IMOO, Bondi has been and remains incompetent at anything except being a toady.

She’s been at this since 2011 of not before
Well rewarded for her lack of action with her new job in a more corrupt regime

The Florida way

IMOO, Bondi has been and remains incompetent at anything except being a toady.

She was the only theatrical, hysterical one there.

 

[Inthedetails]

She was the only theatrical, hysterical one there.

It was her deliberate, prepared choice to come on aggressively regarding exposing victims' names after promising to protect those names (among other offsensives).

That's quite a choice.

Oh, she had a binder of prepared insults for each Dem Congressmember, and spied on Pramilah Jayapal's search of the Epstein files.

Outrageous

Oh, she had a binder of prepared insults for each Dem Congressmember, and spied on Pramilah Jayapal's search of the Epstein files.

Like a slam book from teenage fiction stories. So discouraging to know people in power are so mean and petty.

Where is the honor of public service? That is a thing! Or, used to be.

For years, accusations against Maxwell and Epstein were obscured by legal maneuvers — most famously, a controversial nonprosecution agreement Epstein reached in 2007 with federal prosecutors in Florida.

That plea deal with then-U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta led to state charges against Epstein, but it also prevented him and any co-conspirators — including, allegedly, Maxwell — from being prosecuted in federal sex crimes in southern Florida.

In addition to its leniency, the deal was also criticized because it implied Epstein's victims were prostitutes: Although more than 30 teens filed police reports with Palm Beach Police alleging sexual crimes by Epstein, he pleaded guilty only to two felony prostitution charges at the state level, As part of Epstein's plea agreement, he was sentenced to only 18 months in jail-- but left every morning on work release, and was required to register as a sex offender

After reading Maxwell's 400+ page unsealed 2016 deposition, where she makes AG Bondi look like a kitten, I'm just sick knowing that this evil couple managed to be punished for crimes against only one victim --Virginia Roberts Giuffre, and the FBI and DOJ insist there will be no additional indictments.

A federal court just released the settlement deal between Epstein and Giuffre

The settlement between Jeffrey Epstein and Virginia Giuffre, one of his accusers, is emerging less than a week after his longtime partner Ghislaine Maxwell was found guilty of sex trafficking a minor.

The settlement deal between disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein and Virginia Giuffre, one of his main accusers, was publicly released Monday, after being kept secret for more than a decade.

The 2009 agreement was filed under seal in two court cases that pit Giuffre against the U.K.'s Prince Andrew and attorney Alan Dershowitz. Giuffre says Epstein arranged for her to have sex with the men on multiple occasions when she was a minor. At the time, her last name was Roberts.

[...]

In the agreement, Giuffre agreed to end her [civil] lawsuit, filed as Jane Doe No. 102 vs. Jeffrey Epstein, in exchange for Epstein agreeing to give Giuffre $500,000 "and other valuable consideration," an accommodation that was not explained in detail.

Some terms of the deal also apply to "second parties" and "other potential defendants," categories that could apply to many of Epstein's alleged co-conspirators. For instance, the agreement states that upon taking effect, it will "remise, release, acquit, satisfy, and forever discharge" anyone who could be a potential defendant from state or federal lawsuits filed by Giuffre.

The expansive terms of the agreement apply "from the beginning of the world to the day of this release."

Ghislaine Maxwell's answers to questions about the sex-trafficking operation she allegedly ran with the late Jeffrey Epstein were made public Thursday as a federal court released Maxwell's 2016 deposition. The transcript is more than 400 pages long, but it has been redacted to protect the privacy of some people it mentions.

The transcript is finally being unsealed after a back-and-forth legal battle between Maxwell and Virginia Giuffre, who has accused Maxwell, Epstein and others of sexually abusing her when she was a minor. In it, Maxwell repeatedly denies "recruiting" girls for Epstein or taking part in orgies and other activities.

[...]

The documents' release comes after months of anticipation — as well as doubts over whether the transcript would contain any bombshells. In addition to redactions that remove names and other details, federal prosecutors have filed two criminal counts against Maxwell for allegedly lying during the deposition.

Billionaire’s Alleged Sex Slave Settles Libel Case

A defamation lawsuit linked to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein ended Wednesday in an undisclosed settlement dismissing the case brought by a woman who says she was Epstein’s sex slave.

May 25, 2017

On Wednesday, a deal was reached between British heiress and socialite Ghislaine Maxwell and Virginia Giuffre, the alleged teenage sex slave who claimed she was defamed when Maxwell dismissed the validity of Giuffre’s claims of forced sexual service of wealthy and powerful men.

Giuffre says that she fled the country as a teenager to escape Palm Beach billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, an investment manager who spent a year and a half in prison after pleading guilty to a state charge of soliciting a 14-year-old prostitute in June 2008.

Giuffre claimed in court documents that Maxwell recruited her and more than 30 other victims into a sex-trafficking ring for “politically connected and financially powerful people.” Maxwell and Epstein are close friends and former romantic partners.

Giuffre sued Maxwell last September for allegedly telling the press that her claims have been “shown to be untrue” and are “obvious lies.” Maxwell’s attorney fired back, arguing her “plain vanilla” denials that she brought Epstein a teenage sex slave did not amount to libel.

Giuffre’s attorneys said in a statement Wednesday that they “are happy to have settled this matter without the need for a trial and are pleased with the result.”

The two-page joint stipulation for dismissal, filed in Manhattan federal court, included no details of the settlement.

The deal declared the complaint to be dismissed with prejudice, with each party to bear its own attorney’s fees and costs.

The stipulation was signed by Giuffre’s attorney, Bradley Edwards of Farmer Jaffe in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.

Giuffre’s libel suit was presided over by U.S. District Judge Robert W. Sweet.

Epstein pleaded guilty in June 2008 to state sex charges but avoided the potential of being prosecuted on more serious federal charges thanks to a deal negotiated partly by attorney Allen Dershowitz, who has also been accused of participating in underage sex arranged by Epstein.

[In November 2022, Virginia Giuffre dropped her lawsuit and sexual abuse allegations against attorney Alan Dershowitz, stating she "may have made a mistake" in identifying him as one of the men to whom Jeffrey Epstein trafficked her.]

Gold star for researching all this information. Maxwell better stay behind bars for 20 years, is my hope, maybe it will wipe the smug expression off her face.

QUESTION PRESENTED

This Court long has recognized that “when a plea rests in any significant degree on a promise or agreement of the prosecutor, so that it can be said to be part of the inducement or consideration, such promise must be fulfilled.” Santobello v. New York, 404U.S. 257 (1971).

And, of course, it is well settled that plea agreements and non-prosecution agreements are interpreted using ordinary principles of contract construction, requiring that the plain language of the agreement must govern interpretation and that ambiguities must be resolved against the Government. Nevertheless, Circuits are split on whether promises in a plea agreement in one district on behalf of the“United States” or the “Government” binds the Government in other districts.

The question presented here is: Under Santobello and common principles of contract interpretation, does a promise on behalf of the“United States” or the “Government” that is made by a United States Attorney in one district bind federal prosecutors in other districts?
