Jeffrey Epstein was an informant for Mueller’s FBI – Was that the basis of the sweetheart deal?

Before we demand that Labor Secretary Alex Acosta to be fired and thrown under the bus for giving Epstein a “sweetheart deal,” it might be worth taking the time to review the history of what the FBI was up to with Epstein. Mueller was head of the FBI at the time.

Alexander Acosta

We may never know what for sure the FBI wanted out of him, but we do know he was an informant. Interesting that I read that Ken Starr was involved in the plea deal. Let’s hear from Acosta what the goods were and the deal.

UPDATE: Acosta Resigns.

Ward writes:

He’d cut the non-prosecution deal with one of Epstein’s attorneys because he had “been told” to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade. “I was told Epstein ‘belonged to intelligence’ and to leave it alone,” he told his interviewers in the Trump transition, who evidently thought that was a sufficient answer and went ahead and hired Acosta. (The Labor Department had no comment when asked about this.)

Wait, what?

Back to the post:

First, going to my old stash:

Was Lolita Express Jeffrey Epstein an informant for Mueller’s FBI?

From the 5/24/18 FBI Vault release: “Epstein has also provided information to the FBI as agree upon.” Is that why he escaped serious charges for molesting over twenty girls?

Ed: At the time of the post, all pages of the FBI files were in black ink and mostly blank. It now lists 28 parts, but at the time of my posting there were only 8 listed below.

Perhaps Attorney General Barr could release these? Oh right, Barr has recused himself, pulling another Jeff Sessions. This of course leaves the SD of New York on its own. Surprise! Comey’s daughter will be one of the Prosecutors -Anyone want to bet her speciality will be to dig up any dirt on Trump?

Attorney General William Barr may have oversight over U.S. attorneys in New York, but he has announced that he is recusing himself from the Jeffrey Epstein case. (Believe his reason/excuse at our own peril.)

UPDATE: Earlier reports suggested that he would be recusing himself. But he’s only recusing himself from review of the 2008 plea because that involved Kirkland Ellis lawyers. (Which means we will never know how the FBI was involved, crimes and Acosta will be left out to dry. Better than nothing I guess.)

Via NY Post

After consulting Justice Department ethics officials, Attorney General William Barr will not recuse himself from overseeing the sex-trafficking case of billionaire Jeffrey Epstein in New York, according to reports.

This is what is called a FBI “heavily redacted” file on Epstein.

Here is one theory of why he got the sweetheart deal:

Jeffrey Epstein Became a Government Informant as Part of Sweetheart Plea Deal so reads the Daily Beast back in November of 2018

In exchange for a sweetheart plea deal that buried dozens of allegations by underage girls of sexual abuse at his Palm Beach, Florida, mansion, disgraced hedge-fund manager Jeffrey Epstein provided federal investigators with “unspecified information,” according to records cited in a Tuesday (2018) report from the Miami Herald

…”But as part of that deal, according to records cited by the Herald, Epstein provided “valuable consideration”—in other words, critical information—to federal investigators. There’s no direct evidence of what that information was, but records show that at around the same time, Epstein was considered to be a crucial witness during the trial of two Bear Stearns executives who faced allegations of corporate securities fraud during the 2008 financial crisis.”

As part of my 2018 post I included:

Lolita Express: Clinton’s Secret Service agent threatens damaging info on former president: Former Agent Dan Bongino is a Fox regular.

So Dan…time to spill.

Other than that, all is well in the swamp.

Kavanaugh – The cost of taking on the Clintons

 

Kavanaugh claimed that the Clintons were included behind the orchestrated attacks upon him. An unwise move? Now Hillary comes out with the “I am a victim of the vast Right Wing conspiracy” trope. Her remarks made at the Atlantic Festival. The memo written by Kavanaugh in 1998 should prove my point that the Clintons have a long memory.

Why would that be? Kavanaugh spared no mercy for Bill during the Starr impeachment investigation. Especially because he went after Bill and his sexual proclivities. It was no doubt unwise to raise the Clinton name. Awakening the beast from the underworld. But they were no doubt already about the business of aiding and abetting the destruction of one Brett Kavanaugh.

 

 

The Clintons don’t forget. Ever. And how just like the Clintons to help orchestrate a character smear against Judge Kavanaugh for things that never happened because Mr. Kavanaugh was in 1998 adamant that then-President Clinton answer for things that actually did take place.

 

Mentioning the Clinton name gave Hillary the opening once again, its just that vast right wing conspiracy raising it’s ugly head. Apparently if one has a different political view it’s simply a conspiracy. Rare indeed.

The Clinton’s are users.

Yet there’s another dimension to their chronic crookedness, and it gets insufficient attention even though it might be more important to the nation’s well-being.

“Wherever they go, whatever they do, ethics are trashed and suspicions of criminal conduct follow them like night follows day.”

