It’s true. They are hell on mortgage fraud which coincidentally seems to be something of a Democratic crime spree. (There are evidently no Republicans who have homes in their districts and homes in DC. I guess they all live in their offices.) They do keep having problems finding prosecutors who are willing to argue the cases because they are so obviously ridiculous and clearly vindictive prosecutions against Trump’s enemies but they can always dredge up a beauty queen insurance lawyer or two to sign the indictments so it’s perfectly fine.
You won’t find them prosecuting anyone for staging a coup or storming the capital during a joint session of Congress to try to kill the Vice President though, no sirree. That would be lawfare. And any of Trump’s pals should feel free to commit as many crimes as they want because there will be no prosecutions and, at worst, they’d be pardoned anyway.
How about this fatuous garbage?
Not 4 months ago the DOJ released a report saying this:
As part of our commitment to transparency, the Department of Justice and the Federal
Bureau of Investigation have conducted an exhaustive review of investigative holdings relating to Jeffrey Epstein. To ensure that the review was thorough, the FBI conducted digital searches of its databases, hard drives, and network drives as well as physical searches of squad areas, locked cabinets, desks, closets, and other areas where responsive material may have been stored. These uncovered a significant amount of material, including more than 300 gigabytes of data and physical evidence.
The files relating to Epstein include a large volume of images of Epstein, images and videos
of victims who are either minors or appear to be minors, and over ten thousand downloaded videos and images of illegal child sex abuse material and other pornography. Teams of agents, analysts, attorneys, and privacy and civil liberties experts combed through the digital and documentary evidence with the aim of providing as much information as possible to the public while simultaneously protecting victims. Much of the material is subject to court-ordered sealing. Only fraction of this material would have been aired publicly had Epstein gone to trial, as the seal served only to protect victims and did not expose any additional third-parties to allegations of illegal wrongdoing. Through this review, we found no basis to revisit the disclosure of those materials and will not permit the release of child pornography.
This systematic review revealed no incriminating “client list.”There was also no credible evidence found that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals as part of his actions. We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.
Blanche was a prosecutor in the SDNY for many years and apparently highly respected. I just don’t know what to do with that.
