This is looking very ugly. For a whole lot of extremely wealthy and well connected men. You can bet that Epstein has some interesting videos in his possession. SDNY raided his Manhattan home. Where will all of this fall?

Cohen knows a lot. For a minute there, I thought you were referring to Mike Pence. Would like to see him taken down too. But he's not wealthy enough to be a part of this mess.

I'd like to see Barr interfere with these efforts on the part of the SDNY in getting these perps thrown in jail...

the trump angle at all (Acosta giving Epstein a slap on the wrist and putting everything under seal). Is this another huge scandal going by the wayside?

they've suspected or known for a long time, but they gave the wealthy a wide berth or looked the other way. After the way Trump has been breaking the law/skirting the edge of legality/obstructing justice we are seeing quicker response to lawsuits, decisions coming down against Trump, etc.

It is almost as if the courts are pissed at Barr and Trump, about what happened to Comey and how Trump has dissed the FBI and other intelligence units. Payback Time!

Thank God for SDNY. Maybe this will be the time when the big rollers are finally caught with their pants down. Now, to go after the obscene wealth they have acquired and how many they screwed in the process. No pun intended.

Bear-Stearn's was mobbed up. Was a Casual Freind of a Bear Money Manager in the nineties while working BtoB Sales in Minny. There was a major FIFTing in Their Suburban Offices and this Freind said it had to do with a major screw up in NYC . When asked about what the deal was,only think he said was,Dirty Money Dirty People.

Trump will never get into the White Shoe Crowd but that same crowd knows how to use those whom think they belong. Watched the inner workings of a few Stock Brokerages through the years. Interesting to say the least. Tons of Shysters and down right crooks. As the same acquaintance would say,time to cultivate the my Rolodex. Meaning,going to front run my clients accounts.

Trump's obsession with going back in time to a period that most ressmbles the 1920s makes more sense now

And then Acosta got his reward.
But shit has a bad habit of stinking, and this is one heck of a stinky mess...world class, international stink that can't be flushed.

There is an investigative reporter from Florida, the name of Daniel Hopsicker with the site:

He has a lot of interesting stuff, including quite a bit on Trump.
Definitely worth your time to read.