It is that, in addition to being personally corrupt, the Clintons are corrupters. They are piggish users, with the people and institutions around them inevitably tarnished and sometimes destroyed even as the Clintons escape to their next scam. NY Post

 

Hillary in this clip extends her views regarding the vast Right Wing conspiracies. A real laugh-a-rama.

Paging SCOTUS Kavanaugh – Vince Foster is calling

 

No need for me to be Debbie Downer today. Look, Hillary could be naming the candidate. There are true conservatives that I trust who think this is a fine choice.

UPDATE: I’ll give you the Judge’s opinion:

Napolitano ‘Disappointed’ at Kavanaugh Nomination, He’s ‘Heart and Soul of the DC Establishment’

 

 

So we shall see. As for myself having spent the last couple of weeks reading and listening to hundreds of pages and testimony of the primary sourced “review” of the death of Vincent Foster, I find Kavanaugh’s treatment of Foster unforgivable so all of the positive comments about him fall on my deaf ears.

Do I think he will get confirmed? Maybe, and I have no intention of piling on after this post. He is our man. He was a young guy as part of the Starr team that headed up the “review.”

He was clearly determined to make his way to the Supremes since day one. How many clerk at three circuits? The Ninth Circuit may give him trouble – a sexual harassment case against the man he was clerking for resulting in a fast recusal. It will be claimed he knew about it and did nothing.

So I leave you with an earlier post if this peeks your interest. If you want primary documents this link gets you off to a good start: Source FBI Coverup

No longer any purpose of going point by point trying to persuade you to consider the possibility that Vince Foster was murdered. That I find no excuse for Kavanaugh as head of the investigation review under Starr- yes that Ken Starr of Clinton fame, didn’t raise a finger to correct an injustice but rather subverted all attempts at including dissenting opinions from the final report. That it was court that ordered that these dissenting opinions/facts be included in the final report. The first time ever.

It’s all out there for anyone to read thanks to FOIA– I can only conclude as well as others, that the investigation had a pre determined outcome before the case was ever reviewed by Kavanaugh. After all, it was the same FBI agents who did the original investigation who did the review. The lead investigator Rodriguez was not permitted to subpoena any witnesses. He stated he resigned because the conclusion had already been reached prior to the investigation. Sound familiar?

I ask you to take a couple of minutes to look at this one video below. Look at it. Think about it. I for one am done with it.  Earlier post with a couple of links.

This is the only time in history that

an Independent Counsel was ordered by the court to include

evidence of a cover-up by his own investigators in his own Report

After the lawsuit ended, documents were discovered in the National Archives that were written by Rodriguez, including a 31-page memorandum to his fellow prosecutors in the OIC dated December 9-29, 1994 on the subject of “November 29, 1994 Meeting Concerning Foster Death Matter And Supplemental Investigation Prior to Grand Jury.”  The memorandum explains why the evidence does not support a conclusion of suicide in the park and states in its first paragraph that Kavanaugh was at the meeting.

 

At the 2004 confirmation hearing for Kavanaugh, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) stated: “Mr. Kavanaugh served in the Office of Independent Counsel under Judge Starr, where he conducted the office’s investigation into the death of former Deputy White House Counsel Vincent W. Foster, Jr.”  A 1998 New York Times article also states that Kavanaugh “led the investigation into the death of the deputy White House counsel Vincent W. Foster Jr.”

 

Foremost a friend of Karl Rove. Brett Kavanaugh a true Manchurian candidate who played his cards right through the various circuits to this.

A protégé of Kenneth Starr, Kavanaugh played a lead role in drafting the Starr report, which urged the impeachment of President Bill Clinton.[1] Kavanaugh also led the investigation into the suicide of Clinton aide Vincent Foster. (Yes, he was young but was willing to play the game, forget the morality of it and take the hit for the swamp.)

After the 2000 U.S. Presidential election, in which Kavanaugh worked for the George W. Bush campaign in the Florida recount, Kavanaugh joined Bush’s staff,

Kavanaugh clerked for Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, as well as Judge Alex Kozinski of the Ninth Circuit and Judge Walter Stapleton of the Third Circuit. Prior to his Supreme Court clerkship, Kavanaugh earned a one-year fellowship in the Office of the Solicitor General of the United States, Kenneth Starr, during which he worked on the Whitewater investigation.

After George W. Bush became president in 2001, Kavanaugh served for two years as Senior Associate Counsel and Associate Counsel to the President. In that capacity, he worked on the numerous constitutional, legal, and ethical issues handled by that office. Starting in 2003, he served as Assistant to the President and Staff Secretary. In that capacity, he was responsible for coordinating all documents to and from the president.

Kavanaugh was the fourth judge nominated to the D.C. Circuit by Bush and confirmed by the United States Senate.
