MSNBC: Bail denied for Epstein

[Miles Archer]

"Judge didn't waste any time."

[Bettie]

1. OMG...that is such a good thing

I was bracing to hear that he was going to be sent home to await trial.

[gratuitous]

2. Dammit!

When is a rich white guy ever going to catch a break in this country? How is Jeffrey supposed to aid in his defense? Or talk to his attorneys? Or jet off to some country without an extradition treaty? To the streets!

4. He can always count on Trump's personal lawyer.

The former USAG recused and unrecused William Barr.

8. When fake passports are outlawed, only outlaws will have fake passports

It was noted on MSNBC yesterday that if the judge granted bail and Epstein disappeared, they'd wear that decision around their neck for the rest of their life.

Also, reporting today says that the judge DID consider the testimony of Epstein's victims.

Justice prevails.

[Hugin]

3. Good.

As said by the late Grumpy Cat.

[maveric]

5. Off to Rikers.

[ADX]

14. He's facing Federal charges...

...so he'll remain in custody at Metropolitan Correctional Center which is a Federal Bureau of Prisons facility rather than Rikers, which is operated by the New York City Department of Correction...

6. Twittler isn't going to like this

"DAMN LIBRUL ACTIVIST JUDGE!!!"

[mahatmakanejeeves]

7. He would have been out of here in no time. NT

[Baltimike]

9. YAAAAAAS!!!!! nt

[panader0]

10. Flip Jeff, flip.

You really want to spend the rest of your life in prison? Spill on trump.
You may only get twenty years.

[malaise]

11. Please please please

Pretty please

[Miles Archer]

13. He has nothing to lose

While anything is possible, I'm questioning the optics of Trump pardoning a convicted pedophile (should it come to that).

I hope the "boogie down" footage of Trump and Epstein finds its way into at least a few 2020 campaign ads. Add that, add the "send her back" video, as well as the "open-mouth kiss video" as well.

12. Definitely a flight risk.

Young girls in other countries are a little bit safer now.
