Will thanks Lawrence
new details about the feds
decision not to pursue charges
against Jeffrey Epstein back in
two thousand and sixteen
sixteen
when a number of Lawrence warned
he might be abusing girls,
he had pled guilty to
prostitution charges in Florida.
They contacted the FBI to ask if
justice had not been served,
they didnt get a response.
Our next guest, accusing them of
turning a blind eye
crime nations host Nancy Grace
joins me now.
What happened in twenty sixteen with
Epstein and these prosecutors
now keep in mind that in
two thousand and seven, as you said, there was a
secret deal where Epstein
basically got a slap on the
wrist for raping little girls,
theres, really no good way to
put it
fast forward.
Two thousand and sixteen victims, lawyers go to the
southern district of New York.
U Dot S attorneys office. They
meet with them with evidence, including a nude photo taken,
including a nude photo taken,
allegedly by give Ghislaine, Maxw
and gifted
what was is framed
long story short. They presented
that and other evidence to the:
U Dot: S Attorneys office, southern
district of New York, lower
Manhattan and begged for an
investigation, and they turned a
blind eye and dont try to just
blame it on the assistant: U Dot S
attorney
Amanda Kramer,
because a case like this would
have gone all the way to the
top.
They did nothing
and it was only when the Miami
Herald busted Epstein, that they
were shamed into prosecuting.
They gave him three years to
continue to molest little girls
will three more years free to
continue to do what he was
doing.
I had to follow up on a phrase
you used there. This would have
gone all the way to the top.
The Jeffrey Epstein story is
always about connections to
power centers. Who else is
connected? Why was this case
passed upon in twenty? Sixteen
tell me more Nancy.
What does that mean? Go to the
top?
I can tell you this much.
Will it seems more malignant
than turning a blind eye
doesnt it
youre not kidding.
Another thing that the southern
district would have you believe
is that they called the FBI down
in Florida, but they didnt get a
return phone call.
How many times did I have to get
in my car and go out to a
witness and bam on the door
until somebody came or I would
wait until they got home.
You dont wait for a return
phone call.
You do the right thing
now. Apparently this went up to
her boss, Dan Stein, and they
say the appointed. U dot. S attorney
for the southern district. Didnt
know anything about it.
He was later fired by Trump Unshare money, justly
unshare money justly
he went Unshare money uncrer.
Somehow he never heard of the
case.
Jeffrey Epstein, with all the connections forced to be
connections, forced to be
molested, which the
will theres too many
coincidences too many passes to
power.
Can I tell you one more
thing?
As a prosecutor, I was almost
always. I would almost always
handle cases on my own.
When I had a sensitive or
difficult case, I would go to my
boss, the elected district
attorney, and talk to him about
it.
Nothing was done without his
knowledge
and there was no way in H, e l, L,
the higher ups didnt know what
was happening
will thats the story right
there.
You know what else is the story:
