Whoa.

Daily Beast: Jeffrey Epstein " arrested for allegedly sex trafficking dozens of minors in New York and Florida between 2002 and 2005"

thedailybeast.com/jeffrey-epstei…

This comes 2 weeks after the DOJ argued against the rescission of the Epstein Non-Prosecution Agreement in the victims' Florida case.

Full doc here: scribd.com/document/41601…

The charges discussed in the article seem to be the same charges - interstate trafficking of minors - addressed in Epstein's plea deal.

Why the charges now? It's obvious...

The media finally got around to condemning the FBI/DOJ for favoring Epstein. This led the DOJ to take action.

FBI/DOJ trying to save face.

Leaves the question of whether the plea deal stands in the way of prosecution...

Finally - considering the DOJ position against rescission in the Florida victims' case (made on 6/24/19)...

You have to wonder what the newly unsealed (not yet released) Epstein documents reveal.

For context: re-upping these sworn victim statements from the FL case.

1) Details Epstein/Maxwell efforts to bring young girls to Epstein's island. "Many appeared to be young teenagers."

2) Acts w/ Dershowitz and another woman

Full Doc: scribd.com/document/40661…

The full scope of Epstein's international sex trafficking ring.

And the efforts of the DOJ to protect Epstein (and itself):

DOJ Attorney Villafana e-mails Epstein's lawyers to discuss their:

1) their "avoid the press" strategy

2) how they can make up the "simple assault" crime (would have given him less than 6 months in jail)

The DOJ was really a co-conspirator in all this.

The DOJ lawyers changed the victim notification letters - letters to sexually abused young girls - at Epstein's request.

As we previously noted, the DOJ's leadership in DC - upper level leadership - approved the Epstein deal.

But the DOJ in DC didn't just approve the Epstein deal - they helped supervise the case.

Spring of 2008: Emails between FBI agents and the local ass't US attorneys reveal "continued delays" in getting the case to a grand jury "due to the failure to receive decision from DC"

How bad was the DOJ-approved plea deal?

9/27/2007: Epstein signs the non-prosecution agreement

10/31/2007: Internal emails show that FBI agents still had not interviewed all the victims.

Reports that the Epstein case is being handled by the SDNY Public Corruption Unit (PCU).

Notable that the PCU "oversees the investigation and prosecution of corruption crimes committed by elected and appointed officials, government employees..."

@DailyMailUK

@DailyMailUK just posted this photo.

Search warrant executed at Epstein's NYC home tonight.

Additional charges may be forthcoming.

Working theory: PCU looked into post-plea actions by Manhattan DAs office (Cyrus Vance).

They tried to give Epstein a sweetheart sex offender registry deal.

Any bribe scheme would vacate the plea.

We are live for the Kevin Clinesmith sentencing hearing.

Clinesmith is charged with altering an email - falsifying a document - in an effort to get the 4th Carter Page FISA warrant.

Judge Boasberg has entered the hearing.

Follow this thread for updates.

Judge starts by hearing from Carter Page:

The national media accused me of being "an agent of a foreign power"

I've been harassed in person.

"I know what it's like for your life to be destroyed"

Carter Page:

I first collaborated with the CIA while in the military. I never betrayed that trust.

My life "spun out of control" due to the false allegations.

I had "no privacy" - everything was monitored by the gov't

They physically searched my belongings and hotel room.

@Snowden

Edward Snowden exposed the worst 4th Amendment violations in US history: the unlawful collection of data on millions of Americans.

His fight was on behalf of the American people.

For that @Snowden deserves a pardon from @realDonaldTrump

Recall what Snowden helped expose:

1) The illegal collection of metadata of millions of Americans

2) NSA plans to "Collect it All" and "Exploit it All"

3) Economic espionage and the abuse of private data

@ggreenwald

Forget the clichés and talking points of pundits and gov't officials.

Instead, read the source documents hosted by @ggreenwald

They show the scope of domestic surveillance abuses and global US operations.

The DOJ has filed its Kevin Clinesmith sentencing memo

They want incarceration.

DOJ: Clinesmith wasn't just altering e-mails - he was lying about Carter Page in DMs to the FBI agent.

Thread.

@AWeissmann_

Why the Clinesmith lie was material:

"It would raise the issue of whether [Carter Page] had those interactions with the intent to assist the US gov't."

It would go to the "loyalties" of Carter Page.

Clinesmith knew FISC needed to be informed.

@AWeissmann_ disagrees 🤦‍♂️

@carterwpage

Clinesmith's lies "allowed the FBI to conduct surveillance" on @carterwpage thru a FISA application that "lacked probable cause"

He violated the duty of candor to the FISA court.

We have Ghislaine Maxwell's unsealed deposition.

Question: Did you invite minor Virginia Giuffre to Epstein's home?

Maxwell: "She came as a masseuse."

Thread.

Ghislaine Maxwell admits that Epstein's masseuse was a minor.

Maxwell: "Virginia Roberts (Giuffre) who you are referring to was a masseuse aged 17."

Was [redacted girl] 13 years old when you met her?

Maxwell: "I have no idea."

Maxwell evades the questions -

Question: Did the massage therapists "perform sexual acts for Jeffrey Epstein?"

Maxwell: "I don't know what you mean by sexual acts."

DOJ produces new Flynn evidence - 1/25/17 Notes FBI OGC lawyer notes.

Logan Act: "no reasonable prosecutor" would proceed.

Flynn call w/ Kislyak similar to "other transition teams"

"First time to use [Logan Act]"

Thread.

TOP FBI lawyer James Baker:

"How do you assess § 1001 (false statements) when you wouldn't prosecute the underlying crime?"

Big concession that this wasn't about the broader Crossfile Hurricane investigation.

Assessment of whether Flynn is in a "covert relationship w/ Russia":

"No, probably not based on facts to date and interview."

Will be necessary to compare this to the Flynn NSLs handled by Clinesmith. Possible predication issues. (See pic)

🚨Flynn update - Interview 302 from FBI Agent William Barnett

"BARNETT believed the prosecution of FLYNN by SCO (Team Mueller) was used as a means to 'get Trump'"

Thread.

Agent Barnett was assigned to Crossfire Razor (the Flynn counter-intel investigation).

Barnett was later assigned to the Special Counsel team.

Barnett: the predication for the Flynn investigation was "not great"

@RealSLokhova

Crossfire Hurricane source (likely Halper) accused Flynn of leaving a 2014 event with an undisclosed person.

Perhaps @RealSLokhova

FBI assessed this information to be not accurate
