More Epstein tidbits

The Daily Beast covers the struggles that the original prosecutors had with Epstein's high powered defence team.

For the first time, the U.S. attorney who oversaw the Epstein prosecution in Florida’s Southern District is commenting publicly on the case, in a letter released exclusively to The Daily Beast.

 A Daily Beast examination into the inner workings of the Epstein defense strategy reveals how the fear and intimidation experienced by victims during pre-trial proceedings, combined with a ferocious, protracted campaign to undermine the prosecution.... culminated in a set of charges that became a virtual slap on the wrist for the globe-trotting financier. 

...

Epstein had assembled a world-class legal team, including Alan Dershowitz, Kenneth Starr, and Roy Black (best known for having defended William Kennedy Smith against rape charges in Palm Beach.) 

...

“Defense counsel investigated individual prosecutors and their families,” seeking to unearth personal issues that might lead to disqualification of members of Acosta’s team. The defense also “often failed to negotiate in good faith. They would obtain concessions as part of a negotiation and agree to proceed, only to change their minds, and appeal the office’s position to Washington.”

There's a lot more in the article that is worth reading.

Interesting, isn't it, how many players in the Epstein circle are Jewish.

• His hedge fund's only financier, L. Wexner. 
• His legal team, including Dershowitz (who was a guest at pedo island). Ken Starr is not Jewish, as far as I can tell, but he is married to a Jewish woman.
• Barry Krischer, State Attorney who tried to get the entire matter dismissed.
• Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of Ukrainian Jew (and financial scammer) Robert Maxwell.
