The facts about the Epstein Conspiracy...

Last edited Sat Jul 26, 2025, 06:54 PM - Edit history (1)

Fact 1. Potential co-conspirators were given immunity in a 2007 plea deal by then US Attorney Alexander Acosta:

An Actual Conspiracy Kept Jeffrey Epstein’s Accomplices out of Prison
With four little words, the government granted immunity to Epstein’s co-conspirators. Why?

"The United States also agrees that it will not institute any criminal charges against any potential co-conspirators of Epstein, including but not limited to Sarah Kellen, Adriana Ross, Lesley Groff, or Nadia Marcinkova."

The four women named had allegedly helped recruit underage girls for Epstein at his direction. But that four-word phrase “but not limited to” gave a free pass to anybody who would have helped Epstein acquire or traffic underage girls for sex.

Fact 2. Alexander Acosta resigned as Trump's Labor Secretary due to his role in the Epstein plea deal:

Acosta to Resign as Labor Secretary Over Jeffrey Epstein Plea Deal

President Trump’s embattled labor secretary, R. Alexander Acosta, announced his resignation on Friday amid continuing questions about his handling of a sex crimes case involving the financier Jeffrey Epstein when Mr. Acosta was a federal prosecutor in Florida.
...
“I personally think the resignation has to do more with the fact that every day in the news the president’s name was coming up in conjunction with Epstein,” Mr. Leopold said. “This is going to be a campaign issue. It was going to come back to the president at some point in time if Acosta stayed, because every day there was more fuel to the fire.”


Fact 3. Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyers are currently seeking relief from the Supreme Court because

her conviction was invalid because a non-prosecution and plea agreement that federal prosecutors had made with Epstein in Florida in 2007 also shielded his associates and should have barred her criminal prosecution in New York.
