Holy Cow. Jeffrey Epstein has been arrested in New York for trafficking minors for sex. thedailybeast.com/jeffrey-epstei…
No reporting I can find outside the Daily Beast so far, but they say they have multiple law enforcement sources, so the dam should break soon.
(Alan Dershowitz, meanwhile, posted a long twitter rant just yesterday about how HE is innocent of the sexual assault allegations brought against him in the context of his long friendship with Epstein.)
And remember, as @banditelli notes: A prosecutor who committed misconduct to torpedo Epstein's last prosecution is currently Trump's labor secretary. cnbc.com/2019/02/21/lab…
New York Times is confirming. nyti.ms/2L7IIko?smid=n…
Wow. Lots more details in the Miami Herald. miamiherald.com/news/state/flo…
“Epstein, 66, is expected to be arraigned in federal court in New York on Monday on charges that he molested dozens of underage girls in New York and in Florida, the sources said.”
“Sources said he was arrested Saturday night by the FBI, pursuant to a sealed indictment that will be unsealed on Monday. He is in custody in New York and a bail hearing is set for Monday.”

Here we go.
I can’t believe she won. Rematch as soon as she gets back with her shake.
We went one and one on the night, which vexes me. I can usually take her, though her sister consistently cleans my clock.

In order, the answers are: Don't be Kamala Harris. Or Beto O'Rourke. Or Elizabeth Warren. Or Bernie Sanders. Or Gillibrand or Buttigieg. Or O’Rourke or Warren or Harris again. Or Bill De Blasio. Or Warren or Harris several more times. Or Booker, Castro, Yang, or Klobuchar.
"I am a reasonable person and I regard Donald Trump as a threat to the Republic, but embracing the radical extremism of three-term Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar is a bridge too far."
(If you're wondering why Charen considers Klobuchar a hopeless extremist, it's because the senator, while declining to endorse the Green New Deal, has expressed support for its "aspirations." I wish I were joking.)

It's not a huge step from "I tweeted death threats at a corporate mascot account, never contemplating that I was tweeting at an actual person" to "I tweeted death threats at some person's account, never contemplating that I was tweeting at an actual person."
If you're tweeting violent, abusive crap at strangers, you're making the internet, and the world, a shittier place. And the internet, and the world, are shitty enough already.
This is why I block abusive people so quickly, and why I block rather than muting. I don't want to interact with abusive people, I don't want them finding people to abuse through me, and I don't want them setting a standard for interactions in my mentions.

All the best people, remember?

Secretary of Labor, Alexander Acosta, then a federal prosecutor in Miami, illegally kept details of Epstein's plea deal from victims, aged 13 to 16.
Epstein’s been sex trafficking minors for decades.

Federal appeals court in NY moves to unseal documents in #JeffreyEpstein case that could reveal evidence of an international sex trafficking operation hrld.us/2TCLS3L
"Acosta not only knew about the breach, records show he subsequently defended it."

9 months before cutting a covert plea deal with #Epstein, Alex #Acosta was notified that the lead prosecutor had concealed information in another underage sex crimes case miamiherald.com/news/politics-…
"US District Court Judge Zloch copied #Acosta on his order, noting, “The court is at a total loss as to why the Office of the US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida found it appropriate to intentionally withhold ... information from the court.’’

We need your help amplifying this and finding more information on #Epstein's net of conspirators. You can start by searching inside his personal address book the infamous 'little black book'; see any familiar names? Post them in the #OpDeathEaters hashtag. scribd.com/doc/257106594/…

Manhattan DA sided with pedophile #Epstein after botching investigation nyp.st/2SiMQgY
The Manhattan DA’s office once went to bat for billionaire pervert Jeffrey Epstein, after botching a review of his sex crimes and swallowing his lawyers’ claim that “there are no real victims here,” records obtained by the Post show.
Assistant DA Jennifer Gaffney, then-deputy chief of #CyrusVanceJr.’s sex-crimes unit, in January 2011 asked a Manhattan judge to downgrade #Epstein’s status in the New York sex-offender registry from the most-dangerous Level 3 to Level 1.

The judge was stunned.

Last month, the FBI released heavily redacted memos on the Epstein probe, and one offered a hint as to the reason for his lenient treatment:

“Epstein has also provided information to the FBI as agreed upon.”  thedailybeast.com/how-did-trump-…
It’s unclear what dirt he might have given the feds. Epstein was once a limited partner at Bear Stearns and abruptly quit in 1981. Around the time of his plea deal, the investment bank’s role in the subprime mortgage crisis could have been of great interest to the feds
Trump was among the child molestor's admirers. “I’ve known Jeff for 15yrs. 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. No doubt about it—Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”
