NEW YORK — A judge denied bail Thursday for jailed financier Jeffrey Epstein on sex trafficking charges after prosecutors argued the jet-setting defendant is a danger to the public and might flee the country.
The federal judge’s ruling means Epstein will remain behind bars while he fights charges that he exploited dozens of girls in New York and Florida in the early 2000s.

Jeffrey Epstein Documents Could Expose Powerful Politicians, Businessmen

The court noted that the public’s right to access the case information outweighed the privacy of certain individuals.
Corbis via Getty ImagesUpdate (11:15 a.m. EST, July 8, 2019): U.S. Prosecutors Charge Jeffrey Epstein With Sex Trafficking And Conspiracy (https://www.forbes.com/sites/lisettevoytko/2019/07/08/this-time-us-prosecutors-charge-jeffrey-epstein-with-sex-trafficking-and-conspiracy/#4188e4bd1d52)
Topline: A federal appeals court Wednesday ordered that 167 documents in a lawsuit that alleges famously well-connected financier Jeffrey Epstein participated in a sex-trafficking ring should be unsealed—and that many of his powerful friends could be named.
In its 27-page decision, the court cited (http://www.ca2.uscourts.gov/decisions/isysquery/c16e9479-8adc-450c-a488-4634eb945c53/1/doc/18-2868_16-3945_complete_opn.pdf#xml=http://www.ca2.uscourts.gov/decisions/isysquery/c16e9479-8adc-450c-a488-4634eb945c53/1/hilite/) the public’s right to access the case information outweighed the privacy of certain individuals, “including numerous prominent American politicians, powerful business executives, foreign presidents, a well‐known Prime Minister, and other world leaders.”
Virginia Guiffre (now Roberts) filed the lawsuit against Ghislane Maxwell, alleging that she had used her as part of a sex-trafficking network of underage girls to Epstein and a number of his famous friends, including his lawyer Alan Dershowitz and Prince Andrew. Both men denied the accusations.
Dershowitz has supported unsealing the documents, according to the Daily Beast (https://www.thedailybeast.com/jeffrey-epstein-court-orders-release-of-sealed-docs-about-alleged-sex-ring?ref=scroll).
The documents will not be immediately available, as anonymous individuals involved in the case have two weeks (https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/ny-epstein-record-unsealed-20190703-xqdis2pnzzgrdgk4w724zrvaxa-story.html) to file appeals.
The court advised the documents be read carefully. “We therefore urge the media to exercise restraint in covering potentially defamatory allegations, and we caution the public to read such accounts with discernment,” wrote the court in its decision.
Key background: Epstein had previously been charged in 2007 in a 53-page indictment. As the Miami Herald revealed (https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/article220097825.html) in its investigative series “Perversion of Justice,” Epstein managed to escape all federal charges through a plea deal that gave him and all of his alleged coconspirators immunity, with all documents being sealed. Epstein ended up pleading guilty to one state prostitution charge in Florida. He then registered as a sex offender and paid unspecified restitution to three dozen victims identified by the FBI.
The contentious plea deal was orchestrated by U.S. attorney Alexander Acosta, now President Trump’s secretary of labor. The Miami Herald’s reporting prompted calls for Acosta to resign, but he has remained in his Cabinet post.

Iran war tensions cooling down
Neocons won't be avoiding any new major wars out of goodness of their hearts or for concern for humanity ; they are basically fully discredited now and will get rebuke from everywhere pretty much. It was almost a miracle that they are even getting a seat at any table courtesy of team MAGA/neocon Adelson's funding to a confused directionsless GOP following Bush-Obama.
But now if this is genuine shift in foreign policy, could be the beginning of the end of influence of Deep Zionism on GOP-MAGA wing. Maybe that's bit too optimistic. But recent take down of child rapist and zionism causes funder billioniare Epstein, resignataion of MAGA Labor Sec Acosta and vanishing of Dershowitz on Fauxnews probably will further demoralize Israel-Firster lobbies/pepertual neocons. Part of credit for this goes to Patriot wing of Deep State, without their efforts Deep Zionism won't have had these setbacks.
