After being shrouded in secrecy for nearly two decades, a 2007 draft memo laying out the evidence gathered against Jeffrey Epstein -- and the argument to move forward with a 60-count indictment against him -- has come to light, as part of the document trove released by Justice Department on Friday.

The Florida prosecutor who drafted that memo would send it to top brass at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Miami, including then-U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta, seeking approval for the proposed extensive charges against the wealthy financier, as well as others whose identities are redacted who may have facilitated his crimes.

"Epstein is considered an extremely high flight risk and, from information we have received, a continued danger to the community based upon his continued enticement of underage girls," the memo said. "For these reasons, we would like to present a sealed indictment to the Grand Jury on May 15, 2007."
Latest release of Epstein files includes some survivors' names, despite DOJ assurances, lawyers say

That proposed indictment and memo were never pursued in court. It would gather dust in draft form, as Acosta instead negotiated a controversial plea deal with Epstein even as his prosecutors and the FBI were still investigating the case and identifying new victims in other jurisdictions.

1. Is deal-cutting then-U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta ever going to be questioned?

AS to WHY he dealt this all away in 2007?
About WHO was involved?
About WHO he was in contact with at the time?

2. Yeah, and he's glaringly (imho) missing from the witness list for upcoming House hearings

Instead it's just a who's who of Trump/magaworld's "Deep State" enemies (Clintons, Comey, Holder, Lynch, Mueller, Barr, Sessions, Alberto Gonzalez). The GQP House is going try to make it look like the DoJ was corrupt and "protecting Pedos" (which of course doesn't include Trump in their telling). The fact that Acosta won't be part of them trying to manifest that storyline is suspicious to me. He might be someone who'd get up there and answer "yes" to the question of "were you investigating Donald Trump for his Epstein ties" back then, and tell the world why, and they don't want that. Plus, of course, Trump hired Acosta in Trump v1.0.

10. Dirty Don's willing to pull out all the stop on this one. Figure it's pictures and

film and Giselle and her new puppy in her new lodging at Light Duty Prison may have a hold on them.
At least that's what some speculators think.

4. " They are ALL in bed together "

7. I wonder

if little boys were involved too????? You never know, Elite men have many "skeletons" in their closets.

5. Trump rewarded Acosta for protecting him . . .

. . . by naming Acosta as the Secty of Labor in the first Trump administration.

[Evolve Dammit]

6. Acosta has some splainin' to do under oath IMHO, sadly 20 years later. What did he gain by this in 2007?

8. An egregious miscarriage of justice. A coverup.

11. 2007. Like Sandusky, Nasser, et. al.

Officials knew over a decade before and did nothing. Condemning fresh victims to hell and denying prior victims of any Justice, let alone healing. Pure evil. This is no different. Congress must act in unison.
