There's some information running around the internet discussing how Attorney General Barr's father hired a young Jeffrey Epstein in 1973, as a calculus and physics teacher at the Dalton School before he even had a degree!
That seems like a pretty sweetheart deal.
Nearly as sweetheart as the Florida Attorney General (President Trump's Department of Transportation Appointee) gave Mr. Epstein when he got off from charges of sex trafficking and sexual assault on a child with a mere 13 months sentence where he was allowed to go to work every day.
Pretty sweetheart.
Most of the news coverage and articles about Mr. Epstein's history comes from friends and associates. People who attended Epstein's parties and were flown to his US Virgin Islands island hideaways, spoke freely and often about the 'kind' of fun he liked to have. It was not discussed in literal terms often, it was called enjoying the company of girls who were "on the younger side" (quote from President Donald J. Trump).
The New York State Southern District prosecutors listed information in the courts since 2006, denied specifically by President Trump in 2016, and reinvigorated yesterday with Epstein's arrest.
The sweetheart deal does not apply in New York State according to the US Attorney for the Southern District, Geoffrey Berman who presented the unsealed case in a press conference this morning.
The question now seems to be if Epstein will try and expose any of his many friends who participated in sexual activities with him or his young friends. The affidavit lists girls under the age of 14! One civil case in particular cites the presence and participation of Donald Trump in the tying up and repeated raping of a 13 year old girl, who alleges that Epstein fought with trump over who would do the deflowering. Anyone who was affected by this man is being urged call 1-800-CALL-FBI and tell them you have information on "an important case".
50 years ago, public exposure of this kind of information would spell 'game over' for anyone even peripherally involved.
These are strange times indeed.
