Ken Starr was one of Jeffrey Epstein's Lawyers

this guy sure has a record of defending actual sexual abusers and other perverts.

<In 2007, Starr joined the legal team of Palm Beach billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, who was criminally accused of the statutory rape of numerous underage high school students.[45] Epstein would later plea bargain to plead guilty to several charges of soliciting prostitutes and serve 13 months in a private wing of the Palm Beach jail.[46] >

Money, sex (rape), corruption, famous powerful men. And if it's all litigated in court...? Watergate was the equivalent of stealing office supplies, compared with this.

I've read about men on the left who may be involved as well. Going after them is five hundred percent fine with me, if true. Sh*t is brown, not blue or red.

And it's an international story, too. Even if it's quashed here (which I doubt is possible), it's global.

Finally the victims will get justice. And justice will prevail. Maybe other girls' cases will be taken seriously now, too.

Does not matter in this case. If you are guilty of raping young girls you should be exposed.

The rumored scandal in Old Man’ bush’s Administration concerned young boys.

So just a matter of time before Epstein's talking to escape prison for life. They'll also have air tight cases against many others involved, and a lot more media attention from this, and trump will soon be tweeting, threatening, accusing , and tampering with witnesses, and obstructing justice again using barr to be his mole to find out what all they have on them all, and to do his dirty work for him. When he does start in , you know he's involved with this too.

13. And Dershowitz

The ruling came after the Herald — joined by a consortium of media companies, including the New York Times — asked that the records be opened. Two other parties, social media blogger Michael Cernovich and lawyer Alan Dershowitz, also sought to have some of the documents made public. Dershowitz, who represented Epstein during the 2006-2007 federal criminal probe, has also been accused of having sex with one of Epstein’s underage girls. Dershowitz has denied the allegation and has said that the records will clear him of any wrongdoing.
