, and more that a generational change is bringing in younger people not acclimated to snickering about sex trafficking pedophiles.
So, here's something to keep in mind - the deal was made in 2007. Why's this important? Well, it has to do with the fact that a US Attorney is an appointed position, meaning that as one, Acosta serves "at the pleasure of the President." Also, it is common for new Presidents, especially ones of a differing party from their predecessor, to "clean house" with their USAs and appoint new ones.
Long story short, USA Acosta is looking at a very real possibility that in 2-3 years time, he doesn't have a job. Furthermore, he's going to be reliant on the conservative network to get a cushy landing spot when he does get ejected. Acosta knows this, but more importantly, so does Epstein. Which is why Epstein sends two notorious conservative legal fixers - Ken Starr and Alan Dershowitz - to Acosta to make a deal. The message is clear - make this deal, and when you're forced out, there's a cushy legal position waiting for you.
This was always about Acosta protecting himself.
How do we know he thinks he fucked up.
Not a lowly ADA or something. A fucking US Attorney

And they really should go down that road, with both presidents
Wasn't this the Panama Papers and no one did anything?
The people who could have done something would be on said map.
Edit: In this case a lot of media.
No, Justice just moves slowly (especially for complicated paperwork) and journalism gets bored quickly.

This guy was in a position where he was supposed to honor the rights of crime victims and work towards some semblance of justice and public safety. This is the special and privileged duty of prosecutors. He was one of the top prosecutors in our country.
He took a shit on the victims and enabled a monster to keep victimizing. He betrayed everything his office stood for in order to maintain the status quo of rich white men staying in power, while young women and girls are trash to be disposed of by the oligarchy as they wish and without consequence.
Sympathy isn't in the dictionary of words I have for this fucker.
Wouldn't the only people, who could tell a USA Accosta to drop something, be one of the four Attorneys General who held that title in 2007, or POTUS (technically, but not appropriately)?
Or do USAs answer to the myriad deputy, assistant, assistant deputy AGs too?
No. They answer to the AG.
Acosta is a monster, and should be forced out and disbarred.
Yeah the 2007 case seems like Shaq-with-hair-still breaking the backboard slam dunk that he decided to flush.
Come Overwatch with meeeee
Wow I have not turned on someone as hard as I have on Nancy Pelosi....ever. Pelosi needs to resign as Speaker and leader of the House if she's not gonna fucking do her job.
