The Justice Department on Friday asked a federal judge overseeing the case of deceased sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein to deny a request from NBC News to unseal the names of two associates who received large payments from him in 2018, court documents show. The Justice Department cited privacy concerns expressed by the two individuals as the reason for not making their names public.

The first associate received a payment of $100,000 from Epstein and the second associate received a payment of $250,000, both in 2018, days after the Miami Herald began publishing a series of investigative stories where victims criticized a plea deal he received in Florida in 2008.

As part of the plea agreement, Epstein secured a statement from federal prosecutors in Florida that the two individuals would not be prosecuted.

The payments became public after Epstein was indicted and arrested in New York in 2019 and asked to be released on bail. Federal prosecutors in New York filed a memorandum on July 16, 2019, that argued Epstein should remain in jail to prevent him from tampering with witnesses.

[C_U_L8R]

1. Do their names rhyme with Trump and Dershowitz?

[spooky3]

2. Or maybe Schmalex Schmacosta? Nt

[BoRaGard]

38. Schmalex (r - Keeper of Occult Repube Filth)

[Justice matters.]

15. mmm more like Ondee and Costah?

Rumors don't have to be true... many people say...

[blm]

26. I suspect Acosta, Dershowitz, and Bradley Edwards were all in on protecting Trump.

[Wiz Imp]

32. These payments were from Epstein. They had nothing to do with protecting Trump.

[blm]

46. I know. I'm feeling free to voice my overall suspicions.

We’ll see who received the payments……eventually. You don’t have to overreact, do you?

[lapfog_1]

3. "If you don't want to see your names in the Miami Herald..."

please send me X amount via wire transfer for my "legal fees" ( or prosecutor payoffs, lawyers to intimidate victims, goons for same, etc ).

Your pal and fellow Pedophile... Jeffery.

[intheflow]

4. Yes, by all means, we MUST protect the privacy of

rich white people who got extremely large payments from a convicted pedophile. I mean, they asked nicely, right? Just common courtesy.



My bets are Trump and one of the SCOTUS.

[ReRe]

16. SCOTUS?

Well then, probably Clarence Thomas.

[bluestarone]

23. Gosh, i wonder how his CHRISTIAN wife would

Handle that? I feel there is more than a 50/50 chance he's on that list.

[Wiz Imp]

33. I'd take that bet. I can all but guarantee you are wrong on both counts.

As part of the plea agreement, Epstein secured a statement from federal prosecutors in Florida that the two individuals would not be prosecuted.

Why the hell would Epstein want to keep Trump from being Prosecuted? You're barking up the wrong tree.

[moniss]

36. Epstein didn't want the 2 prosecuted because of what

all they might spill about him when their lawyers worked out a deal for them to be cooperating witnesses. It wouldn't matter if it was Crumb the 1st or who it was. Crumb The 1st, along with Maxwell might well be the 2 people who knew the most about what he was up to.

So you send them a nice payment as a gift for "future consideration" if need be. The payment would have the side benefit to Epstein of tying the 2 people to him in a way compromising their credibility if they should decide to rat on him later.

[Wiz Imp]

43. 🙄

[travelingthrulife]

44. Well, discovery would be pretty bad, no? They were friends and probably

business partners in his Lolita Express business.

This was far too much money involved in this for Trump not to have his dirty hands all over it.

[KS Toronado]

5. "Justice Department cited privacy concerns expressed by the two individuals"

So 2 people begged the DOJ to keep their names a secret, doesn't work that way for anyone
named Biden.

[OldBaldy1701E]

12. 'Privacy concerns'???

Are they kidding around?

I can tell you this... if this actually works and those rich assholes get to remain anonymous, then my belief that there is no actual justice (except occasionally by accident, which is no way to run a nation) in this country is all but proven.

[electric_blue68]

13. "Privacy concerns"? Ooohhh, Boo, Hoo, hoooo! Too Bad!

[womanofthehills]

17. The payments might have been made to two women victims

If they were made to victims no one would want their names released.

[electric_blue68]

18. Well, THAT would be Certainly True!...

Unless they came forward; leave them be!

[Raven123]

27. Did I read incorrectly? The 2 payments involve the same people who were not prosecuted?

Are you suggesting the associates were the conduit for payments to victims?

[PSPS]

29. Not possible according to the OP

As part of the plea agreement, Epstein secured a statement from federal prosecutors in Florida that the two individuals would not be prosecuted.

So the recipients were going to be prosecuted until trump toady acosta created the infamous "sweetheart deal" for epstein.

