Ehh... while it would appear to US that Epstein is the weak link and the easy target it most definately isn’t. Especially seeing as all unknown codefenfants hav already been pardoned as per the plea arrangement. That’s some serious strings to pull so my best bet is the shadow government was deeply implicated and gave him such a cushy deal in order to get that in. Which means Clinton and trump are already exonerated on that front so no point going after them..
As for mueller, he brought down the Teflon don so I wouldn’t underestimate him. Intricate investigations like that take a very long time and are more a game of chess than anything. Cohen just got three years in prison and his verdict prove trump committed felonies, that no one is pursuing that at this time must be for some significant reason imo. The only significant reason I can imagine is BIGGER FISH TO FRY. Like how the DEA will let low level offenses or dealers go to get the higher ups, or a parole agent will ignore a couple positive tox screens to rack up enough to guarantee your put away - it’s lulling someone to a false sense of security.
I don’t know if anything will come of it but if anything is ever going to come of it I think they picked the right guy. Do you have any idea how hard it was to nail gotti?
First paragraph..... I get what you are saying, but that is why I included this quote:
"Scarola, who joined the case this week, said Epstein will likely argue that it would be unfair to invalidate the deal since he complied with all of its terms.
“But,’’ Scarola said, “this was a deal he knew was illegal at the outset. The fact that you chose to rely on it doesn’t afford you any protections, especially since the aspect of the contract that was illegal you expressly argued for.’’
I agree w/what you are saying, thats the usual. These types of "powerful people get powerful breaks" situations aint new..... but if public pressure mounts, they WILL have to walk back this WHOLLY ILLEGAL FROM THE JUMP deal or else heads will roll. Not just politically, but you know if they dont start telling on each other to save themselves, they are likely to start offing each other.
Second paragraph - Mueller is a clown, if he was a real threat, he wouldn't be there. I have said all along that due to the fact the FBI isn't going after Trump wheres hes most vulnerable (other Russian and international situations & Epstein at the forefront) because the Clintons are in even deeper than he is.... that there will be no significant justice from these investigations. But they keep up this charade, throwing red meat to their pack the same way Trump does.... just placate the masses with rhetoric, but not results. In the end, Trump will likely "resign for the best of the country.... I did nothing wrong, but I will step down for the best of America so the witch hunts can stop".... He is unlikely to face any real repercussions for his actions and we the people will pay the price for it. Besides, that bigger fish thing is a joke..... low level crack dealers are STILL being sentenced to extended, hard time for minute amounts while major coke distributes (especially if the are the right color) have an entirely different standard applied to them. Its like the Trickle Down Economics theory in reverse.... neither is effective or even real.
Second/Third paragraph - Gotti was brought down because he turned on his own men. If it wasn't for that, even the tapes & etc. were not going to be enough.
I do want to say, perhaps it seems I have a negative outlook or am negative towards your perspective..... but I really respect your info and even if it seems like I am hardheaded on here, I value what you post and learn from it.
