There’s so much that’s been swept under the rug, it’s 100 feet high off the floor.

A plea agreement is a contract between the parties. It is not binding on non-parties.
Epsteins operation was a honey trap blessed and protected by the feds. It was a blackmail project for deep state directed weaponization when needed.
To continue:applea agreement in criminal proceeding cannot aa solve a party from civil liability. Point in case, O.J. Simpson, acquitted in criminal court, was declared liable for wrongful death in civil court.
The judge is either someone’s lackey or incompetent. The women need to appeal.
“said the federal Crime Victims’ Rights Act did not entitle the women to damages from the United States.”
No kidding.
These are vulture lawyers.
I wonder what the Democrats have on this judge or a family member.
These legal moves may perrmanently cap the issues.
“A plea agreement is a contract between the parties. It is not binding on non-parties.”
I heard plea agreements weren’t binding on estates either, but I am not sure of that as plea agreements can be exercised repeatedly in cases of divorce. Maybe it’s a different matter of family law vs criminal law.
The socialists (dems) didn't object to his appointment.
'President George W. Bush nominated Marra to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida on January 23, 2002, to a new seat created by 114 Stat. 2762. Marra was confirmed by the Senate by a vote of 82-0 on September 9, 2002. He received commission on September 13, 2002."
Fix=in.
And those of us who have been watching for decades, and who saw that up front, were often vilified.
Fool me one hundred times - as with Charlie Brown - shame on me.