[Karasu]

6. In other words, they're Republicans. We know how this fucking DOJ works.

[Ponietz]

7. Beginning to wonder whether Epstein worked for Israel

[Iggo]

19. Beginning to wonder if Epstein and his customers fuck children.

Oh that’s right! They absolutely do!

[Captain Zero]

21. I think he worked for Russia too.

And for some South Africans.

[Wiz Imp]

34. You're just now beginning to wonder that?

It's been pretty well proven a long time ago that he was.

[sinkingfeeling]

8. I think we should change the name of the Department of Justice to

Donnie's Hit Squad.

[70sEraVet]

24. Or, Department of Privilege

[BoRaGard]

39. G.O.P. #DeptOfPrivilege - started to go viral, but...

republicon Kancel Kulture censors killed it.

They labeled it "wrong think."

Why does that sound so familiar and ominous?

[Botany]

25. So the largest international child sex trafficking crime syndicate* in history paid 350,000 $s to 2 people...

… but the important issue is the privacy of the people who got either the bribes or the hush money.


*. Aka Epstein’s organization. You know the organization that used Trump’s plane to move
the girls around, Trump’s beauty pageants, and Trump’s “modeling try outs.”

[LudwigPastorius]

31. Department of Cover Trump's Ass

[LilElf70]

9. As part of the plea agreement, Epstein secured........

a statement from federal prosecutors in Florida that the two individuals would not be prosecuted?

The names should be announced. Of course, Donny will get off again. It just makes sense. All the shit this guy has pulled and gotten by with so far? Adding Pedo to his name is NBD to magats.


But MGT? She'll go ape shit once she finds out the con man is really a con man. Sure would be good entertainment though.

The shit show by the GOP changes daily. Just when you thought something is over, it's something else. I wonder what's next? Amazingly you can't make this shit up.

When I said buckle up months ago, I meant it. Good luck to us all.

[travelingthrulife]

45. MTG went for those stock market games Trump played with tariff manipulation.

She made a ton of money. I expect he holds this and other things she has done over her head to control her.

[eringer]

10. Wiring Money in These Amounts Leaves an Audit Trail

No worries here. The truth on this on will get out soon.

[electric_blue68]

14. Calling for a Forensic Auditor, now!

[Fiddlelady11]

11. It's all

Being revealed!

[twodogsbarking]

20. He likely wired big dollars to others. So we get all but two. As a former auditor this is laughable.

[aeromanKC]

22. C'mon peeps, DOX away!!

And say, Anonymous where are you!!??

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

28. Fuck you guys

Stop protecting pedophiles.

[Brainfodder]

30. Perhaps DOJ is just some guys initials?

[Wiz Imp]

35. At least one of them is a woman.

Prosecutors added that “the same records show that just three days later, on or about December 3, 2018, the defendant wired $250,000 from the same trust account to [REDACTED], who was also named as a potential co-conspirator — and for whom Epstein also obtained protection in — the NPA.”

The prosecutors continued: “This individual is also one of the employees identified in the Indictment, which alleges that she and two other identified employees facilitated the defendant’s trafficking of minors by, among other things, contacting victims and scheduling their sexual encounters with the defendant at his residences in Manhattan and Palm Beach, Florida.”

These 4 women were known co-conspirators who were not prosecuted:

-Sarah Kellen worked as Epstein’s massage scheduler & allegedly kept a Rolodex of young girls to recruit for Epstein
-Lesley Groff coordinated travel for young girls, often calling to schedule ‘massages.’”
-Nadia Marcinko “According to written testimony by several alleged victims, Marcinkova is described as having ‘encouraged and engaged in sexual acts’ with young girls while Epstein watched.”
-Adriana Ross allegedly helped organize Epstein’s predatory sessions

37. G.O.P. occultists hiding the ugly truth about themselves

[DallasNE]

40. These Payments Are Most Likely Similar to the Payments Stormy Daniels Received

The terms and conditions are hidden in the non-disclosure agreements signed by these parties. In these cases, they probably involve witness tampering and other sleszy costs of doing business payments and what most people would call dirty money.

[3825-87867]

41. So a decree from a prosecutor in inviolable...

but 6 asswipes in robes can rewrite the constitution however and whenever they wish?
BY the way, I heard trump thinks he can reverse Biden's pardons?
So...name names!

[travelingthrulife]

42. Nope. ALL the players need to be known.

[republianmushroom]

47. Why redate the names ?

They won't be prosecuted but may face some embarrassment.
More DOJ of Florida unreliable witnesses ?
