'He sputtered!' Legal expert floored as Epstein prosecutor fumbles under intense grilling
(www.rawstory.com)
"Crockett, for example, who really wanted to drill down on, I'm sorry, what exactly were the credibility problems with these women? Why did you not find them credible? Why did you think you couldn't rehabilitate them in front of a jury?
He sort of sputtered, and he also insisted at one point during the transcript that it wasn't a sweetheart deal after all. And his reasoning for saying that is because on his recommendation, the original non-prosecution agreement would have had Jeffrey Epstein do two years in jail, which he said was the sentence Jeffrey Epstein would have received had the state not been so crooked," Rubin said.
That ignores that a prosecutor under his supervision had written an 80-page memo saying that they could easily bring 50 to 60 counts against Epstein rather than a single state charge.
In some ways, what's even more infuriating to me, is not just the fact that Epstein got immunity, or that four co-conspirators got immunity, immunity was also granted to any potential co-conspirators!
Wtf?! So essentially, immunity for any of these rich fucks that sexually abused people, but hadn't been caught yet as of 2008. And now, almost 20 years later, we're learning that his trafficking ring was just kind of an open secret among the world's elite. Like a members only pool you could just dip your toes into anytime if you got curious.
One that could target and snatch an innocent kid from the working class because she caught the wrong person's eye. And somehow since she and all the other victims weren't from the elite class, their lives were seen as less than. Using them as objects, destroying their lives while profiting from the trauma they put them through, only to discard them like trash when they were done and slander their reputations when they tried to keep it from happening to others.
Since we're already ignoring the rule of law to helicopter federal agents down to apartments in Chicago and break into people's homes, and arresting every American citizen that commits a minor infraction in Memphis, why won't Trump send a crime task force to take some of these too big to fail co-conspirators off the streets? If they got away with something like that for 20 years, why the fuck would anyone believe they aren't still doing it?
