This kicked off an intensive, one-year undercover investigation.<\/p>\n<p>The police sifted through Epstein\u2019s garbage and interviewed 17 witnesses, including the housemen, who told of sex toys and dildos left behind after the underage girls left. One of Epstein\u2019s procurers, a 20-year-old local woman named Haley Robson, who was paid $200 for every teenaged girl she brought to Jeffrey, was cooperating with police, telling them she was like \u201cHeidi Fleiss.\u201d They obtained statements from five of Epstein\u2019s young victims, who said they\u2019d been paid $200 to $300 to engage in various sex acts with him. Police raided Epstein\u2019s home, finding explicit photographs of teenaged girls, incriminating phone records \u2014 and one girl\u2019s high school transcript.<\/p>\n<div id=\"powr_1\" class=\"a8d padok\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"powr_embed\" src=\"https:\/\/player.powr.com\/iframe.html?account=100010177&amp;player=743&amp;domain=breitbart.com&amp;terms=pedophile%20trump%20ann%20coulter%20how%20democrat%20scandal%20jeffrey&amp;uri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.breitbart.com%2Fpolitics%2F2019%2F03%2F06%2Fann-coulter-media-magic-how-a-democrat-pedophile-became-a-trump-scandal%2F&amp;c=1551983669494\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>But when the police chief brought this mountain of evidence to Palm Beach County\u2019s Democratic prosecutor Barry Krischer, he punted, charging the Democrat child molester with only one count of soliciting prostitution \u2014 yes, the child victims were labeled \u201cprostitutes\u201d \u2014 and offered Epstein probation.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps Krischer was exhausted, having just spent\u00a0<em>three years<\/em>\u00a0hounding Rush Limbaugh for abusing back pain medication.<\/p>\n<p>Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter exploded in rage. (Meanwhile, Epstein claimed to be the victim of an anti-Semitic conspiracy on Palm Beach.) Chief Reiter wrote an open letter to Krischer asking the Democrat to remove himself from the case. Then he turned to the Bush administration to seek justice against a Democratic donor\/accused child rapist.<\/p>\n<p>As stories go, a child sex case involving a Palm Beach billionaire was pretty big. It was covered in the British press, in Florida media, at\u00a0<em>The New York Post<\/em>, and at Fox News. Bill O\u2019Reilly led with the story on his Fox News show.<\/p>\n<p>But CNN and MSNBC did not breathe a word about a Democratic prosecutor refusing to hold a Democratic child rapist accountable.<\/p>\n<p>Epstein had given more than $145,000 to Democratic candidates and causes, including Bill Clinton, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, and Chuck Schumer. He was a big Israel backer. Bill Clinton and Democratic activist Ron Burkle were frequent guests on Epstein\u2019s private plane, dubbed the \u201cLolita Express.\u201d And Krischer was a hero for his dogged pursuit of Rush Limbaugh! Why bring up all this unpleasantness?<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Chief Reiter, President Bush\u2019s U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Alex Acosta, did take the case, despite the fact that only Epstein\u2019s child rapes on his plane, on his private island, or with girls brought across state lines would make it a federal case.<\/p>\n<p>As a result of the (Republican-led) federal investigation, Epstein was finally required to plead guilty to two state felony charges, accept a sentence of two years in prison, register as a sex offender, and pay restitution to his victims.<\/p>\n<p>Still no coverage by MSNBC or CNN.<\/p>\n<p>Inasmuch as Epstein was pleading guilty to a state charge, the matter of his confinement was out of the U.S. attorney\u2019s hands. It was Democratic county prison officials \u2014 not the feds \u2014 who placed Epstein in a private wing of the county jail and allowed him to spend 12 hours a day, six days a week at his Palm Beach mansion throughout his 13-month \u201cimprisonment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 2014, the brilliant conservative lawyer Paul Cassell and Bradley Edwards brought suit against the federal prosecutors for violating the Crime Victims\u2019 Rights Act in the Epstein case.<\/p>\n<p>As bad as the U.S. attorney\u2019s office was, at least it did\u00a0<em>something.<\/em>\u00a0Democrat Krischer gave Epstein a walk. But no matter how appalling Krischer\u2019s behavior was, the Crime Victims\u2019 Rights Act only applies to federal prosecutions.<\/p>\n<p>When Cassell and Edwards filed their case, they included the claims of various Epstein victims, who reported that the men at \u201cOrgy Island,\u201d where underage girls were being used as \u201csex slaves,\u201d included Bill Clinton, Alan Dershowitz, and Prince Andrew.<\/p>\n<p>CNN gave extensive coverage to the celebrity-filled allegations, inviting Dershowitz on to defend himself and lavishing attention on the irrelevant prince. Amazingly, but characteristically, not once did CNN mention that Bill Clinton was named in the pleadings.<\/p>\n<p>Only one show on MSNBC, \u201cAll In With Chris Hayes,\u201d so much as acknowledged the bombshell case, also without letting on that Clinton had been named as a frequent Epstein guest by the child victims.<\/p>\n<p>But recently, the very news outlets that spiked any news about this case for the past 13 years are suddenly hot on the trail of Jeffrey Epstein. Why the newfound sense of decency?<\/p>\n<p>The answer is: Because they found a Trump connection. There\u2019s a 2002 quote from Donald Trump saying nice things about Epstein and photographic proof that Epstein was one of the hundreds of thousands of people who have been to Mar-a-Lago. (There are rumors he has also been to the Grand Canyon and the Empire State Building.)<\/p>\n<p>This is how the modern American media work:\u00a0<em>I\u2019ll tell the same story that we\u2019ve been frantically suppressing for a decade, connect it to Trump \u2014 and win a Pulitzer Prize!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Here is MSNBC\u2019s Lawrence O\u2019Donnell describing Epstein a few weeks ago in a single segment:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026 a friend of Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein \u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026 child sex trafficker and child rapist and friend of Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein \u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026 a billionaire friend of Donald Trump\u2019s \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Epstein was a \u201cfriend\u201d of Donald Trump\u2019s the same way he is a \u201cfriend\u201d of Pinch Sulzberger by virtue of reading\u00a0<em>The New York Times<\/em>. He\u2019s been to Trump\u2019s club. (That is, until Trump barred him for propositioning the underage daughter of a member.)<\/p>\n<p>But pay no attention to Jeffrey Epstein and his roster of Democratic enablers \u2014 this is a Trump scandal!<\/p>\n<p>It seems that the U.S. attorney who oversaw the federal prosecution, Alex Acosta, is currently Trump\u2019s Labor secretary. Trump didn\u2019t know Acosta\u2019s name during the Epstein prosecution, but liberals think they\u2019ve unraveled Trump\u2019s decade-long scheme to reward Acosta for being lenient on Epstein \u2013- aka \u201cfriend of Donald Trump\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The silver lining is that we finally have a way to make Hillary Clinton pay for her crimes. Trump has to appoint her to his Cabinet. Then we\u2019ll see the entire American press corps chanting, \u201cLock her up!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2019\/03\/06\/ann-coulter-media-magic-how-a-democrat-pedophile-became-a-trump-scandal\/\">https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2019\/03\/06\/ann-coulter-media-magic-how-a-democrat-pedophile-became-a-trump-scandal\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Media Magic \u2014 How a Democrat Pedophile Became a \u2018Trump Scandal\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-118144","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118144","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=118144"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118144\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=118144"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=118144"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=118144"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
