Efforts to influence witnesses?

At what point is a witness no longer a witness, but actually an accomplice? 🤔

Probably somewhere when they got paid to keep quiet...

It is because those two names are top people within the DOJ? 🤔

I'm pretty sure one of those names is DJT.

contacting victims and scheduling their sexual encounters with the defendant at his residences in Manhattan and Palm Beach, Florida.”

I mean, yes, that does sound a lot like that individual has DJT in their initials.

Who are these 2 associates? Is one the current president and the other running Tesla?

All that's known for certain is that they were both mentioned in a series of articles printed in the Miami Herald about Epstein's sweatheart plea deal.

No secrets! Release all the names!

Edward Snowden is a hero.

The rest of these parasites are scum that need to be purged. They're literally getting paid 6 figure salaries (our tax dollars) to protect child rapists.

Why the fuck does anything get to be redacted from these files?

prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 18 pts · 363d

Some of the victims/families of the victims might want their names/info redacted.

Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 363d

Because there are some Grand Old Pedophiles listed

That's such a low price for silence

sad_detective_man@leminal.space · 8 pts · 363d

that was my thought too. like damn, it only costs $100k-$250k to legally molest children in a country where people openly talk about murdering child touchers and tend to be granted amnesty for killing them.

perhaps someone should tell Donny, it might save his life

henfredemars@infosec.pub · 21 pts · 364d

Trump is King, so there is no place safe in this country for witnesses. Release the files!

They're republicans, eh?

Sam_Bass@lemmy.world · 20 pts · 363d

Of course they say that. They have fought constantly against any and all revelations related to Epstein. Their guilt in it is palpably apparent

D_C@sh.itjust.works · 20 pts · 363d

WE MUST PROTECT THE PAEDOS AT ALL COSTS!!

Feeling great yet?

CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world · 17 pts · 363d

Gosh, that's not suspicious at all.

Justice was just millimeters away, in a field in Pennsylvania

For some reason, I thought you were talking about a field in Pennsylvania 24 years ago. I'm with you now

The prosecutors continued: “This individual is also one of the employees identified in the Indictment, which alleges that she and two other identified employees facilitated the defendant’s trafficking of minors by, among other things, contacting victims and scheduling their sexual encounters with the defendant at his residences in Manhattan and Palm Beach, Florida.”

...contacting victims and scheduling their sexual encounters with the defendant at his residences in Manhattan and Palm Beach, Florida.”

Maralago is in Palm Beach. I am understanding this correctly, yes?

sundray@lemmus.org · 9 pts · 363d

Maralago is in Palm Beach

Yes, but Epstein had property there as well, which is the defendant they're referring to in this case.

Could these be payments to victims/pimps (he recruited his victims to find new victims for money, not that much either, a few hundred each for tricks and new recruits,) to keep quiet so his sweetheart deal with us attorney Acosta went through?
