Accused child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein wired a total of $350,000 to a pair of possible co-conspirators just days after the publication of a newspaper story alleging he sexually abused dozens of underage girls, federal prosecutors said Friday. The prosecutors said the payments, which were made last November after the bombshell Miami Herald story came out, demonstrate Epstein's willingness to tamper with witnesses. "This course of action, and in particular its timing, suggests the defendant was attempting to further influence co-conspirators who might provide information against him in light of the recently re-emerging allegations," the prosecutors wrote in court papers arguing that Epstein should remain behind bars until his trial.

A slimeball's slimeball. Let's hope that he and his buddies all get what is coming to them, before going to Hell.

I guess Epstein knows that the Clintons can be bought....if the price is right.

Now this guy deserves solitary confinement, unlike Mr. Manafort.

Wow. Recruited at 14, raped at 15. Where was mommy and daddy? Obviously nowhere and didn't care what their daughter was up to.

FTA: "Epstein is facing up to 45 years in prison on allegations that he sexually abused dozens of underage girls..."
Only 45 years? How about life in prison with no chance of parole.

They should be called ''co-molesters!'' We'll see who the media try's to cover for. They will probably names a few guilty people, who they are ready to throw under the bus, but I will be very surprised if they happen to ''find out'' about a woman, or two, who were involved.

This Epstein matter has the power to expose people who have done things from which any normal, sane person would recoil. If the truth is told the actions of the movers and shakers involved in this will be biggest scandal in the history of the world. The super rich and politically connected have the possibility of being exposed for their deviancy. However, the people involved will do anything to prevent this and they have the means, power, and determination to keep what has been secret, secret. I don’t know how this is going to end, but you can take it to the bank that many rich and powerful people are sweating bullets. Whatever you believe has gone on, it is worse than you could ever imagine. God help us. The tentacles of a possible thorough investigation reaches as high as it goes. Will our government have the stomach and courage to look into this abyss?

Those who choose to step forward to testify in Epstein's trial must be placed into protective custody immediately before Arkancide takes care of business. Recalling the Denver Players Denver Sugar scandal in my home state of the People's Republic of Colorado, this matter was to expose the highest names in Colorado who participated in the pay for play sex scheme. And the Denver msm who exposed it was forced to bury the story for good. Debra Sherman a well-respected journalist in Denver was fired by Channel 9 News for refusing to bury the story and was life-threatened.

This type of behavior is exactly how the last days of Rome played out. Coincidentally we also have barbarians at our gates.

Only 350K? That's chump change for Epstein, and some people can obviously be easily bought. Most likely, this is just the tip of the iceberg.

I wonder how much longer before Epstein becomes a victim of Arkancide, or stroke, or heart failure?

As a Christian, I do wish for justice for all the underage victims of Epstein, his British Madam, and all the various participants. However, if somehow they do escape earthly justice, there is no escaping the heavenly Justice from One who watches and knows all. God promises that none shall escape His wrath, and I believe Him.

#5 That's what I would like to know. Where were the parents of these girls? I think they should be questioned for possible child abuse or child endangerment. Maybe some of them were fine with it as long as they got some of the money.
