I knew about the Dershowitz-Epstein connection, but I didn't know that Starr had something to do with it too. And he's not even ashamed of it! I'm glad Trump can't get a better class of people to be on his side, but it's just shocking that the POTUS has to sink so low.
Epstein died in prison last year after being indicted on charges of sex trafficking. Although he died before being convicted of the alleged crimes leading to the most recent charges, the prominent businessman had previously in 2008 managed to get a plea deal from prosecutors in Florida for related charges, which Dershowitz and Starr helped him secure. Starr has since defended the lenient prosecution his former client Epstein received in Florida.

(13,776 posts)And then protecting a child rapist and keeping him in the community. He didn't have to do that. Was his motivation just money? Or what?
And then, for the nasty icing on top of the disgusting cake, defending a president whose abuse of power violated the Constitution and, not just that, led to Ukrainian deaths... deaths of real people. How can he even look at his nasty smushy face in the mirror?

(20,586 posts)the manner in which Starr speaks reeks of a prissy holier than thou type of person. In reality he dove into the sexual aspects of the Clinton case and then helped out Epstein. He did not seem to care about the sexual assaults at Baylor.
This guy has to have some skeletons in his closet - there is something just not right with him.

(4,251 posts)was an Epstein "client" and his attorney. How about Bondi? Did she play apart of Epstein's cushy sentence when she was GA in Florida? or did she "just" accept a donation (bribe) from Trump to "handle" his fraudulent university? I know she was friendly to the scientologists in exchange for their donations.

Epstein must have felt pretty damn cocky having influential friends in such high places. But it all caught up to him didnt it?
It aint over till its over. And its over for him. Lets see how Starr ends his days.
