I wonder what prompted this.

Gonna go out on a limb here and say it was letting a child-raping scumbag off the hook.

Based on what has transpired, it appears there was quite a bit more to this than the obvious.
I may be wrong, but he appeared to just be following orders from above. he was likely given a nice going away present, something really, really hard to refuse.

If he was just stupid and guilty, I doubt he would have made the statement he did in the first place.

But the reason Americans left it where it was is because we've always known there's a justice system for the elite, and for the pleebs. We were disappointed but it was what it was.

The crimes were also minimized... "solicitation" and not "rape" or even "statutory rape." And the "underage women" and not "young girls" or even "adolescents."

There is still the same effort to minimize -- perhaps even sanitize -- Epstein's acts.

As would anyone who cares about the victims. Not just dems.

7 days ago 90% of America didnt know who epstein or acosta were.

Epstein was common knowledge around here as exactly what he is for quite a while now. The Lolita express info has been around ATS since Bill Clinton was saving up for his first big cigar.

And before the partisan douchebagery begins, anyone guilty gets the hose. Anyone.

I'm hoping he's the first of many. 'I was just following orders' is not gonna cut it with me.

More credible when clinton is indicted, since acosta was powerful too. Noone is exempt.

Didn't our resident Tinker, Taylor, Soldier, Spy Rickinvirginia go over the flight manifests and determine that Clinton never went to the Caribbean with Epstein?
Perhaps I read that wrong.

I agree completely. The victims are what matter.
Still we also should not convict people based on on internet information since there is so much that is inaccurate.
If the evidence is there ( they took a lot of stuff from his home) than everyone and I include Bill Clinton in that should be castrated then blinded then burned at the stake then drowned. Only after that do we consider any pleas.

It's been a whole hour now since Acosta announced his resignation !!!

So far, it's a "victimless" resignation 😎

St. Thomas was one of the Clinton's favorite vacation places...20 minute boat ride to Pedo Island.

EXCLUSIVE: Bill Clinton Caught in Another Big Epstein Lie – Their Early Flights Were Not for Clinton Foundation

Bill Clinton could not have flown with Epstein to perform work for the Clinton Foundation in 2002 because the Foundation was not authorized for foreign work at that time and the former President was not an officer, trustee or employee of the Foundation at that time.

The application for federal tax exemption for the main foundation showed that it originated on 23 October 1997 (see here).

Jeffrey Epstein supposedly "lent" his plane for an air junket through Africa for @BillClinton and others to perform work for @ClintonFdn in Sep 2002--at that time the 'charity" was not authorized for foreign work, and Bill was not an officer, trustee or employee--check 990s!

Punishment has yet to fit the crime.

You and I are in full agreement here.

The implications of a private citizen getting away with such egregious acts are horrifying. Humoring the possibility (starting to look probable) that power wielding politicians were engaged in such activities brings me to a point I have no words.

If there is irrefutable evidence, I don't mind if justice bends the rules just as these asshats did. Make an example of them so long as it is not used as a tool for politics. Let it be equal across the board. Those who knew of it but did not engage are just as bad IMO, they enabled it to happen and are therefor just as guilty.

You're remembering correctly.

As I commented on that thread, though, the records are reportedly not complete. The source I've been using for the flight logs has a disclaimer of sorts quoting a RadarOnline article that states the two sets of flight logs available are contradictory, and incomplete. One set came from a pilot, the other from Dershowitz. Both have good reason to be less than completely honest.

So I don't know what the whole truth is about those flight logs.

Here's the links. Maybe you can make more sense of it all:
