Florida prosecutors knew the late millionaire and financier Jeffrey Epstein sexually assaulted teenage girls two years before they cut a plea deal that has long been criticized as too lenient and a missed opportunity to imprison him a decade earlier, according to transcripts released Monday. The 2006 grand jury investigation was the first of many by law enforcement over the past two decades into Epstein’s rape and sex trafficking of teenagers — and how his ties to the rich and the powerful seem to have allowed him to avoid prison or a serious jail term for over a decade.

I'll never believe he killed himself. I think he's on an island somewhere having a great time. He had too much money and too much info on lots of important people.

Epstein was likely working for the intelligence agencies to acquire blackmail for their use. Our government wrote him a pass, because he was working for them!

I've noticed a trend with Bill Barr. Didn't have his DOJ investigate one complaint of fraud, etc with the 2020 election but still declared it fraud free. Did investigate the death of Epstein and declared it a suicide. hmmmm

I am convinced that Epstein was a CIA operative who was running a honey pot scheme that sucked in people at the highest levels of government and global business. Did he partake himself? Of course, he did, but he knew he could because had everyone by the short hairs...until the end, when he was no longer needed. The amazing thing is that Maxwell is not pushing up daisies. Not sure what kind of deal they cut with her, but rest assured, they did.

There is one thing that lives on in our Justice System. Blame the victim. FTA “A fraction of the evidence was presented, in a misleading way, and the Office portrayed the victims as criminals,” Why did our justice system protect Epstein? Lets ask BJ Clinton and his wife. Lets ask Rob Reiner. Lets ask Hanx. Lets ask all celebrities present on Lolita Island to testify at a tribunal - lets identify the real criminals.

Re #2. He didn't kill himself, but he is dead. He had WAY, WAY too much dirt on way too many rich folks and when that started falling apart, a LOT of rich and powerful people were very interested in permanently shutting him up.

#15 - I'm not so sure. I'm with #2 on this one. That night I was on the internet and came across some interesting videos. The first was of an ambulance leaving the gate of the prison and you could see the patient inside was Epstein. It was a bit blurry as the videographer was, of course, some distance away and zooming in, but the ambulance had to stop briefly at the gate. By pausing that frame, it was very easy to identify Epstein as the patient in the vehicle. The second video was the ambulance attendants wheeling Epstein into the entrance at the hospital. Those videos have since disappeared. Go figure.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and its integration within various sectors is moving at a speed that couldn’t have been imagined just a few years ago. As a result, the United States now stands on the brink of a new era of cybersecurity challenges. With AI technologies becoming increasingly sophisticated, the potential for their exploitation by malicious actors grows exponentially. Because of this evolving threat, government agencies like the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), alongside private sector entities, must urgently work to harden America’s defenses to account for any soft spots that may be exploited. Failure to do so could have dire consequences on a

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — A shootout that killed four law enforcement officers and wounded four others in North Carolina began as officers approached a home to serve a warrant for a felon wanted for possessing a firearm, police said. Some of the officers who rushed to the Charlotte neighborhood Monday afternoon to rescue the first wave of downed officers were wounded as a second shooter began firing on them after they killed the wanted man, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Johnny Jennings said. It was the deadliest day for U.S. law enforcement in one incident since five officers were killed by a sniper during a protest in Dallas in 2016.

On Monday morning, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a 6-3 decision of Trump v. United States that the office of the United States presidency has immunity from criminal prosecution. Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote the dissent, which Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson also signed onto. It's a dissent that has plenty of people talking over social media, with a common theme of the reaction being "bats**t" to describe her ranting and raving. "With fear for our democracy, I dissent," she wrote in what sounds like a line the Biden reelection will almost certainly take advantage of. She also began her dissent in part by writing

The Biden family are apparently questioning whether several top campaign aides should be fired after last week’s disastrous debate debacle — as some allies accused President Biden’s preparation team of “political malpractice.” Talk of axing the staffers unfolded in private as President Biden and his family hunkered down at Camp David over the weekend to discuss options amid mounting calls for the 81-year-old to give up his re-election campaign, sources told CNN. During the discussions, some members of the first family trashed the senior aides and called for them to be put on the chopping block —

Trump faces charges in Washington, D.C., brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith relating to his conduct on January 6, 2021, when rioters stormed the Capitol. He argued that he is immune from prosecution for his official acts.As Breitbart News reported, the Court found that presidents have absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts, but not from unofficial acts, and remanded the case back to the trial court to determine the difference.

The only three Republican women in the South Carolina Senate took on their party and stopped a total abortion ban from passing in their state last year. In return, they lost their jobs. Voters removed Sens. Sandy Senn, Penry Gustafson and Katrina Shealy from office during sparsely turned out primaries in June, and by doing so completely vacated the Republican wing of the five-member “Sister Senators,” a female contingent that included two Democrats and was joined in their opposition to the abortion ban. (snip) Instead of a total ban on abortion, South Carolina ended up with a ban once cardiac activity is detected, typically six weeks into a pregnancy.
