for Legal Eagles in search of a screenplay.
This is really a door into the judicial system of pedophilia. unprecedented, unbelievable; legally, the whole thing is nanners. Epstein was open and shut. Collusion between Epstein's Dream Team and the State Atty's Office is open and shut. This is one of the burnt and useless scales on the dragon. the article is from May 22,'16 but it shows some real hardball.
The Shameful Way Feds Protected Convicted Pedophile Billionaire Jeffrey Epstein
http://stateofthenation2012.com/?p=61529
"Epstein is not only a convicted pedophile, he is also at the heart of an extremely volatile case with an opposing attorney because of the extraordinary light conviction and sentencing leniency that he received. The court disposition in his case was simply unprecedented in U.S. history."
Also, Dershowitz (Harvard) made sure everyone associated with the case had immunity from future prosecution, and that the paperwork of the trial would be sequested for decades. Question: What would they have found had the prosecution conducted a full-blown investigation of Epstein? ....
"However, maybe more importantly, the case brings to light questions about what else would have been discovered if federal prosecutors had forgone the non-prosecution agreement and continued their investigation into the billionaire’s alleged illicit activity. Would anyone else have been implicated? What more could investigators have found?"
Answer: Their own pictures and phone numbers?

I have a legal background and I wish people could understand that when outsiders ask what part of Pizzagate is actionable, this is the part that is actionable. We have identified victims, we have perpetrators, we have laws broken in how a case was settled, we have a statute of limitations that hasn't run, and we have things we can ask our congresspeople to do specifically.
First on my list? Ask Trey Gowdy, who so sits on the House Judiciary Committee which oversees the US Attorney General's Office, to review how US Attorneys like Acosta and Villafana can offer a non-prosecution agreement (aka plea bargain) to unidentified co-conspirators. If you were a lawyer, you would know this is a violation of Due Process and unenforceable because the defense lawyers on the case essentially can't represent people they don't know and don't have contact with. Then, we need Gowdy to ask who can still be prosecuted (not a stretch because international child trafficking has no statute of limitations under federal law). High on the list for prosecution are Ghislaine Maxwell and Jean Luc Brunel, both of which are identified in civil trials that followed as people that participated in the Epstein international sex trafficking ring. We also need to ask what charges weren't covered in the Epstein plea bargain and also that the US government throw its weight - through at least amicus briefs, but hopefully more - behind Virginia Roberts' civil case to have the Epstein plea bargain overturned for violations of the CVRA, as Stockman identified in the article. That way Epstein can really be prosecuted (to the extent double jeopardy doesn't apply).
On our end, we need to investigate all the people Alfredo Rodriguez identified in Epstein's Little Black Book. We don't have to investigate the whole book of people - though we can - just the ones he identified as people who would have information material to Epstein's operation by circling them. Here is the full list: http://pizzagate.wiki/Jeffrey_Epstein#Additional_Material_Witnesses_or_Participants

If you find someone to prosecute on the non-prosecutable list and it leads to people on the list they'd have to open up the file as their proof of defense no?

If I'm understanding the question, the unidentified co-conspirator part of the plea agreement is unenforceable. Thus, the US government could prosecute Ghislaine Maxwell, Jean Luc Brunel, or anyone else not identified in the plea agreement - including all people on the list (except Sarah Kellen). The reason I say to focus on Ghislaine Maxwell and Jean Luc Brunel though, is there is the most evidence to bring charges against them. And all of the Epstein physical evidence collected would be on the table.

Right unenforceable but if you were to charge someone on the mystery list they'd have to open up the file to prove you can't charge them right? Then you could go after them for crimes made after the agreement.
JrSlimss ago
Right and I think you should be able to go after them crimes regardless of when they were made. It's like when prosecutors give a plea deal to a "small fish" to catch a "bigger fish." In this case, Epstein may be one of the biggest fish, but we can still go after all his associates because they aren't covered in the same deal. And yes, his case file would have to be reexamined, not to litigate him, but because it is evidence in other cases.

I understand, that's interesting, thanks for clarifying
