A FOIA of the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office work-release and visitor logs for Jeffrey Epstein turned up some troubling inconsistencies
Jeffrey Epsteins lenient 2008 conviction for his sexual assaults on adolescent girls may be described as one of the greatest travesties of justice in recent history. Brad Edwards, an attorney for many of Epsteins victims, announced last week that Epstein continued to prey on young women while serving his sentence in Palm Beach. Unlike other sex offenders in Florida, Epstein had his own wing of the Palm Beach County jail and liberal work release policies. Due to this new information, the Miami Herald reported, the Palm Beach County Sheriffs Office (PBSO) has suddenly opened an internal affairs investigation of Epsteins incarceration.
As part of my research on the Epstein case, I sent a FOIA request earlier this summer to the PBSO concerning Jeffrey Epstein (inmate number W35755). I asked for two records: Work-Release List entries and the Visitor Information Log. Six days later, I received an email requesting that I phone to clarify my request. I thought this was strange because Work-Release List and Visitor Information Log are the exact names of documents that I already knew the PBSO maintained.

There's plenty of blame and culpability to go around.

(58,785 posts)systematically implanting their agents into our government, including courts, for over 40 years now. This is a genuine conspiracy against the people.
Of course their RW agents by nature are corrupt and usually, like Kavanaugh, really nasty customers all around, no surprise that these malignant implants use their power in a lot of ways harmful to society, not just to transfer wealth and power to the few.
We also know that Russia, which for decades has been exporting corruption as a weapon to weaken and destroy other nations, has been assisting this conspiracy, both cooperatively and on its own.
And here we are. This is an era of expanding awareness and support for all human rights, including our own as citizens and creators of wealth, when we should have advanced greatly from the bad old days of old-fashioned corruption. Yet institutionalization corruption has become far worse because of this occult conspiracy.
But it's not occult any more, of course, and we have a job to do.
"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." Nancy Pelosi (!) quoting a great liberal from the last time this giant problem threatened to destroy our nation.

(73,537 posts)I've been looking into an interesting part of this case regarding who Epstein was being paid by, including talking to an old friend who always provides me with good information and leads. This is even uglier than it appears on the surface. I'm making an outline in my mind that will become my next essay on this forum.

(73,537 posts)in post #12. The republican interests -- and that includes some corporate entities -- are trying to make it appear that "everyone" hung out with Epstein, including some Democrats. I'm focusing not only on "how" this was allowed to happen, but "why." And that falls snuggly into the republican's lap.

H2O Man
(73,537 posts)There is an important key to this, that has been discussed a little in the media, but not in the depth it requires. In part, it has to do with AG Barr's father hiring the unqualified Epstein at the private school. But that actually opens the door to Elder Barr's past history of employment ....both before and after his stint with OSS. Why, for example, did the governmnt tap him?

(13,582 posts)went back to the jail to sleep like he was supposed to? I was hoping someone would analyze the paperwork to see if anything stunk. I really thought there was no way he didn't have pet jailers that would just sign him in while he was back at his mansion with his girls.

(90,335 posts)Texting was a level 3 sex offender the worst kind of sex offender and the Palm Beach sheriff's office was providing security for him so he can go on work releases
This is beyond disgusting I'm sure they knew about this before this Epstein kerfuffle started recently

(73,537 posts)if Acosta would have taken it upon himself to make such a terrible and controversial decision on his own. It would seem obvious that the fellow who was Attorney General at that time had to sign off on it. And, for that matter, that the AG would check with the fellow above him.
